While mufasa had his flaws , there’s no denying that he loved his family . ( I can respect that.)
Yes true
He really loved them. Thought he wanted to sleep a little more.
@@YourFeelingsSucksAny father might, especially when they want to sleep in a little more on Saturday mornings while their kids are already up and active.
@@1987AnimeBoy or the pets would be active, or both. ^^
Resting help a lot.
Ew no. He made fun of scars scar it’s a good thing the true king scar DESTROYED HIM XD all that’s left is for him and his hyenas not be dumb and eliminate simba and nala and scar can rule in peace forever XD😈🔥
Mufassa: “Everything the light touches is our kingdom.”
Simba: “What about that shadowy place?”
Mufassa: “That's the live action remake. You must never go there, son.”
😂
"And don't forget, it's our little secret!"
Wonder if I’m the only person in this comment section who actually likes it?
The shadowy place is where they’re trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty 😂
@@YourFeelingsSucks your majesty...
Mufasa took Scar for granted. He never thought Scar would be jealous of or kill him.
All the more reason why this should’ve been a scar origin story instead of whatever we got with new the lion king
@@CatKun-2000the subplot where the cobra venom turned Scar evil wasn't original.
You got the witch Karaba who came from the movie Kirikou, she turned evil because of a scorpion sting in her back.
But unlike what the village assumed, she never went as a cannibal, she turned the missing men as wooden figures who were forced to serve her.
She become good again as the sting was removed by the hero himself, the curse was lifted alltogether.
Scar was aknowledged as an "evil lion", but he couldn't have the roar of the elders which was given to the leaders of their own lion guards.
Ehh, I wouldn't he say he took him for granted. I think he underestimated him in a lot of ways, which is something different.
No he didn’t he’s an older brother and siblings tease each other
Scar is just petty
@@YourFeelingsSucksit was an original take it’s not about how many times it’s done it’s about how it’s different
I can't believe Kopa isn't canon.
That's Simba's firstborn son whom was killed by Zira.
Agreed, that would expand more on why Simba banished Zira to the outlands, not only because she pledged allegiance to Scar with some others.
When I looked kopa up it says he's alive
Isaac, you need to read A Twisted Tale Anthology. It's a book with a bunch of What Ifs for different Disney movies. It's really good. There is a Lion King What If called "A New Dawn". The summary is that Mufasa lives after the stampede and basically forgives Scar for what he did. Simba is extremely distrustful towards Scar and tries to get him exiled. Mufasa is hesitant on it and thinks Simba isn't ready to be king, but after Scar attempts to kill Mufasa again, Mufasa finally banishes him, and Simba becomes King.
I have never heard of this book before. Is it good?
@@gunnark08there may be a PDF format of it. ^^
It's a very good format to not spend money on.
I love that series, but I haven’t read the lion king one yet
I think what makes Simba ultimately the best king the Pride Lands ever had was that he eventually always came around to advice from others. His friends and family. His kids both had different ways of breaking traditions and while he was always against it at first, together Simba found life better for everyone when he gave things a try.
Mohatu was the best king. He worked with every species, even crocodiles. Even mufasa admitted he was the greatest king
@@EddyTheLion ooo I see
he may not have been a perfect king but he was a good king and father
I wish his backstory with Scar could be expanded more,
The "cobra venom turned him evil", wasn't really necessary, some websites said that he was named Askari like his ancestor of the same name..
But his real name was Taka, aknowledged before the Lion Guard.
Personally, I think that if mufasa was the one who gave scar his nickname, then maybe, but they had a bit of a rivalry as they grew older.
@@christianndlovu-lh7vu Disney just tried to do their own re-take, it could have worked if the books didn't existed.
Just remove the venom, expand it on their childhoods, and how Scar went from being nice to the one we saw in 1994.
Like Syndrome from the Incredibles.
Yeah, no. The reason the cobra attacked him was because Scar was interested in a coup long before that point. Only after HIS life was in danger did Scar do the bare basics of his job, then expected accolades for doing said bare basics.
@@davidspring4003 he followed the "strange lion" instead of refusing from doing so.
OG Scar was smart and manipulative, the recent Scar is really stupid, and the fact that he was driven to murder by his nickname.. 🙄
The book clearly said that his scar was an accident, not a random lion and cobra friend to join the "evil club"..
