It's so frustrating cause the whole point of Scar is that he's manipulative! He is friendly to Simba and gains his love and trust in order to make him vulnerable, yet in the remake they try WAY too hard to make Scar evil and he seems to hate Simba, like why would Simba want to be around him at all? They took a great villain and made him so stupid

[@michaelstrong5383]

Exactly. They did the same thing with Jafar in the Aladdin remake. They took away everything that made him a great villain and made him so bland. I can't even imagine what they would do to Frollo when they remake The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Yeah for some reason Disney has answered the plot twist villain issues by taking away characteristics and manipulative tactics of their villains?

If you’re going to put in a message and force people to look at every choice as a gendered choice, you’re also forcing them to realize that Shenzi was doing decently enough (I guess) before Scar, and made a stupid decision as a female leader to blindly follow a clearly evil man that ultimately ruined everything

[@michaelstrong5383]

The wildebeest stampede in the original was so overwhelming and rambunctious. The stampede in the remake looks more like a leisurely run. How the hell do you screw up one of the most emotional scenes in animation history, *JON?!!!*

[@videogamenostalgia]

In fairness, that's just how stampedes look IRL. In animation you can make it work by stylising it, but stampedes tend to look a bit goofy and underwhelming in live action.

[@ysucae]

well, sure, stampedes look goofy when you see them from afar. have you seen human stampedes? it looks stupid. but try being in one. it's terrifying! you don't see anything but a faceless crowd, a huge movement, a wave of bodies that can and will crush you to death. i will not stop. it will kill itself to try and get away. it's pure fear. you just run. run run run. and i can't imagine how it feels when you are so much smaller and powerless. filmmaking is about making you feel stuff when you're living it. not while you look at it from afar. there's not one irl look at a stampede from inside it, for a reason.

Even if you were confused, you can do a tiny bit of research and realize hyenas have a heavily matriarchal community, which also explains why shenzi was occasionally abusive towards the other two. You would also find out that they are scavengers and would do anything for food, even ally themselves with potential predators like in the original.

[@MrTheWaterbear]

Ah, that's right - Scar's plan is to kill both Simba and Mufasa in one go. As the plan fails, and only Mufasa dies, he thinks on his feet and blames Simba, causing him to be an easy target for the Hyenas. Supposedly, other lions were rushing to the scene, so he had to get Simba to run away so the kill would be discrete? Maybe??

[@lindsfreey9080]

I guess plausible deniability mattered to Scar? Like TECHNICALLY he didn't kill Mufasa, the stampede did. And TECHNICALLY he didn't kill Simba, the hyenas did. If nothing else, it at least adds an interesting spinelessness to him.

[@TheHuntsman6]

maybe it’s me misremembering the film but I thought he only planned to kill mufasa. The blame for his death seemed like a little thing that came with the plan instead of what the plan was supposed to be. Like he didn’t know what to do with simba after. Scar sent simba away ‘cause he thought he would just die of starvation rather than directly killing.

[@Moony1568]

@@TheHuntsman6 Scar sent the hyenas after him after telling him to go away. They gave up after being blocked by thorns and decided that Simba would die from starvation. Scar planned on killing both Simba and Mufasa at once. When he addresses the lionesses, he says something like “The loss of Mufasa and Simba is a terrible tragedy.”

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

The idea of Scar blaming Simba was likely just something that came to him after Mufasa had died as a sort of emergency backup plan, and since Simba was too young to realize his uncle was evil, he believed him because of how manipulative Scar was. From adult rationality you could see a number of issues with Scar’s logic in how it’s Simba’s fault, but to a child who’s incredibly traumatized you could believe it.

[@menzoznem]

I think he doesn't kill Simba for several reasons. Maybe he prefers to have his minions do the work for him as he doesn't like to get his hands dirty and risk getting caught with killing simba. Lastly, perhaps he can't mentally do it as Simba is a little kid of the same species. Perhaps that is just too cruel even for scar. Additionally, it makes sense in terms of the story that he sends the hyenas to kill simba now as that was the way he tried to kill simba before. Now Mufasa isn't there to save him anymore, the plan should work.

