all I'm taking from this is fear and hatred of your past can ruin who you are now.
That is NOT Simba’s fault, it’s Scar’s fault.
@@YellowBear-kx1ff I know but that is all I am taking from it that's the message I took from the video.
I think that is a fantastic takeaway. Of course Scar caused so much pain in Simba's life, but since Simba didn't deal with that trauma, the lessons Mufasa taught him began to deteriorate and the Pride Lands suffered because of it.
@@IsaacCarlson Can you make a video about what happen to Reds father and mother in Angry Birds Movie
Hi Issac have you seen the teaser for Turning Red?
His problem was the exact opposite of his father's. Mufasa didn't live a life of hardship or tragedy, so he was unable to see the darkness festering in the Pride Lands. In the Lion King 2, Simba can only see darkness because of what he went through. It's a good lesson on having a balance. You can't blindly look at the world and think everything is wonderful all the time, but you also can't live your life fearing the worst.
You can _learn_ from the past, but you CANNOT *live* in it. Is that what you're saying?
@@Elysia63 I try to live in my own past I can try to get help but I don’t know from where

@@sharoncantu8180 Seen my comment?
@@loturzelrestaurant What are you talking about?
Hey lion
I think that when Scar was King, Zira was his Queen, hence why in the Lion Guard Zira said to Kion “Scar and I were very close.”
I don’t think that’s true because in the lion king scar said that sarabi should be his queen but she refused but he kept trying so that can’t be true
@@lifewithmylife8225 Maybe he and Zira split before or their relationship was a secret. Also, lions usually go with all the lionesses in their prides.
@@JoeMama-kj7bq I feel bad for Simba
@@jesus7224 so do I
@@JoeMama-kj7bq doesn’t that mean that nala……..
For Simba's sake, I understand what he felt and what he have to go through. Also it's not just Kiara along with her younger brother Kion, they did the most Impossible thing. That's was something Simba wasn't able to do. To let go of the hate, forgive, and most of all move forward.
And Kopa and Chaka are lost
@@jesus7224 there not canon
They're like their mom😊
Can you blame Simba? Scar was a monster, manipulated simba, gaslight simba, lied to simba, framed Simba, pretend he loved Simba, trying to killed Simba worse of all killed his father.
Years laters even with Scar died his followers take the hate for him on Simba. Not mention He was responsible for scarring his son Kion.
Who would want to be related to Scar? I sure I wouldn’t.
And he was Simba’s UNCLE, his own flesh and blood, so if someone like that turned out to be the villain, anyone could!
Scar truly was a monster, is the villain who carried out the worst unforgivable actions in all of Disney, I think.. and Simba did what he did because he was very hurt by that; and in The lion guard, it hurt me and terrified the extremes with which Scar chased him and his family, I imagine that it hurt him to see what Scar had now done to his son Kion, and how he even almost killed him again, when he sent the scorpion and set fire to the King's rock again..
i like how disney covered PTSD without directly saying it. its important to acknologe these issues
Think we can agree everyone loves your lion king vids the most!!!!
💯
I Agree Strongly
Do you ever think that, even though Simba knows it was Scar who had truly killed Mufasa by pushing him off the cliff, he still believes that his roar that echoed through the gorge that day was the real cause of the stampede? That to this day Simba may still not know that it was actually the hyenas that caused the stampede and thus Simba continues to feel some measure of responsibility and guilt towards his father's death?
I'm so glad at how thoroughly you fleshed out Simba's trauma and I wholeheartedly agree with you. I definitely understood and sympathized with Simba's actions and his decision to banish the outsiders. I never understood why people thought Simba's overprotectiveness towards Kiara in TLK2 was out of character. Of course he would be overprotective of his family after all the trauma he was forced to endure and all the hardships he was forced to face throughout his life. I completely empathized with Simba and some of his lines still hit me hard to this day. "You said you'd always be there for me! But you're not...and it's because of me. It's my fault. It's my fault..."
I think another thing that adds to Simba's overall thoughts/behavior and how his trauma still affected him was during one of the opening scenes in TLK2 when Simba mentioned how he didn't want Kiara to get into trouble the way him and Nala did when they were kids, which makes Nala respond with "You mean all the trouble YOU got us into." It's said in a playful tone and I think Simba knew that, but I felt like that just reinforced what Simba already believed about himself; that it was always him who put those he loved in harms way and caused them to get hurt.
