He seems smart until towards the end. He totally freaks out when Simba reappears, makes a thin excuse about "the pressures of being king" which Simba actually manages to take down with 4 words: "are no longer yours". Then he says "The hyenas think I'm king" to which Simba andc the lionesses STILL overpower him Later, he is seen BEGGING Simba for he life, sniveling that he "is family" and that "Simba wouldn't kill his dear old uncle". Yeah right. Great way to beg for your life, considering he didn't give a Mufasa---who was also family---a chance.
And then, obviously, he ends up fighting Simba; I hear some people claim the reason he did so well was because they were evenly matched cause Simba "just ate insects", but I doubt they really put any thought into that; Simba has a very decent, neutral build, similar to the lionesses, which goes to show how much thought they put into his diet. The script, BTW, has this quote...
"As an adult, he's not as well-built as his father was, presumably from growing up on a diet of insects... "
that's like saying I'm not as well built as a bodybuilder because I starve myself. Even if I did eat, I wouldn't be as well built. Mufasa looked REALLY, REALLY, good, so it's expected that Simba wouldn't look as good. His body doesn't reflect his diet at all.
Sorry I strayed from Scar.
