(Yes. I know I have a dark sense of humor)

Meanwhile Simba has a perfectly good mother.

She's single, you know...

[–] taiyang 4 points 16 hours ago

That looks like the headshot she used to get the part to play Simba's mom.

Honestly, maybe not the easiest concept for Disney to pull off when more than a hundred of their films (a little over half) have a main character with one or both parents dead or missing. Even with just the ones on the box, Ariel's mom is dead, Max's mom is dead, Tiana's dad dies off-camera during the movie, and we all know what happens to Mufasa.

Wait what happens to mufasa? He lives to the end right? He's a strong father figure for Simba right?

[–] taiyang 16 points 16 hours ago

It's ok, Simba gets two gay dad's and everything works out fine. Hakuna Matata!

He went to the store to get milk. He’ll be back any day now.

It's better than Beat the Kids. The government frowns down on that.

Can we at least all agree that the best game in this franchise is Beat the Meat?

I watched that movie when I was 9 and feel out of the loop. Was there a Jerry Springer moment I totally whooshed?

[–] Jomega 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

!Mufasa dies at around the midway point!<

[–] _bcron 6 points 20 hours ago

True but it's not canon and all in good fun like Super Smash. I think Ariel is funnier because she has all sorts of reasons to want to kill her dickhole of a dad

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

I sings about wanting to be king and then his dad dies?

He didn’t do it though so, I’m also a little lost. Unless they are talking about real life lion pride dynamics again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Hard to beat the parents if they’re fucking dead

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat 3 points 16 hours ago

Or super easy

"Long live the king."