This is already getting much longer than I expected, so I'll wrap this up. Simba will forever remain one of, if not my most favorite character in Disney. The maturity to his story, his character development and everything he has gone through paints him as one of the bravest, strongest, greatest characters in my view. He'll always have a special place in my heart. This video was beyond excellent Isaac! Great job once again!
Yeah do a vid on why Scar wasn’t the villain of TLK franchise and it was really Ahadi was the bad the whole time, that concept sounds so similar to King 👑 Runard since everyone thought he was a benevolent king but he was really selfish, hostile, power hungry 🤤 (dominion hungry) and arrogant.
I agree with every single word you said. It was spot on.
@@younice9707 Thank you!
@@jetstar157 And what would happen if Moto Kovu's grandpa never challenged Mufasa?
@@arcticwolfplays5519 It was never confirmed that Scar had a abusive father. Also even if he did, that doesn’t mean Scar isn’t the villain.
Scar is the only Disney villain to live rent-free in the head of the hero after his death.

Hello?
@@loturzelrestaurant You comment says nothing of substance. It makes no sense.
@@bobcat24 That guy has another account called Slevin Channel. He's a troll who just posts rambling bullshit.
Scar is like a bad boomerang that keeps on coming back to haunt Simba and his family.
The look of pure rage on Simba's face as he shouted "Murderer!" and pinned Scar's neck under his paw, priceless! Was him taking all the power Simba thought Scar had over him away and giving it back to himself.
From a storytelling standpoint, I always found it amazing that Simba did not hate Kion after he was extremely close to becoming a Scar clone after the snake bite.
Is a cobra, dude
That is because Simba knew Kion is not like Scar and he also knew that his kids are definitely NOT in the position Mufasa and Scar were as siblings. Kiara and Kovu always worked things out after a squabble or when there’s a problem, something Mufasa tried to do with Scar but to no avail.
@@jesus7224cobra is a snake so I don't understand this comment
To me simba’s actions are completely reasonable
Very reasonable
Did he have EVERY right to be hateful towards the Outsiders??
He was traumatized on what his “uncle” did to his dad and the savanna
@@Elysia63 Yes
@@Salik96 And that they deserved to suffer as he did?
Simba will always be my favorite Disney characther. I never quite understood why some didnt like him in Simba’s pride. In my opinion he was very reasonable. He had a traumatic experince as cub and even if he wanted to move on, it still haunts him. I always think that in the end of Simba’s pride that he took a Big step forward by letting Kovu and the rest of the Outlanders join priderock.
I agree.
yeah, also he is one of my favs characters and yes they did good in make the second movie of TLK, to show us how Simba was still suffering with it, it touched me a lot the heart and I was able to empathize with him.. and I love how Kiara opens his eyes and he listens and accepts it, and it always moves me to hear at the end Mufasa tell him: "Well done, son, we are one."
"Run. Run, Simba. Run
Run away and never return." *-Scar*
" Simba son help me!!!!!!"
Simba: NO
@@Earth-uu3nf ;-;
No it’s more like “Run away Simba. Run away and never return.” - Scar
"Run. Run away, Scar. And never return." -Simba
For me, the part in the nightmare that stuck most with me was when Scar stopped Simba from saving Mufasa and said "Trust Me". Not only does it feel like such a twisted and manipulative way to justify someone's murder of their parent, but it reflected Simba's real relationship with Scar, he trusted him. Simba always looked up to and relied on Scar for his knowledge that he readily accepted responsibility for his fathers death when Scar said it was his fault, only to discover years later that he has been lying and using him from the start. For Scar, Simba was merely an obstacle to obtain the throne, for Simba, Scar was his uncle and that was the worst part about Scar.
Mohatu
No wonder is Simba is haunted by his past: He trusted and loved Scar like the family, as he was his uncle, only for Scar to betray his family for his own selfish gain by murdering Mufasa in front of Simba (without Simba either seeing or realizing what Scar did, as he was still cub back, though the image of Mufasa falling to his death must have been forever imprinted in the darkest corners of Simba's memory) and then Scar cruelly labelled Simba as a murderer of his own father before sentencing him into exile. Over years in exile, Simba loathed himself for what he believed was his own fault and much later was shocked down to the core to learn that Scar was the one who did it and all what he had told him were nothing but lies. Of course, the very memory of how Scar destroyed his life gives Simba a very hard time to ever forgive his uncle his actions.
