^ Ahhh, I see. Well, if I haven't brought it up in the group Skype chat I probably haven't brought it up anywhere else on here, lol. Like I said, I kinda had forgotten that that was a thing. But yeah, it could've easily gone the other way. It was the first movie where I really almost got into the fanbase and the last one I was obsessed with before TLK came along. It was pretty random, honestly, but... you know, there you go.
And I liked him for a lot of the same reasons I ended up liking Scar, I think. It was a pretty simple transition since both of them are disgruntled male employees/pride members/what have you that are resentful of x higher figure/brother/king, and will do whatever it takes to get the recognition they deserve and climb to the top of the company/pride, even if that means killing/kidnapping/manipulating other people. So not too surprising, I guess. Also I found his design pretty neat, like I did for Scar.
But yeah, that movie does have some memories for me in that way. xD It came out when I was a young kid as well so there's also a bit of nostalgia factor in it too.
