[quote="NatalieTheLionQueen"]He lived in the Pridelands caude he was royal to. Don't forget he's Mufasa's brother, and he was a prince. Zira was aswell a Pridelander. But seince, Simba defeated Scar, the punishment was an Exile from the lands. So I suppose yes, if Scar survived. He would be king of the Outlands.[/quote]
Well, would you rather rule over a dump like the Outlands, which are infested with termites and contain hardly any food, or the Pridelands, which are plentiful, beautiful, and much larger? Sure, Scar converted the Pridelands into a sort of Outlands fairly quickly when he became king so I doubt it would make a difference which one he ruled tbh lol.

But he probably thought he'd make a great leader which was what drove him to want to take over the Pridelands.