[@veronikavartanova4044]

[@victorialofaro8354]

If anyone was wondering, they made simba's eyes so big because that kind of quick reaction is called a "take" in animation and you're supposed to push the poses unnaturally far since they'll only be on screen for a frame. It is a really cool animation technique because it communicates the feeling and movement very clearly and your eye doesn't normally notice those crazy poses

Things like Simba’s eyes getting huge is something you’d notice if you took it out. Animation tends to look stiff without the slight exaggeration. It helps add to the effect of him being startled by Scar’s sudden “No!” and turning back to him. The emotion and reaction would seem more underwhelming and it’s honestly kind of amazing what a difference one panel adding that “snap” in an action makes.

Part of the reason why some things in animation like the original Lion King are drawn so exaggeratedly is because the animators must account for motion blur. So they often stretch the characters or make certain aspects of the animation pop to convey movement more fluidly.

When Mufasa died in the remake, which the original made into one of the most powerfully sad moments in any family film, I can’t remember if I was laughing in the theater or simply had my jaw on the floor with my face shriveling back in revulsion at what I was witnessing.

I love that they're both pogging in the thumbnail

12:45 We don’t get the hyenas talking because there is no hyena trio in the 2019 movie akin to Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed did in the original. We have Shenzi as the leader, and we have Calamari and Azari as two insignificant “comic relief” hyenas that have no meaningful connection to the former. As a matter of fact, I found it hilarious when the three of them and another random hyena chase after Simba, and the fourth hyena fucking runs off a cliff just so we can have a shot of the three named hyenas standing together for a moment as if they were a trio, even though they are not. It also explains why the hyenas have so little presence in the 2019 movie, since you can't recreate most of the scenes from the 1994 movie when there is no established trio to speak of, and Shenzi isn't allowed to have any camaraderie with Jon's two OCs because she's too busy girl-bossing it XD

“I was never sure about Shenzi’s gender” “Well the thing about female hyenas is... *e621 Flashback* _The artists don’t really know the difference either_

Adam has officially lost his mind because of this movie.

[@Neo2266.]

7:55 I love it when Adum gets genuinely mad XD But seriously, never insult a creator’s lack of finished work as absence of work

[@shaydilane2172]

I just watched your finished review and now I’m slowly going through these highlights. Idk what it is man, but I’m always immediately engaged?? The way you talk about things and the points you make are really compelling and they make a lot of sense, plus they have given me a whole new outlook on the original film and a deep appreciation of its subtle story-telling choices. It’s just really interesting to hear you go through each part and explain what makes the original work and what makes the remake not, no other person that’s reviewed the remake has illustrated half as much detail as you, it’s insane!

[@dylanmcartoonell1536]

Tha cardinal rule of visual storytelling: Show don’t tell Jon Favreau: No I don’t think I will.

[@ShadowRubberDuck]

Can't believe Adam went on google images to find stock footage of a lion cub to show the emotions of Simba in the Lion King (2019)

[@comixproviderftw_02]

Simba (2019): 😐

[@KevinGlovered]

“With better grammar, you’re right,“ might be my favorite quote here.

[@DaWoWzer]

1:25 I stay up ONE night and decide to use my phone ONE time to watch the stream and THAT'S the time I end up on the highlight channel, auto correct tiredness makes me sound like an eastern European who learned English through programing a soviet tv antenna accidently picked up from Finland.

[@amythebonegal8808]

Adam doing the “hmm suspicious” cracks me up every time

[@karsonpalmerswork]

I like how this implies that whoopi goldburg WASNT already a hyena girlboss

[@PeninsulaPaintings]

The pan up shot with the wildebeests definitely happened away from where they ran down. The pan up was directly above where Simba was, but the stampede entry point was way to the left of him, hence why he looks over and sees them coming down from a distance. If that cliff face where the camera panned was the entry point, they would have just fallen on top of Simba; rather than run towards him.

[@adamc3718]

25:06 That is the look when my cat is sitting on my desk chair and knows it is getting pushed off, not seeing your parent fall to death.

[@eloso5670]

Taking bets on which comes first: this or Nerd City and Clown’s Jaystation vid

[@eddiedingle767]

Released on the same day. Didn't Jaystation return as a gaming channel?

[@enormousiserratic8276]

Throw in the Cuphead dlc either way $500 on Adum

[@Gerald-of-Riviera]

Holy shit I forgot about that. Unlikely they'll drop a video though.

