Scar was a weak lion while, for the most part, the lionesses were unified, powerful, and tactical hunters - which means they could’ve fought against Scar’s rule right? Couldn’t they have fought off the hyenas and defeated Scar without Simba’s return? Why would the lionesses restrain themselves? By the end of the video, I hope to explain these very questions.
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

[@gameinsane4718]

Actually, Killmonger quite literally “assumed” the throne. The trial by combat is decided only by yielding or death. And like T’Challa said he never yielded nor was he dead. Killmonger’s refusal to resume the fight and settle the matter properly meant a violation of his rise to power and forfeited his claim as king by obtaining the throne illegitimately. While T’Challa being he son of T’Chaka and beating all other “legitimate fighters” made him the true king, Eric by all accounts took power through false information and when given the chance to take it the right way declined. It wasn’t that Killmonger was unfit. Ruthless and tyrannical to outsiders? Yes! But when it came to brass tacks he actually had a lot of public support in his attempt to conquer the world through technological dominance and an military force that could not be reasonably disposed of without a united global force, which Killmonger was already working towards gaining for himself, or by weaponry already outlawed by the UN, a group Wakanda wasn’t yet a part of. Killmonger WAS technically right and even his methods weren’t flawed from a militaristic point.

they (the lionesses) were willing to leave in the original, sarabi even suggested doing so to scar once the land was barren, it was scar who wanted to remain. if they werent willing to leave then sarabi wouldnt have suggested it.

[@tammyblack2747]

I hate the fact that we lose so much watching What appears to be a nature documentary as opposed to the animated version of this movie. In the original version the animals all have expressions that conveyed their emotions. You could tell they were either sad or angry or happy or whatever. In this movie in the scene where the faucet dies, the only expression you can see on Simba's face looks like a cat meowing for milk as someone put it. In the original version in that scene, Simba looks like he's actually upset.

[@kaithdvd]

I watched the remake, and absolutely loved it! 😍 I appreciate how we get to see Sarabi act as a queen and the leader of the lioness. Nala wanted to convince Sarabi to fight, but the queen stood her ground and told her that they must wait until the time is right. Sarabi seemed to be trying to protect the pride from doing an impulsive attack against Scar, because he is protected by his army of hyenas, they'd have a low chance of winning against a clan of hyenas outnumbering them, and are better-fed than them. The queen can't leave, rebel on impulse, or (spoiler alert) accept Scar's offer to be his queen, because she's the last one the lionesses can lean on for strength.

For me, The Lion King (2019) was a decent remake. While the film has some flaws, such as be prepared being shortened, the way Mufasa's ghost was done and a few others, the film wasn't horrible. The music was as good as ever, the settings in a live action rendition look great, the CGI in the film was amazing and the film had elements where it still felt like Lion King to me.

[@jkrose7029]

Austin Williams, THANK YOU! Everyone is saying it is just utter garbage, but it really isn’t. Of course it isn’t as good as the original, but the cast and crew did an amazing job!

[@annaa.9990]

The remake was beautifully done. Many people complain about the lack of facial expressions (which was a little odd), but the realism and beauty of the CGI made up it. Not to mention the voice actors did amazing at portraying emotions. The shortening of Be Prepared was a little saddening, but I quite enjoyed how they incorporated the song into a speech. Was it as good as the original? Absolutely not, but it was interesting and it added a darker element onto Scar’s plans. Definitely wish it was longer, though. The soundtrack was loud, booming, and very chilling - it was beautifully done. I do wish Spirit wasn’t part of the movie, as it didn’t fit in very well - but overall, it was amazing. Obviously a remake isn’t going to be as good as the original, but the effort - and detail put into this film, along with its own original twists was very well-done. The backlash it has gotten from some people is not necessary.

[@Redbird-dh7mu]

There are definitely a few things I didn’t like, the realism shouldn’t of been a thing, part of the charm of the original film was the facial expressions and the body language of it, the realism limits the remake when it comes to the more bizarre scenes, which is something I did not like. Also, I feel like the designs were lacking, the lions looked too similar, Scar didn’t look like scar, and Timon looked... well not good. There aren’t any deal breakers in the movie, it is ok or maybe even decent, but when you place it next to the original film, the remake is a microwave dinner next to an expensive steak.

