[quote="Simba"]but when he says "I'm the oldest, I'm the strongest, I'm the smartest," wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to mention that Scar was his father as yet another reason why he deserved to be the choosen one? he didn't mention that.
plus the only similarities to Scar he has are an angular nose with a hooked nose pad, extremely common in all Outlanders, a blackish mane which again isn't all that unusual, and a lanky build that again all Outlanders pretty much have and most likely results from their lack of food in the Outlands.
all Nuka was saying in that line was that Kovu wasn't Scar's son. it doesn't mean that he is instead. besides, Nuka doesn't really associate himself with Scar at all in the movie, he wants to be leader because he thinks he's more capable. he even remarked "Yugh" when Zira was talking about how Scar's coniving mind made him powerful.[/quote]
I think when he says oldest, strongest and smartest he means he was the firstborn heir, and he has more experience in leading hence the phrase "I could be a leader if she'd just give me a chance."
Nuka has dark eyeshades like Scar, dark fur like Scar, a black mane like Scar, a black nose like Scar. Nuka IS Scar pretty much. And all outsiders don't have a Scar shaped nose and dipped nose bridge.
Acually the pridelander nose is more common in Zira's pride.
Why would Nuka complain about Kovu if he wasn't Scar's son himself. He wouldn't even have a reason to complain. I'd believe you if Nuka had said "Kovu, Kovu, Kovu. He wasn't even firstborn." but he didn't
There really no reason to not believe Nuka is Scar's father.
