What If Scar Raised Simba In The Lion King?

With the "live action" remake now in theaters, the original Lion King is back in the spotlight. It defined a generation and is universally adored, but it's always fun to ask "What if?". So what if one of the most evil villains in animation history, Scar, raised Mufasa's son, Simba? It opens up a whole new realm of possibilities that we never saw! Well, Hakuna Matata because instead of a rehash of the Disney classic, we here at FanScription bring you a brand new version of The Lion King!

Fun fact: Scar raising Simba was an early idea for the movie.

[@SeasideDetective2]

I really think they should have gone by that route. The problem I always had with THE LION KING is that it starts out pretty light-hearted and then turns serious and never really looks back, except for those brief "Hakuna Matata" scenes. By contrast, I loved THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME because it started out dark, remained mostly dark throughout, and then became REALLY dark before concluding with a realistic happy ending. I've always thought that it's better to have a sad beginning than a sad ending. Even SNOW WHITE and CINDERELLA get this right by having the girl's parents die at the beginning. But THE LION KING had Scar being more funny than evil at first, then some comedy with Zazu, then murder and guilt-ridden exile, and then Pumbaa's farting! Very off-putting.

[@andrewgan557]

it will be like what happen in chirin's bell were Chirin the lamb was raised by woe the wolf after the wolf kills chirin's mother. at first Chirin want to kill his mother killer but he's unable to do it cause at that time Chirin was nothing but an weak little lamb while woe was an unnaturally powerful but aging black wolf. so in desperation he decide to become woe' s student so that he can become strong like him. eventually his hatred for woe turns into an deep respect and love for him. viewing his mother's killer as his friend, mentor and paternal figure so much so that after he killed woe he mourns his death and woe thanks him for murdering him cause he's already an old wolf and he knew that someday he's gonna die in an miserable way by old age or from illness. woe prefer to die from a fight with someone stronger than him.

[@monabohamad2242]

I'm not sure if that even makes any sense to me at all like in the video it sounded like simba was actually too young to remember anything when he was apparently kidnapped and so how exactly does the whole "remember who you are" line fit into anything or anybody

[@monabohamad2242]

I kinda really think it just sorta really just honestly doesn't because just how does what you said/say even make any sense at all this video is kinda terrible like maybe corrupting your nephew is kinda worse than trying to kill him maybe just maybe and probably the only good thing about this video/theory is scar didn't seem to kill his apparent own brother

[@Purgosmusic]

I said "Remember who you are" cause that's what Mufasa says. In the original, being with Timon and Pumbaa made him forget about his responsibility but in this version Scar twisted Simba's idea of who Mufasa was. By him saying "Remember who you are you are my son" this makes alot of sense in this version cuz he literally doesn't know he is Mufasa's son also it puts more depth in both Simba's relationship with Scar and Mafasa

[@user-nm5ti9zu1y]

We need the backstory of scar and Mufasa as a spin off series. There’s so many different versions of what scar was originally called and how he got his scar and how the separation of mufasa and scar happened.

[@doglover5791]

At this point with the remake they did throw in part of a possible backstory behind the scar and Scar's hatred for his brother. You see, in the remake, there is a slight change in Scar's "I would never dream of challenging you." It's "I would never dream of challenging you again." In the remake. Scar also has a few more scars littering his body. This sparks a theory that shows that Scar has challenged his big brother before, and almost straight out says that the scars came from Mufasa himself, which is why Scar uses the stampede instead of outright challenging him, he knows that he can't defeat Mufasa in combat

I think a more interesting idea in my opinion would be to let the movie play out as usual up to Mufasas death. But instead of telling Simba to ''run away and never come back'', he from that moment on starts grooming Simba into his heir. Whispering things like ''Mufasa is gone, he left you but I am here'' and stuff like that. Keeping him away from his mother for years.

I already knew that lion brothers often stay in a group once they're booted out of the pride to look for other territory, I just didn't know they were called coalitions. (Though, lions don't really grasp the concept of incest being bad, the dominant male just kicks them out before they can challenge and supplant him Greek mythology style. Avoiding incest is just a fortunate coincidence. Most of the time.)

