Fun fact

Before the incident that gave him his scar, the name that Scar's parents gave him was Taka. Which means "Trash".

So yeah, dude maybe had a little right to be vindictive.

Tbf, they were spot-on with the OG name

Nominative determinism though.

Actually he was named Taka (meaning "waste" or "want" in Swahili) and took the name Scar later, because of his.. scar. Or Askari, the extended universe is contradictory on this.

Wait.. the lion king has an extended universe? :o

If nothing else there is like 10 years of cartoons across 2 series.

No it is two, how dare you forget about Lion King 1ยฝ

That isn't 2, that is one and a half.

Dig a tunnel, dig, dig a tunnel!

So if we add all the movies together we get 3(Lion King) 4 1/2?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

By my calculations 3 + 1ยฝ equals 1 lion king movie, but it could be biased by me watching it in the cinema as a teen?

That was a funny take. I want to rewatch it. Timon and Pumba were there from the beginning

It's got nothing on Babar the Elephants extended universe.

Being recognized for your cool scar is way better than going by 'Waste'.

Just good old nominative determinism