@@davidspring4003 well when you put it like that...
If truth be told, as I read about Mufasa on Disney Wiki, Mufasa was not really a bad King. He was actually a great King. He may be a strong and powerful and dignified ruler, but he is actually known for his wisdom through years of experience and instruction. One flaw about him is that Mufasa, though very wise, mature, reasonable and responsible, is a poor judge of character.
Simba is even worse with his judgement.
He assumed the worst about Kovu, and exiled him because he felt that he was "betrayed".
Kovu wasn't taking orders anymore from Zira.
That is with Simba's case of his overprotective nature due to his past experiences when he was a cub. What I mean is that Mufasa did not look inside the heart of his younger brother Scar as he believed that Scar, as his brother, is his family, besides his wife Sarabi, his son Simba and his grandchildren, Kiara, Simba's first-born daughter, and Kion, Simba's second-born son which he'd gives advice to. When came the tragic moment of his life during the stampede of the wildebeests, Mufasa realizes too late and too little that Scar and his hyena henchmen had orchestrated the stampede, when Scar says mockingly, or taunting like: "Long live the King", then Scar lets Mufasa go.
@@spencerbeard7490to be honest, there were a scene where Simba told the truth about Scar, and Kovu said that he have never heard it before.
Simba showed a little sprout that grew among the burned lands.
Simba could be over-protective, but Kovu had no intentions to betray him, as he loved Kiara.
As Simba would say to his son and I quote, "We all make mistakes, Kion."
Simba was right about his assumptions though. Kovu's whole purpose of going to Pride Rock was to kill Simba. He just so happened fall for Kiara and change his mind. That doesn't negate the original plan though. Think about it, Scar's chosen heir, who was raised by the lioness that hates him randomly comes to join his pride? Why wouldn't he be suspicious of that?@@YourFeelingsSucks
Ahadi was actually an outlander and Uru is the daughter of Mohatu from the pridelands. Ahadi had gold fur, a black mane, green eyes, same nose like scar, same head shape like scar, and more bigger like Mufasa. Uru had dark fur like scar, red eyes like Mufasa, head shape like Mufasa, and a line on her forehead.
Mufasa maybe had his flaws (almost always I saw him as very perfect), only his relationship with his brother Scar, and he never thought of betrayal of him or keeping Simba away from him (knowing what he is like and the possible bad influence that could be on him), because I was really shocked when in The Lion Guard, Scar revealed how he got his scar and Mufasa just nicknamed him "Scar" without knowing about the cobra poison and the evil effect.. But he did govern well and was a good father who loved his family, and so I guess he never saw Scar's betrayal coming, he even trusted him when he told him that his son was in danger without suspecting him; although with his power as king he could have banished him according to is allowed that animals that threatened the Circle of Life be banished, even if they were lions
To be honest here, the scene with the cobra was too random..
It was also from Scar’s tainted point of view. Mufasa probably nicknamed him scar as sign of respect for stopping a bad lion and the venom was already taking affect without mufasa realizing it. It’s also a bit different from the comics on how Scar got his scar. He got it in an accident and it made him tell his family to call him scar instead of Taka and it’s before he became part of the lion guard.
Like that quote from the Story Animal farm "All animals are EQUAL"
Well, Mufasa was a good dad and king but he did treat his brother like crap ever since he got that scar from the snake.
Technically, the cobra wasn't the one who gave him his scar, nor that Mufasa nicknamed his brother "Scar".
In the Tales of a two brothers, he got it by accident.
@@YourFeelingsSucksthe book isn't canon
@@AlfieTrevor4444 Lion Guard is a spin-off.
Mufasa just has kind of an anger problem and kinda belittles his brother But he still ruled good I suppose
Often doesn’t matter how good you are to others, all it takes is being angry, mocking or otherwise cruel to just one person for them to want you gone.
It’s personal.
*hugs * to anyone who needs them!
