Yeeaaahhh... I'm a bit disappointed, judging by this trailer. Having Scar be an internal struggle for Kion instead of an actual villain would've definitely been the right way to go. Janja being the one to summon Scar is pretty dumb and meaningless, honestly, and it throws away the whole "He lives in you" concept, which is the entire basis for the "magical aspect" of The Lion King -universe. Also, Scar is summoned as easily as throwing some random new Rafiki's apprentices' (whose design still looks off to me, btw) stick in a volcano? Kinda weak. Also, if that was Scar's laugh at the end we heard, I'm not terribly impressed with his voicing, either.
So far it looks like they're blowing this. Question is how badly. I'm not usually super petty with these things, but this might be a make-it-or-break-it deal as far as me continuing to watch the series goes. If they completely butcher Scar, who might be my favourite villain of all time, I'm not sure I can enjoy the show beyond that.