I really like this! The tone remains more consistent than in the "real" movie, which corrects what I've always thought was a major flaw. But Simba still deserves to be king. So I imagine this being a two-part film that goes in a MUCH darker direction, with Simba growing to resent Kion just as Scar had resented Mufasa. Kion, meanwhile, does not feel he deserves to be king, and he lacks the will to object as Simba begins to turn his young nephew against Kion, just as Scar had done to him. As time passes and the nephew becomes fully grown, Simba begins to realize that he has, in fact, become just like Scar - except that in this case his anger is somewhat justified, because he really IS the rightful king. History has repeated itself, but this time things are going back to the way they should have been, rather than radically changing. This confuses Simba to the point where he finally decides that both Kion AND his nephew are his enemies! So now Kion is guilt-ridden and conniving as he struggles to maintain his (unearned) position, Simba is full of bitter rage at being cheated out of his destiny, and the nephew hates his own father. We have THREE antiheroes all opposing each other! The question then remains which of these three will become a full-blown villain...and events come full-circle as it's the nephew who becomes villainous, killing Kion and forcing Simba to mount an attempt to overthrow his nephew. But on the night before the battle, Simba receives a vision in which Scar's hellish, demonic ghost appears to him and taunts him, revealing that his revenge is complete as he has succeeded in splitting apart the kingdom that was denied to him by his nephew's birth. Simba is now determined NOT to let his uncle have the last laugh, and he makes peace with his nephew, admitting to him that he deserves to be king more than Simba himself does, because he had been manipulated into bearing the sins of the two generations that had come before him. Now it's the nephew who's confused, and he tells Simba that the two still must battle as a sort of ordeal, with their fate left in the hands of the Gods of the Pride Lands, who will decide by divine intervention which of the two of them bears the lesser guilt for everything that has happened. Just then, though, Mufasa appears to the pair as a ghost and reveals that, upon his death, HE became one of those gods! He forgives both his son and his great-nephew for what they have done and urges them to join forces in driving the hyenas out of the Pride Lands. Once this has been done, however, the nephew turns villainous again as he concludes that Simba was right: he DOES deserve to be king more than Simba! The two battle, and Simba ultimately kills his nephew. Now the rightful king is on his throne at last - but he feels terrible about everything he has been forced to do, and vows never to have any children, declaring that he doesn't want any future generations to have to bear responsibility for his mistakes. But then Mufasa appears to Simba again, reminding him that the "circle of life" has cycled around to where it was at the beginning, and now Simba must forgive himself and make a fresh start, doing everything he should have done from the beginning. Simba listens to his father and reluctantly embraces his status as the true king, bearing a son of his own so that the two-part movie ends just as it had began. A very satisfactory conclusion - and, in a way, a happier one that what we really got.

[@bobho2202]

That's what I thought should happen! TBH, the vid does have an interesting spin off but can Simba really shakes off years of conditioning by Scar that easily. And besides, this would be much darker and realistic.

[@ellisisland3382]

I have a slight change to make. Simba met a lioness and had a son with her. The other lionesses shun her and either accidentally or purposefully cause her death. Simba grows to resent all of the lions of pride rock including Kion, and treats his son the way Scar treated him. The rest can be the same, I just like this way better lol.

[@julianaboor7971]

I like this version, because the new events put in place actually help scenes like Simba seeing his dad the clouds, and Simba's line to Scar "everything you ever told me was a lie!" both scenes have more weight now and pack a bigger punch than in the original; I think it would actually be pretty cool if a version like this got made, instead of the rehashed CGI animated movie that we got in the theaters.

I already wrote a my fanmade prequel about Scar's origin. His original name was Hafifu a name that means "weak" and was envious about his brother getting what he has not, the family goods, and hated his father Ahadi for not taking him in consideration. One day Ahadi finds out Hafifu wished to be king and during their conversation his son reveals that he wish to get rid of Mufasa to became king so he scratches his little son face out of anger leaving him a scar on his face and exiles him to the Elephant Graveyard. After being exiled by his father he gets adopted by Raka, the hyena leader, which manipulates him by taking advantage over his sadness and wants to use him as pawn to make her gain hunting rights in the Pride Lands. So he raised him to became a mastermind and nicknames him "Scar". Scar is full of vegeance and plans to turn Pride Lands into a wasteland as revenge for being exiled and mistreated. Scar planned his reintroduction in the Pride Lands by manipulating his older brother's symphaty and succeeds it.

Not even a challenge for me. My only problem would be finding a way for her to switch between human and beast form. A curse with benefits.