Issac I really do think you need to do a video about why Scar didn’t recruit Zira and the other outsiders and again I think the simplest answer is that Scar never cared about ANY of them. I mean despite Zira’s claims that she and Scar were close and that Kovu was his chosen heir I honestly think Scar didn’t give a 💩 about them. I mean remember that scene between and Sarabi where he outright said that he was perfectly okay with letting everyone starve to death and even before Simba returned even the hyenas were getting tired of Scar’s BS and let’s also not forget that in The Lion Guard Scar’s ghost had his plan to have Kion’s roar burn down the Pridelands all while Zira had her whole plot to have Kovu murder Simba and take over. And I also really never got why Zira was so “loyal” to Scar when she claims that the outlands have little food and less water when wasn’t it like that when Scar was King?
For me it was a great relief that Scar did not recruit Zira and her pack ahead of time, otherwise they would have won, and it is also very clear to me that Scar didn't even care about his allies: when he blamed his first allies inthe first movie, and it was even an absolute betrayal when he planned to set fire to Priderock with the clan of Janja inside because they were no longer of use to him.
Scar never cared about anyone but being a king.
He wasn't prepared, even Banzai (i think), said that things were better when Mufasa was here.
Shenzi told him that there were no food around.
Nuka was considered to be the chosen one, but it wasn't under care, more because of legacy.
Zira was too blinded by hatred to notice that Scar never put them in his heart, he was using her.
Exactly Scar said he would be better but he wasn't he let chaos reign and it killed the pride land forcing all animals to flee elsewhere
I think Zira was not only a loyal follower to Scar, but she was the mother to their son Nuka and daughter Vitani, BUT Scar had hand chosen Kovu to be his heir and took him in (and was raised by Zira to be like Scar and be king, despite Scar not being his father) I'm not 100% sure if Zira was his mother or she simply took Kovu in . Also after Simba left and Scar took over, everything was destroyed and the herds had moved on from the Pride Lands. It was most likely that the same thing happened when Zira and the Outlanders were banished
@@louisewestie989 First off I seriously doubt that Nuka and Vitani were actually Scar’s children since well….it’s never said in either the movie or The Lion Guard. And NO writer or producer has ever confirmed it. It’s just one of the many plot holes that makes The Lion King as a franchise a big mess. And second I’m pretty sure the outlands were always like that as we see with the Elephant Graveyard in the first movie.
I recently watched the episode from the lion guard called 'the trail to Udugu' and watching how Kiara and Kion learned to get along and work together, and had a sibling bond, you can now see how Mufasa and Scar never really had that strong a sibling bond and shows that even Mufasa was flawed and although he loved his family and his kingdom, he never really thought much about his own brother. Which is kind of sad.
I think he killed a former hyena leader, before Shenzi become one.
Only females hyenas are leaders.
Yes, exact; I'm glad at least Kiara and Kion did have a good sibling bond learning to work together, but sadly that Scar and Mufasa no
I think that was more on their parents though. Simba and Nala made it a point to raise them that way where as Mufasa and Scar's father seemed to never make their sibling relationship a priority@@BG-be8di
@@mollyshaj.3888 mm I also think that because of what happened with Scar and Mufasa, Simba and Nala decided to raise their children equally, without preferring one over the other and teaching them to work together
Honestly i really like Percy-McMurphy's take on Scar, its a comuc on deviantart that includes the lion guard very well, as well as his relationships with the fastests and others, and has good takes on what happened with the hyena clan, the lion guard, and even had a good thing where Scar was exiled for what he did, but he did something sneaky (or the comic's zira did something sneaky to get back in, since scar's exile was decided by ahadi that he will be exiled until his reign as king was over, and then it was up to mufasa. Zira got ahadi killed, mufasa let scar back but he was no longer royalty until his failed plan got him and zira able to save mufasa from an old blind water buffalo that got his rank back) to come back. I also like AudreyCosmo13's take on Zira, creating a heavily abusive relationship between zira and Scar, showing that scar cares for nothing but himself, and zira just desperately striving for his love, but just getting dust and stones
ISAAC CARLSON: Yeah I myself have rewatched the lion king so many times (it's one of my favorite movies) and when I was a kid I too often thought that Mufasa was a good king while Scar was a bad one, but looking at it now, I realize that during Mufasa's rein there's room for improvement and that he made mistakes, but maybe instead of trying to decide on whether or not he was a good king, maybe the more accurate question is whether or not he was as perfect of a king that the Lion King tries to portray him as. Nobody is perfect and it's like Simba said "what's left behind can grow better than the generation that came before" and that's essentially what Kion did in the Lion Guard. So for me was he a good King I would have to say yes because his heart was always in the right place and had a lot of love and protectiveness for his family, friends and kingdom, but was he a perfect King No because as you said there were relationships that he could have mended before he died and maybe his death wouldn't have happened if he had taken better approaches towards mending them
oh thanks for reminding of that Simba's quote: "what's left behind can grow better than the generation that came before", because Mufasa did have a big heart, which he also passed on to his descendants, and Simba and Kion had the chance of to improve the reign inthe Pridelands,In the Lion Guard this was seen, when Kion, after defeating Scar, managed to unite the Pridelands and Outlands in peace and that the Circle of Life is also respected by the Outlanders
*So Mufasa was a good king, but maybe not perfect as I always saw him maybe before; because yes, if Mufasa had perhaps repaired the relationship with his brother or sought a cure for his scar's poison, everything would probably have been avoided, maybe
For me, from the first movie, no. He was not a bad King or a bad Father. It’s a great movie and he was a great character and I wish we could have seen more of him as well as more of him and Scar and the complexities of both of them but from the movies and not all these side things most people don’t watch or read.
