A different point of view about Scar plan it a positive outlook

That is actually a pretty good point.

Oh my gosh what if Disney did another movie like they did for Sleeping Beauty with Maleficent and made it the point of view from Scar and he doesnt seem like such a bad guy in it with this theory?? lol

well if we comment on that link our voice just might be heard enough

I doubt it'd happen regardless, but it just kind of reminded me of Maleficent. They already have 3 movies and soon to be 2 shows branching off of this franchise. I doubt they'll add much more.

dont think that, I say TLK should expand more, for education purpose and to help wildlife, thats what im all about and thats my misson and goal for TLK to help make it more popular!

True. Lion King isa one of the reasons I love safari stuff (my bedsheets are zebra print lol). Part of the reason I love the environment probably too

I think scar was a manipulative *bleep* who was also a murderer, and made young nala cry... Which is the second saddest part in the movie.

The first two are really bad the third thing is unforgivable.

I like your way of thinking Elton John. Scar didn't want to help the Hyena's, he wanted henchmen to do his dirty work. As well as solidifyhis power base, watch his back, and to ultimately use as scapegoats when things went south for him.

Agreed.

He also hit sarabi so hard he sent her flying a few feet which is not something i'd hope people would defend.

That probably wouldn't be a very good idea. Turning him into another woobie Disney antagonist would just wind up undermining his character.

A lot of people already didn't care for how Disney needlessly went and tried to turn Maleficent into a sympathetic figure in an attempt to give her more depth, but at least it was just one film. It was an experiment that worked for some, and didn't for others. Going and doing it again with another classic villain such as Scar would just be derivative and cheapen him severely.

Whatever sob story he might have works better in theory and fan interpretation, but it's not something that should actually be shown in a film. It'd really just sully his image and come off as hackneyed and make the TLK world feel smaller instead of bigger.
