To be fair, they weren't wrong

[–] vankappa@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years 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 71 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 98 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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

[–] db2@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Biblically accurate Shakespeare can't hurt you.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] BigFatNips@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

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

Shakespeare wasn’t one person, he was actually a collection of ~~Bibles~~ monkeys with typewriters writing under a pseudonym

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years 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 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a fun story

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That would definitely require a hakuna matata attitude after Simba gouged his eyes out.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

He wanted that sweet Nalaussy

Sweet Home Alabamussy

[–] SrTobi@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never forget that he became the dictator afterwards

Circle of life good, circle of me better.

"It is what it is"

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

He thought that he killed his father through carelessness not Scar

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Much better

People didnt really watch the movie.

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

Simba never told them what his problems were.

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

Which is the real message here:

Bottle your trauma.

Eat bugs.

Fuck hot lady lions.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Hakuna Mavodka - it means no memories

[–] darvocet 16 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a problem free philosophy to me.

[–] LEONHART@slrpnk.net 27 points 2 years ago

Furry Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: "Just vibe."

"Here, eat a caterpillar, you'll feel better."

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

slimy yet satisfying

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Radical acceptance

[–] mogoh@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's my problem free philosophy, nihilism.

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

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

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Personally, I liked Rosencrantz and Guildenstern better when they died.

[–] MobBarley700@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I have, and it works.