No he was great King
And banished newborn hyenas for being hyenas XD great king indeed XD ;)
This is definitely an excellently informative video and it is a true masterpiece.
They recently released a Nightmare Before Christmas prequel telling the story of Oogie Boogie and his relationship with Jack Skellington. Think you could talk about that, Isaac?
Every video you do about the extended lore of this franchise just convinces me more and more that there is alot of bad writing going on in the shows and books for this that doesn't really line up with the original movie or it's direct sequels.
Next theory: Was Zazu Working For Scar?
There is a theory on Reddit suggesting that Zazu was secretly conspiring with Scar to dethrone Mufasa and Simba because he had concerns for the future of the monarchy under their rule and believed Scar would be a better king then them.
I always thought that Rafiki was a good friend of Ahadi (Mufasa and Scar's father).
That would explain why Mufasa hugged him in the opening.
@@YourFeelingsSucksAhadi isn't canon
@@AlfieTrevor4444alright, i guess that lions are like aliens then..
@@AlfieTrevor4444He is. If he isn't, then I think their father could be someone replaced.
maybe Thera was royal to scare over Simba because of what happens when a new lion king over throws the old
I think the best way to answer this is to ask ourselves what the original intent was back in 1994 no one knew the lion king was going to spun off the way that it did as such it was a self contained story about a good king getting betrayed by his evil brother and his Sun avenging him it’s Hamlet with lions. as such while the expanded lore is nice I don’t think anything that came after words was meant to frame Mufasa in a bad light he still did his job to the best of his abilities regardless of his thoughts on hyaena’s and still respect the circumstances the life, also bring his granddaughter together with kovo was technically his ghosts idea
I always find it fun to look at back a old Movie mostly Disney and look to see them differently😂😂😂 Also happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃👻👻
I liked the cameos in Once Upon A Studio.
Scar. Another example of Disney ‘s jilted relative to those in power. If you take The Lion Guard as cannon, Scar was the intelligent leader of the Lion Guard in his time, and was ok with that, but when his brother didn’t listen to him , or believe him about a threat that we find out later slowly filled his mind and heart w darkness, he started to view his brother as an unworthy leader. Like a simple heat-felt thank you and some regular flower mede could have prevented so much. The one thing TLG didn’t do, was have Mufasa or any of Scar’s relatives express any regret or apologies to Scar.....until Kion broke the cycle. Good boy.
Can you do a response to how shoulda ended . Mufasa's ghost coming back immediately . Or why didn't he tell Simba its not his fault when he did visit his son
I think personally that the ghost wasn't able to talk to Simba until he was ready to listen. Simba ignores his issues and kept running, even insulting something his father told him before seeing the ghost
wow you really just came right out of the gate with this ,Issac
Mufasa wasn't a bad king in anyway. He just choose to hope for the best with Scar and thought He would change given enough time. He clearly did not see Scar as a threat.
If the only Hyenas Mufasa ever knew were evil He would have had no reason to believe anything different.
Kion was very open to hearing Jasiri's side of the story so Whatever Hyena hatred was taught to Kion obviously more importance was placed on respecting all creatures. Otherwise Kion would never have listened to anything Jasiri had to say.
