Hellooo everyone what is happening im your host ayman hasan and welcome back to another
video here at most amazing top 10.
In anticipation of the upcoming release of the new Lion King remake which by the way
i cannot wait for, i loved the jungle book, im about to watch Mowgli and im still eagerly
waiting to watch Aladdin so lets just say this year definitely satisfied my childhood
disney dreams, but there is a twist.
What if our beloved lion king was not exactly how it seemed?
What if Scar was actually the good guy?
What if Timon and pumbaa were actually this close to becoming lion dinner?
Before we get into the video i know i dont need to remind you guys but do like and subscribe
to the channel and check out top 10 hindi videos if you havent already, its quite a
good time over.
Self plug.
But anyway enough of my rambling, this is the top 10 scary lion king theories.
At number 10 is Cannibalism.
This was the craziest theory i came across when researching but anything is possible
in the world of Disney.
A fan thread on reddit started by cannedfrogs claims that Scar was actually a cannibal.
During the scene in the cave where Scar is picking his teeth and Zazu is in a cage singing
his coconut song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vifVEg7NepI) you see Scar playing with a skull.
Okay yes that doesnt raise any red flags yet but wait.
Apparently after some research the reddit user found out it was actually a lions skull
he was holding.
And we see him throughout the movie being way skinnier than all the other lions and
during the drought complaining about not having enough food AND this was after Mufasas death
so cannedfrogs and many others think that Scar may have actually eaten Mufasa.
Pretty crazy right?
Killing your brother is one thing but eating him too?
Cmon scar youre better than that.
Coming in at number 9 we have Mufasa The Villain.
People say we always see a story through the eyes of the victor, so in The Lion Kings case,
we see Mufasa and Simba as the good guys cus they lived on to tell the tale and all their
supporters like Zazu retold the same story to us of the hero that was Mufasa and the
villain that was scar.
But theres a theory that Mufasa was the bad guy all along.
Every character has a normal name in the movie like Nala, Sarabi, Simba etc except Scar.
the theory goes that Mufasa gave scar the scar he has on his face when they were kids
and then continued to torment him and call him Scar all his life.
Bullying him into the shadows until one day he couldnt take it anymore..and well you know
how the story goes from there.
At number 8 we have the drought.
Right after scar snakily kills Mufasa, Simba leaves Pride Rock leaving Scar in charge and
a drought envelops the area.
Many fans theorised that it was Simba’s fault that there was a drought to begin with
and not Scars because in this story its the characters who control the weather and not
the earths air pressure and temperature apparently.
Fans claim that all the past kings are in the sky like when we see Mufasas cloud spirit
giving Simba the whole remember who are you are speech.
Simba spends ages with Timon and Pumba in a tropical jungle where it rains quite a bit
and when he returns to pride rock we see the clouds roll in behind him and it rains shortly
after.
For years i just associated the bad weather conditions with Scar and his villainy but
it was apparently because of our hero Simba this whole time.
Who knew?
At number 7 we have the case of Zazu.
Not gonna lie but i loved Zazu in the film, he was so annoying yet endearing that i just
liked his scenes, but one fan theory suggests he was a traitor to Mufasa and was on Scars
side all along.
Zazu is basically pushed around by everyone including Simba when he was just a cub, and
no one really listens to him ever except Mufasa but the theory suggests he grew tired of the
menial tasks Mufasa kept making him do which is why he teamed up with Scar. i mean he was
the only one that was with Simba and Nala when they were going to the watering hole
and even after they got rid of him to go to the elephant graveyard he still somehow found
them and showed up later on.
Now how would he know to go to the elephant graveyard unless someone told him where they
were going.
And the only people that knew they were going there were… say it with me people..Scar
and his hyenas.
Need i say more.
Coming in at number 6 are the Hyenas.
According to this theory, the hyenas in the film are the good guys.
A bit far fetched i know but let me explain.
At the beginning Scar was the only lion helping the hyenas and he told them the other lions
were the enemy.
Naturally the hyenas believed him and thought they were fighting for the good side.
Then towards the end when Scar starts mistreating the hyenas and tells Simba he was never loyal
to them, the hyenas realise that hes the bad guy after all.
Simba throws Scar off the boulder but its not like he immediately dies after that.
If it wasnt for the hyenas killing him and ridding pride rock of this menace, scar wouldve
simply laid low and planned his next attack and the kingdom would still not have been
at peace.
So if anything, we owe the hyenas a huge thank you.
At number 5 is a Timmon and Pumbaa packed lunch.
As his dad, Mufasa basically has to teach cute young Simba what animals are okay to
eat at pride rock and which ones arent.