Isaac there’s a topic I really think needs to be addressed
Lion King 2 vs. Little Mermaid 2 and why Morgana makes more sense as a villain character than Zira
Interesting thought! Why do you think Morgana makes more sense as a villain?
I believe both are valid as villains in there own right but I think Morgana could make more sense as she was the sister to Ursula and while no she wasn't fond of her sister that was still family. Sort of like the idea of no one gets to make a fool of my sister but me! Sort of thing and looking at it that way Morgana has every right to be mad her sister was killed and taken from her.
@@skylarhughes8832 yeah i think that both Morgana and Zira are great villains.
@@IsaacCarlson Can you look into Ariel's trauma too.
I know it's not as bad as Simba's
But having an overprotective parent can also give you trauma and which you end up being just like them.
I'm sure over the years, before Melody was born Ariel was dealing with some trauma of her own after her whole ordeal, and the trauma became stronger when Morgana almost killed baby Melody
Which unfortunately made Ariel turn into her dad by forbidding Melody to go into the sea
5:59 Ok, here are my thoughts: I can stand banishing Zira and the other adult lionesses, but the children? From what we know, not only were they the same age as Simba was when he ran away years ago, but I'm pretty sure they weren't even born during Scar's reign, so they had nothing to do with what happened. I'm sure you've seen a lot of debate about the hyenas suffering from discrimination, right? Well, the same thing applies here; I realize that Simba was still very traumatized from what he suffered during cubhood, but to me, that's not an excuse for how he treated Kovu. Throughout the duration of the second movie, never ONCE did he stop to think that Kovu was being manipulated by his mother just like Simba was manipulated by his uncle. At the very least, he should've let the Outlander explain what actually happened, instead of continuing to let his resentment blind his judgment.
Actually Moto was not only Kovu's grandfather, he was also the only male lion that team up with Scar but he was exiled when he challenged Mufasa into a Mashendano but Moto surrendered so Mufasa exiled him and then he mate with Jicho and they had Chumvi and thats the reason why Chumvi was tricky but then he became friendly
Simba has PTSD and honestly I think yes he went a little far with banishing a few children.
I am pretty sure he felt sorry for them but Zira is their mother. Even though she is a terrible mother it still doesn't change the fact that a mother would do everything to keep her kids with her. He can't force Zira to leave her kids behind because she made the choice for them
@@jesus7224 is this canon?
Cynical Reviews made his standpoint against Disney-and-China clear,

Scar may have done horrible things to Simba's life but I think that through Kirara's encouragement and kindness and the words "We are one" and "Put the past behind you" the reason why he welcomes back Kovu and the outsiders into his pride is that he's still he's uncle and couldn't love him as much as he loves his daughter.
What I like about those two lessons is that it come from who Simba loves: his daughter and his best friends.

@@IsaacCarlson You also look great without your glasses. Did you just start wearing contacts?
@@melissapas8474 Yes! I just got contacts!
I like to think that Scar (originally named Taka) suffered some sort of trauma when he was a cub and that’s how he got his scar (assuming Lion Guard isn’t canon) and that his back-up plan was to make Simba suffer a similar trauma to what he had, because to him, Simba represented the little innocent naive cub he used to be.
He surely did suffer but that doesn't mean he should have gotten this hateful and mad with power, he was like Lion version of Hitler
@@fantasticnerd7978 And Mufasa is the Lion Version of Benito Juarez
I like to think that Mufasa and Scar’s father (King Ahadi) wasn’t that good a father towards Taka and HE gave him his scar.
@@YellowBear-kx1ff while their grandfather (King Mohatu) was good
@@fantasticnerd7978 I think his father treated mufasa better than him and that's why he had that hatred in his heart I can't really blame him when he was younger but I can damn sure blame him when he's older.
Not to mention, in Kingdom Hearts 2, the ghost of Scar began haunting him, too!
