**** But...the problem is that Scar and the hyenas have directly caused prey species to be ''under''populated. Foliage should be growing out of control without herbivores to eat it.



** It’s a remarkable example of logical fallacy. Scar bounds the definition of “murderer” to the lone fact Simba played a role in his death. This is technically true, since it is for saving the life of his son that Mufasa jumped in the middle of a raging stampede, but he abusively concludes to the fault, and thus, guilt of Simba, like if the stampede had been entirely Simba’s plot to bring forward the succession. Of course, Simba rightly denies to be a murderer, but without disconcerting the bias of Scar’s argumentation. Then, we cut short to the next scene, so there is barely fifteen seconds before Scar’s own admission, prompting finally the lionesses to react. Thanks to this short time span, the argument of “lionesses too shocked to think” may hold ground, especially if you add the fact they just learned a minute ago (except Nala) that the prince thought to be long dead is alive. That makes a lot to process. So, meanwhile, they prefer not to intervene in the two males “duel”, as it is tradition. But it's right you can seriously wonder what Sarabi is imagining when she exclaims “It's not true! Tell me it's not true!" Personally, I would need a long explanation to understand how a little cub may have caused the death of a big-built lion like Mufasa.

** That lack of food and water was the hyenas' own fault. They were known for overhunting, that's why Mufasa banished them. Then again, if that was the reason, they refused to acknowledge it and blamed Scar for it.

*** He meant Simba's and the rest of the pride's enemy, not his.

*** He meant Simba's The movie shows the way the lions treat the hyenas is justified. They were banished for overhunting, something which risked driving the preys to extinction. When Scar said that, it seemed to me he was being a FakeDefector, and the rest of the pride's enemy, not his.hyenas failed to see it (or they did and used those words as an excuse).

** The hyenas could've still given him the benefit of the doubt and thought "Maybe he did it because we have nothing to lose. He wouldn't have done it if we did". The [[TheLionKing2019 live-action remake]] gives them a better reason, as Scar said he was going to kill them in the end.
