Scar's revolution was justified.
MiniMacropod
Apparently the word "taka" in Swahili also means "desired" or "wanted" when used as a verb/suffix. So, I guess it depends on perspective.

That’s why mom named you Joe Dirt instead of…

Either Slash or Scab. Your choice.
michaelfire
umm...scab?
BTWash22
My 10 year old daughter would know this. She know the entire Simba family tree. It's a lot bigger than you might think.
TODAYSNUMBERIS
That’s Disney for you.
Haiddon
this is my cat garbage, I lured him into my home with half a shrimp on a string and I love him more than life itself

He will push you off a cliff to claim your house.
SarahDancePainter
And he would be right to do so.

In the statistics book the world is flat two boys, brothers were named winner and loser

Simba is lion in Swahili
neodare
Scar is called garbage and has to look at his brother, whom his parents see him as the definition of a lion, leaving him feeling worthless
TheS4ndm4n
No, his brother is mufassa. Which means king. Simba is his cousin, mufassa'a son.
neodare
Lol!! Thanks for the clarification, been a while

Also, it would make more sense if Mufasa, not Scar, had a black mane- black maned lions are healthy, strong, alpha lions who lead prides

Kimba the White lion! Not to mention literal Hamlet. Not exactly a fresh film,
Jhazkrit
AKSHUALLY, that was a claim that is pretty extensively debunked. Here, have a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5B1mIfQuo4

I stupidly thought it might of been Moonbasa
Botticelliii
I thought it might be Mu-slowa.
Cemoreabstract365
How is he slow?
Botticelliii
Well he obviously can't "Mufasa" can he?
Cemoreabstract365
I mean like and Lei happened.....story writers are human too
SilverHarvest
Also when you think about it. Pride pack leaders either kill or exile male young early on. to keep their power and harem.
blueyarn
Just like the polygamous cults!
meganical
I thought they kept them around if it’s their son. But, I only watched like one documentary on lions years ago. Honey badger docs are better
SithShodan
Seconded, I'm with the honey badgers on this one.
IAmDrBanner
Even the son gets sent away eventually most of the times, or he beats up his father and takes over. The loser becomes a wandering lion /1
NormalVariant
Some it seems to depend on the size of the pride. Larger prides have more males cause one dude literally can't handle that many ladies.
malakim
IAmDrBanner
and either dies alone or takes over another lion's pride. If the fight doesn't kill them, of course. /2
DakotaWolf
Brothers will sometimes set out together after being run off by their father, if they both aren't killed that is
IAmDrBanner
It is not limited to brothers either. A wandering lion only gets weaker and weaker, as they have to spend their energy hunting and /1

Their dad did see it.

Well, there it is.
Potatopeelerkind
Why do they have human fingers?!
Pandizil
to hold the soap?
Trelis
That is the point you have issue with? Which state are you from? And would you leave Alabama if you had the chance?

Why does anyone have human fingers?
gIoblobbIobgob
Who’s human fingers are these? Where did you get all these human fingers?

VulpineEmpress
Finally, my turn! Fuck you, Lassannn.

JK3600
What did he do? Or this cuz he's a furry?
Lassannn
I'm NOT a furry.
SuicidalBallsack
it's a long running joke. i'm sure someone more savvy can link the imgur post explaining. tried to find it but couldn't.
VulpineEmpress
For the same reason they have a concept of royalty. Cartoon logic.
Potatopeelerkind
But they don't in the movie though.
VulpineEmpress
They also didn't cover the fact that Nala and Simba were highly likely to be closely related. Cousins, at the very least.
hewhovotedforhomora
They also cover the fact that as a mature lioness scar likely mated with nala
VulpineEmpress
They do when it suits the plot. Even added a raised pinky.
Potatopeelerkind
But they're not as long and thin as in the comic. These ones don't set off my weirdness sensors.
TravisTee34
Going by the dialogue in the movie, it’s pretty clear the two are not related, but rather brought up together in the hope.../
TravisTee34
That they will fall in love. What we’re looking at is an arranged marriage.
YourMemeSucksHarderThanaDyson
Bruh you're trying to hard
dukegonzo
*too (you didn't didn't try hard enough)
TravisTee34
Zasu notices the two whispering and is excited about the idea of them falling in love, and mentions that the two are “bethrothed”.
TravisTee34
When Simba and Nala object, Zasu tells them they have no choice. This isn’t some vague inference. They spell it out in the movie!
Someshithead241
But it never once implies they aren't related.
UrbanNorthern
Tbf Scar being her dad would not have made the situation that much better
Evergrey
Mufasa would have killed any cubs Scar fathered.
CaptainMarkoRamius
Roll Tide...
maddeninglemon
It'd take it into the realm of typical European royal marriage though.
onepinksheep
It would have made this deleted scene even creepier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl8gDjaHWWA
VulpineEmpress
Half siblings vs cousins....slightly better, but yeah, not that much.
