Exactly. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. When I look in Aslan's face, I see life and a personality in them. When I see the eyes of these "live action" lions, all I see is lifeless soullessness.

As if Disney ever cared about logics and realism in they live action movies😅 But yes - this moment is pretty well known and it was really stupid to ignore it. Especially when the audience thought they were brothers all those years since Lion King came out. So, in my personal top of stupidest things in live action remakes this moment of making brothers not brothers holds solid second place right after the Black Queen ruling an Independent Caribbean-looking kingdom during the golden age of Slave trade, Racism and Colonialism from the Little Mermaid remake🤯
I get that you're going for realism, but lions don't talk in British accents and run an entire kingdom where all the animals gather for the birth of a new heir, either, so does realism really matter?
@ccowpoke I get your point too, but the thing is realism doesn't matter if you are not even make attempts to be realistic. Like the original Lion King, for example. So, the problem of Disney remakes is that they attempting realism and making it big part or marketing, but always fail. More of that, they are failing spectacularly! And when people are trying to tell them how noticeably they failed, they are screaming the fans are toxic... 😮💨
Wait they're not actual brothers? Then how was Scar next in line to be king until Simba was born? Calls Simba his nephew and everything. That just seems completely stupid.
Or the fact in the original movie scar talks about how he got the Brains and mufasa the brawns of the gene pool. As in their shared gene pool because they were brothers.
Okay, whatever. From what I remember, in the “LA” TLK, they changed the line I think? So with that, they seemed to have planned something. Adopted brother can still call his ‘brother’s’ son, nephew. Why does it really matter so much?
@ScourgeIsBestVillain because it changes the whole dynamic of the characters. I never watched the live action lion king (because why?) so maybe they did change things because that's how desperate they are to try and make more of a story when there wasn't one or need for one.

No wait OMG you're right. Even in the remake Scar says something along those same lines. I do sometimes understand why a huge change happens. Like in HP movie 3. Snape is there to save the kids from Lupin. He didn't do that in the book. It helps establish him better as a morally grey character. But this is just a retcon that causes problems.
@@cinderfeatheryeah, in the books, Snape did everything to out Lupin as a werewolf and used Harry and his friends as bait to try to get revenge on Sirius.
Wait, Scar and Mufasa aren’t actual brothers?! Well, this just f*cks with just about everything. Brother lions stick together, not lions of different blood…which unlike many brothers who remain close and defend each other, always choose to kill each other instead. It’s why Scar did not want to be judged and felt shame, for being a kin-slayer l, not a king-slayer. It’s why he killed Mufasa in secrecy, tricked Simba and ran him off. And the mention of killing his brother is the only time he showed vulnerability. So this change just f*cks with everything special about the first movie. Disney hates family and brotherhood, that’s why. Ya couldn’t just leave them as normal brothers, could ya, Disney?
It feels like the powers that be have forgotten what a story even is. It's not a chronicling of events that happened. It's a chronicling of CHOICES being MADE by the storyteller that ultimately led to triumph or despair. A story that needs to be told to help the teller and audience make better CHOICES in the future. Imagine a different version told by spirit Mufasa to Simba about why he regretted the choices he made that led Scar down his path, and how Mufasa needed to tell Simba because he was going down the same path. Forget memberberries, they could have told a story that makes you think about how you treat those closest to you.
Even if I get paid, I'm walking away with the money and not watching this tripe. Don't even want to pollute my mind with this garbage. It will ruin my fond memories of the OG animated Lion King movie
The fact that Mufasa has leadership skills specifically because he was with the female lions is that subtle dig that pushes they agenda that men are bad. It's this agenda that is killing the mov8e industry. It can be a good story without the subtle jabs and yes, less filler and more of a beefy plot. Also, scar not being a blood relative kinda takes away from the "hamlet narrative" of the original story.
The visuals are so boring looking. Sure, it looks 'photorealistic' but the vivid and beautiful array of colours from the animated films are so much more striking and magical to watch.
