“SCAR...YOU ARE NOT DA FADA” - Rafiki

"I dunno, he doesn't look like you." -"Doesn't he?" *Pulls out hair dye and eyeliner* "Simba, you're going on a diet."

Fun fact: Scar raising Simba was an early idea for the movie.

Bonzai: "He doesn't look anything like you!" Scar: "dOESn'T hE?" **Scratches Simba's eye** Bonzai: "Yeah...like I said, he doesn't look anything like you. Now all you've done is given him an eye infection."

Scar: "You see Simba everywhere the light touches is MY kingdom." Simba: "But...Its always dark and cloudy everyday." Scar: *Sigh* "Fine everywhere the light touches AND the dark touches is MY kingdom." Simba: "Edgy but cool." Scar: "Yes...Edgy."

My lil bro: How did Scar kill Mufasa? Me: *He had the high ground*

nobody gonna talk about how the small voice acting parts for shenzi, banzai and scar at the start were nearly exactly on point?👑

We need the backstory of scar and Mufasa as a spin off series. There’s so many different versions of what scar was originally called and how he got his scar and how the separation of mufasa and scar happened.

This version puts a deeper meaning to "Remember who you are."

You know, this story could...actually work!

Scar totally could’ve killed him, raised Simba to be a puppet king, and then slowly becoming more and more emotionally attached to him and having to deal with the guilt that consumes him. Scar redemption arc but it ends with him sacrificing himself to save the pride from a calamity he created

I think a more interesting idea in my opinion would be to let the movie play out as usual up to Mufasas death. But instead of telling Simba to ''run away and never come back'', he from that moment on starts grooming Simba into his heir. Whispering things like ''Mufasa is gone, he left you but I am here'' and stuff like that. Keeping him away from his mother for years.

Simba: you killed my father Mufasa: Simba, I am your father

14:16 Mufasa: "The hyenas never told you what happened to your father." Simba: "They told me enough! They told me you banished him!" Mufasa: "No... *_I_* am your father." Simba: "No... that's not true... that's impossible!" Mufasa: "Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true!"

Imagine Mufasa saying to Simba "I AM YOUR FATHER" 😂

In this version I feel bad for Simba, I feel like he was cheated out of a life he could have had, only to be replaced by his brother basically got what Simba's life was supposed to be. But this definitely adds more to his character and shows in his general demeanour and reaction to things. Hopefully he will start a pride of his own one day.

Shenzi: I don’t know Scar we’re supposed to convince this thing your his dad Banzai: Yeah he looks nothing like you Scar: Doesn’t he *Pulls* *out* *hair* *dye* *and* *contact* *lenses*

“What if Scar raised Simba?” Then Kovu would have a Matthew Broderick older brother.

Might I just say I love how you guys re-contextualized the quotes “everything you’ve ever told me was a lie“ and “no scar I’m not like you.” It’s funny how changing one element of the story can completely alter the meaning of a sentence.

Walter: It's not something that needs improvement... Doug: Hold my lion cub.

Simba: YOU KILLED MY MOTHER Mufasa: NO, I AM YOUR FATHER Simba: THAT MAKES NO SENSE

What if Scar ate Simba like he would've done in the wild?

I like almost everything. I do think spirit Mufasa has less impact when his death was so recent but that’s my only big complaint. I’d have given those lines to mufasa before death.

I swear, even after all these years, that scene of Scar saying “Long live the king.” still gives me chills.

“He was like a father to me.. I loved him like my son” _wHaT_ _yOuVe nEvEr pLaYeD tUbEr SiMuLaTor?_

I'm so on board with this becoming an actual AU movie.

Mufassa:no scar please! Scar:it’s to late I have the high ground

"FanScription will be right back.." *ad plays*

God damn my edgy sixth grade self would’ve loved this version of the Lion King

The real test? A female beast and a male beauty. I DARE YOU.

That mufasa cloud scene is weirdly connected perfectly to this new story line. Does anyone else agree?

Now THIS is the kind of retelling Disney needs to pick up on. Loved it!

*mufasa death scene happens* My brother:wait what just happened Me: *they stopped animating him..*

Fanscription will return Ad plays: Me:Cool like television

I... really like this. Simba at his core is the same, a good hearted and prideful lion but because of his experiences he eventually became a rogue lion. A good king with no kingdom to rule. I like that.

THIS IS THE BEST FREAKING FANFIC IVE EVER HEARD!!!!!

16:54 ... and then Simba said, “some scars never completely heal.”

Who wishes that they told THIS story for the remake instead of rehashing? Like-Yes Comment-No!Are You Crazy?!MyChildhood!

