Was Scar Healthier than Simba?

[Pixie]

[quote="KiarasMate"]Scar was probably only given a black mane to add to his dark personality and to clearly pin him as the antagonist.[/quote]

I agree here, Kiara's mate. Disney can be abit racist sometimes. But they made up for it in SP because the dark lion, Kovu, became a goodie in the end.

i reckon disney just ignored. you just have to look at thiere physice to see there healthier and stronger than scar

Other. I don’t think it has anything to do with health or age.. or hormones for that matter.

In my opinion, Disney ignored factors like these and chose to give Scar a black mane simply to show his evil personality and dark heart. Being the villain, you would never see Scar with a platina mane and innocent blue eyes. Disney has to make the little kiddies understand who the bad guy is, and giving them black hair (or in this case mane) and piercing, glowing green eyes is a good way to do that.

(And about Kovu: They made him look a lot like Scar on the outside, but nothing like him on the inside. Never judge a book by it’s cover, right?)

If you toss scientific facts aside (because let's face it, Disney movies are NOT known for their scientific accuracy ), it becomes rather clear that Simba is healthier than Scar.

If one takes a lok a Scar, his mane appeares thin and slightly dishevelled, and he's lean almost to the point of unhealthy. He say's himself that he was not born with brute strength. He simply does not looks he cares for himself very well.

Simba, on the other hand, looks much better. He also possesses a small build (at least far smaller than Mufasa's), but not to the extent that Scar does.

Toss aside science, and look at simple looks, and it seems clear that Simba looks far healthier. At the very least, while Scar is "thin", Simba could be classed more as "athletic".

The Film is as realistic as choosing a fork to eat your soup with instead of a spoon, and Disney ignored the scitenific malarky this time round I think.

many would think that the fact that Scar has a more darker mane, means that he is more healthy, but you have to concider that Scar was having a lack of food because of the conditions on the Pridelands that was when he was king

[Cantwait2bequeen]

Do you think that just because color of mane means stronger? Then wouldn't that imply that Scar was healthier then Mufasa too? No way
I guess Disney didn't go with the facts.

Simba is definitely the stronger one

I'm not so sure. What I'm sure of, though, is that Mufasa was bulkier than Simba. Simba lived on bugs most of his life, no?

[Loinsheart154]

wait wasn't simba eating nothing but bugs for years?

[Cappio]

Yep!
