Yeah, the false and evil king who gaslights his subjects on the necessity of his tyranny. Scar was the rightful and honest ruler.

Killed Mufasa!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah Scar's rightful and honest rule was so great lmao

[–] PapaStevesy 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was just dealing with the fallout from Mufasa's disastrous ecological and economic policies...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I think his late reign was characterized more by inaction than action

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

The people are simply tired of Mufasa's musical monarchism.

Yes, the jackals march in unison while fire shoots ominously into the sky but,

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But Scar had musical monarchy too, he was just an usurper, not really a revolutionary

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Indeed. No social commentary to be found there!

Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didnt Scar make the kingdom worse?

[–] TrueStoryBob 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He reined over a period of drought, but there's no way he could have controlled the weather. That's like blaming the government for there being car accidents. Simba exploited the working and noble classes into thinking that Scar was to blame for natural cycles. Thus he was able to lead a rebellion against their best interests and restored his line to the monarchy. Upper nobles playing everyone else against each other but, at the end of the day, the monarchical status quo was maintained. Feudalism in action.

Lion king did not explicitly say Scar did not have a weather machine so i choose to believe scar has a weather machine.

[–] FooBarrington 8 points 1 day ago

If I had to choose between a king without scars, and one with them, I'd always go with the latter. Scarless bitch probably had everything handed to them, never even fought a real fight.

My dude skipped too many leg days

[–] NikkiDimes 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Hah! I think we're only seeing one leg from a profile angle though. The seam down the side of the jeans gives the appearance of two twig legs. If the artist had added a sliver of rear leg, it'd probably read better, e.g.:

He did, but it's too dark to notice unless you look a bit hard at the image.

[–] NikkiDimes 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Oh damn, you're right, I didn't see that! It blends in almost entirely on my monitor. I can see it more now that I'm on my phone.

...Perhaps an excuse to finally buy an OLED monitor...?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

I definitely interpreted the seam as two legs but your version has some extra oumph

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Aren't you afraid of Salvatore Ganacci?

[–] Jubei_K_08 2 points 23 hours ago

The lion got cocky and dropped its guard long enough to allow that kinda full-send cross.

[–] hOrni 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you use some artistic liberty on those guns?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

and he obviously skips leg day

[–] TempermentalAnomaly 1 points 1 day ago

Like a high school freshman party, that's a weak punch.

[–] ScruffyDucky 4 points 1 day ago

KAPOW Mr. Kitty

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Next minute, the lion grabs his arm, tears it from the shoulder and proceeds to crush his skull in its jaws.

The lion lies down after its light snack.

Soooo... your solution to your kid's fears is animal abuse?