Mufasa had a bit of a mischievous streak with Zazu, but He must have done something to make it up to Him (There is also the fact that Simba And Nala did allow this disrespect of Zazu to continue with Their Children)
I think Simba's disapproval of Kion's Lion Guard was not of a sense of Lion Superiority, but more of a case of: As the ruling animal Lon's should protect The Pride Lands. Also as is evident by the:
"Your Life depends on who is on Your Team"
Clearly Simba did not have confidence that Kion's Team could have his back when Three of Four Teamates are phisically weaker than Lions.
Also I agree with You. With no Male to Be King of The Pride Rock I think Sarabi would have ruled asThe Queen
I always knew Scar was the villain, but from the beginning of the movie, it did appear to me he was dealt from the bottom of the deck, literally card number 52. Like when Mufasa said, “ That ‘hairball’ is my son, and your future king.” He was everybody’s future king, wasn’t he? I don’t know exactly how royalty works in families, but for an older sibling, as opposed to being a parent, he seemed to have an awful lot of power and authority over him. I don’t think killing his brother and coveting his role as king was okay in any way, but I wonder if their parents by any chance favored Mufasa over Scar all the time, as well as leaving the throne to the first born son, which, I understand, is just the way it’s done. I can’t imagine that Kate and William favor George over Louis. And again, I’m not defending Scar’s evil ways, I’m just saying that parents are supposed to love all their children and treat them all the same, and everyone should always feel important and wanted, not just demanded for convenience, even in royalty.
Anybody wondered what happened to all the other male lions in the Pride Lands?
Syppose they moved to other tribes, there were only two in the pridelands, one in the outlands.
Dead
They are over There * Points off camera*
don't forget to mention that when scar got his scar after protecting the pridelands Mufasa didn't thank him, he just nicknamed him scar
Mufasa is definitely deferent when you explain why
Isaac thank you for always making an effort to keep us entertained!
Mufasa was a just and righteous king in my book. Great video as always, love your take on things in the TLK universe.
Love your channel. Really great work!
Love your videos isaac! Happy halloween! 🧡🧡🧡🖤🖤🎃🎃🎃
At the end of the day, Mufasa was a good king...but he was imperfect. Most good leaders have flaws, but it makes them great leaders when they embrace and learn from them. Unfortunately, Mufasa never got that chance. I guess Ghost Mufasa was on board with Kiara getting with Kovu. So, perhaps Mufasa learned afterall
Yeah I think from afterlife he gained a new way of looking at things especially by the second movie. I think he was still a bit tough in the first movie as a ghost insulting a bit of the way Timone and Pumba raised Simba but maybe seeing that there was lions who were loyal to scar really made him question things and where he had gone wrong as a king. Leading to his influence on trying to change things with Kion and Kiara
I wouldn’t say bad king, just not perfect, flawed, and failed to know when lines are crossed
If Mufasa hadn't been taken away too soon than maybe he could've learned that not all hyenas are bad and more about ALL the animals in the pride lands.He could've also learned about Scar's intentions too
Learning the motives of the villain right away would break the suspense easily.
It's good to see the character developing throught the fiction.
@@YourFeelingsSucks Well if they kept him around a little longer he probably could've had some character development
@@Beachmunks a agree with you! ^^
This would be one hell of a faniction i would love to read. write it as a book
Even though I now know that Mufasa was a flawed character/king and not just Simba (as seen in The Lion King 2), I still say “Hell nah, he wasn’t a bad king. Besides, let’s not forget that Scar’s reign proved to be disastrous for both the Pridelands and the Circle of Life. Though I don’t like that the toxic belief of all hyenas being evil and greedy was passed on from generation to generation, I feel like for the most part, Mufasa and Simba as kings were just doing their best to preserve the Pridelands and Circle of Life.
Love your amazing videos happy Halloween 🦇 🎃 don't forget Disney Wish 2023 coming in November 22 love the cute wishing star ✨
Happy Halloween 🎃🦇🕷️☠️👻 Issac
5:21 but in the alternate world where scars supporter was queen couldnt scar just suduce her and become king through marriage?
As Zira was a simple lioness with no royalty, or coming of a family of one, amd she wasn't introduced till the 2nd movie,
I don't know..
