My Lion King Forum

I've finally had time to catch up on my LG episodes. Doctoral degree and end-of-the year teaching hasn't lent me a lot of time for TV. Anyhow, my favorite part, as usual, was Fuli, "We're with you, Kion" I did love the cave paintings in the beginning telling about Scar and it is true that Timon and Pumbaa distracted te hyenas to help Simba defeat Scar, but hey Nala had a big part in that to! I am a bit disappointed that Kiara hasn't had a bigger role, at least a "Hang on, Dad." I expected a little more romantic moment between Simba and Nala I love the little TLK nods such as Kion nudging Simba the same way Simba did when his father died

My big question, if Scar is flame, and they were all right next to the volcano couldn't he have burned the whole guard? I get it would been the end of the guard, but it makes sense for Scar being flames to burn them to death.

How I have/see(n) it is yes, he could've ended it there but "Where's the fun in that?"
Scar loves to mess with his family:

We know Scar's MADE of flames, but we don't really see him use it as a weapon. Maybe he can't. Maybe he's as capable of hurting someone as a Hogwarts ghost, just like Mufasa seems to be? Maybe lying about how dangerous he is post-mortem is the only way to scare allies into obedience? Imagine if everyone started just ignoring Scar, could he really do anything about it?