He was stalking him
Oh yes of course! That's a great example too. I wish I would have remembered that moment too!!!

That poor cat. He became so worried about being next to lose his life after his father that he let his fears get the best of him and ruin him :(
While it's non-canon, the scene in Kingdom Hearts where Simba confronts the ghost of scar in the second visit is also a great moment of Simba struggling with that trauma.
I liked your analysis: Simba's trauma in someway, while I was growing up, I was analyzing it: Simba, as a child, saw die his father and also found his lifeless body, it's a great trauma for a child and to make things worse Scar exiled him making him feel guilty, so his self esteem was on the floor and Timon and Pumbaa trying to help him, tell him to try and forget his past, it really hurt me that he avoided his true pain and as a child he still suffered: 1:33 As a child, I realized that his nightmare was relationed with the death of his father; and it touched my heart..
1:50 also in The Lion King II, he still wished he could have saved his dad and was left with that mark
2:10 It always hurts me to hear him say crying: "it's my fault" that his dad is no longer with him, he was really very hurt
3:16that hurt a lot, well, he already knew that this was what he would face if he returned
3:44Yes, I felt the same rage as Simba, well he remembered the pain he felt when he lost his father and that the culprit was Scar;
Since his childhood he really did live dark moments, even in The lion guard, it hurt me and terrified the extremes with which Scar chased him, and he even almost killed him again, when he sent the scorpion and set fire to the King's rock again, telling him that he was still naive, Simba did not deserve that suffering and more since he was a child
9:01 you really moved me, Kiara was what Simba needed to open his eyes and heal some of his pain, with her innocence, hopefulness and see the good in everyone.. that scene is one of my favorite moments, together with the end when Mufasa tell him: "Well done, son, we are one."
"Simba just realized Scar kept coming back..."
My mind: "I always come back"
What if Simba dreamed about Scar and Nala banging? That could be a nightmare.
What’s so twisted about that is I can see Simba having such a freaky nightmare.
Lol
Damn ;-;
That’s just insane on every level
@@isaiahadams1208 Simba is losing the head
I feel like nobody talks about this aspect of the lion king enough. Thanks dude! This is honestly one of my favorite videos.
Simba must have the most trauma out of any disney hero
Simba was "Scar-red" for life.
And THAT is why Scar is my favorite Disney villain. He is giving people nightmares for no reason. LOL He lingers with you and you can't get him off of your mind. That's why he is a badass.
How *POWERFUL* do you think Scar really is?
@@Elysia63 Not much. Bad back you know.

NOOOO
@@jesus7224
Cynical Reviews made his standpoint against Disney-and-China clear,
but Isaac, a Disney-Tuber, does not. Many speak up,

Thats just sad and worrying.
I also agree that whether Scar was alive or dead, he still haunted Simba so much. More than enough to ensure Kiara was protected as future queen and Kion was kept onto his path as leader of the Lion Guard. Also, adding onto that, it's why I think that because of what happened to Kion (resulting of receiving his scar and making him leave the Pridelands until he was healed) that it was also why Simba became overprotective of Kiara; one of his children was badly hurt by Scar's evil, and he didn't want the other to go through the same thing with Zira's plot to avenge Scar. Simba lost someone he cared about so much that he did not want to go through that ever again.
You missed the part about simba fearing his son would become a second scar(do to the venom). Which may have fuled his distrust when he saw kovu's scar. And pushing him to ignore his explanation of events.
2:01 he must have had those nightmares in lion guard off screen before kion got his powers even if they don’t talk about it
Moto was the only lion that team up with Scar but Simba never meeted him so he doesn't had nightmares about him
As Vanessa from Deadpool once said "Children give us the opportunity to be better than we were before".
What if Simba accidentally told Nala that Mufasa died because of him before returning to Pride Rock?
Cooled
If only Simba saw that Scar was the one who killed Mufasa.
Ik right
I feel so bad simba went through all this. Though unfortunately coming from people who has seen people die, seeing his uncle murder his father would come to the same results even if he didn’t run away and the lionesses killed scar and Sarabi became the great queen she always was and raised simba herself. He would still have nightmares, trauma and problems in trusting other lions x
Too many scars
I hate to say this, but even if he had, Scar would have had Simba killed so that Scar would have taken the throne.