Mufasa is not the reason why Lin did not return for Moana 2. Moana 2 was originally conceived as a TV series, and Disney did not intend for him to write the songs for the show, but they consulted with him after the series was decided to be made into a movie. According to Lin on an interview, he has been working on Mufasa since after Encanto so the two projects barely or maybe did not even coincide
Lion king 2 exists and is already cool, amazing soundtrack I would dare say , he lives in you is better then circle of life and so is ,we are one better then can't wait to be King
Just to post: For those of you who don't know, there is a prequel story on the past of Mufasa and Scar. They both are blood brothers who were very close to each other growing up, but that changed when their father told them both that Mufasa would be the next king due to his personality and qualifications. This really hit a nerve with Taka (Scar's real name), and he was secretly jealous of Mufasa from that day forward. Taka cooked up a scheme to be next in line as king to discredit Mufasa (and even potentially kill him), involving a mad rhinoceros laying waste to the Pride Lands. This backfired tremendously and resulted in Taka nearly being killed by the rhino, only for Mufasa to save him, solidifying Mufasa as the next king. This only made Taka even more bitter, and he changed his name to Scar after his near-death experience put the scar on his eye.
@@ScourgeIsBestVillain And yet they made them adoptive brothers, therefore completely destroying the very nature of Scar's jealousy and why he was suppose to be picked for the throne, but was quickly pushed to the side when simba arrived Not only them being siblings gives me the impression that they're YET AGAIN trying to justify a villains original actions, but the whole point of Scar's beef with Mufasa comes from them being blood brothers and why this choice of being king meant so much to Scar, its a family hiarchy thing - them being non brothers makes that hiarchy completely meaningless because there's no such thing as making a non blood relative next in line to be a king/queen
I could care less about either of those characters. And I highly doubt that would do better than a prequel starring Wolverine and Captain America in their World War 2 adventures
That should’ve been what the Black Widow movie was about, but alas it was instead about some guy who hates girls I guess and uses perfume to control them.
Yess I was literally thinking about it yesterday, when I came across a short of the... last scene those two have together (trying not to be spoilerish). I mean it's not like it didn't have any impact, but it would have had MORE impact if we'd gotten Budapest or the like to delve into their friendship beforehand. Every single avenger had gotten their own movie at that point except them.
Wicked shouldn't be your example dude. Maleficent is the better example. They made her too sympathetic there. But with Wicked it actually makes sense how things go down the way they do. Not to mention it's kinda like fanfic so not REALLY canon to the Wizard of Oz anyways.
Literally none of what I'm about to say is aimed as slander towards Jeremey (who is a breath of fresh air these days). I'm just trying to make sure I heard him right. He said Mufasa is daredevil like in terms of ability...bc he was raised entirely by females? Bc for whatever reason he was deemed unworthy to be raised among the males...so let me just make sure I'm getting this straight for a second... Not only did this movie completely retcon our 2 leads no longer being actual brothers...but now they also completely stripped our main protagonist of ALL of his own agency for his successes &/or failures, so that we can frame this as him owing 100% of his personal ability to women. All so that when the hero eventually overcomes the villain, the 1% of the audience this is meant to cater to, can wave their banners framing this as another victory against "the patriarchy". (Again bc the female empowered character triumphs over the male empowered character). God the messaging in everything on the west right now is genuinely exhausting.
7:43 A prequel showing Avatar Kiyoshi's journey would be awesome. That, and Morpheus' story where things look hopeless until he finds the Chosen One Kean- I mean Neo, probably 😂

Honestly, I'd love to see a prequel to Superman that just follows a key event or two in Krypton's history. It doesn't even have to follow Clark's biological father, it could just follow a Kryptonian soldier and it'd be cool
The events leading up the Battle of Serenity Valley from Firefly. IF Joss Whedon writes it. The crew do NOT have to cameo or hell Maybe a cameo to tell the events like narration but the war between the Alliance and Browncoats would be a prequel to see.
