Such a baffling choice. Who did they think they were fooling?

me
god hes so handsome
Numerous female talk show hosts have stated how hot Simba and Kovu were...but heaven help the guy who says Nala, Sarabi, or Zira are attractive. Another societal double standard.
>You now remember that actor that mentioned he wanted to frick Nala
>1st cousin romance
Tecnically he is Simba's cousin
You're looking at it the wrong way. The movie doesn't want to fool you. They want you to realize that Kovu's Scar's son, with very flimsy lines to say he's toootally not (but you know he is, right guys? Wink wink)
They're first cousins once removed
I'm pretty sure at least one of lines was poorly dubbed in later. The mouth movements don't match
Simba also fricked his cousin
>movie pretends he's hot
That's what I read, send help
Just looking at his design it’s clear Nuka is Scar’s real son. Clearly Kovu was supposed to be one half of history repeating itself, with one son being favored and the other jealous, but then they realized Kovu being Scar’s kid would make him Kiara’s cousin so they tweaked it. Obviously the question remains then, who is Kovu’s real father? Because Scar was apparently the only male in the pride for years, but there again the first movie was never concerned with those questions either because it’s a narrative for children. Regardless, Scar has a surviving child in Vitani so there’s that.
Maybe Simba was a big fan of war rape of defeated foes
It'd certainly explain the seethe that is 'My Lullaby'
'When I think of what that Brute did, I get a little TENSE'
>Disney: Oh no, don't worry, they're not cousins. They're half-siblings
10/10
See? Disney knows how real lions get down. Thinking adults get this. Little kids don't. Disney back then made movies for EVERYONE, and surprising accurate to nature in some cases.
what movie?
Don't ask dumb questions you can answer with a quick image search
How did he inherit the scar?
He didn't, his mother or something else scratched him.
After Nuka got killed during an attempted ambush, Zira blamed Kovu and slapped the shit out of Kovu...then gasped in surprise at how similar the wound made him look to Scar.
A lot of people who only have a cartoon-based knowledge of how claws work on skin complain that that couldn't have happened because she caught him with a lateral swipe instead of a vertical. Those who understand claws know that the movie was actually kinda accurate, physics-wise: claws don't slice through things like razor blades. They sink in, snag and tear flaps off. If Zira hit Kovu overhand, she would have torn half the skin on his face off, from forehead to cheek. A grazing, sideways impact has a much higher chance of leaving a similar wound to what Kovu received.
Fascinating.
He's NOT, biologically. Scar was genetically inferior, but highly functional. Nuka's his biological son and was just a mess, apparently with neurological impairments as well as being underweight and uncoordinated. Zira and Scar learned from that, and Zira was allowed to wander and mate with healthy males to get Vitani and finally, Kovu. Scar realized that he needed a healthy male heir and was unable to create one himself. His goal was not biological, but ideological, so a genetic link wasn't needed, just a unified purpose.
Maybe you saw this movie too young and were still kinda dumb. I was 20 when I saw this and understood during the first viewing. Disney back then didn't just make movies for stupid little kids. They made it make sense for thinking people of older ages, too.
I hope this is bait, but I do believe you're that annoying and confident in yourself while being wrong about how genetics works
Just confident. The annoying part is your perception. That's the ONLY reason Scar wouldn't have killed Vitani and Kovu. He needed healthy kids that weren't his cuz he puts out defectives.
Genes don't become defective to that degree in one generation dumbfrick, He was Mufasa's brother so degeneration to the point of high probability of defective youth over that timescale is impossible. It would also rely on Scar accepting his genetic inferiority, which he would not do. He says he was at the shallow end of the gene pool only in terms of brute strength; he's proud of getting the lion's share of the brains and his vanity and hubris are such that he would absolutely not give up on his host of little Scars after one attempt, even assuming Nuka's problems were immediately apparent before he'd even start conceiving others
Watch more Lion King
I do know that the host of little Scars line is not canon to the movies if anyone wants to nitpick that
Whether or not that's entirely true, Scar apparently felt that was the case and gave Zira permission to get knocked up by other lions, cuz Kovu ain't his. Deal with it, son.
If you're following canon, none of them are Scar's cubs and Zira wasn't even Scar's mate
If you're headcanoning that Nuka is Scar's son you might as well headcanon that Kovu is too
I'm not gonna deal with it when 'it' is your weird halfway headcanon
You know...there's discussions where you can find out from the production staff how accurate I am. If you care to look. I find that most people online actually DON'T care to inform themselves, and would rather debate you with their OWN headcanon.
Well actually I wrote the script for Simba's Pride so hard luck son
The story doesn't make any sense if he's not Scar's son.
>I hate you because you were raised by people who were friends with Scar 20 years ago when he was still alive...?
It makes sense, it's just not as strong
>I cannot love you because you have been groomed to be the successor to the rival political faction, one which was responsible for the death of my grandfather and which my father overthrew
He was his bastard son, obviously. You just have to have two brain cells to figure this out.
Kovu, Nuka, Vitani and Zira were all clearly supposed to be related to Scar but that had to change because then Kiara would’ve technically been Kovu’s cousin implying incest romance.
>muh braaaains
Scar is a perfect example of why nerds should have no power. Chads are automatically smarter even if they had smaller brains anyways.
