Well yes, and that was the point of the scene.
Agreed, but his subjects singing and dancing along takes a different tone if you thing of him as a violent and petulant predator that could decide to kill any of them at any point. Beneath the smiles and harmonies, they are terrified of the boy-king and his betrothed sister-consort, who hold their lives in their pathetic little paws.
It doesn’t matter, he’ll never get past the monkeys.
Go to the options screen, enter BARRY, skip this level

But don’t worry, he eventually befriends a pair of losers, murders his uncle, impregnates his sister, and institutes apartheid once again!
i don’t rlly remember the lion king, but that sounds a lot like Star Wars. i don’t really remember star wars either.
both kinda remind me of hamlet. huh, weird.
Trust funder - no that’s horrible, hobos are gross, it’s much more rewarding to sign these songs to someone working two jobs to make ends meet.
I like how Americans think that humans don’t have kings anymore. Kings? Nah those are just for disney cartoons, like talking animals or China
It’s worse than that. It’s less a maturing trust, more a post-death inheritance. He is eagerly awaiting the day of his Father’s death - his patient, present and loving father - so that he can take his power.
I won’t pretend that I know about the intricacy of lion monarchies, but it could be possible his father would have given him the crown before dying.
That didn’t happen lmao
Well yes. That’s the whole point of the movie. Simba, instead of inheriting respect and power, has to earn the respect by overcoming difficulty and proving himself. As opposed to Scar who has gained power by underhanded tactics and fear.
So you have to have a scene where the protagonist looses what he thinks to be true only to come to the realisation that what they hold dearest is not materials or wealth but friendship and love. Jesus fucking Christ even as a child I understood this. It’s literally every single Disney movie apart from Fantasia. That shot is messed up.
You mean to tell me that the skilful diplomacy with hyenas and tenacity that underpinned Scar’s usurpation were less difficult and worthy of respect than ‘kid goes on a camping trip with some weirdos for a bit, comes back and is made king’?
Really, beyond the ‘divine right’, Scar showed many traits of being a much more able king.
Even his villain song was a banger.
I am looking at his character arc in a while new light now.
