To be fair, they weren't wrong

[–] vankappa@lemmy.world 45 points 7 months ago (3 children)

yeah he could've just stayed there and enjoy the chill way life there BUT he chose to help the lion clan that was under the dictator and the hyenas, so he chose to save his people. Like something in the bible probably

[–] Ross_audio@lemmy.world 70 points 7 months ago (3 children)

It's based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 98 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Shakespeare wasn't one person, he was actually a collection of Bibles writing under a pseudonym

[–] db2@lemmy.world 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Biblically accurate Shakespeare can't hurt you.

TO BE AFRAID OR TO BE NOT AFRAID? That is the question

Alright, be a little more afraid than that

A bunch of Bibles in a 16th century trench coat

"I'd like a cup of mead."

"Are you 21?"

"I'm 21... Bibles."

"And before they could nail him to the cross, Jesus immediately vanished before them. All who saw this were amazed. Then a voice from the heavens, sounding as though it were the son of God spoke saying, 'The better part of valour is discretion.'"--The Gospel According to Sir John Falstaff

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 40 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's based on Kimba the White Lion, which is based on Hamlet, which is based on an episode of The Office (US).

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And that episode got its source material from Game of Thrones.

That kolanak guy is going to be sad when he sees your username.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

We've crossed paths for months, he taught me how to do it, lol.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 months ago

Sounds like a fun story

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 8 points 7 months ago

I'm waiting for The Lion King based on Oedipus.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

yeah he could've just stayed there and enjoy the chill way life there BUT...

He wanted that sweet Nalaussy

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 7 months ago

Sweet Home Alabamussy

[–] SrTobi@feddit.de 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Never forget that he became the dictator afterwards

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 59 points 7 months ago (2 children)

He thought that he killed his father through carelessness not Scar

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"I think I killed my dad and ran away from the only family I've ever known"

"Have you tried not fucking worrying about it?"

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Much better

People didnt really watch the movie.

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 46 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Simba never told them what his problems were.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 41 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Which is the real message here:

Bottle your trauma.

Eat bugs.

Fuck hot lady lions.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 20 points 7 months ago

There’s a reason they didn’t call the movie The Lil Lion Bitch

So it's like Mad Men but with lions.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

This also wasn't his problem. He thought he killed his own father, and Scar was his friend who gives good advice.

[–] EvilTwin@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hakuna Mavodka - it means no memories

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 16 points 7 months ago

Sounds like a problem free philosophy to me.

Radical acceptance

[–] mogoh@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

Well, running away and trying not to worry is a major config of the film. It is basically dismissed as not the solution for his problems and consequential a bad philosophy. Or at least one could argue that.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Isn't that the moral? Some things are out of your control....

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

Yes, they handled the orphan child very well in this situation and raised him into a functioning member of society

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That's what it is about lemy. You are all control freaks. It's very unappealing.

[–] MobBarley700@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Hollywood logic: I know, let's sing a song!

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

It's my problem free philosophy, nihilism.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I have, and it works.