Better yet, why didn't Mufasa simply tell Simba what actually happened?
Another reason Simba's trauma was such a 'scar':. It came from someone he loved and trusted. Most little kids are innocent, like Simba was when talking to his uncle at Pride Rock. He may have half-known Scar was being sarcastic, but he was laughing and listening like any kid with a family bond.
Scar also had some (ever so small) amount of familial affection to Simba. He never actually laid a hand on him while his nephew was a cub. And his 'plans' to kill him were full of holes. Why didn't Scar end Simba in the gorge where the only witnesses were his co-conspirators?
Ultimately, Scar's choice was to be king by any means necessary. However, he could have killed Simba or not told him AT ALL about the truth. Maybe he was a sadist or wanted to prove that Simba would have never been strong enough to be King anyway. But how could their prior relationship have played into the trauma?
exact, I don't know what I felt every time I saw them interact together and he, as a child innocent, did not realize Scar's true intentions behind and how Scar pretended little affection and took advantage of his complete trust.. It hurt me a lot..
Scar is the most evil lion king villain he ruined simbas life and reputation to be king the worst thing he could ever do aside from killing mufasa is blaming simba for his fathers death even though it was scar who killed mufasa and he wanted simba to suffer and wanted to kill him as well
It’s a shame this wasn’t touched upon much in TLK2, though it probably was more so in TLG, on top of everything Simba suffered, the realization that his Uncle Scar, a member of the family whom he loved and trusted just as much as his own mother and father was the cause of everything, must’ve not only crushed Simba, but also made it extremely difficult to trust anyone, because his own flesh and blood turned out to be the villain! I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually suspected Timon and Pumbaa of being traitors, just from paranoia!
yes, but at least Timon and Pumbaa were showing their love for him, keep him safe when he was a cub, and without being from his blood family, they played and even consoled him from his nightmares; but Scar never showed to do that or with an ounce of love
Simba: I just don't want to be giving into danger and end up betrayed just like I did.
Kiara: I have already been given into danger and ended up betrayed.
(Simba looked confused about when did that happen)
Work out which scene was the reference in LK2
It was "Kiara's first hunt" scene. She was betrayed because despite the fact that Simba promised her that she could hunt on her own, He sent timon and pumbaa to spy on her anyway. The "given into danger" part is when kiara realized her father broke said promised she went further away from the pridelands and got caught in the fire nuka and vitani started and if it weren't for kovu, She would have died from the flames or the smoke.
@@alphonsejohnson5601 Correct!
@@alphonsejohnson5601 Did he have the right to do that to his daughter?
@@Elysia63 No, simba should have trusted his daughter. I understand that simba is just trying to protect her and all, but there's a time where she needs to do and experience things on her own, dangerous or not.

The Lion Guard may have been on Disney Junior but you can’t deny it adds a lot to the Lion King lore
Exactly, that's what I like about the serie, its story is worthy of continuing the main story intertwining, and the main characters from the first movie don't lose their protagonism
everything just gets even darker, because simba used to look up to scar as a cub. yikes
What's even MORE scarier that in a deleted script of the TLK 2, Mufasa says to his son, "You are not being me, you're becoming *SCAR.* "
@@Elysia63 That would fit in LG cause he isn't the Simba I remembered
Yeah, Scar was his UNCLE, family, and he even told Simba that he was his "favorite nephew", but it was a lie
Scar literally takes the cake, when it comes to manipulation. The fact, that he manipulated his own nephew, a young child, into believing, that it was his fault his father died. The fact, that scar manipulated his nephew all his childhood…

(This is a question that you could make a video for) In the 2019 remake, after the pouncing scene Zazu take Simba back to pride rock and says : Go play with the OTHER CUBS, there were 2 cubs one must be Nala but WHO IS THE OTHER CUB ?? and why it was the first and last time we saw it ?
I know the point of this video is to cover the canonical events of the Lion King franchise, but I wanted to mention Kingdom Hearts' take on this idea of Scar haunting Simba. In KH2 it's shown how after becoming king, Simba doubts his ability to be a worthy successor to his father. This doubt caused his Pride to have little faith in him, he was considered a joke by the hyenas, and all of Simba's negative emotions manifested into ghostly Scar omens throughout the land. These omens would taunt Simba, and further drag him down into dispair. But thanks to the help of his friends, Simba is able to overcome his fears, and defeat the Scar omens. Thus earning the respect of his Pride. All in all, it's cool to see another form of media take an interesting approach to this concept!
