Have a magical day, fun people!
There's a line in the film about how it hadn't rained in the Pride Lands since the day Mufasa died, and once Scar gets killed it rains as Simba becomes king. Well, there's a theory that Mufasa and the other past kings put a curse over the Pride Lands as a punishment to Scar for what he did to Mufasa and Simba that only ended once Scar was no longer king.
How can you be against infanticide and government hand outs the same way batman can be against ☠️ bad guys but leave raz All gull on Train about to crash
Well if the past kings can make the roar happen, it’s certainly possible.
I dunno. I mean, it’s an interesting theory, but it just seems a bit of a selfish thing for a bunch of “royal dead guys” to do. I mean, think of it, it wasn’t so much that the hyenas disrespected the circle of life in that they over hunted, it was that without rain, plant life dies. Water played a crucial role in the great circle of life. Not just for drinking, but most animals that the pride lived off of ate plants. These “royal dead guys” not only took away a source of water, but food as well. Either animals starved to death, or they left to find food elsewhere, or in Nala’s case, help. I can’t imagine Mufasa wanting his grieving widow Sarabi to deal with a food shortage. She already lost him, and believed her son was dead as well.
That's a good theory.
That makes way more sense then the hyenas somehow eating everything. A living being can only eat so much before full
There are so many origins about Scar's scar I don't know which is canon anymore. Thank you for making this video.

Lion guard is canon rest arent
@@madnessarcade7447 Thank you
You can believe whichever one you want.
@@pizzaplanettruck9761 It’s canon one of the producers and some of the writers from the original movie worked on lion guard
That makes it canon
And it was confirmed by the creator of the show and disney
Just cuz ur in denial doesnt mean it’s not true
However Scar got his scar, it made him into someone that would never turn back from his villainous path. That's why he is the best-animated villain.
I'd disagree in my opinion I think Bill cipher is the best animated Disney villain but he still good like OH MY GOD is scar good edit: also be prepared is great
I know how he got his mark he saw a lion Told him he can get more powerful and the lion head a kind of snake and it give Scar his, and evil because Mufasa said it will be okay and then nickname scar
Exactly he's not gonna to get a redemption arc due to how despicable he is.
I mean, I don't think his scar made him into someone evil (unless you go with the snake bite story thing). It was either something in the way he was treated, or he was just like this from the start.
Bruh poor scar he's my favorite man bruh
Man poor scar. His life was set up when from the beginning. The poor dude was literally named dirt.
Taka means "Want" in Swahili. Also, it's not canon.
*Waste
And true, it's not canon. There's another rumor that his name was Askari, which is (I think) "soldier." Neither one of these ideas is confirmed to be true, though.
I KNOW
Yeah poor me 😔😭
@@star1945 poor me 🥲
I never believed the Lion Guard was canon. I dunno about "A Tale of Two Brothers", but I do like the Taka birth name. That's the one thing missing in the 2019 one.
It’s canon one of the producers and some of the writers from the original movie worked on lion guard
That makes it canon
And it was confirmed by the creator of the show and disney
Just live with it.
I kinda agree with ya the show just puts the movie off a bit I like what they originally had oof
It is canon, whether you like it or not. Simple.
@@madnessarcade7447 Yes, the most authoritative understanding or interpretation of any work of art is the author himself or herself. So, what the creators of the show say about how to interpret it must be accepted.
On that note, I see the Lion Guard as a TV series that fills in the gaps and the background behind the Lion king films. It may seem like a light-hearted and fun tv show for children, but it has some very serious underlying themes such as conflict, tribalism and prejudice as well as repentance.
Scar: *And that's how I got my scarrrr! When I led The Guard!*
*lean*
I really thought Scar and Mufasa's father gave him that scar, it would've been a MUCH better origin story than having a buffalo and a cobra do it
But according to the novel of the 2019 movie, his vision being crippled resulted in him being not taken into hunts as much, which contributed to his feeling of being othered by his peers and drove him bitter as a result, not just towards his father.
It's non canon.
There are too many fan theories where Mufasa and Scar’s father was abusive.
No his dad did give it him this info is wromg
In that new kids show lion guard tells it as a lion deceiving scar and getting a snake to do it so that's probably what happened since Disney made the show
Personally I think the story with Mufasa and Scar’s father is my favorite with live action being my second favorite of the three. I wouldn’t have minded the Lion Guard’s so much if it wasn’t for the venom being such a big cause in his corruption because then it goes into something like a magical artifact is controlling the villain which really doesn’t work in this context with the og movie. But that’s a personal opinion based off of what I heard in both this video and other sources that aren’t the main source materials.
