Am I the only one who was happy when Scar got to be King?


I've thought seeing Scar becoming the King would give him all the happiness, love, joy and admiration that he wanted, I also wish we've gotten to see Scar as a competent ruler as King so he can remain happy as he was when he'd first gotten to become a King.

You came to the wrong movie if you wanted that.

Scar really was "The Lying King."

Scar wanted to ignore that being king also had its responsibilities; respecting the whole "Circle of Life" shebang that Mufasa so lovingly emphasized to his cub, Simba.

Scar is the only character in this movie that I identify with, and is the only one I'd I'd like to hang out with.

Well if he was actually a GOOD King, then yes I'd be happy for him.

But the way he went on about it to get that crown is awful, so no.

reply

If he wanted all of that. He definitely 100% went about it the wrong way. Manipulating your nephew and killing your brother is no way to get what you want.

Besides, it takes a lot more than desire to be a leader. It takes responsibility, skills, compassion, strength, bravery, and many more. None of which Scar had.

To Scar it was more about the power and control he has towards the others, he was a very poor leader, plus him not allowing anyone to mention Mufasa shows what a power hungry tyrant Scar really is.
