>You can either learn from the past or run away from it
I'm confused, what was Simba supposed to learn from his past? Don't trust your uncle?

"You don't need to be your father, you can be your own king"

You have it backwards.
It's not that he had to learn something, it's that he had to stop runing from his past

Don't think everything is entirely your fault?

You got it backwards ya silly

Taking responsibility for what happened. Note that it's not until the very end that Simba realizes Scar actually killed Mufasa. He spent the rest of the climax believing he was the ultimate cause of it and still went back anyway to try and stop Scar's rule. The actual mistake Simba made back then was running away from his pain and fear, not trusting Scar or getting Mufasa killed. This is what's portrayed in the movie itself, not just in Simba's mind, as the real problem he needs to overcome.

Dubs of wisdom.

>The actual mistake Simba made back then was running away from his pain and fear, not trusting Scar or getting Mufasa killed.
Honestly, what would have happened if Simba, as a cub, just said "fuck it" and went back to the Pride Lands anyway?

Killed by Hyena politburo, I would assume

or eaten by scar

the lionesses would have protected him and the pridelands would have fallen into war

Depends 9n who finds him first. Lionesses, Zazu or Rafiki finds him, he's quietly brought to safety and some crazy political intrique follows. Scar or the Hyenas? Well
>YA HEAR THAT? IF WE FIND YOU; WE'LL KILL YA!

Yeah like they protected him when scar was backing Simba off a cliff, the lionesses aren't worth shit user.

So we all know that Yea Forums wants to fuck a teenage lion

But what about a lion mother?

tbf Simba was a grown ass lion at the time, maybe they'd have been quicker on their feet if he was still a defenseless cub

Scar would kill him and impregnate all the females, as lions do

What was stopping him from doing that in the actual fi-
>Zira
Oh.

Like fine wine.

Zira was so hot. I knew my strange lust for kats came from something.

>. I knew my strange lust for kats came from something
To be fair there was a lot of sexy kats in cartoons

And yet the message fell apart as the lionesses did nothing when Scar confronting Simba in the climax until they knew Scar was the murder.
The Nostalgia Critic's complaint is still valid.

You also have to think they probably hadn’t eaten in days and had no energy to really do anything

Learn what? If Mufasa didn't die Simba would be the king, there is no evidence that he would be a bad king as well and he didn't make any mistake.

Yet each one of them kicked a dozen of hyena asses what is completelly impossible irl.

Lionesses just watched things go to shit. I don't think their actions are all that relevant to what should be done.

I need more convincing material

Yeah... Like if they believed Simba actually did it, as a CUB!
How this turned out the message convinced me to never be honest with myself and take responsibility for my actions, otherwise, I will be punished by my manipulative uncle for it. Neither my mother AND girlfriend will support me as a result!
What kind of message is that!?

That's essentially how things work in nature tho.

The blame would fall on the wildebeests. They trampled Mufasa. Simba was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I wonder if Simba decided to punish the wildebeests when he became king

not the gay ones

Yoy know when you think about it Timon gave Simba a much better lesson then Rafiki

Not the hakuna matata one, but the one about how sometimes bad things happen and there is nothing you can do about it.

Are there other male lions other than Mufasa in the pride?

IRL Mufasa would have killed all the male cubs that weren't his
In the movie they probably just left to join other prides as soon as they reached adulthood
Maybe Scar killed them to secure his rule after Simba ran away