To be honest, I don’t really agree with the Lion Gaurd’s version, cause, like you said, the venom feels like it has magical properties. I also doubt that a snake bite could even make a scar like the one Scar got.
The vemon only reveals Scar's darker desires.
I wouldn’t really call it a “magical artifact”. Scar was poisoned, but was too stubborn to ever get any treatment from Rafiki, thinking he’d be stronger than the venom. And in the end he did survive it, but the snake’s venom warped his mind, made him more aggressive, turned him psychotic and crazy, and even more resentful towards his brother. A bit like how any of us can become sick and delusional if we get bitten by a poisonous animal, even go crazy from it
@@isaiahgarza87 I kinda thinking he got scratched from something and got jealous of his brother that's why he's evil
I kinda always liked his Scar, it made him look more menacing as a villain, at least in my opinion.
Let's all admit that Scar's demon form from the lion guard is freaking awesome
True
Every time a parent has a favorite between their children, the other is automatically the bad one... Of course Scar did a lot to be the villain in his own story, starting with his desire of power, but at my point of view everytime the sibling in the parent grace see the other condescendingly, a little bit of the other sibling goes beyond salvation.
Why does hearing the backstory laid out like this make me relate the lion brothers to Loki and Thor's relationship before the Avengers. I feel like Scar has a similar lot in life to Loki but handles it without Loki's charm.
Or his mask.
Cain and Abel.
I really hope we finally get to see scar get his scar in the live action prequel movie!
Def
Wait, there's a prequel in the works?
I really enjoy this. This is very great and very nicely well done. Out of all the three legends behind how Scar got his scar and became the villain he was known to be, I would have to say that the one from "The Lion Guard" makes more sense given that it is Canon now that it has been revealed that Kion is one of Simba and Nala's sons along with Kopa despite him being Semi-Canon (Kopa is Canon on one half as defined by what Semi means). I really enjoy The Lion King, Isaac Carlson. I can't wait to see what other videos you will be publishing soon.
I've always wanted to know the origin of Scar's Scar and the origin of Risky Boots' boots dood.
Hi EVERYLION KING fan, there are also Lion King comics that depict that Ahadi, Mufasa and Scar's father, scratching Taka(Scar)around the eye area because he disobeyed him.
Those arnt Cannon at all tho. It has to be produced by Disney to be cannon.
still, better than what disney has produced as a backstory. i really like the idea the fans gave for a story but its not cannon although i take it as a head cannon bc its my favorite one of all the stories
@@sunseeker3359 indeed just because something is canon doesn't mean is good. For example Star Wars Legends are better than the Sequel Trilogy.
I like the lion guard origin for scar
The more scar stories this guy gets, the more he starts to make me think he's a child-friendly version of Heath Ledger's Joker lol. XD
This is amazing how we learn about scar and Mufasa
Thanks for acknowledging the live action remake of The Lion King, cause I thought I was the only one who noticed some different things about it. Plus, I’m sick of people saying it’s a “shot for shot” remake. They just not looking hard enough.
Taka - Trash
Mufasa - Royalty
Scar is so misunderstood,I know when he said he led the lion guard and saved his home,Mufasa just nicknamed him “Scar”. We should get a movie starring before Simba’s birth but during Scar and Mufasa’s life time. In Scar’s eyes everything was won over by his brother because he was royalty.
Although this is just from Scar’s perspective so it could be taken with a grain of salt
Tldr: Maybe Zazu is right about expelling Scar from the pridelands
You know, actually, I already know how he gets his scar before without the scar, his name was Taka, he was the lion guards leader, he then saw a strange lion, he had a python friend and it bites Scar. Then he lost control and roared and destroyed them, he expected to be praised, near and far for stoping that thing, but Mufasa nickname him Scar, so he became Scar and he knew Mufasa must not be king! He asked his Lion Guard friends to defeat Mufasa but they refuse, he roared and destroyed them too. Also, he grew evil that time so he lost the Scar, the rest you can know for Lion King 1.
Its simple the venom in scar made him lose control whether he's right or wrong
I opened a Disney t-shirt from you because you are a really creative UA-camr and I love your Channel.
Man you be making up good questions about this characters
I like either the second or third theory as to how Scar got his scar.
