** When Simba's BigNo happens, the lack of facial expression cracks the Critic up, because Simba's expression looks like "the Meow Mix finding out he got traded to Fancy Feast" rather than a blood-curling scream. When it is repeated in slow-motion later in the film, the Critic thinks it makes it even more hilarious.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[Parodied]] in the ColdOpen. The Critic watches a Making-Of Documentary about the remake, which is a Zoom meeting between Julie Taymor (played by Tamara) and Bob Iger (played by Jim) in where Julie discusses her ideas for the remake, which would've taken much more inspiration from the [[Theatre/TheLionKing Broadway show she directed]], by using costumed actors, lavished choreographged fight scenes, using African lesser-known actors and celebrating African culture in a similar vein to Film/BlackPanther2018; even though he was impressed by the ideas, Bob Iger writes the '''opposite''' of what Taymor said, as he was way more interested in making money than giving the audience something new, much to the Critic's disappointment.

* QuestionableCasting: Invoked. The Critic is shocked that they reduced "Be Prepared" to a speech despite the fact Creator/ChiwetelEjiofor can sing while Seth Rogen sings his part in "Hakuna Matata" poorly.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: when Timon and Pumbaa are distracting the hyenas by singing "Be Our Guest", the critic is at first attempting to contain his laughter, but then admits that he actually found the scene funny.
* DumbassHasAPoint: even though the Critic is right to point out the audience is mostly at fault for Disney making more of the remakes, the people he made appear to support this point actaully give out a few valid points that most moviegoers go to the movies to take their minds of from stress, and for most of them, the Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes are a way of doing this.

* EnsembleDarkHorse / TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: like many people who watched the remake, the critic cannot bring himself to hate Timon and Pumbaa, which he even admits to being the movies one saving grace because of Creator/BillyEichner's and Creator/SethRogen's performances.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Invoked. Of course, this one of the Critic's complaints about the remake, going to far as to say that it doesn't even do them right.

*DullSurprise: one of The Critic's main complaints about the film when it comes to the characters facial expressions because of the remake's more "realistic" approach, though he also singles out Creator/JamesEarlJones's performance as this on certain scenes.
*{{Narm}}: Invoked. The Critic sees Mufasa's death scene as this, which he blames on the lack of facial emotion on the characters and the unneccesary additions; he breaks it down as follows:
** When Scar drops Mufasa to his death, unlike [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 the original]] where he simply tosses him out, Scar instead, as the Critic calls it, "bitch-slaps" him before dropping him, which he considers something that middle-schoolers would usually do.
** When Simba's BigNo happens, the lack of facial expression cracks the Critic up, because Simba's expression looks like "the Meow Mix finding out he got traded to Fancy Feast" rather than a blood-curling scream. When it is repeated in slow-motion later in the film, the Critic thinks it makes it even more hilarious.