I mean, from what we saw, Scar and Simba were the only males in the pride. So since Simba supposedly died, if they would of killed Scar, there wouldn't have been any King to lead them. Plus, since Scar is closely related to Mufasa, the lionesses would probably feel guilty killing the former King's only brother. But that's just my theory

[@sceptre80]

I was asking exactly this. If they are based on East African Lions (forgive me I don't remember the specifics and haven't watched this video in it's entirety yet) the lionesses are more than capable of overpowering Scar. I just don't think they'd have any other lion that would be able to rule over them. No coalitions are present. Who knows?

[@alexman378]

1) They were outnumbered by the hyenas, who backed Scar 2) There was no other male lion to take over from him 3) Lack of food probably affected their energy All that changed when Simba showed up. A peak male lion could fight off more hyenas (like Mufasa did), there was someone to take over, and even though they were all famished, the morale was boosted and there was something to look forward to after Scar was gone.

You’re right. They basically gave Scar the benefit of the doubt. The ascend to power was “proper” after all, especially because the lionesses did not have any idea what happened. So they had no choice but to respect it. No one was willing to step up to be the leader in overthrowing Scar, not until Nala cannot take it anymore. Nala did not intend to look for Simba. She was looking for anybody who can help :) Only to find out that Simba is still alive so might as well have him back haha

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

The way I see it, it's not that they wouldn't even at the cost of disrespecting their king, but they were afraid to. Not because Scar is intimidating, but they (With the exception of Zira's cult.) also know how smart he is. My evidence is as follows: In the beginning long after circle of life, Scar makes a remark about Mufasa coming from on high to visit the common folk. There were lionesses sleeping in the cave where Mufasa and Sarabi sleeps, but that doesn't meant they were all there. There could be a bunch that lived on the same grounds that scar lived. (If Lion Guard is anything to go by, a few lions as well.) So naturally even if they weren't seen they could have heard his conversation with Mufasa. Specifically his remark about having more brains than brawn. And since it's shown that despite the classes the animals can intermingle with each other at places like the waterhole, they could have talked to the higher class lioness about the conversation. So naturally when Scar took over, there would have been a plot to kill or overthrow him, but they would worry because he's intelligent that he'd have a trick up his sleeve. Simba's arrival eased that worry, but they would be right considering Zira and Kovu were his trump card.

I loved the 2019 remake, eventhough there were some scenes that werent good, such as when nala found adult simba the dialogue between them felt forced and out of rhythm. "Can you feel the love tonight" wasnt done well enough and felt lacking. Be prepared could have been done better and I would have prefered seeing sarabi age. But that being said the cgi and special effects were amazing and beautiful, from the sand blowing over the dunes to how the animals moved and behaved made everything feel real. Also changing a few scenes and adding new ones made more sense, such as making shenzi the matriach of the hyena clan( females are the leaders) and scar having received his scar from a fight with mufasa. For those who believe that the remake is dumb because the animals show no emotions, REAL animals cant show much emotions either such as crying or smiling. The remake isnt perfect, but it is the best disney remake so far.

Thank you so much for posting these theories. I am so glad I found your channel. I do have one tiny little question of my own that I'd love to hear your thoughts on, and that is What if Shenzi took Timon's proposal seriously and said yes? I know it's just a goofy little side gag, but I figured if anyone could come up with a long what if story, you'd be it.

When Scar rose to be king, the entire pride was wounded by the loss of two of their pride. They were weakened by the emotional fallout, and in that state, having hyenas in the pridelands became the new normal. Having lost two of their pride, the might have felt a desperation to rally around all the remaining members of the pack (including the unpalatable Scar).

Another great video! I would love to see a video on Kovu's childhood. After he became friends with Kiara. Hope to see a video like that in the future! 😄

[@priscillalunan7958]

Honestly I liked the 2019 version even if there was flaws in expressing emotion on more realistic animal character compared to the animated version. Simple showing and baring of teeth for anger, ears pin back and eyes blown wide for fear, and audible purring for happiness would have been nice to show believable non human emotions. But overall it’s enjoyable and the CGI is beautiful and eye catching.