Which is already weird because hes meant to be the king of these creatures and hes sat
there telling Simba which ones are okay to snack on and which ones arent.
Even the scene with the antelopes, Simba actually asks Mufasa ‘but dont we eat the antelopes’
and Mufasa says yes.
So to a certain degree Mufasa had already told him what he could and couldnt eat before
he died.
And keep in mind that there are no warthogs in the movie aside from Pumba so obviously
Simba never encountered one when Mufasa was still alive.
So really the only reason Simba never ate Timon or Pumbaa.. was not cus he was nice..
Its cus he didnt know he could.
Coming in at number 4 is that Timmon is actually a cult leader.
Small but fierce people small but fierce.
The theory goes that Timmon who is clearly smarter and more charismatic than Pumbaa is
the head of a cult, and unknowingly gets Simba on his side because he knows hes going to
grow up to be a powerful lion.
And when youre that small living in a habitat where anything can kill you a lion is a good
friend to have.
When he sees Simba all hurt and vulnerable he feeds him with his philosophy of Hakuna
Matata, of a life of chilling and no worries and impressionable young Simba happily joins
him.
And for all we know he did it to Pumbaa as well cus lets face it hes not the smartest
tool in the shed.
From what the theory said Timmons goal is recruiting bigger animals by targeting them
when theyre quite young and vulnerable bit creepy and promising them a carefree life.
Coming in at number 4 we have Nala. now who doesnt love Nala, shes Simbas best friend,
wife, the mother of his children, his partner in crime, a kickass woman, you name it Nala
is that.
The embodiment of the perfect 21st century woman slash lioness.
Well the theory is that Scar is actually Nalas dad and Nala and Simba are in fact first cousins
and hence incest.
Not very PG.
According to the theory Scar wanted to be with Sarabi but she was already promised to
Mufasa so in true lion fashion he had a cub with Sarafina in the meantime but never told
Nala. where is the evidence you ask?
Simba is Mufasas son because they both have the same brown eyes and he is literally his
dads carbon copy.
And Nala is the only cub with green eyes and who else has green eyes?
Yup you just answered your own question.
Scar.
At number 3 is Scar as the true hero.
Silence silence just hear out the theory before you hate me.
Now whats really going on with the government at Pride Rock?
Its an oligarchy - a small group of people (the lions) control the whole area and everyone
in it.
The whole circle of life thing is just a way to continue oppressing the animals that arent
lions, and scar is the only poor guy who actually sees this and wants to end it.
So he tries to break this circle of oppression not to be mistaken with the circle of life
by staging a coup to overthrow Mufasa and he does it with the help of the hyenas who
have also been supper oppressed for no reason other than being a bit ugly and annoying.
So really in this theory Scar just overthrew a glorified dictator.
Coming in at number 2 is that Timmon is actually a cult leader.
Small but fierce people small but fierce.
The theory goes that Timmon who is clearly smarter and more charismatic than Pumbaa is
the head of a cult, and unknowingly gets Simba on his side because he knows hes going to
grow up to be powerful.
When he sees Simba all hurt and vulnerable he feeds him with his philosophy of Hakuna
Matata, of a life of chilling and no worries and impressionable young Simba happily joins
him.
And for all we know he did it to Pumbaa as well cus lets face it hes not the smartest
tool in the shed.
From what the theory said Timmons goal is recruiting bigger animals by targetting them
when theyre quite young and vulnerable (bit creepy) and promising them a carefree life.
At number 1 we have Not Really Brothers.
According to this theory, Scar and Mufasa werent brothers at all but just rivals in
the same herd.
Now i have to go a bit David Attenborough Planet Earth on you guys, in the wild in their
natural habitat when the head of the herd gets old another rogue male lion who isnt
part of their herd usually comes and kills him and all his babies and then becomes the
head of the pride.
Prides usually only ever have 1 male lion so because there were 2 in the Lion King it
was only a matter of time before one of them killed each other.
And ofc it had to be the one who was always in the shadows who rises above the other.
Scar even says at one point that im from the shallow end of the gene pool.
So he was literally telling us they werent brothers and we were just sat there with our
popcorn like family rivalry.
And that wraps up this video guys!
I had actually never heard of any of these before except the one about Nala so my mind
was blown when i thought about it and realised ok the lion king may not have been exactly
what i thought it was when i watched it all those years ago.
Let me know in the comments below which theories you think could be true or are true and which
ones surprised you the most.
My favourite was timmon being a cult leader cus its so far fetched yet could be so true.
But anyway thats all from me guys, ive been your host ayman hasan and ill see you on the
next one.
byeee.
