Re: The Lion King - how do people think about the different animals?

[kaijinscendre]

This questions confuses me because I just think of them as the movie framed them. The hyenas were greedy and violent in the movie so they are bad guys. Plus the goose step marching, lol. The lions were good because they were our heroes.

Though, historically I can why those animals were chosen. Lions are "kings" of the jungle and have been associated with royalty for forever. Hyenas (unfairly) have many negative stereotypes like being scavengers. Or superstitions like being familiars for witch doctors. Plus they do make some creepy ass noises.

Okay, that was pretty much my view… As you say, lions were good because they are the heroes and protagonists. Hyenas were bad because they threatened Simba and allied with Scar, who threatened Mufasa.

The person I was talking to was very adamant that the hyenas are bad because they overhunt and kill for sport rather than to eat. That is disrupts the circle of life. And the lions are good because they only eat enough to keep the ecosystem balanced and keep other predators from coming into the Pride Lands.

And I just didn’t remember that being clearly established in the movie. But it has been a very long time.

Oh, no. That is definitely part of it. The hyenas in the movie are supposed to be gluttonous. They (and Scar) don't respect the circle of life. In a deleted song (it is in the broadway version), Nala tells Scar that the hyenas are forcing the lionesses to over hunt. https://youtu.be/PrDTF7ytycE?si=fcA9ACB4Sqovcg5R

Well, I certainly learned something, thanks!

This. People who treat the characters like real lions/hyenas, etc. annoy me. Like when people talk about how because of how real lions behave, Scar must have slept with Nala. No. Just. These aren't real lions.

Yeah, if this was real, Scar would have killed Nala pretty quickly while still a cub.
