What was the beef between mufasa and scar? Scar wanted power and the respect that came with it. He was 2nd in line for the throne until simba was born. Which is why he wanted to take out both mufasa and simba. I gathered that back when i was a youngster watching lion king. No prequel needed.

From what I've heard about it (especially the fact that they're disrespecting the source material by making Mufasa be an orphan instead of letting him continue to be royal blood) and how disappointed I became from the 2019 remake I totally want to boycott this messed-up cash-grab movie instead of ever watch it and I'm going to have Sonic 3 be the first movie in my whole life that I will watch in a theater twice instead of once!

3 minutes of "who asked for this?" the TLK fandom, for years, even though you believe it doesn't exist, I don't understand why it hurts you so much for a prequel that wasn't made with your money lmao.

It’s taking the artistry of the original film and bastardizing it, putting it through the meat grinder of Disney’s “live action” CGI slopfest, banking on brand recognition alone and a slapdash story to justify its existence. I usually don’t judge people for the art they enjoy like this, but this is not art. If you unironically think this movie is anything other than a worthless, creatively bankrupt cash grab, your taste in art cannot be trusted
It’s definitely a story that didn’t need to be told. The first movie tells you enough. Mufasa is stronger, noble, basically divinely chosen to rule, and scar is a scrawny, pathetic, power hungry little loser. They also…didn’t give him a good reason to turn evil? He basically becomes an incel school shooter because a girl he knew for like two days who he wasn’t dating dated someone else…
Bruh the story isn't about how the girl he loved dated someonelse. But the girl. Dated his brother and his bestfreind who he litreally told abput his crush.. And mufasa just straight up broke the bro code.... They litreally made mufasa into a traitor
The only reason scar is a villain is because he got blue balled by mufasa. Also scar not being the biological brother of Mufasa kinda waters down the value of of Scars betrayal to Mufasa in the first movie.
Awesome review man, I agree why does this cash grab exist. Mufasa The Lion King was only made because the 2019 Lion King remake made $1 billion. Had this Mufasa prequel been 2d animated and tied into the 1994 animated classic it could have been great!
I disagree just because it's not 2D animation doesn't mean it would have been any better besides the original Lion King already had a sequel that's good enough
The story sucked. 1. Mufasa and Scar's relationship being altered sucks. 2. They didn't do enough with the alteration, only hammer in on 'we're such great bros!' 3. The rag-tag group dynamic could've been fun but...the villain's underdeveloped. 4. Scar's transformation into Scar was literally telegraphed but also just...they failed the delivery so it feels sudden as well. You see what they went for, but it's like 'that's way too much of an overreaction. You don't side with parent-murderers because your brother got laid with the hot chick you told him you like'. Just absolute dogshit, inconsistent, and abominable.
Mufasa got mother's love from Taka's mother, trust from Taka's father , got his own mother back ,got sarabi who taka used to like and becomes the King of the most beautiful place, and what Taka's got? Absolutely nothing, he saved mufasa's life countless times just to be humiliated infront of everyone, he lost his mother and father forever, lost his home and birth right, it's he himself traded his future with mufasa's by seeing a brother in him. I'm not surprised by mufasa's fate involving scar, I mean it's too obvious but I was better not to know this all, while writing I realized, this movie shouldn't exist, mufasa was great when I don't know about taka. But now I'm doubting what I learnt from the start. Everything seems balanced somehow, I'm not saying mufasa was wrong but he's not great anymore, Taka's loss is heavier. This balance is making my childhood memories glitch. Making me unnecessarily uncomfortable
I think this film could have been really good as a direct to VHS film during the period when Lion King was at its peak, however the film should have been hand-drawn and paid more respect to the original first film.
I’m a hardcore lion king fan, and I loved this. Yes, it ruined my original idea about their origins, and yes, some of the songs were bland and unnecessary, but all and all I found it very entertaining and fun.
@@FlickeringMyth i knew that i love lion king love mufasa but sonic 3 has been highly anticipated for months no way it's not gonna run away with the win at the movies 💙
Having grown up with TLK I can tell you the intro felt very nostalgic and by the end I had shed a couple tears. Don’t let the reviews so far stop you! The remake of the original I felt was very stiff, the film lacked emotion, color, voice acting was terrible, etc. BUT they improved on ALL of this in Mufasa. The music was better than I expected too. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of at all was Timon and Pumbaa. They were just incredibly obnoxious and distracting from the story. That, and not much information on Kiros/his pride other than “they are evil because they were rejects.” Also gave me some “colonizer” vibes but whatever lol
I actually love this movie and the more yall hate on it it’s gonna be more live action I mean Moana live action show white live action and more upcoming lion king live action so I’m just saying if u keep crying about it it’s gonna get worse so yall say
@FlickeringMyth just because you're invited somewhere doesn't mean you have to go. That's how that works. You whined about the remake and you're crying about how the new adaptions suck. DON'T GO SEE THEM!

Sonic 3 dethroning Mufasa would be so funny to me. 😂
Shadow would probably help scar kill mufasa if he was in the lion king i think
as it should, Sonic 3 is a great movie, Midfasa is not
The canon killed it, like how Scar's betrayal almost killed Mufasa but somehow Mufasa would let Scar anywhere near Simba in the first movie makes no sense at all
And Kiara having a brother makes the whole Lion King 2 Simbas Pride storyline irrelevant now
Songs were not that good either, Lin Manuel couldve focused on Moana 2 instead which had no good songs at all
You probably didn’t know that there’s already a whole serie about Kiara’s brother 🫠
I know about the lion guard and that's were Kion is from. Kion is Kiara's younger brother so by that it totally makes sense.

Mufasa was actually good. Loved how it tied everything. Sometimes critics just like to ride the hate wave.
I hated Timon and Pumbaa in this!
Other than the songs, the movie was pretty good. The songs made the movie drag and the ending felt rushed because of it.

If you go watch this film with high expectations you gonna be disappointed I always tell people have an open mind on a story we don’t know
Even tho i love sonic 3 its honesty annoying seeing sonic comments spread on all mufasa movies its driving me mad
I’m convinced they are marketing bots at this point.
the clickbait
Ngl from the trailers I've seen of this movie. i like it. Only lion king i dont like is the third one where it just had clips of the first and second
My family and i loved the movie it was really good. It’s hard to please people these days.
Glad you liked it! It was a big Christmas hit this year

Maybe this will give Disney the idea to stop relying on live action for guaranteed success 👀👀‼️

Mufasa knows that scar liked her and he still started liking her
He didn’t want too she forced him to
I won tickets for the movie, so I guess I‘m gonna check it out.
