To be fair, they weren't wrong

yeah he could've just stayed there and enjoy the chill way life there BUT he chose to help the lion clan that was under the dictator and the hyenas, so he chose to save his people. Like something in the bible probably

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.

[–] [email protected] 99 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Shakespeare wasn't one person, he was actually a collection of Bibles writing under a pseudonym

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Biblically accurate Shakespeare can't hurt you.

TO BE AFRAID OR TO BE NOT AFRAID? That is the question

Alright, be a little more afraid than that

"And before they could nail him to the cross, Jesus immediately vanished before them. All who saw this were amazed. Then a voice from the heavens, sounding as though it were the son of God spoke saying, 'The better part of valour is discretion.'"--The Gospel According to Sir John Falstaff

Shakespeare wasn’t one person, he was actually a collection of ~~Bibles~~ monkeys with typewriters writing under a pseudonym

It's based on Kimba the White Lion, which is based on Hamlet, which is based on an episode of The Office (US).

I'm waiting for The Lion King based on Oedipus.

That would definitely require a hakuna matata attitude after Simba gouged his eyes out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never forget that he became the dictator afterwards

He thought that he killed his father through carelessness not Scar

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"I think I killed my dad and ran away from the only family I've ever known"

"Have you tried not fucking worrying about it?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Much better

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

People didnt really watch the movie.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Simba never told them what his problems were.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which is the real message here:

Bottle your trauma.

Eat bugs.

Fuck hot lady lions.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

There’s a reason they didn’t call the movie The Lil Lion Bitch

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

So it's like Mad Men but with lions.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

This also wasn't his problem. He thought he killed his own father, and Scar was his friend who gives good advice.

Hakuna Mavodka - it means no memories

Sounds like a problem free philosophy to me.

Radical acceptance

Isn't that the moral? Some things are out of your control....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, they handled the orphan child very well in this situation and raised him into a functioning member of society

Well, running away and trying not to worry is a major config of the film. It is basically dismissed as not the solution for his problems and consequential a bad philosophy. Or at least one could argue that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Personally, I liked Rosencrantz and Guildenstern better when they died.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's my problem free philosophy, nihilism.

How did it work for you in Afghanistan?

We spent over $2.4 trillion in Afghanistan for 20 years while the poor in America went without food, medical care, decent schools. The water in the Black-majority city of Flint was poisoned by the Governor. A thousand people shot by the police in the U.S. each year.
