I like listening to upendi by itself but in the movie it's just.... Eh.

I think Nuka is the only son of Zira and Scar.

I don't get why so many people seem to sympathize with Scar or even try to justify his deeds to some extent. Don't get me wrong, I like Scar. He's a great villain. So I like him in terms of how well written he is. But in terms of his actual character and actions, I despise him. There is literally nothing sympathetic about him to me. He's cruel, power hungry, acts childish, and is incredibly narcissistic. The song Be Prepared even has him singing how he'll be "seen for the wonder he is" after he takes over Pride Rock. And later scenes of him after he takes over him Pride Rock show him to be a petty and petulant ruler. In fact, an interesting thing I read a while ago kind of showed that Scar actually shows a lot of traits indicating he may be a sociopath. I find fanfics that try to portray Scar in a more sympathetic light to be interesting now and then, but in terms of canon there's nothing at all to suggest he does what he does for any other reason than his ego and hunger for power. He's a great villain for sure. But he's a mostly unsympathetic one who got exactly what he deserved in my eyes.

^ All the same, it makes them related by marriage, and most people wouldn't want to marry the sibling of their brother/sister-in-law because that is weird. If my sister married someone, I would be weirded out at the idea of marrying his sister. It's kind of weird to me that most people don't find either of these pairings (Kion x Vitani, Kopa x Vitani) strange if Kovu and Kiara are together even though if it were humans they probably would. Or maybe I view romance/marriage very differently from most people.

I don't think Nala is Mufasa or Scar's daughter

I like Scar and Zira a lot, but I really don't think people should justify what they did: Basically what you guys said. They are interesting villains, but being interesting does not equal being justified

[PridelandsPhantom]

My unpopular opinions are as follows:

I believe Kopa is cannon and I like the Kopa/Vitani pairing
I like Zira better as a villain than Scar
I think Nuka is Scar and Zira's son
Sarabi doesn't get the respect she deserves or enough screen time
Zazy deserves a bigger role
Sarafina needed more lines and screen time
There should be more cubs shown
SP should have focused on more than just Kiara and Simba's relationship but Nala and Kiara to
Oh boy, I like the love story between Kovu and Kiara but find it too much at times and too fast and naive. Slow down
I don't like the idea of Kovu as king

I don't really like Kovu and Kiara together in the Lion King II it feels forced and unreal. I said it. I like Kopa and the Kopa and Vitani ship