There was one that I remember where Ahadi gave Taka his scar because he apparently went down to the gorge with Uru only for Taka to return alone, enraging Ahadi and promptings I’m in a fit of rage to not only scar his youngest son but banish him in his grief. It would be during this time that he became acquainted with the hyenas and later Zira and her pride. It was only after Ahadi had stepped down as king did Mufasa look to bring Taka back. Now filled with ambition and rage, he was from then on addressed as Scar. Another version actually depicts Scar killing his father but I’m not the biggest fan of that. I like to think that Ahadi actually regretted what he did but was too ashamed to look Scar in the eyes again after hurting him. I also like an idea someone left where Scar may have been an incompetent hunter and one day while his mother is trying to teach him she’s attacked by some Buffalo, Wildebeest, or stampede and BMIs punished or that because his father specifically told Scar not to go out by himself since he wasn’t particularly capable of taken care of himself at a young age.
In the lion guard, Scar's real name was Askacri before he changed his name.
That makes Askari Sr the Good Askari and Scar the Bad Askari.
no Scar is named after Askari.
Can you please do one of the more underrated Disney franchises The Rescuers To examine the full story of Penny, the full story of Bernard and Miss Bianca, the full story of Madame Medusa, the story of Percival C. McLeach, the role of the rescue aid society, and breakdown how Bernard and Miss Bianca became a lovely couple?
Thank you for posting the video. I was wondering about how Scar got his scar.
That's me with my younger brother. I have the heart, strength, and leadership knowledge, and experience like mufasa, but with Down syndrome i'm like scar.
I like your new look Isacc.
Thank you so much for making this amazing video ☺️💚🖤 I’m literally obsessed with the lion king and I love all of the lion king movies 😁🥺🖤🤎

ISAAAC CARLSON: this was a really great video. I love all of your lion king videos. Those are interesting stories about how scar got his and if there is one thing that remains prominent in all of them it’s that you should betray your family no matter what.
Im about to have my exam.. glad i looked at youtube first
I like the Lion Guard version the best.
I think the first one is the best way to explain how Scar got his scar.
I wish the live action remake did their version of how Scar got his scar as before the movie came out and this was actually before they showcased his design for the movie I thought they were going to go with his scar being a burn instead of a scratch as a result making the eye with the scar blinded similar to what they did with Shere Khan in the live action remake of the Jungle Book
Disney will make live action prequel about Mufasa so maybe there will be the backstory
It's ironic and just plain sad that Scar went through the trouble of usurping Mufasa's throne through regicide. Yet, once in power, he does absolutely nothing good for his kingdom as it was degrading from a beautiful paradise into a horrible wasteland. His perception of being king is entirely warped by jealousy, greed, and hate! Being a king in real life doesn't mean sitting on the throne and acting bossy! The king or queen is first and foremost a servant to their subjects, as the old saying goes,
'heavy the head that wears the crown! Showing only self-preservation and self-importance is the sign of a tyrant!
🤓
The Lion King is absolutely my favorite movie of all time! 🦁👑🧡
Same
There’s actually three theories of how scar aka Taka got his scar and issac you forgot the 3rd theory when scar father scratched him in the eye for going to the outlands and scar was young at that time
I never read the original books, but: I have watched The Lion Guard multiple times, and that is my headcanon. The live action movie looks great, but it doesn’t have the charm of the original.
I consider the lion guard version cannon with the animated movie.

Meanwhile, in Hercules...
@@YellowBear-kx1ff And just think, whenever he gets dirty you could take him out and beat him.
Can you do a video on the idea of Cassandra and Varian becoming a couple after the events of Tangled: The Series?
Thanks for this! I'm going to be Scar for Halloween! 😎
What’s the point of having a second child if you’re going to treat them differently??
I like to think that scare (the character) got his scar in a battle between mufasa to who would take king
Could you maybe do a video about Mufasa and Scars parentes?
The 2019 film is such a messed up take on how he got his scar. Implied that Mufasa is responsible after his brother challenged him. Now he forever is named Scar as a reminder that Mufasa beat him.