[@benthekingofking]

Easy. First I change Maurice to Anne or Annette an not that old woman who raised Beau, he's not his actual son but his nephew, why because Annette is like in her 30s, she is a crazy inventor just like Maurice but is not taken very seriously and Beau is slowly following her into it, helping her building a tiny machine she will present to a fest a few towns aways. Gaston is kind of the same except he is now a much more mature men with a long list of acomplishment in different war and now fianlly wanting to settle down and have a son strong enough to follow his legacy and he wants to marry Annette because he sees her as the perceft mother since she raised Beau, who was not even his son. After it no changes until the deal with the Beast ,Aleanor, she basically force Beau to stay in the castle to help repairing the old parts of it, understanding he might be the solution to her problem but being unable to trust him she prefers to stay away. She as cold as the Beast but does not try to seduce him as she is not confident enough to do it and do terrible mistakes while trying like in the original movie? Instead of a library he finds a workshop with almost everything he dreamt to have with Annette to create their invention. Then the movie follow kind of the same pattern. The only difference is what makes Beau flee. He is in love with Aleanor but need to stop the forced marriage of Annette with Gaston because he knows his aunt would never marry a guy like him. When he arrives he tells the story and the village who was here to celebrate the wedding decide to raid the castle to kill the Beast after Gaston screams the idea. Here the final battle is between Gaston and the Beast at first but the old man Gaston is as not just a good strenght but also know to trick his adversary and is able to beat the Beast with a few mean strikes, meant to hurt,when he is about to finally show her Beau but himself in front of her and receive the shot ... we don't know where the bullet landed but Beau is on the ground and the Beast go to check on him he say it is evident now that he loves her and kiss her. Aleanor then changes back to her human form who is a stunning twenty years old woman. Gaston looking at the woman tries to seduce her before she land a fist on his face, making him fall of the stairs and broke his arm very badly (yeah he is not dead but unable to use his strenght). The movie end with the wedding between Beau and Aleanor, while Annette with Lumière and Big-Ben are moving furnitures around the castle

To be fair, if we were trying to tell different stories for these classics, they would either A. Mess it up or B. People would be upset of that fact I can come up with a few ideas Alice in wonderland and maleficent are what they are For Cinderella, Jungle book, and Pete’s dragon, I would keep them the same cause they change enough, but keep enough. Especially Pete’s dragon. For beauty and the beast, I would just not make it. If I was forced to, I would mix in the play and the disney film 40%/60% Dumbo I would keep the same plot since I’m the only human alive that actually likes the film For Aladdin, i would pull a maleficent on the classic tale and have it focus on Jafar. And if you think that’s a dumb idea, Disney is making a cruella de veil film with Emma stone as the villain, so get people warmed up to this type of story. For the lion king, I would rather have the story told from Nala’s point of view. Because they never really talked about that angle in the original.

So...what if Scar did Zira’s scheme first? I think if Scar killed Mufasa and then raised Simba as his own, he’d be in a better position. Sure, he’d only be acting king for a few years, but he’d probably be able to have his own cubs and ensure some kind of true legacy down the road should Simba’s line fall.

Simba and Kion’s conversation and Simba’s departure: Simba - “The Pride Lands is very beautiful and healthy again, just as it should.” Kion - “Yes it is.” (Kion raises a question) Kion - “Aren’t you going to take your place as King, Simba?” Simba - “No. I have no plans on being King at all. I’ve already decided I’m going to leave.” Kion - “Why? You’re the firstborn. The throne is supposed to be yours.” Simba - “While that is true, Kion, but it’s come to my attention and decision that I can never fully forgive myself for what I took part in. Plus, I feel that I’m not in the right condition to be King. So, I’ve decided to live away from the Pride. Pride Rock was supposed to be my home and Nala was supposed to be my mate as we were betrothed a long time ago. But everything I’ve been through has left me feeling like I have to find my home.” Kion - “Please reconsider, Simba. We need you here.” Simba - “I’m sorry, Kion. My mind is made up. Plus, the other issue for why I cannot stay is because most of the Lionesses still aren’t fond of me after all that’s happened. Goodbye, Kion. You’re the King now. Be good to the Pride Lands. Be much better than I ever can.” (Simba leaves as Kion ascends to the throne and roars to the Animals of the Pride Lands and the rest of the Pride as a sign of that he is now King as Nala and Rafiki join Kion with Kiara while Kopa watches offscreen) (Simba bows with the Animals of the Pride Lands and leaves) (As Simba is leaving, Timon and Pumbaa catch up to him) Timon: “Simba, wait up. Friends need to stick together.” Pumbaa: “Yeah. You’ll need us.” Simba - “What are we waiting for? Let’s go. Time for me to be a Rogue Lion.” (As Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa leave let’s say to go live in the Hakuna Matata Jungle, Kion sees it happen) Nala - “Will Simba ever be back?” Kion - “If the Pride Lands ever needs him, yes, he will be.” I would not this to cut out Bunga being found as he later becomes Kion’s best friend so that the events of The Lion Guard can still take place. I’m pretty sure Kion will not have any intentions of banishing other Lions unlike Simba did originally as Kion also does not become overprotective of Kiara since he does not suffer from what Simba did suffer from originally.