So Scar Scared Simba for life
Thank you for making my day brighter with a new video! I needed this! Have a Magical Day Mr. Issac Carlson (Wotso) And All of you Fun People!!
The quality of you videos gets better and better.
If you ever do more videos based on “The Owl House”, here’s some ideas for ones related to the Clawthorne sisters (Eda and Lilith):

2) Lilith’s full backstory
3) Why Lilith betrayed/cursed Eda
I want a video telling Aladdin's full story, because I want know more about his past of struggle to survive in the streets of Agrabah, and because will be fun and cool to tell Aladdin's transition from a street rat to a Prince and become heir to the throne of Agrabah alongside his beloved Princess Jasmine. Also, I want you theorizing where Aladdin and Genie were during the events of Disney Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams segment "More than a Peacock Princess", if they were in a diplomatic mission for the Sultan, or most likely they were visiting Aladdin's father Cassim in a hidden place in a kingdom far away from Agrabah, since Iago returns to Agrabah while Aladdin and Genie were absent.
I feel bad for simba I can’t believe scar Tricked simba into Believing that he killed his dad but I’m glad that scar is gone and that simba has Returned to pride rock
Can you do a theory about Hyenas in the Lion Guard?
I think KH2 Pride Rock revisited illustrates this well too
I was crying, while watching it. So sad for Simba.
Interesting thought: what if Simba NEVER listened to his daughter, Kiara and still believed that she was still a spoiled brat all the way????
Betrayal from the close person to you who you trusted - especially if that was your relative - shall hurt mostly
I just love your lion King vids❤
I completely agree with this. In the last video everyone was talking about the difference between the two movies and what could've been done differently. Having to live with a feeling of guilt because you were led to believe that you killed someone when it wasn't even your fault wouldn't be easy. You can tell in The Lion King 2 that all Simba was really after was finding a way for things to be safe and trying to find a way to take on this role while still being haunted by Scar. Something that I think made a difference was the fact that Kiara was able to help him see what he was doing and ultimately helped make some things clearer. It's clear that one of his biggest fears was having the same fate as his father and his uncle.
What about this: What if Simba didn't listen to Kiara's warning and truth about what he was actually doing; believing that Kiara was still acting very childlike and he just went doing his own way of ruling and listening to what he wanted to listen to?
@@Elysia63 I think he would've continued to rule in fear. Something we see early on in the movie is how determined he is to teach Kiara. What we see later is just how much he's haunted by his uncle and witnessing his father's death. It's understandable that he'd have trouble trusting anyone loyal to his uncle because of all the pain Scar caused him and who knows what kind of influence he had one those who stayed loyal to him. When the outsiders aren't involved he usually seems fine other than nightmares and being a little overprotective of Kiara. If someone hadn't gotten through to him whether it be Kiara, Nala, or anyone else he probably wouldn't have realized what he was doing. Mufasa was a good ruler and even though he and Scar didn't always agree he didn't make Scar leave. Had he been able to pass on more knowledge to Simba before he was killed then the outcome might've been different from the beginning. It's clear that Simba wanted to be a better ruler than Scar and was trying to find a way to live up to his father's rule because the line " you're not Mufasa" seemed to be something that in a sense woke him up to the reality that he wasn't and wouldn't ever be his father. Even if he still saw Kiara as childlike and refused to listen to what she had to say I think later he would've realized that she spoke the truth. Something that would be scary to think of is if Kiara ran away after not being able to get through to him.
@@clairefranzen5753 Okay. Good answer! 👍
@@Elysia63 What do you think would've happened?
@@clairefranzen5753 I think Simba would've become Scar in my total honest opinion. Because all his life, he had been letting his hatred for Scar and the Outsiders that it made him blind from seeing the truth. Also, I also know that hate, anger, and fear will lead lead you down a wrong path and it will totally ruin your life forever. And if you let the emotions come into you and you keep on doing things you know you shouldn't do and are not right, it does NOT make you a great person, it makes you become a monster.