On 13:09 Since Zira asked Kion who's side he's on, sure he's a lion, *BUT HE'S NEVER GONNA ACT LIKE SCAR, JUST LIKE HE SAID TO HIS REFLECTION!!!*
Mufasa is basically King Duncan from Macbeth - wise, yet too trusting and ultimately unable to foresee betrayal from a close relative (basically the whole of the Lion King is essentially Macbeth from Malcom’s perspective). He is exactly the sort of unpragmatic (and virtuous to a fault) leader Machiavelli reluctantly criticized in "The Prince". So, basically Jimmy Carter.
Theorist vs Critics . Isaac Carlson vs Easley confews Mathews
Isaac can You do A Video on Why was Master Shifu's chi so strong when Kai took it?
I’m ganna say 50/50 he was grate dad but we don’t really see him as a king in the films as happy Halloween everyone
my next Question is: what happened to ed shenzi and banzai before the lion guard
Mufasa is never evil
true
Kimba is the real Lion King. And Kimba's father Panja was a better king than Mufasa. Panja was also better than Mufasa with the fact that the scarred lion villain was actually put in his place by Panja and stayed out of the way as a result..Then when Panja died it was up to Kimba to fight off the scarred lion and take his place as king. The scarred lion guilt tripped Kimba into thinking his father's death was his fault and chased Kimba out of his kingdom. Kimba had to search within himself to get the strength to return. Then when he returns he finds the scarred lion terrorizing his kingdom and running it into the ground. He also was trying to steal Kimba's mate. (That was a part of the Lion King plot in early concepts. Ripped right from Kimba) The Lion King ripped off that arc of Kimba's story. That was the plot of TLK as a whole.
Kimba will always be a good anime, i love the artstyle and story.
@@YourFeelingsSucks The 1989 series is much darker. And it has many of the element of TLK so I am not sure I believe Disney at all. Also, in episode 37 his father's ghost appears to him to give him the same type of speech that Mufasa gave to Simba. ruclips.net/video/xNHMXLMsxZ4/видео.html (This)
@@blueberrypitbull87 the TLK have many elements of it.. Kimba is a much older franchise.
Awesome as always thanks ❤
scare didn't disrespect his nephew
He called him a hairball. That's disrespectful.
@@sbarrow06 not to Simba himself
Isaac Carlson no rulers or monarchs are perfect and all governments has problems including monarchies. In my opinion a good or great king, emperor or monarchial ruler doesn't need to be perfect just a good man who cares about his people, has well intentions and is a father to his subjects and nation that is what good monarch is and a great monarch as well. Mufasa wasn't perfect nor did I think he ever claimed to be perfect but you can't make a perfect and expect your kingdom or any other monarchy to do amazing things by having him be perfect.
I can confirm that a monarchy or government can be trully imperfect and brought a lot of issues when nobody asked for that.
I have too many examples..
I say No! If Ahati & Mufasa hadn’t segregated the hyenas & payed more attention to Scar; none of the evils wouldn’t have happened
Banishing the hyenas just because they eat too much, i could understand, but why to a land where there is no food or water?
It's really odd..
@@YourFeelingsSucks It’s called Apartheid
@@kaiumeda6341 Mufasa bullshited Simba over the circle of life then, everyone contributed to it on their own way.
There were a lot of anti-hyenas narratives, turned out that it was them who ended the reign of Scar alltogether.
I think Mufasa should have a sit down with Scar and they are going to discuss all of their issues and come up with a way to reconcile.
It's hard to say considering most of the accuracy of lions in the wild. However I still appreciate Mufasa. I love his rememberable quote where he tells Simba that he only is brave when he has to be. Even stating that being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble.
Elephants are above the food chain they should be the kings being neutral
They are bigger, really smart, have an increased life-span.
I saw a group greeting a new baby, i learned that this isn't rare at all.
An elephant is usually majestuous, and can be friendly or threatening.
If Mufasa let the hyenas in the Pride Lands the whole kingdom would have been as it was with Scar, Mufasa dealt with the hyenas appropriately. But he failed with Scar. Don't forget Simba, technically banished Scar before the hyenas killed Scar. Now at this point if Scar hadn't blamed the hyenas, they could have ran to the outlands and formed an army along with those lionesses who were loyal to Scar. It would have been a better plot leading to the Lion King 2.