Tbh, I fast forward it to the end to see what the review would be and I'm not surprised. Now to assist with Jeremy's numbers, I will just put the video on repeat in the background while I do something else
Please just tell me Scar gets his name when he runs into some random guy behind a desk who hears his story and goes...."Well you're just a Solo Cat Attempting Regicide...you're a Scar," and then that guy types that into a computer and that's that
Jeremy, from the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate your unbiased movie reviews, I appreciate that you tell it how you see it, and even tho we don't always agree, I have watched your reviews long enough that I have an appreciation for how our personal taste may differ, so I can always get a good sense on whether or not I am going to like a movie by watching your videos. Not to speak ill of a friend, but stuckmen was right up there along side you for me, as my go too sources of truth, but after he started going on his own film making journey and decided that he was no longer post negative movie reviews, it kind of took him out of my roaster of film reviewers. I get why he made the decision, no hate, just makes me appreciate still having someone like yourself whos willing to tell the good the bad and the ugly. I always tell people its not about finding a film reviewer you agree with 100% of the time, its about sticking with one long enough to understand their preferences and how they differ from your own, then you can factor that in when you watch their reviews, to help you work out if the film is worth going out to see. This only works if the film reviewer is honest, because their opinions will remain more or less consistent, even tho they may change gradually overtime. But when a film reviewer's opinion is artificially swayed, their opinions become internally inconsistent, making it hard to gleem any real insight about the film. Its like playing Chinese wispers, and the person in the middle is intentionally trying to mess up the phrase. there is no way the person on the end is going to get a decent understanding.of what was originally said TL/DR: Jeremy is awesome, keep up the honest film reviews, you are appreciated.
Hopefully see your Sonic 3 review soon. Really looking forward to that one!!! This film will probably makes it's money back even if it sucks, cause it's Disney lol. I wish they never made live action. The original lion king was peak.. Regardless I believe audiences will enjoy Sonic 3 more.
2:12 Disney wanted to see if they could squeeze another billion dollars out of us but it’s not gonna be close to reaching that so hopefully they just stop.
The mainstream critics don’t realize that Jeremy can stop us from learning something we already knew. We appreciate his honesty and, frankly, commiseration.
I always wanted a standalone “prequel” to tombstone that told the story of Doc and stared Val Kilmer. Can never happen but that will forever be my what if movie.
Making them adoptive bro's and not by blood is just about the dumbest mistake they could ever do for the IP The whole point of Scar is he's a jealous and whiny brother that believes he is chosen but then was sidelined by the sudden birth of his nephew, AND he was willing to kill him if it means he can keep his throne - take that away from him and you automatically try to JUSTIFY his petty and drastic actions of what happened How would that even work in a royalty like environment? You're suppose to be blood related to be given the crown, adoptive siblings mean jack shit because since they're not blood related, so they're not worthy of being that high of the family hiarchy when it comes to royalty Why is disney so obsessed with making their IP's change such crucial elements of their own stories that it virtually makes NO sense whatsover if its suppose to be taking inspiration from the classics?
Couple weeks, I was over to my parents house, and my father, being older, wanted to know if he could rent movies through his tv. We ended up renting the og lion king and watching it together, the movie being a favorite from my childhood that my father and I bonded over it back in the day. We once again found ourselves laughing together, doing the silly voices and noices, humming the dongs and saying the lines along with the characters. He had only seen the live action version once and had disregarded it as trash. When I told him that they were continuing THAT version with this movie, he legitimately slapped his forehead, lol.
I, and I assume many others, still believe it should have been the Han Solo trilogy. One movie for each era in his life: childhood into early adulthood, joining the stormtroopers, and becoming a smuggler.
Imagine how big of a win this would’ve been for Disney if it was a 2D prequel to the original. It would be a massive pr and financial win regardless of the movies quality because everyone would go see it.

You honestly give the most honest reviews. You leave out all those buzz words and BS from other movie reviewers we see. Plus, you try to review from the audience in which the movie was made for.
let's face it, the original lion king from 1994 is more than enough for generations to come, it's iconic and timeless. I am fed up with Hollywood making movies they think are needed, the whole "this is how the characters met" trope bs. no one really cares about that stuf. it should really be left up to the audience to innocently guess and make up themselves.
I used work with him, Jeremy, Jeremy Martin looks indentical in the face only way wider body. He worked in the hospital system in the financial dep (thats how we met) and wasn't nice one like this guy, but def looks the same in the face. I'd cast this one over the other anyday.
The idea that Mufasa wasn’t a born king and scar isn’t his real brother undermines the entire point of the first movie. Unless I misunderstood the description.
I always thought it was Mufasa whom gave Scar his scar 😅, then second option was Scar was being attacked by another lion and Mufasa rescued him. Which makes his betrayal worse!