[@inefffable]

"Jesus christ, stop the stream" Lmao I laughed so hard at this for some reason

[@BlumenCT]

Seeing these scenes and bits of dialogue in context reminds me of trying to "rewrite" things as a dopey young writer and trying to add nuance and complexity where either it didn't belong or where existing nuance went over my head. Scar saying the valley is some rite of passage sacred place is exactly that. It actually feels like fanfiction. The pacing and logic of the sequence is perfectly good without pulling bullshit reasoning out of your ass.

[@MrMixtape]

Uncle throws brother into stampede, instantly regrets it

[@2manymovies]

It’s funny because he said black girl meme and I knew exactly the image he was talking about and I was right

[@Sparkledash1]

I think Adum already mentioned that with the entrance of Mufasa in the first real scene of the movie. But, the way Mufasa shows up to save Simba from the Hyenas, is so incredibly Marvelesque that it hurts. It's like Iron Man or Captain America have come to save the day.

[@localcesspool]

To be fair it's a Marvelism that slightly works better here than Mufasa appearing before sunlight (without lens flare) to ask "hey why weren't you at my baby shower"

[@jml_filmes]

Mfs compare so much to Marvel even though that trope has been existed YEARS before Marvel made it cooler

[@UWotM-hy6sb]

Imagine if yandere simulator is done before this review is (Still can’t wait tho)

[@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves]

I feel comfortable in saying that it most definitely will not be done.

[@yanstein8464]

no it's not yandev will be milking donations for the game until he drops dead, im sure of it

[@squidsquiddly5970]

I always find more to say on this lol.. But in the original in the scene where they show the full scope of the gorge you can tell that the sun is not quite down yet. It is late in the day and clouds are covering the savanna in a beautiful kind of speckled light. This leads to him running away at dusk "presumably running alone all night by himself" until he collapses and passes out until around noon the next day to be found by Pumbaa. AND YET AGAIN in the REMAKE you can't tell ANY OF THIS. It is all the same boring ass dusty dry dead looking day for all I noticed. EDIT: The original utilized SO SO MUCH of the landscapes to portray emotion and inner turmoil/joy you name it... Sad to see Disney FORGET this ENTIRELY in pretty much EVERY remake.

[@michaelstrong5383]

This film's direction of the weather is very weird. I know I'm like the millionth person who says this, but during the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" scene in the remake, it takes place *IN THE AFTERNOON!!* Unlike the original, where it looks like the sun is setting and it's starting to get a little dark. This is, supposedly, an animated film where you can make the weather be whatever you want it to be. How do you screw that up?

[@squidsquiddly5970]

@@michaelstrong5383 exactly! It is like they animated the whole thing minus the lip movements and songs and THEN were like "oh what was this part again?"

[@NinjaGuyDan_]

Holy shit. You've been working on this for longer than i thought lol

[@jennifertrandafir]

37:22 Everytime I watch the original movie's scene, I always get emotional. I can see, feel and hear Simba's emotion when he sees his father die. Then there's the remake's version of the scene and I start laughing whenever I hear JD's whining and see Simba's 0_0 face. 1994: 😁😲😭 2019: 0_0

[@Empressette]

“Why is Nala commanding the lions? She’s not the queen, she hasn’t fucked Simba yet-well maybe she has fucked Simba but-“ I snorted. That caught me off guard 😂😂😂

[@BrickBuster2552]

17:08 That echo has the same energy as The United Bank of *M O N E Y* .

[@ihavemovedtesreviews]

14:56 has whoever said that ever been to a cliff before? Grass beside cliffs is completely normal.

[@overtherenowaitthere]

why am i so enthralled with watching youtube creators live stream their editing process....maybe something to do with why im going to school to edit videos...

[@stepinahalf]

I fucking cried laughing at the "naughty boy" comment.

[@MajesticAngel13]

yES vs YES Why does this movie have characters say “yes” in such awkward and memeful ways?

[@lilliegreenlaw]

18:20 Here's my biggest problem with the echo on the "yEs". It's so clear--you can tell it's either artificial or produced in an empty room made specifically to produce an echo. The gorge isn't going to produce a perfect echo, though--all the irregularities in the wall are going to warp it, just like audio produced outside sounds completely different to audio indoors.

[@Proud11Peacock]

39:46 this is somehow worse than the version of this scene from Kingdom Hearts 2 where Simba is just smiling the whole time 🤣🤣