So that's my thought about Simba of how he has been hating Scar and the Outsiders all his life. Do you agree?
Thanks Isaac of the video 😊
You could say that scar had scarred simba…I’ll see myself out
No matter how much Simba hated Scar and his loyal followers he didn't have the rigth to banish their cubs. That what was wrong plain and simple. Scar deserved to be punished and so did Zira that I agree with. The other lionesses I don't t know wether they deserved to be punished or not. I am unsure in that regard.
Well what can you do when Zira wants to keep them? Kidnap them?
@@hassanalkhalaf1115 of course not, but he could have been kinder to Kovu, Vitani, and Nuka from the start or given them the choice to leave or stay or return to the prides land instead of discriminating them. I understand that he suffered a huge trauma and that is not easy to cope with but tecnically the cubs were inocent(is that spelled rigth?) at the time.
@@Rasendebolge yes but you have to think like Simba. Kovu was raised by Zira and she said it herself to Simba that he will step into Scars footsteps. Simba panicked and wanted to be safe. Ofc you are right but if I knew a killer raised a kid to kill me I wouldn't immediately trust them either
@@hassanalkhalaf1115 and neither would I. I happen to love the lion king 2 and I myself have suffered a trauma in my childhood so I know how hard it is to try and go against that. Simba reacted like everyone else would in his situation. It would have been higly unreal if he had reacted differently. I still think he recovered from that trauma too quickly, but glad that he did since he is now free from Scar, Zira and Nuka. And Kovu and Vitani now has a fair chance at life. But a trauma still dosn't give you the rigth to treat inocent or kids badly. Til this day I still work with my self to give men the chance to show med that they arent horrible like my own father is. It is hard work and you also have to want to chance. Simba didn't Seem to want to do that to begin with, but being the kind guy he is he end up given Kovu a change thanks to Nala and Kiara.
@@Rasendebolge I am so sorry that you had to suffer because of this man and your father. I have daddy issues too. My father is like the worst man you can imagine. He did all the things no one should do to their partner or kids. I always try to see a sign of him being guilty but without success so I know how you feel.
You are pointing something interesting out. Simba himself was too stuck with his trauma so he couldn't overcome his fear. Only with the help with Nala and Kiara. This shows how important it is to have kind hearted people in youe life. They can't heal you alone but they will go steps with you and give you validation while we are at the healing process. Do you have people like them?
Imagine if Zira had found out that Scar had been resurrected by the Outlanders. With her lionesses under his rule they might have actually conquered the Pride Lands but lucky he was defeated by Kion before they ever found out.
One of my favorite videos you have done! Now, I know its not a disney movie, but I'd love to see your take on Swan Princess and who Odette's mother could be.
I hope you do a video about Prince Eric's full story. Because I want to know what happened to Eric's parents, if his parents died when Eric was a child, how he met and adopted his loyal dog Max and how many princesses from different kingdoms beyond the "princess of Glowerhaven", Prince Eric met and has turned down on them before meet and falling in love for Princess Ariel, and if Eric had to be married to become monarch of his kingdom!
Scar also came back as a ghost in Kingdom Hearts 2. Do you count that as canon?
As an adult I realized Scar blaming a literal child for his father's death is arguably more fucked up than Mufasa's death itself for a kid's movie.
Is king Ahadi son of king Mohatu
yes, I too, until I grew up I was able to realize more how hard was: Simba being a child, Scar blamed him for his father's death and also later exiled him, he was left with nothing: without a home or family... and I do think that it was harsh for a kid's movie, besides, living with guilt is a horrible feeling.
your definitely the most adorable UA-camr i follow my man lol good job over these years
Hi
Has anyone noticed that Simba plays a role in every death in the lion king movies
It’s not simba’s fault and I know what simba felt when he was having nightmares about his father’s death. When my father died i was having nightmares and i still do sometimes and my grandma made it worse for me when she called me crazy for missing my dad. You’re not alone simba
Greats experience with Simba Life and great video Isaac
Hi
What if Simba said that Scar was responsible for Mufasa's death?