This review confirms to me that "Mufasa: The Lion King" is what old school Disney part 2 and 3 straight to DVD movies were: Take up as much time as possible with the secondary and third rate support characters (usually comic relief to make the kids laugh easily) while mom works on things in the house and/or takes a nap.
The thing about Lin Manuel is that he had his huge hit, then everybody wanted him. And since that he had some other big hits and big misses. But nobody wants to tell him about the misses because he's Lin Manuel. Which brings the whole thing down.
I think a jurassic park prequel would be interesting. Starting from the inception of the park. The research on creating extinct dinosaurs, the successes and failures in doing so. The problems that would arise in containing these creatures. (The beginning of JP1 w/ the raptor attack) Throw in some believable paleontology. I think that could revitalize the property.
Honestly i like watching jeremy’s reviews cuz i go into the movie with low expectations and usually i come out thinking. It was better than expected i think i kinda actually like it

Disney hates family and brotherhood, that’s why. Ya couldn’t just leave them as normal brothers, could ya, Disney?
"Mufusa is better because he was raised by female lions. Scar was raised by the males, so he's evil"
For fuck sake Disney.
The quest to emasculate males in media continues
I laughed at that part 😂
In the absence of actual writing, Hollywood just writes backstories and origin stories, answering questions nobody had.
Jeremy didn't even care enough about this movie to call it a review 😭
“Yea now it’s a party” 😂🤪
It feels like the powers that be have forgotten what a story even is. It's not a chronicling of events that happened. It's a chronicling of CHOICES being MADE by the storyteller that ultimately led to triumph or despair. A story that needs to be told to help the teller and audience make better CHOICES in the future.
Imagine a different version told by spirit Mufasa to Simba about why he regretted the choices he made that led Scar down his path, and how Mufasa needed to tell Simba because he was going down the same path. Forget memberberries, they could have told a story that makes you think about how you treat those closest to you.
You'd have to pay me to watch this
Jahns is a saint for taking the IP missile
Isn't he getting paid?
Even if I get paid, I'm walking away with the money and not watching this tripe.
Don't even want to pollute my mind with this garbage.
It will ruin my fond memories of the OG animated Lion King movie
I love how Jeremy’s facial expressions on the thumbnails just says it all
Can't wait for sonic to blow this out of the water
2020 - Birds of Prey
2022 - Morbius
2024 - Mufasa
Facts
Last a sonic movie came out covid 19 happened
Same
@draxcir did you forget the sequel??
The fact that Mufasa has leadership skills specifically because he was with the female lions is that subtle dig that pushes they agenda that men are bad. It's this agenda that is killing the mov8e industry. It can be a good story without the subtle jabs and yes, less filler and more of a beefy plot. Also, scar not being a blood relative kinda takes away from the "hamlet narrative" of the original story.
Hollywood is a money laundering service now
I didn't know this movie existed until I saw this video 😂
That’s fair lol.
That’s saying a lot.
Same
And apparently this movie was ment to compete against Sonic 3.
Right? I feel like the marketing for this movie was shit.
The visuals are so boring looking. Sure, it looks 'photorealistic' but the vivid and beautiful array of colours from the animated films are so much more striking and magical to watch.
Mufasa is not the reason why Lin did not return for Moana 2. Moana 2 was originally conceived as a TV series, and Disney did not intend for him to write the songs for the show, but they consulted with him after the series was decided to be made into a movie. According to Lin on an interview, he has been working on Mufasa since after Encanto so the two projects barely or maybe did not even coincide
Sonic 3 Sweep
Lion king 2 exists and is already cool, amazing soundtrack
I would dare say , he lives in you is better then circle of life and so is ,we are one better then can't wait to be King
no
@kristinrutherford8779 better than this movie. Every sequel from the early 2000s is better than Disney's live action remakes
And it creates less plotholes than this movie.
@@straightuphating1013 come on, the sequels were good, but not that good lol.
Music is only area where Lion King 2 surpassed the original
Dwarves- cartoon abominations
Lions- realistic abominations.
Time for sonic to teach Disney a lesson
I still can't believe that Barry Jenkins actually signed on to direct this movie 😢
Legit he needed to pay for his wedding true story.
I wished the movie was called 'Scar' instead. Would've sold more tickets I think.