I don’t think so. The hyenas under Scar are animals that were trapped in a wasteland with no food for generations, and they’re suddenly released, and hungry. If they weren’t banished they’d be less of a problem.
The lion king would have gotten alot darker if scar was exiled considering if he gets the bigger army and has ziras group hell could be a better story if they did take over much earlier and maybe simba and nala with pumba and timone could seek the night pride and other hyena clans that didnt harm the circle of life but caught in crossfire of hatred between them and lions would have taught not one but two prides of lions that not all hyenas are bad
None of them knew that the Night Guard existed, till Kion needed to heal from the venom.
@@YourFeelingsSucks oh forgot that
@@Nicodemus-1004 i can't fault you as it was brought out of nowhere.
@@YourFeelingsSucks yeah
Or maybe the takeover of the outlanders could have been a result of no liongaurd formed by mufasa or any previous kings who thought they were adequate or because scar killed the previous members so mufasa disbanded them of fear of overpower
But that had great consequences
That could have been a great reason Simba now wanted a liongaurd formed to prevent the coalition of outsiders from happening again
@@Nicodemus-1004 i think Simba wasn't initially alright with a lion guard that have only one lion and different species.
Scar had a guard full of lions, but i think, none agreed to kill Mufasa with him.
Mohatu was the best king. He worked with every species, even crocodiles. Even mufasa admitted he was the greatest king
Question!? Could you make a video on why scar didn’t use his war to kill Mufasa even if he was weak he had the roar
Mufusa was quite a venerable king. I do think he was a little bit too lenient with Scar. In the Disney Villains comic starring Scar, the story is a little fleshed out with Rafiki trying to lead Scar on the right path and the hyenas dividing into two sects: The ones that respect the circle of life (probably ancestors of Jasiri) and the ones who indulge themselves. Simba is pretty conceited and arrogant compared to his father. If anything he went against what Mufasa worked to achieve. So far as I know Zira's pride were never a threat to the circle of life, only to Simba's throne. Simba talks about judgement a lot, but the way I see it, he has lost the right to judge anyone. He seems just as a much a tyrant as Scar ever was. I don't think Rafiki has told the whole story to Kion, otherwise Kion would have taken a different approach to the exiled lions. I'm sure of the lionesses in Simba's pride felt torn from their friends being sent away. Perhaps if Musafa had lived a full life and raised Simba for several years, he might have turned out a better king.
What if scar played the long passive game by not killing mufasa but intsead trying to undermine simbas eventually take over.
Would it be likely that mufasa would pass on his feelings nd views on scar to simba
Could you Do the complete Story of Boss Wolf Please?🐺
Why does Isaac change shirts so many times!?🤔😂
Can you please do a video on Elemental?
"The family is a small nation, and the nation a large family. By treating his family with dignity, a ruler learns how to govern with dignity his nation."
I think Mufasa is selfish. I don't know why his parents would give him the throne instead of Scar maybe because he is the first born. I get that he had Sarabi & Simba just because he wants a family but doing so makes Scar never get a chance to be king.
He's the firstborn, it's the tradition. Watch The Lion Guard, and maybe you can understand why Mufasa was the king.
Scar was that guy who stayed with his younger brother and never moved out.
Mufasa was his older brother. ^^
Other way around
I like the lion king and I can't wait mufasa the lion king 2024
Mufasa loved his Family
Was Mufasa a bad king? Why would you even ask that? Heck No! He was the best king Pride Rock could ever have!
I think Mufasa was a Good King and a Good Father to Simba
I have a love-hate relationship with Mufasa. He adored his son. And that shines through loud and clear 😁. However, he was so incredibly arrogant a lot of the time. I did not like the way he treated Zazu when used him for pouncing practice (although Rowan Atkinson, James Earl Jones, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas played it really well). Although, I admit, I kind of like that mischievous grin and that twinkle in his eye when he watched his son pounce 😁. I watched an interview with James Earl Jones, and he said that those facial expressions came from him 😁😁😁. Like I said, a love-hate relationship.
Disney's The Lion King Trilogy is On Disney +
I formed the guard but after Mufasa’s passing any Lion guard forming was banned
I can't agree that Mufasa is a bad king because can't get himself to banish or kill Scar. That's character.