"Why did the lionesses not overthrow Scar?" The same reason a certain someone remains president.

[@kristianschuff1723]

Nah the people elected trump trying to impeach will lead to civil war

[@UmmYeahOk]

kristian schuff well, while I don’t disagree with you about civil war, I will disagree with you on the fact that “the people” elected him. He did not win the popular vote, only the electoral. And many of those who did vote for him, were lied to, and continue to believe the lies. Scar lied to his supporters by making promises that benefited them, just as Trump did. And for both their supporters, did they keep their promise? Scar also said Simba killed Mufasa. So, to many lionesses, supporting Simba would mean that you support the destruction of the pride lands. So those who continued believing the lies, even after the truth was told to them, fought back, were sentenced to banishment, and then fought again - civil war. Just as you said.

[@kristianschuff1723]

@@UmmYeahOk trump won more counties if went by popular vote states like New York and California would run if everything due their high population and no one would pay attention to the smaller states

[@UmmYeahOk]

kristian schuff counties don’t matter. I live in TX where there are 254 counties. Most of them are rural. If we based elections on counties, then Farmer Cletus who barely made it out of high school, would have more power in the outcome then a county with multiple educated and informed voters. So we have electoral colleges to prevent this. Why should Wyoming have equal or more say in our countries future than states that have insanely more people? That’s like saying everyone in the office wants pizza, but that one single person does not, so everyone must have salad instead, because somehow it’s not fair for that one person. This topic is no longer about the Lion King, but I ask you, in these past three years, what has the man done for you? Has his administration done anything at all to make your life mildly better? If Hillary had done ANYTHING, any ONE thing, that this man has done, there would be riots in the streets, people with torches and pitchforks, assassination attempts, investigations... ...but you know something? I would WANT investigations. I would want them to prove she was innocent. And if she wasn’t, I would want to know. The people deserve to know! It down right ticks me off that people would rather root for their team, rather than make the game better. People on both sides need to put their country before their party. The very fact that people would rather watch the pride lands burn, because they refuse to let the other side regain power just shows how selfish and unpatriotic they are. Scar literally told everyone the he lied, he killed Mufasa, and STILL some lionesses (at least in the sequel) supported him. You know what “covfefe” really means? It’s Swahili for “I killed Mufasa.”

[@megagodsavageredlion9772]

After scar murdered his older brother mufasa, scar became the next king of the pride lands for under the lifespan of 6 years, the lionesses were outnumbered and were intimidated by scar and his hyenas, this persuaded nala to go out to the jungle, attempting to find simba which was successful, nala was then able to convince simba to return to the pride lands to take his rightful place as king, but before simba returned, the lionesses had no other choice but to remain loyal and respectful to scar and to obey all of his orders. Scar was murdered by his own hyenas because of his constant lying and betrayal and because he blamed the hyenas for mufasa’s death knowing that he was the one responsible for mufasa’s death, the hyenas were only responsible for the huge stampede in the orders of their former king, scar. Simba took credit for scar’s death, simba pushed scar off the cliff as self defense, scar survived the fall but he didn’t survive his brutal demise by his own hyenas. Simba ended up becoming the next rightful king of the pride lands. Simba and nala had 3 children together in total, kopa (former future king) and Kiara (current queen) and kion (current leader of the lion guard) from the lion guard, kion is the current leader of the lion guard, after his parental great uncle, scar who was not a good lion guard leader at all. And also If it wasn’t for nala, then scar probably would’ve still been king, he would’ve still been alive, and all of their future’s definitely would’ve been much different and probably more dark as well, and simba probably would’ve never returned to the pride lands to take his place as the next rightful king without nala’s help and persuading.

[@alexong2542]

Reason #1 He was the rightful heir after simba and mufasa gone Reason #2 He was backed up by the hyenas, whose numbers are probably equal to the lioness or more Reason #3 He did rape most of the lioness. The leader of the pack is alpha male, and he gets to mate with anyone.

There’s 10 of them and hundreds of Scar’s goose-stepping Hyena goons literally nipping at Serabi’s heels at one point in the film. A better question is why did Scar feel he needed to plot to kill Mufasa at all. He had the force to take Pride Rock without treachery.