Just to post:
For those of you who don't know, there is a prequel story on the past of Mufasa and Scar. They both are blood brothers who were very close to each other growing up, but that changed when their father told them both that Mufasa would be the next king due to his personality and qualifications. This really hit a nerve with Taka (Scar's real name), and he was secretly jealous of Mufasa from that day forward.
Taka cooked up a scheme to be next in line as king to discredit Mufasa (and even potentially kill him), involving a mad rhinoceros laying waste to the Pride Lands. This backfired tremendously and resulted in Taka nearly being killed by the rhino, only for Mufasa to save him, solidifying Mufasa as the next king. This only made Taka even more bitter, and he changed his name to Scar after his near-death experience put the scar on his eye.
Taka was never Scar's real name,that was always non canon bs from the books
But Taka IS his original name… But okay, go off king.
Way better writing than this 🗑
@@ScourgeIsBestVillain And yet they made them adoptive brothers, therefore completely destroying the very nature of Scar's jealousy and why he was suppose to be picked for the throne, but was quickly pushed to the side when simba arrived
Not only them being siblings gives me the impression that they're YET AGAIN trying to justify a villains original actions, but the whole point of Scar's beef with Mufasa comes from them being blood brothers and why this choice of being king meant so much to Scar, its a family hiarchy thing - them being non brothers makes that hiarchy completely meaningless because there's no such thing as making a non blood relative next in line to be a king/queen
I feel like the one prequel fans would go for is “Hawkeye and Black Widow: Budapest” but that’s one that we’ll probably never get 😞
No
I could care less about either of those characters. And I highly doubt that would do better than a prequel starring Wolverine and Captain America in their World War 2 adventures
That should’ve been what the Black Widow movie was about, but alas it was instead about some guy who hates girls I guess and uses perfume to control them.
Yess I was literally thinking about it yesterday, when I came across a short of the... last scene those two have together (trying not to be spoilerish). I mean it's not like it didn't have any impact, but it would have had MORE impact if we'd gotten Budapest or the like to delve into their friendship beforehand. Every single avenger had gotten their own movie at that point except them.
Bo Nix for roty🧡💙
I’m getting tired of these “villian that isn’t really a villan” prequel knockoffs
Talking about you Wicked
Wicked was Good so I don't what your complaining about 🙄
Speak for yourself, I want a Gaston movie where we see him grow from eating 4 dozen eggs to 5 dozen eggs.
Wicked shouldn't be your example dude. Maleficent is the better example. They made her too sympathetic there.
But with Wicked it actually makes sense how things go down the way they do. Not to mention it's kinda like fanfic so not REALLY canon to the Wizard of Oz anyways.
Not gonna lie, I want to see a Gaston/Lefeu war film where people think he’s misunderstood but, no, he’s an awesome azz
Wicked is decades old and arguably sparked this trend to some extent
I'll be saving my money for Sonic 3 and Nosferatu, thank you. 😊

Literally none of what I'm about to say is aimed as slander towards Jeremey (who is a breath of fresh air these days). I'm just trying to make sure I heard him right. He said Mufasa is daredevil like in terms of ability...bc he was raised entirely by females? Bc for whatever reason he was deemed unworthy to be raised among the males...so let me just make sure I'm getting this straight for a second...
Not only did this movie completely retcon our 2 leads no longer being actual brothers...but now they also completely stripped our main protagonist of ALL of his own agency for his successes &/or failures, so that we can frame this as him owing 100% of his personal ability to women. All so that when the hero eventually overcomes the villain, the 1% of the audience this is meant to cater to, can wave their banners framing this as another victory against "the patriarchy". (Again bc the female empowered character triumphs over the male empowered character).
God the messaging in everything on the west right now is genuinely exhausting.

There was no reason mufasa needed a backstory as everyone knows how it will play out in the lion king.
Disney really should make something original. I'm tired of these
I wish Disney didn’t cancel Gigantic.
I agree
Well, then stop paying to see them. We vote with our wallets. Remember that.
This movie is original… there’s never been a Mufasa movie

"What really was the point of this?" To fill a release slot for Disney in the month of December.
Honestly, I'd love to see a prequel to Superman that just follows a key event or two in Krypton's history. It doesn't even have to follow Clark's biological father, it could just follow a Kryptonian soldier and it'd be cool
The events leading up the Battle of Serenity Valley from Firefly. IF Joss Whedon writes it.