I'm glad sing couple because I thought I am grown up watch Disney shows but now I'm going to keep watching them
Mufasa took things for granted
even great kings make mistakes
At first this guy reminded me of Biff from Back to the Future.
If Mufasa was a D&D character:
LV 10 King
STR: 18
DEX: 13
CON: 15
INT: 10
WIS: 11
CHA: 18
Disney's the lion king 30th anniversary
I wish we coumd have seen the perspective of the other animals. I doubt they would be happy when the lions were still in power even after scars reign
He wasn't perfect, but a good leader. But, I do think in the past, he might was a bad King, because he was a stubborn as young.
What if scar and Mufasa both shared the throne because if they shared Mufasa was not going to die
This reminds when Tywin Lannister told Tommen about the king who was loved and a good king but was killed by his brother
Ps the Lion King is my favorite movie 🦁❤️
is tales of the two lions canon? I've never heard of it so I don't know
Disny did their reasurch on Lions and hyenas and they are mortal enimes in nature and are forever rivials fighting for food its nature
Didn't lions just avoided the hyenas?
Doesn't matter, the lion king universe mimicks our world with how the monarchy works so it is racist to banish every single hyena
Christmas movies
The books are not cannon and were not even written by disney...
Mufassa loved family unconditionally. He was a good king.
He let his son be depressed alone for years and doesn't even tell Simba that he isn't responsible for his death when he decides to visit him as a ghost, tf you mean 💀
@@AlfieTrevor4444 he died to save Simba. If you believe in an after life then you ought to know that those there have rules they have to live by too. If everything were easy Simba couldn't have grown.
@@Dandeeman26 the lion kings afterlife will definitely be different to ours (I don't believe in an afterlife but the point is there) , and it doesn't matter if he had rules to live by up there, the Lion King universe hasn't made it clear what the rules are of the "afterlife" so no, Mufasa leaving Simba to be depressed and blame himself for Mufasa's death and Mufasa not telling him that it was actually Scar who killed him and NOT Simba, proves that he isn't only a bad king but also a bad father
@@AlfieTrevor4444 well glad to see you have such an enlightening theory that makes perfect since. Mufassa hated Simba enough to let him be depressed for years (lion years) anyway and blame himself for his father's death. So why is it Mufassa chose to run into a stampede ?? I mean there really wasn't any risk there......
I think the real bad Kings were Scar and Simba. Simba sentenced 3 innocent cubs to live under that psychopath Zira's thumb and Scar well we all know what he did.
I dont think Mufasa was a good king or person in general and here's why I think he is the worst Disney Character of all time and why I hate him
Reasons:
- He yells at his brother even tho he was to sad to go to the ceremony, going to a ceremony is a good thing, but if I was extreamly sad, I wouldn't go because I wouldn't want to ruin the happyness
- He laughs at a mean joke about his brother and takes no effort to defend him
- He lies to the other animals about turning into the grass when he dies
- He uses his own friends as punching dummies for his son
- He keeps the hyenas out of the Pride Lands no matter what forcing the hyenas to starve and dehydrate and the hyenas will defenently die to it
- He immediately yells at his own son without even asking him why he went to the Elephant Graveyard
- He feels no guilt about any of his actions
To be honest with you, i wouldn't go to a place where a birth happened.
It's supposed to be a moment of joy, but more for the parents themselves.
I kind of understand why Scar wasn't interested.
@Tacorikit yeah, I was getting the sence he was to sad to go but that statement workd to :)
@@alexb859 that may be rude, but i sometimes don't feel concerned about someone's else happiness, unless if it's a good new for the country.
I completely lose interest at celebrating births from formerly "closer" or random people..
If it's really important and could improve a country, i would change my mind.. maybe.
@@YourFeelingsSucks got it, sorry for being rude
@@alexb859 no you weren't rude, i was giving a warning that i may sounds rude by saying that i wouldn't care, nor take pride in that kind of subject.
Scar wasn't even a royal lion, so i don't think that Mufasa could say that he should have been here, while nothing forced him.
I didn’t see anything Infamouse about him!
I feel like some of the stuff in this video is copied from a previous one.
Well Mufasa was flawed but he’s definitely not as bad as Scar when he ruled, Mufasa’s heart was in the right place unlike Scar’s so that counts for something right?