@UC1eEF92ftGU_8R-Dt8ByD1g he was talking about Scar told Simba
Cynical Reviews made his standpoint against Disney-and-China clear,
but Isaac, a Disney-Tuber, does not. Many speak up,
this UA-camr doesnt.
Thats just sad and worrying.
He is tho
@@milesmorales__gf Guess your comment isnt the answer to my comment?
@@loturzelrestaurant yeah it’s not
In the upcoming prequel I wanna see how Mufasa's death affected Scar. Or at least everything he went through when he decided to murder his brother.
Not to symphatize with him, but because it would be tragic seeing him make this choice.
Well, I like to think that Scar (originally named Taka) suffered something kind of trauma that got him his scar. Because of this, I think he had a back-up plan; to force Simba to witness his father’s death to have him suffer a similar trauma to him, because to Scar, Simba represented the naive, innocent cub he used to be.
Also, the black and white view around Scar in the Lion Guard frustrates me, because Mufasa says “Scar NEVER cared for anyone else the way you do, Kion,” indicating that Scar was BORN evil. I don’t like this. I don’t think ANYONE was born evil. Also, I think that Scar’s destroying of Pride Rock in Lion Guard is a warped version of events, due to Simba’s PTSD.
@@YellowBear-kx1ff The phrase "Scar NEVER cared for anyone else the way you do" has multiple meanings, from Scar was friendly but not exactly close, to Kion cares for his friends like family.
@@Igorcastrochucre I still think that the thing with Scar wanting to destroy Pride Rock was a warped version of events made up by Simba’s PTSD. I don’t think Scar would want to destroy the place he called home.
@@YellowBear-kx1ff What if Scar never existed?
Finally a worthy video
my meal will be legendary!
In TLK2 fans think it is implied that Simba’s brash decisions are based on PTSD.
This is definitely the movie that I’ve watched the most times out of any movie ever. When I was really little, I never really looked more into why I loved the movie so much. Now that I’m older, and now that I understand my childhood trauma, I can appreciate it even more than I did before. This is why I was attached to it. Pain, fear, guilt. Being gaslit into thinking that it’s your fault that something horrible happened. Then, just to find out that you were being manipulated? The rage in Simba’s eyes. Family is supposed to be there for you, not abuse and betray you. Unfortunately, I know how Simba feels all too well. This will always and forever be my favorite Disney movie of all time, as well as my favorite animated movie of all time. It’s a masterpiece that symbolizes so much and addresses such heavy topics that it’s impossible to ever call this a bad movie. All in all, I fucking love The Lion King.
I can see why he banished the lionesses, the cubs though, they deserved better
Thank you! Yeah, Simba has severe PTSD.
PTSD is the worse
It also CAN make you a *monster* because of it too.
@@Elysia63 True...
What is PTSD?
@@Simbala-bq5vy You've never heard of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder? O_o
I just love your videos😁. You look good without glasses😉.
Thank you Isaac for doing this video because after hearing it from you I feel even more bad for Simba because scar definitely put Simba through a lot of pain. And I used to not like Simba's character in the second flim because of how he was acting and what he had done but now I understand Simba a little more so Simba's character is very reasonable and Simba has every right to hate scar so thank you Isaac.🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
I love your vids
There’s also another thing about Simba and his need for security but Idk if that’s just a theroy or if it’s been confirmed. But if you look at the presentation scenes from the end of the first and the beginning of the second movie, you’ll see those aren’t only completely different scenes but also different cups. The second one‘s obviously Kiara but who’s the first one? And what happened to it? The fandom named him Kopa and there’s two possibilities of what could’ve happened. 1: He left pride rock when he grew up. But Disney already ignored that rule with Scar, Kovu and Nuka. So the second possibility is more probable: He died. Which is one more trauma to add for Simba.
By the power of the *wonderful* disorder. Post Traumatic Distress Disorder.
Janja allowing scar to return probably restored simbas fear of scar
Can you do a video about a Beauty and the Beast theory if Gaston's reputation was severely damaged to majority of the villagers after the events of Beauty and the Beast? Because in the opening scene of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, everyone of the village came to the castle to celebrate Christmas with Belle and Prince Adam, but I think that only LeFou and Gaston's "buddies" do not attend the Christmas party in film due they are the only ones in the village who remained faithful to Gaston and his "legacy".
