Early on in Nuka’s life he was trained by his family and pride to hate Simba, and over time he became convinced that destroying that king was the only way to prove that he should’ve been chosen to be Scar’s successor and to show his mother he should be loved. Today I’m going to be going through the entire, complex and tragic story of the chaotic villain from The Lion King 2: Nuka.
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

Dark theory/idea: If Kovu had killed Simba and became king... Nuka's jealousy would have continued to climb, until he walked down the same path Scar did. Ironic isn't it?

@megagodsavageredlion9772 5 лет назад

Interesting theory, very ironic, but also very dark but it kinda makes sense. Nuka following in his father’s footsteps into killing kovu in order to become the next king, like scar killed mufasa in order to become king, but imagine zira, vitani and the rest of zira’s pride’s reaction, who knows what they would do to nuka, probably avenging kovu by even killing nuka, but nuka wouldn’t go that far, even if he did kill kovu and become king, he would forever be resented and despised by his family if not killed. Nuka just wanted to receive his mother’s approval, love and attention, he wouldn’t impress anyone by committing homicide towards kovu, but nuka always wanted to become king, but when Kovu was heir, nuka didn’t even stand a chance. Nuka has always been jealous of kovu and the more approval and attention Kovu received, the more jealous nuka became towards kovu.

@tomboyangel78 5 лет назад

@@megagodsavageredlion9772 Very true. But imagine it taking place after Zira's passing, or when she became too old. Plus, just like Scar, Nuka would make it look like an accident (...provided he gained some wits over time).

@megagodsavageredlion9772 5 лет назад

tomboyangel78 exactly, that’s also a possibility, zira dying from old age, nuka being king instead of kovu, nuka probably couldn’t take responsibility for kovu’s death either and lied about it, but what if he went to far, would the pride murder him like the hyenas murdered scar, it’s a possibility but it’s likely that nuka will attempt to cover up kovu’s death and to lie and blame it on someone else, very similar to what scar did.

@tomboyangel78 5 лет назад

@@megagodsavageredlion9772 Possibly. Another dark idea based around it is Nuka being alive after Zira died. Kovu n Kiara unite the two prides, so Kovu is ten times the hero now. Nuka would probably lose it at this point, only rather than being like Scar, he would be like Zira and end up exiled.

@megagodsavageredlion9772 5 лет назад

tomboyangel78 that’s a possibility, nuka did try to kill simba to impress his mother and pride, simba would probably exile nuka or give him a chance, but his jealousy towards kovu probably would’ve gotten him to attempt to overthrow kovu since zira wasn’t there to lecture him, but then nuka would probably be exiled by simba, but nuka isn’t dumb or anything like that, he knew that he would be outnumbered by simba’s pride so he would possibly decide to join simba’s pride and to give up on his jealously and resentment towards kovu.

@raven3067 5 лет назад

To be honest it was all Zira's fault for how Nuka turned out. Her neglection of him and paying more attention to Kovu has led Nuka to slowly develop mental and psychological issues that Zira could have prevented if she'd just paid attention to Nuka. But she didn't and in return it cost her her first son's life. It's kind of sad if you think about it carefully.

@Black.Rose743 5 лет назад

Personal head canon : nuka is scars only biological son... ironically being born weak he rejected him immediately blaming Zira for his condition. Zira scorned, went behind scars back and had Kovu and vitani with another lion. Nuka knew he was scars real son which made him even more jealous of kovu.

@ammythesta2099 2 года назад

or he could have had Zira go to another lion on purpose. Scar in the first movie claimed himself to have been the weaker brother due to his genetics. If Nuka was like scar he would have had a scrawnier body and felt that it wouldn't serve any good to have a weak heir that could possibly be easily overthrown.

Zira couldn’t let go of her hate and resentment towards simba, like scar couldn’t let go of his hate and resentment towards simba as well, causing scar to lie and betray the hyenas and blaming them for mufasa’s death, causing the hyenas to retaliate against scar and then brutally murdered him for his constant lying and betrayal towards them. Since zira also couldn’t let go of her hate and resentment towards simba, this caused for her to refuse to join simba’s pride and refused to allow Kiara to help her, causing zira to commit suicide by allowing her claws to release from the cliff, causing her to fall into the rushing waters and then died. Nuka on the other hand had a lot of determination to impress his mother, but while he was attempting to kill simba himself, nuka lost his balance and ended up being crushed by a huge log, nuka unfortunately died later on. Nuka died trying to impress his mother and attempting to receive his mother’s approval, love and attention which is what he received right before he died.

They say a male lion will mate with an entire pride to birth new cubs... My theory is that the reason half the pride became outsiders for a while was because... after Scar forcefully mated with them... They developed a lust for his leadership and intelligence, but Zira though... She became the most sexual with Scar, so desperate, that they probably were together the longest, and so that's why she had 3 cubs, Nuka first, but not worthy to his liking... Example, in that deleted scene when Scar harassed Nala, she did not give in like half the 'others' did

@Bubbles_the_Siren 5 лет назад

Just a thought: perhaps Scar selected Kovu as his successor because, presumably a second born himself, he wanted to make a move against the tradition of first born being the heir. He wanted to honor the position of the second born male. Interestingly, it displays the “golden child” treatment of the heir and the neglect, even disdain, for the non-heir male child. Thus shedding light upon the treatment and sentiments Scar probably experienced growing up. With this perspective, it makes Scar a much more sympathetic character.

@Rainalot 4 года назад

In regards to lion biology; it makes a lot of sense for Nuka to be Taka/Scar’s son and Kovu to be Nuka’s son. My guess is Nuka was born scrawny and Scar deemed him an unfit heir. He assured Zira that their next male cub would be his successor. Scar was killed before that could happen and Zira and the others were banished shortly after. Nuka matured in the outlands and his mother was in season. There were no other male lions available. Lions aren’t bothered that they commit incest. It happens all the time. Simba and Nala are half siblings. I personally don’t condone incest but take another look at all the outlanders together in LK2. Not a single male except Nuka and Kovu. Nuka was the only one who could have sired Vitani and Kovu. Otherwise it doesn’t work with the timeline. How could Kiara and Kovu be the same age if he overlapped with Scar?

@angelwhispers2060 2 года назад

They literally say that they "found Kovu and took him in" and he is not Zira's at all. One of the other lionesses who did not want to breed with scar could have wandered to the edge of the pride lands and found a back for male to mate with. But rather than admit it was her son and bring it back to the pridelands she abandoned the cub believing that scar would kill any progeny that was not his. But this does not happen Zira finds him brings him to Scar and Scar is perfectly happy to take in this male lion cub. I believe that Scar was willing to put an unrelated male at the top of the pride because he did not know that one of the lionesses betrayed him in order to create Kovu. He believes that the male Cub was unrelated to his females and therefore could breed with them safely and not have any of his own genetic defects. Or Kovu could just literally be an abandoned Cub from some other Pride or the sole survivor of another Pride that was taken over by Bachelor males and all the other Cubs were killed but Kovu escaped and the other pride left with their new male. Cuz that's how Lion societies actually work. Kiara would have been from the very last Cubs Scar had with Zira before he was killed. You don't see any other young cubs her age because they have died of starvation in the outlands.