I really like this! The tone remains more consistent than in the "real" movie, which corrects what I've always thought was a major flaw. But Simba still deserves to be king. So I imagine this being a two-part film that goes in a MUCH darker direction, with Simba growing to resent Kion just as Scar had resented Mufasa. Kion, meanwhile, does not feel he deserves to be king, and he lacks the will to object as Simba begins to turn his young nephew against Kion, just as Scar had done to him. As time passes and the nephew becomes fully grown, Simba begins to realize that he has, in fact, become just like Scar - except that in this case his anger is somewhat justified, because he really IS the rightful king. History has repeated itself, but this time things are going back to the way they should have been, rather than radically changing. This confuses Simba to the point where he finally decides that both Kion AND his nephew are his enemies! So now Kion is guilt-ridden and conniving as he struggles to maintain his (unearned) position, Simba is full of bitter rage at being cheated out of his destiny, and the nephew hates his own father. We have THREE antiheroes all opposing each other! The question then remains which of these three will become a full-blown villain...and events come full-circle as it's the nephew who becomes villainous, killing Kion and forcing Simba to mount an attempt to overthrow his nephew. But on the night before the battle, Simba receives a vision in which Scar's hellish, demonic ghost appears to him and taunts him, revealing that his revenge is complete as he has succeeded in splitting apart the kingdom that was denied to him by his nephew's birth. Simba is now determined NOT to let his uncle have the last laugh, and he makes peace with his nephew, admitting to him that he deserves to be king more than Simba himself does, because he had been manipulated into bearing the sins of the two generations that had come before him. Now it's the nephew who's confused, and he tells Simba that the two still must battle as a sort of ordeal, with their fate left in the hands of the Gods of the Pride Lands, who will decide by divine intervention which of the two of them bears the lesser guilt for everything that has happened. Just then, though, Mufasa appears to the pair as a ghost and reveals that, upon his death, HE became one of those gods! He forgives both his son and his great-nephew for what they have done and urges them to join forces in driving the hyenas out of the Pride Lands. Once this has been done, however, the nephew turns villainous again as he concludes that Simba was right: he DOES deserve to be king more than Simba! The two battle, and Simba ultimately kills his nephew. Now the rightful king is on his throne at last - but he feels terrible about everything he has been forced to do, and vows never to have any children, declaring that he doesn't want any future generations to have to bear responsibility for his mistakes. But then Mufasa appears to Simba again, reminding him that the "circle of life" has cycled around to where it was at the beginning, and now Simba must forgive himself and make a fresh start, doing everything he should have done from the beginning. Simba listens to his father and reluctantly embraces his status as the true king, bearing a son of his own so that the two-part movie ends just as it had began. A very satisfactory conclusion - and, in a way, a happier one that what we really got.

16:45 That pic is terrifying

Honestly, this should have been the plot to the live action remake. Like an alternate universe similar to how they did Maleficent. It would actually make sense to exist.

I thought you meant that after Scar killed Mufasa he would raise Simba as his own and pretty much use him as a weapon kinda like how Zira raised Kovu

The scar didn’t even make Simba look like Scar. A scar is just a WOUND.

I like this version, because the new events put in place actually help scenes like Simba seeing his dad the clouds, and Simba's line to Scar "everything you ever told me was a lie!" both scenes have more weight now and pack a bigger punch than in the original; I think it would actually be pretty cool if a version like this got made, instead of the rehashed CGI animated movie that we got in the theaters.

Channel Awesome: *makes video* AU and fanfic people: Write that down, write that down!

There’s a similar AU I’ve seen called “Trampled” which is basically “What if SIMBA died in the stampede instead of Mufasa.”

Rafiki's hand swiping through the paint gave me CHILLS

I did a What If story on this but a different twist. "What if Simba died in the stampede instead of Mufasa?"

~1994~ Lion king script writers: * does this exact plot * ~2019~ Fanscription: what if Simba had been raised by his true father?

Now I wish that THIS was the live-action Lion King we got, instead of a soulless retelling of the original story.

the animation you added at 16:24 had me dying from laughter 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I find it sad that muffasa didn’t live long enough to see his child grow up 😔

Pretty fun fanfiction. You guys could have this turn into a comic, there's quite a few artists online that can emulate the TLK style flawlessly.

simba: hey that's kinda mean... scar: *iS tHaT a ChAlLeNgE*

Scar literally had the most terrifying death scene in any Disney movie I’ve ever seen

I really enjoyed your version of The Lion King. It was original and we got to see more of my personal favourite character, Scar. I really feel like somebody should make this an actual movie (as an alternate ending, of course). I feel like it would make a lot of money.

God damn this was far better than it ever had any business being. I'd rather watch this than the new Disney movie.

As much as I LOVE this version, I feel like the ending would have been better if Simba and Kion decided not to make the same mistake as their 'fathers' (quote quote) and decided to rule together as two kings. I know that sounds strange, but it would defeat 'first born, second born' rivalries and set down a new standard. The Lion King(s) lol.

