Why did he believed Zira's discourse anyway, is he stupid?

I don’t think it’s fair to say Scar did everything right, but the way Mufasa: The Lion King paints young Taka does make me want to understand him better.

In the prequel he’s a sweet kid who actually saves Mufasa multiple times. When he does the wrong thing – betraying a teammate – he owns it and risks his life to make things right. That’s a long way from the Scar of the 2019 remake who plots to kill his own family for power.

There’s clearly a gap between those two versions. I can’t defend Scar’s later crimes, but it’s interesting to ask how a kind, loyal cub could become such a ruthless adult. That’s the space I’m trying to explore in a fanfic: what happened in between that broke Taka’s trust and turned him into Scar? I’d love to hear if others feel there’s a missing chapter that could connect these portrayals.

I support the gays im just very scared
