[quote="Todd23"]"...he [Scar] seems to lack common sense a lot of the time...letting the same hyenas who botched killing Simba the last time kill him again"[/quote]
I feel the strange compulsion to point out that it actually
wasn't a mistake for Scar to choose the same three hyenas who had failed in their first attempt to kill Simba to execute the task
in a second attempt, because Mufasa was the reason for their failure in the first attempt, and he was dead in the second attempt.

Now there's a reason they call it the "cat walk." Scar was a felid.
He had them so convinced that Sarabi actually might have believed it when Scar accused Simba of being a murderer: "Tell me it's not true!"
I attribute Scar's rash decisions to impulsivity, not lack of intelligence (DGFone knows I made a post about that *evil Scar-style wink* Thank you DGFone.)