I 100% agree. He also revealed his intentions, now everyone already knows that he wants to kill the king for the throne but the reason why he isn't banned is because he's the king's brother. Pathetic
Ok so here’s my analysis of this. The first story from A Tale of Two Brothers is not bad. It gives him a name and it’s reasonable, but I don’t know how he’s escape a buffalo with just a scar on his eye (keep in mind I’ve never read it). The Lion Guard if I remember correctly is officially canon (though it’s probably gonna get discredited by the prequel that’s supposed to be coming), but I don’t like the story of Scar it gives. While it gives him a good reason to resent Mufasa, the whole thing with the snake was that it messed with Kion’s mind, and he’s lash out at his friends. It makes it seem like Scar isn’t evil, it’s just the venom. Now some people might like that, but for someone to do what he did and get killed for it, I don’t think that venom corrupting his mind is a good story. The last story that’s implied in the remake is the most reasonable theory. I really think it should’ve been the story all along. It’s probably gonna become canon with the prequel.
well actually scar was always evil the venom just "enhanced" the evil
"It's probably gonna become canon with the prequel."
the
what
@@kaputt_jay3873 there’s supposed to be a prequel made in the coming years using the photorealistic animation
Always enjoy the Lion king plot due to how Shakespeare inspired it is.
Oh yes, The Lion King 1 is based on Hamlet while The Lion King 2 is based on Romeo and Juliet.
I once had a theory that Scar got his scar from Shenzi's mother to have him join the Hyenas
I’ve read an Internet comic that named Shenzi’s mother Freya and in it, she manipulates Scar against the lions.
Freya, cool name,
@@stevensampson5823 So, are you gonna use it for Shenzi’s mother, like the the Internet comic?
You got a better name for Shenzi's mother?
@@stevensampson5823 How about Gothel?
Can we take a moment to appreciate Hans Zimmer's musical work on the movie?
i like the lion guard one the best scar was always wanting power so the venom didnt make him evil when he got it he didnt fight it, it just enhanced his darkness. when kion got it he fought it and tried to remain who he was as kion wasnt evil at heart, he got help and over came it.
The one that he turned evil because of a nickname?😂😂 You serious?

I don't know if you read the comments, but I love every video you post. Keep up the great content!
There were real life words in the ending here. Enjoyed this video. Thanks for this post.
I like all three, and like you pointed out, Scar's scar had triggered the lion's emotions which made him as he is. If there's something lacking from Scar's backstory in The Lion Guard, it'll be a deeper backstory.
Scar, in the eyes of everyone, was always made to be a sympathetic villain. A mere triggering of a venomous snake bite and an insult of his brother is not enough to drive him to murder. For Scar to be more reasonable, there's gotta be some trauma down the line or family issues other than his brother.
A Tale of Two Brothers is perfect, and it was matched to a timeline where his and Mufasa's mother, Queen Uru, is gone. This could lead up to questions on how was the queen's relationship with her sons. Is she like Ahadi? Does she favor any of her sons? Does she treat them equally? Does she spend enough time with them? Did she noticed her youngest son's change of will and heart?
The hint in the live-action is driven by desire. Desire for power, and desire for love. Idk about the person who's reading this, but I think this could be connected somehow to A Tale of Two Brothers. This showed a more sympathetic side of Scar which made him very desirable as a traumatized lion with a sympathetic backstory and a very messed up life.
Another one could be the fact that Scar was meant to be born evil. This trope came from a show in the other network (Nickelodeon) on which the younger sibling was meant to be bad, and is turning out like her corrupt father even at such a young age. This is seen in a lot of comics in UA-cam, as Scar befriended hyenas ever since he's young, and everything starts to fall down once a hint of jealousy toward his older brother appeared.
Either way, all has pros and cons
“Everyone”?
No way, Scar is not meant to be sympathetic. In fact, he's beyond it with his evil actions, becoming a villain everyone love to hate in their eyes, a hate sink if you will. Disney never thinks of making him sympathetic at all. The venom did not create his evil instincts, but revealed them, not to mention he has shown taking great pleasure in what he did both in the original film and in the series itself, so Scar is not tragic in the slightest. Also, his canon Lion Guard backstory is fine enough as it is and he's always jealous of Mufasa and wants the throne for himself even before he got his scar. Cares only for himself and no one else.

@@nomore6258 ok, apparently maybe not
@@theprideofgryffindor9489 Scar is never sympathetic in everyone's eyes. In fact, he's way beyond it by his evil actions and everyone hates him for that. You thought wrong.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 exactly. Scar isn't written to be symphatetic.
