And it begins.

Wait..... What?

It has been bounced around that Scar is a queer/gay stereotype.

Obviously, people are digging too deep and forgetting that Scar's body structure serves as a foil to Mufasa's body. It goes with their characters. Mufasa is a strong and straightforward lion. Scar is a physically weak and crafty character.

How In the actual ****ing **** do you whitewash a lion?

Probably should've left the first rendition of Be Prepared in the movie, then. Scar wants Nala to be his queen for producing heirs. Not kidding.

Creepy ass Scar LMAO

He isn’t the only one posting about how Scar was a gay character and now he looks like Mufasa on meth.

We saw that last year in KC. And yes it was.

This will definitely be awesome. And regarding the opening scene of the original, I remember being absolutely blown away at the realism of the animation. We had never seen anything like that in an animated movie that I know of.

Speaking of being shocked at the animation, I can’t believe this but Toy Story came out only one year after the Lion King. There was a giant leap but I didn’t realize how close it was to other traditional animated movies they made.

Aladdin is going to be here next spring. It’s supposed to be really good as well.

So weak and crafty = Gay?:facepalm:


These people finding something to offend them is taken to a new level now.

He did have a British accent/sarcasm

Pretty much. A professor of mine tried to sell that theory. There is a lot of worthless papers trying to examine Disney films under the lens of gender studies.

Not Mulan, but more germane there than a general new movie thread.

Oh and, . . .

AWW HELL YEAH!!
