For the most part, I would have to agree with the TP on him being a "manchild".
I remember seeing a topic that I think is now in the forum archive about if Scar is actually serious. And I think some were exaggerating their thoughts on that and making it sound like he is more superior in that quality than what the film actually lays out for us.
But I definitely don't believe he's that serious. To be honest, the only two things that really made Scar shine as a pure villain in this LK film was the killing of Mufasa and making Simba think that it was his own fault in causing Mufasa's death. But it was only those two things. Everything else had him mostly immature in some way or form. Be it, "dark" humor, jealousy, etc.
That's not to say that all of the immature stuff about him is bad in itself. I actually find myself laughing at a couple of Scar's humorous lines on the film like, "I'm surrounded by idiots".
But overall and in a sense, the film's creators "failed" to fully bring out the reality of this character if their intention was indeed to make Scar an actual head-on bad guy.
And he definitely has fewer redeeming qualities to me than Timon does when you Only consider all the negative stuff that I've seen people say about my fav. Especially in the past that supposedly makes Timon, "A bad person", because of his minor self-centeredness or outbursts.