The crew do NOT have to cameo or hell Maybe a cameo to tell the events like narration but the war between the Alliance and Browncoats would be a prequel to see.
Was it better then Kraven tho?
i mean kraven would be more fun
That ain’t a high bar.
@@pk251okay now we are taking it too far 😭
Everyone is Kravin' the Kraven. If anyone says they're Kravin' Mufasa more than Kraven then they are simply lion to themselves.
No question. They at least tried to improve on the original remake.
Review starts here 1:07

UA-cam premium
They should give us a John Wick prequel. We could finally see the iconic pencil scene
Tbh, I fast forward it to the end to see what the review would be and I'm not surprised. Now to assist with Jeremy's numbers, I will just put the video on repeat in the background while I do something else
real one!
Please just tell me Scar gets his name when he runs into some random guy behind a desk who hears his story and goes...."Well you're just a Solo Cat Attempting Regicide...you're a Scar," and then that guy types that into a computer and that's that
Jeremy, from the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate your unbiased movie reviews, I appreciate that you tell it how you see it, and even tho we don't always agree, I have watched your reviews long enough that I have an appreciation for how our personal taste may differ, so I can always get a good sense on whether or not I am going to like a movie by watching your videos.
Not to speak ill of a friend, but stuckmen was right up there along side you for me, as my go too sources of truth, but after he started going on his own film making journey and decided that he was no longer post negative movie reviews, it kind of took him out of my roaster of film reviewers. I get why he made the decision, no hate, just makes me appreciate still having someone like yourself whos willing to tell the good the bad and the ugly.
I always tell people its not about finding a film reviewer you agree with 100% of the time, its about sticking with one long enough to understand their preferences and how they differ from your own, then you can factor that in when you watch their reviews, to help you work out if the film is worth going out to see.
This only works if the film reviewer is honest, because their opinions will remain more or less consistent, even tho they may change gradually overtime. But when a film reviewer's opinion is artificially swayed, their opinions become internally inconsistent, making it hard to gleem any real insight about the film.
Its like playing Chinese wispers, and the person in the middle is intentionally trying to mess up the phrase. there is no way the person on the end is going to get a decent understanding.of what was originally said
TL/DR: Jeremy is awesome, keep up the honest film reviews, you are appreciated.
Hopefully see your Sonic 3 review soon. Really looking forward to that one!!!
This film will probably makes it's money back even if it sucks, cause it's Disney lol. I wish they never made live action. The original lion king was peak..
Regardless I believe audiences will enjoy Sonic 3 more.
2:12 Disney wanted to see if they could squeeze another billion dollars out of us but it’s not gonna be close to reaching that so hopefully they just stop.
The fact a speedrun moana 2 is making moola when no one asked or cared at the time is doing well, it just may come close
5:05 Amen to that
The mainstream critics don’t realize that Jeremy can stop us from learning something we already knew. We appreciate his honesty and, frankly, commiseration.
At 1:45 i understood why I'd not even heard about this movie
I always wanted a standalone “prequel” to tombstone that told the story of Doc and stared Val Kilmer. Can never happen but that will forever be my what if movie.
Who else is skipping this one and watching Sonic 3 instead?
Who else knows that people like this are just fishing for clicks?
Hells yeah. I'm going to watch Sonic 3 in the theater which is something I rarely do anymore.
Me!
It’s Amazing they were able to get actual animals to act all of this out! Truly incredible!
Guess it wasn't able to *ROAR* past expectations...
Now if this included a montage outta Roar with the animals attacking the crew would be interesting
I get it 😂
Disney had to much pride when making this him.
A prequel series of Bullet Train with each episode being all the events we get a glimpse of in Bullet Train.
Or a movie about Tangerine and Lemon
@everythingisawesome2903 I'd even be down for a great game adaptation.
Bro can't even call it a review
Exactly
I forgot this was a movie.
Yeah because the movie isn't worth seeing
1/4 of the video was an ad. 😅
@@tster Nah it was about 1/8
The problem with Disney is that I never understand who they make movies for. Why would anyone want to watch a 2hr cutscene cinematic anyway
I want to know how Mary Poppins got her umbrella
I want to know the exact place and time when Robin Hood robbed his hood.