I love you you can tell him I'm glad I got to subscribe to it
I have another request for another video you should do where are your favorite Disney songs that really you should do a video about that
Even if Scar defeated Mufasa and became king I think Sarabi still would have chosen Mufasa because she loved Mufasa for the lion that he was, not for his title or physical strength.
The canonical one is the Snake bite
Well, it is just one version of his backstory.
That would be great if we can do more Disney Origins I love your videos and your content
Here’s a theory the Disney universe and the Pixar universe are parallel to each other!! If all disney movies occur in the same timeline then that universe is parallel to the universe Pixar movies take place. I believe the show Sofia The First proves this. Thought Sofia’s amulet, Cinderella says the amulet connects all the princesses and on multiple occasions Sofia meets with the Disney princesses and also Olaf. Which proves those princesses are connected, (some Disney shows might not take place in the universe if the movies but I like to think at least STF does since characters from the movies show up all the time) and one princess that comes to visit Sofia is Merida. Now I personally believe that Sofia’s amulet makes the princesses being called in to help both teleport and time travel.
Firstly they teleport from where ever they were to where Sofia is. Second they must time travel as not all princesses live in the same time as Sofia. Sofia lives in a world pre electricity while princesses like Tiana lives in the 1960s so they clearly time travel to Sofia’s time.
Now Merida then must teleport from the Pixar universe to the Disney one to be able to meet with Sofia which means their universes are parallel to each other and clearly connected as the amulet calls Merida specially. Since it connects all princesses in multiple universes.
Talk about turning red it Connects so much of Pixar
None of this carnage in the Pridelands would've happened if Ahadi had payed attention to Scar.
He’s like the watcher maybe he couldn’t interfere
@@madnessarcade7447 Ultron found that out.
Scar would still become evil either way by jealousy of Mufasa and desires for the throne.
Can you explain Bambi and his fanchise
Dude, what are your thoughts about Sora finally in Smash Bros?!
I didnt watch you for a time but then i saw this and decided to watch you again
I think the remake had the better explanation. And yes I love the Lion King remake, don't judge me. At least it's not god-awful Mulan
I love it too!
Same here man! It’s great to see someone else like the film, even if it’s not a perfect remake, but one of the better ones I’ve seen alongside the Jungle Book.
I have mixed feelings about it. My biggest issue is there was no emotion on the lions face when I've seen irl animals express way more emotion. They literally could if watched a nature documentary and tried to copy the emotions in that ar least
@@lunawolfheart336 At least the animals emoted through body language, and the voice actors tried to put in some effort. All unlike Liu Yifei *shudder*
Me too!
How I take it is the buffalo one is the rumor that was told, the snake venom is the actual one, since Scar himself tells him how he got his scar, and the Live Action one is just Scar saying "again" because Scar originally tried to challenge Mufasa with the roar, but lost it when he killed the Lion Guard for not supporting him.
Could do you do Disney Channel explanation videos like how did Lollie from Puppy Dog Pals got his cart? then could you do also Paw Patrol explanation videos as well? like what happened to Ryder's parents and how did they die? where did Marshall, Skye, Rocky and Zuma came from before joining the Paw Patrol?
The storyline of the irl movie makes sense bc it's real life but the animation should hv gone with his father giving him it
This doesn’t really relate to anything, but the name “Taka” can also translate to “hawk” in Japanese. (Thanks, Naruto, for giving me that useless fact!)
LOL
Could you make more nightmare before christmas movies ? Please
Very insightful!
What do you think of theorizers dream workers theory
Ahadi and mufasa did scar dirty
I've always preferred the origin where Scar and Mufasa's father,Ahadi,gave him the scar in a fit of rage. The fan interpretation of that origin especially makes both Scar and Ahadi seem like two sides of the same coin if circumstances were different
Too bad it's non canon.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 Don't need to be hostile about it
Thank you for your videos
love the origins!
It'll be interesting to see what will be included in the new Mufasa movie coming out too.
You should do a video on the Horned King
His father was not the one who gave him the scar. Its a snake bite

Please do this one : what if kion accepted his fair from scar (PLEASE DO THIS)
I agreed with your conclusion 🤓👍🏽
There’s a fan theory that their dad scared scar/take when scar/taka was a cub / teen, he tried to kill/ injured his brother so he couldn’t be king, failed and got caught and his father punished him and scared him.
I always thought the reason Scar lived in the hyena domain was because he was one of the many males that were exiled when Mufasa was made King considering in real life there's only one alpha male in a pride