I already wrote a my fanmade prequel about Scar's origin. His original name was Hafifu a name that means "weak" and was envious about his brother getting what he has not, the family goods, and hated his father Ahadi for not taking him in consideration. One day Ahadi finds out Hafifu wished to be king and during their conversation his son reveals that he wish to get rid of Mufasa to became king so he scratches his little son face out of anger leaving him a scar on his face and exiles him to the Elephant Graveyard. After being exiled by his father he gets adopted by Raka, the hyena leader, which manipulates him by taking advantage over his sadness and wants to use him as pawn to make her gain hunting rights in the Pride Lands. So he raised him to became a mastermind and nicknames him "Scar". Scar is full of vegeance and plans to turn Pride Lands into a wasteland as revenge for being exiled and mistreated. Scar planned his reintroduction in the Pride Lands by manipulating his older brother's symphaty and succeeds it.

I can actually see this as one of the Disney - A Twisted Tale books. Along with, 'what if Shere Khan raised Mowgli?'

If I were Scar, I would change Simba’s name.

"I raised you! YOUR MINE!" Me: Mom?

I like the voiceover of the characters from time to time. I find them so hallerious 🤣. "Simba said: ""WhaT HaVe I DOne!"""

The straight on drawing of Kion is going to haunt my dreams

I don't know why other people cry with this version of the story, I actually think it would make it to the cinemas. I'd pay money to see this..

Actually this is pretty well structured, makes sense and it’s a narrative that flows good. Actually this is more deserved to see than the live action movie.

I feel like Scar would’ve changed Simba’s name. He hates his brother so much and I think he wouldn’t want whatever name was chosen by him. He could’ve named him something like Ciaran which means dark little one or dark prince. Especially since he’s supposed to be Scar’s heir to the throne.

This feels like stepping into an alternate universe. I like it.

Where where you when Disney was working on the lion king??? They needed you...

So... The Lion King but extra dark? Genius!

You should do another version of this but in Lion king 2 where Simba returns

3:53 Okay THAT...gave me chills. Also the Simba impression is fucking AMAZING. It literally had me doing a double-take every time.

We need the Disney live action movies to have a much more different story. Something no one has heard before. And this fits 100% all the way. You should be the lead story writer at Disney.

I'm sure there's like one million fanfictions of this exact question on the internet.

Please do "Kion's Pride" or the alternate version of Simba's Pride.

Wow this is really well done. I'd pay to see this story as a remake.

Scar is trying to hurt Mufasa right where it hurts...his heart

Kion: Will I ever lose you like you lost Simba? Mufasa: Look at the stars. The great kings from the past look down on us from those stars. Kion: Okay, sure. But you still didn't answe my question. Mufasa: You stupid child, I knew I should have named you Zazu Jr.

They shouldnve used this plot for the remake

Briliant... and it sets up for a smashing sequel!

So...what if Scar did Zira’s scheme first? I think if Scar killed Mufasa and then raised Simba as his own, he’d be in a better position. Sure, he’d only be acting king for a few years, but he’d probably be able to have his own cubs and ensure some kind of true legacy down the road should Simba’s line fall.

Mufasa: *SIMBA, I AM YOUR FATHER!* Star wars ._.

can we just appreciate the voicework here?? These impressions are spot on!

Isn't this kind of like the sequel though, despite you not liking it? Villain raises a cub for revenge and to be the heir. Kovu even has the scar you gave Simba here. Also it's sad to imagine Nala no longer liking Simba and not forgiving him--she really loved him and was the one to set him right.

Am I the only one who got the notification while watching Matpat's film theory on the live action Lion king?

-Before this video- what if scar raised Simba? Me: *thinking that this is a Theory* After this Video Me: *inhale* holy lion cup this is dark. I need a movie!

The music at the beginning of Lion King still scares me it comes out of nowhere

I guess in this version, Scar survived the fall like he did before, but since he didn't try to shift the blame, he also survived the aftermath as well.

You would get Kovu from lion king 2

What we got: this video What we expected: Sarabi: oh Scar you came to see your your brothers son Scar knocks Sarabi out with a club Scar: Edd! Get the hair dye!

It would've been really cool if they did do this for the remake

Scar's voice for this video sounds more like a well-done and perfectly executed impression. Simba's though, sounds like a perfect voice-matching.

The circle of life: Every brother wars or dislikes the other. Mufasa vs Scar Simba vs Kion. This edition breaks the cycle.

Mufasa: you, you are my son. Simba: what have I done? Me: *you killed your father.*

This is what the 2019 Lion King remake should have been; this is way better than what we got.

I’m actually digging this, you need to make this a book

Mufasa: Scar never told you what happened to your father. Simba: What do you mean? Scar is my father! Mufasa: No, I'm your father. Simba: No, that's not true, that's impossible! Mufasa: Search your feelings, remember who you are. Simba: NOOOOOO! NOOOOOO!

Shout out to the voice Actors! 🙌🏾 they are Carrying things in this story ❤

OH, MY, GOD. This was incredible. Very well made. (And fun little fakt, this video is one of the best videos I ever saw and it was published on the same day like my birthday.)