Making them adoptive bro's and not by blood is just about the dumbest mistake they could ever do for the IP
The whole point of Scar is he's a jealous and whiny brother that believes he is chosen but then was sidelined by the sudden birth of his nephew, AND he was willing to kill him if it means he can keep his throne - take that away from him and you automatically try to JUSTIFY his petty and drastic actions of what happened
How would that even work in a royalty like environment? You're suppose to be blood related to be given the crown, adoptive siblings mean jack shit because since they're not blood related, so they're not worthy of being that high of the family hiarchy when it comes to royalty
Why is disney so obsessed with making their IP's change such crucial elements of their own stories that it virtually makes NO sense whatsover if its suppose to be taking inspiration from the classics?
Jeremy reviewing movies to me is like that meme where it says “if nobody got me Jeremy got me” and it’s that dude pointing😭
Couple weeks, I was over to my parents house, and my father, being older, wanted to know if he could rent movies through his tv. We ended up renting the og lion king and watching it together, the movie being a favorite from my childhood that my father and I bonded over it back in the day. We once again found ourselves laughing together, doing the silly voices and noices, humming the dongs and saying the lines along with the characters. He had only seen the live action version once and had disregarded it as trash. When I told him that they were continuing THAT version with this movie, he legitimately slapped his forehead, lol.
Showing how Scar got his name is the same as revealing How Han got his surname in Solo.
Ew they actually did that?🙄
@@00ammy00 (sigh) The Han Solo movie did exactly that.
@@00ammy00 yes, because he is alone, sooo...Solo
lemme guess, he got a scar?
I, and I assume many others, still believe it should have been the Han Solo trilogy. One movie for each era in his life: childhood into early adulthood, joining the stormtroopers, and becoming a smuggler.
Imagine how big of a win this would’ve been for Disney if it was a 2D prequel to the original. It would be a massive pr and financial win regardless of the movies quality because everyone would go see it.
Wouldn't say the quality of the film couldn't massively tank it
Does it even matter who actually directs these Disney movies? 🤷🤷🤷. They have no identity whatsoever
Exactly, there's no crossover appeal. The people who loved Moonlight aren't going to want to watch a fucking Lion King prequel. They don't give af.
It matters so Disney can have someone to blame if it doesn't do well.

You honestly give the most honest reviews. You leave out all those buzz words and BS from other movie reviewers we see. Plus, you try to review from the audience in which the movie was made for.
Jeremy where is your review of Puss in boots 2? Where is it?!
let's face it, the original lion king from 1994 is more than enough for generations to come, it's iconic and timeless. I am fed up with Hollywood making movies they think are needed, the whole "this is how the characters met" trope bs. no one really cares about that stuf. it should really be left up to the audience to innocently guess and make up themselves.
Thanks. Had a feeling it's a dud. Will avoid 😅
Jeremy is turning into UA-cam's Keanu Reeves
Jahns wick?
I used work with him, Jeremy, Jeremy Martin looks indentical in the face only way wider body. He worked in the hospital system in the financial dep (thats how we met) and wasn't nice one like this guy, but def looks the same in the face. I'd cast this one over the other anyday.
The idea that Mufasa wasn’t a born king and scar isn’t his real brother undermines the entire point of the first movie.
Unless I misunderstood the description.
I always thought it was Mufasa whom gave Scar his scar 😅, then second option was Scar was being attacked by another lion and Mufasa rescued him. Which makes his betrayal worse!
Lion King 7 is when it get really good
And all the spin offs
This review confirms to me that "Mufasa: The Lion King" is what old school Disney part 2 and 3 straight to DVD movies were: Take up as much time as possible with the secondary and third rate support characters (usually comic relief to make the kids laugh easily) while mom works on things in the house and/or takes a nap.
The thing about Lin Manuel is that he had his huge hit, then everybody wanted him. And since that he had some other big hits and big misses. But nobody wants to tell him about the misses because he's Lin Manuel. Which brings the whole thing down.
I think a jurassic park prequel would be interesting. Starting from the inception of the park. The research on creating extinct dinosaurs, the successes and failures in doing so. The problems that would arise in containing these creatures. (The beginning of JP1 w/ the raptor attack) Throw in some believable paleontology. I think that could revitalize the property.
You should review the 2006 anime Death Note. And it's not that long either. 37 episodes , 22 or 25 minutes each
