The Origins Of Scar’s Scar: Every Legend We Know! 

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.

There are so many origins about Scar's scar I don't know which is canon anymore. Thank you for making this video.

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 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.

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

Man poor scar. His life was set up when from the beginning. The poor dude was literally named dirt.

Let's all admit that Scar's demon form from the lion guard is freaking awesome

Scar: *And that's how I got my scarrrr! When I led The Guard!*

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.

I like the lion guard origin for scar

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.

I kinda always liked his Scar, it made him look more menacing as a villain, at least in my opinion.

I really hope we finally get to see scar get his scar in the live action prequel movie!

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.

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.

Tldr: Maybe Zazu is right about expelling Scar from the pridelands

I've always wanted to know the origin of Scar's Scar and the origin of Risky Boots' boots dood.

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.

This is amazing how we learn about scar and Mufasa

Man you be making up good questions about this characters

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.

I like your new look Isacc.

What’s the point of having a second child if you’re going to treat them differently??

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

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.

I like either the second or third theory as to how Scar got his scar.

In the lion guard, Scar's real name was Askacri before he changed his name.

I opened a Disney t-shirt from you because you are a really creative RU-vidr and I love your Channel.

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.

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.

Im about to have my exam.. glad i looked at youtube first

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.

I consider the lion guard version cannon with the animated movie.

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 😁🥺🖤🤎

I think the first one is the best way to explain how Scar got his scar.

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?

Thank you for posting the video. I was wondering about how Scar got his scar.

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!

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?

I like the Lion Guard version the best.

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.

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.

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

4:42 He'd make a very handsome throw rug.

Thanks for this! I'm going to be Scar for Halloween! 😎

There were real life words in the ending here. Enjoyed this video. Thanks for this post.

Very insightful!

I once had a theory that Scar got his scar from Shenzi's mother to have him join the Hyenas

Can you do a video on the idea of Cassandra and Varian becoming a couple after the events of Tangled: The Series?

Thank you for your videos

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

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 don't know if you read the comments, but I love every video you post. Keep up the great content!

The Lion King is absolutely my favorite movie of all time! 🦁👑🧡

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.

Can you explain Bambi and his fanchise

What do you think of theorizers dream workers theory

Can we take a moment to appreciate Hans Zimmer's musical work on the movie?

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.

None of this carnage in the Pridelands would've happened if Ahadi had payed attention to Scar.

love the origins!

Awsome!

Always enjoy the Lion king plot due to how Shakespeare inspired it is.

I didnt watch you for a time but then i saw this and decided to watch you again

Can You Do A Jake And The Neverland Pirates "Are Jake And Peter Pan Brothers?"

Dude, what are your thoughts about Sora finally in Smash Bros?!

Because you did a video on the relationships of Daisy and Donald and Scrooge and Goldie, can you please do a video explaining Gandra and Fenton's relationship?

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

Talk about turning red it Connects so much of Pixar

I love you you can tell him I'm glad I got to subscribe to 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!)

You have a very creative mind

I agreed with your conclusion 🤓👍🏽

TCB🌠 I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 😁⭐ THIS GUY IS SO ADORABLE🤩

seems like thor and Loki

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.

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?

You should do a video on the Horned King

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 RU-vid, 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

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.

It'll be interesting to see what will be included in the new Mufasa movie coming out too.

The canonical one is the Snake bite

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

His father was not the one who gave him the scar. Its a snake bite

1:50 Are we just not gonna talk about how this makes no sense? 1. He didn't get a slash from a snake bite because that's not how snake bites work, what the hell are you talking about? 2. There were no lions in the outlands until Lion King 2 because those lions were followers of Scar who were banished after his defeat. 3. The snake poisons Scar and the other lion tells him that he will get the antidote if he helps with the plan because I guess this lion has a chemistry set. Scar doesn't help him and...is fine...must be a slow acting poison.

hi Isaac, I love your videos 🐯 🦁 😺🐅🐅🐅🐆🐆🐆🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🍨🦁🍪

Please do this one : what if kion accepted his fair from scar (PLEASE DO THIS)

For me the lion guard version is cannon!

Could you make more nightmare before christmas movies ? Please

I like Scar for just how interesting he's as villain, his personal connection to the heroes makes him a complex character and we do understand his motive very well. The Lion Guard botchered his backstory by revealing Scar got his scar from a snake (snakes can't make scars like that) and that Mufasa was a jerk that instead of rewarning his brother for having defended the Pride Lands he nicknamed him "Scar", that ruins the charm of Mufasa's character (Scar's betrayal was impactful because Mufasa cared deeply about him and wouldn't expect a thing like that of him). I have in mind that Scar was named by his father "Hafifu", a name that means weak, and that his father ignored him and gave him no importance, Scar got also bullied by the other lion cubs. One day he makes his father get enraged, which causes the latter to scratch him in the eye and banish him to the Elephant Graveyard. Scar gets raised by the hyenas who makes him turn evil and nickname him "Scar". One day Scar tricks his brother on making him reintroduce to the Pride Lands and here's how anything started. Trust me, canon isn't always the best one.

Ahadi and mufasa did scar dirty

I think his family named him Taka not because they want to shame him but they named him Taka in spite of it. They thought he could introduce a new meaning to the name. Unfortunately, they were wrong.

The one with the cobra is my favorite

Do Melody next.

Who can't wait for Colinlookback to cover Scar , hyenas and other villains from Lion King

oh yeah scar

Scar is the Disney version of Richard III, a deformed malevolent bastard who seeks to rule by any means necessary, even if it means committing murder against his brother and nephew

A better story would be Scar being at odds with his family because he looked and acted like his grandfather (who for story sake would say was more of a dictator). Being an outcast ended up playing with hyena cubs opening scar to be manipulated by a alpha hyena to unintentionally harm his father. Scar wasn't as distant from his brother but when he reveals scars playmates were hyenas and that he was spending time with one of his fathers sworn enemies. Thinking scar was plotting something his father over reacts, and ends up creating scar.
