[@straysoul1818]

You know, here are two things about hyenas that make me think a lot more than I probably should : - the hyenas only followed Scar by hunger... from his whole speech the only part that matters to them is food, and I wouldn’t count that as plain stupidity because : - they look famished. Just think about it for a second. Where did Mufasa take in count the hyenas in the cycle of life? I mean, sure, natural ennemies. But we’re talking of talkings lions interacting with talking herbivores, so I think that’s beside the point. The hyenas were always shoved away from the lions’ great plains simply by their birth. They didn’t choose to be born hyenas, why can’t they eat like the other animals? So Disney is either telling kids that some people are born evil (predestination and shit), either that social injustice is normal. After all, these peasants living in famine are just a threat. And the remake made it look even worse... Don’t get me wrong, I love the classic, it’s by far one of my favorite films if not my favorite, but this makes me think too much before going to sleep 🧐

[@pupperpalace9889]

That's what I was thinking, I dont think the hyenas are stupid, I think they're desperate. Think about it, ALL hyenas live in what is essentially a wasteland with no food, little water, or protection. If they are as starved as they are in the movies then that means that not only do the adults suffer but so do the kids that are born there. And if your in a poor environment with barely anything to sustain yourself, kids, or family then you (and others around you) are bound to start suffering from physical or mental issues (which might be why some hyenas are quote on quote "stupid"). Plus, does anyone actually remember seeing teenage or child hyena in the movies? No? Then that means that most likely lives for hyenas are short and the adult hyenas that have made it probably are suffering from lots of issues or have watched their own children pass away (or even end it all). So yeah, the hyenas basically have short miserable lives where they suffer from simply being born the species they are. And I dont think it's ever really explained as to why (don't quote me on this I haven't seen all the movies) but even if they're was a reason condemning all hyenas to a fate worse then death because one hyena caused trouble a long time ago isn't a good excuse. Future generations of hyenas don't deserve to suffer for that and shouldn't in any capacity for something they didn't do. Personally, I think something happened in the past that made lions and hyenas hate each other and eventually got hyenas to suffer from it. Now I don't know what it could have been, maybe an argument or rumor about the hyenas got way out of control or something but I guess we'll never know. Edit: Also, if the hyenas suffer from mental illnesses or simply from emotional trauma due to their horrible lives. Who's to say that they're laughter isn't a coping mechanism or an unfortunate habit/symptom they gained due to their mental illness.

[@Devisidev]

Well If we look from a nature standpoint, hyenas are both extremely violent and scavengers. Who's to say mufasa even knew that the hyenas were suffering. Natural scavengers usually eat only the remains or already dead animals, so Mufasa likely believed they had food out in the wastelands. Hell, there's an elephant graveyard where they live. Maybe Mufasa was just blind to their conditions and thought that they were fine.

[@sebastian114]

@@Devisidev what? Hyenas are better hunters than lions are, and they frequently lose their kills to lions. Lions are more likely to scavange and steal kills. while Hyenas actually are real hunters so yeah no lion king got it very wrong. love the movies but Hyenas are superior to lions when it comes to hunting.

??? Uhhh Jeremy Irons only did 2/3rds of the song and Jim Cummings did the last 3rd (which was from "you won't get a sniff without me" to the end) Why that is?

The more I listen to this song the more I have to acknowledge how much of a musical genius you are. Hitting those notes is something else man. Really hope you get picked up to be a VA somewhere

That art alone is a much better concept for a live action version of The Lion King, than the "live action" we actually got

[@absolutelynobody8465]

Darby is . . . just . . . I have no words to describe how incredible that man is. But Evil Darby is so intimidating it's amazing.

[@aqj2014]

Never imagined them as humans...that artwork is amazing. Song was great too

[@eleonora1644]

This is the best cover of be prepared I’ve ever heard, that “You won’t get a sniff without me!” is just so perfect and evil! I love this, good job

This guy does a good job at voicing close to royal roles, first a royal guard in training, then a knight, and now a soon to be evil king. great singer.

[@thehornyasexual]

Why does Scar look so fine in this fan art tho

[@Kogasengaha_Hishoshi]

When put into a Human perspective, you can see there is a clear difference in royalty and what little is left for the others until they turn rogue sort of. While all this is going down Scar is helping those who are left behind in the kingdom and are their symbol for a chance for something G R E A T E R.

Absolutely no 1. Scar don't help them, he just use them 2. The hyenas are not behind, they have role in the circle of life but Scar ruin and let them kills every preys, they just eat but they are not productive, they are not poor guys that need help, they are just criminals or parasytes, they just eat without help, this because of Scar (in the movie Banzai complain against Scar and say "Mufasa was a better king") P. S Sorry for my bad english

I *love* Shenzi's design/art style in this Anime Version. (The female hyena antagonist *is* Shenzi, right?)

I like Ed

[@kylethewarrior17]

And this is why I love Darby He's so good at so many different styles and ranges of singing and he always impresses me with everything he does

[@terrakaion]

I really like the takes on the character designs. Scars looks menacing and driven, Shenzi looks both malicious and pretty cute, Banzai looks malicious also but a more focused kind, And Ed just looks like he’s having a good time, The vocals also work really well here.

Dude.... that was amazing! The voice actor singing for Scar nailed it! That bit of personality when saying certain lines felt so good and I could feel Scars personality from the film all over again. So so awesome! Good job guys! :D

Your voice is amazing! Also, I love the idea of the hyenas being like post-apocalyptic biker gang members, like in the artwork here.

[@toxicradiation7485]

Not sure where to post song suggestions, but an idea for one could be a lyrical-ization of a Super Smash bros theme? Maybe the new Ultimate theme or something? I dont know the legality of it because Nintendo can be overprotective, but I think your lyrics over one of those themes would be killer!

[@echoflowerproductions1445]

I've heard that according to a Nintendo spokesperson they're okay with fanwork as long as it doesn't damage the integrity of the brand (they have the short Terrible Fate on their favorites). So they should be okay doing it.
