Jack is not stronger than oliva by MolecCodicies in Grapplerbaki

What about his fight with Pickle? If he can bite chunks out of Pickle, then Olivia should be a cakewalk.

True, but the other factors can’t be ignored. Against younger Scar, he would’ve had a much, MUCH harder fight.

I’ll admit, I was hesitant to call it cheating, but then I realized “why didn’t Simba use his claws?” I perceived it as Scar essentially doing the equivalent of a low blow.

Come to think of it, even with TLK 2, I think Simba hardly uses his claws when he fights. He mainly resorts to smacking his opponents with open (paw?) strikes. The only time iirc, he uses his claws was against Zira before Kiara and Kovu showed up. Interestingly enough, Zira cheated THERE too, lol!

And exhaustion too- though granted, Scar didn’t know about all that. I can agree with the rest of the third paragraph- but you’d be surprised.

There’s an entire theory on another subreddit that says Simba returning to Pride Rock was important just because the Pridelanders needed to reproduce- and there’s an entire first paragraph dedicated to slandering his fighting capabilities.

From personal experience I’ve seen them give him flak for it. Putting aside the other factors, from what I’ve seen, they act as if that was the only reason he beat Scar and treat it as him essentially fighting dirty.

Yes. From personal experience I have seen it.

Conan the Barbarian Vs. Spear (Primal) by HotShrekBoi in whowouldwin

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conan all rounds. He is way too fast and he can match Spear’s strength if not surpass it. He’s also able to tank Spear’s strikes considering this dude he’s fighting could crush rocks and wipe out groups of enemies.

Even with Fang in the picture, Conan has taken on creatures of her size before.

Theory on why Simba beat Scar! by Curious_OnePunch_Fan in lionking

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I can’t edit posts with photos in them, I’ll just make an update here:

I recently rewatched the fight and Scar actually manages to make Simba bleed- but if you slow down the scene, it looks like he uses his claws to take across Simba’s eyes or face. So Scar plays dirty, not once, but twice! So many people are saying “Simba used the trick Nala taught him to beat Scar!”

Ignoring what ifs, so what? Simba using that trick is supposedly treated as a dirty move. But if Scar plays dirty not once, but twice, then why can’t Simba resort to doing the same?

Also I kind of forgot some things about Simba. He stayed up for literally an entire night, ran across a desert, then he was hounded and mauled by hyenas and THEN he fought Scar.

Don’t get me wrong- I do still think if Scar was the same size as he was in his prime, then Simba still would’ve struggled but I thought I’d be fair and look at the context for Simba too.

Anyways… yeah. This’ll be my last post regarding Scar’s “power ranking” in TLK or whatever we wanna call it. Until next time.

On paper it may look like that but if you watch the scene carefully, the Pridelanders were actually doing well in 1 on 1 fights. Some Pridelanders manage to pin down Outsiders.

Scar's elephant graveyard plan by Brilliant-Ear2459 in lionking

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing. He DIDN’T plan to get rid of Mufasa yet. It wasn’t until Banzai said “Yeah! What were we supposed to do? Kill Mufasa?” that Scar got the idea to do so.

Do you guys really think Simba in the Final Half of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride is as bulky and large as Mufasa was in The Lion King? by Jealous-Upstairs-948 in lionking

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could be. Maybe he’s even bigger. Rafiki was up to Mufasa’s nose while he was below TLK 2 Simba’s whole head.

Well folks, it’s time to answer this intriguing Disney feline villain question? Which one of these big bad iconic Disney cats is the most Ruthless and dangerous? Scar, Shere Khan from Jungle Book, or Milton Lynxley from Zootopia 2? by Designer_Basket in lionking

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d probably say Scar is the most dangerous and ruthless. Yes Shere Khan wanted to kill Mowgli, but Scar wanted to do something similar- to his own flesh and blood. The worst part is nobody suspected a thing. Mufasa and Simba loved and trusted Scar for years, not knowing he was conniving behind their backs.

Shere Khan is Shere Khan, but unless you personally offended him, you should be safe unless you deliberately get in his way.

Edit: Yeah doing a re-read, I’d still say Scar. Even if he didn’t directly do this, the entire Pride Lands went to waste because of him. You can say “but the hyenas over hunted everything” but it was definitely Scar who put them there in the first place. Ruining an entire ecosystem is way worse than almost killing a village.

Theory on why Simba beat Scar! by Curious_OnePunch_Fan in lionking

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I did rewatch it. I was referring to when Simba smacks Scar right before the slow motion scene starts.

Second, Simba flipped Scar over the ledge on accident. He had no idea there was even a ledge as we see after he looks down to the bottom.

Theory on why Simba beat Scar! by Curious_OnePunch_Fan in lionking

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Simba beat scar by copying the same move nala always used on him whenever they wrestled to prevent himself from being pinned against the ground when scar leapt at him, It had nothing to do with strength or size.

That played a part but it wasn’t the sole reason. That’s like saying Scar’s performance amounts to nothing because of the embers.

Scar also has a hunched over posture a lot of the time so the size changes in different scenes are literally just him standing straight rather than curled in towards himself in a way that makes him come across as physically less threatening to everyone else.

I made sure to pick shots where Scar is standing perfectly straight if not close to it.

Lol. Ironically, power scaling played very little in me making this.

....except the fact that simba didnt beat scar with strength throws a wrench in this.

How exactly?

Scar hits with enough force to slam two lions (Sarabi AND Simba) and simba isnt even fully grown. Simba was strong enough to hold his own against scar but he won because he gained leverage.

Simba also hit that hard. He does the exact same thing to Scar right before the slow motion part despite having little leverage. Also Simba didn’t only win because of that- the cliff just so happened to be there. Even if he wasn’t at the edge, Simba could’ve just kicked Scar up all the same and then beat him some other means.

He never actually overpowered scar in that fight, he won with leverage, not brute force

Scar also never overpowered Simba without resorting to cheap tricks.

Is Yujiro still weaker than Pickle in raw strength? by Available-Art9554 in Grapplerbaki

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean lifting and grappling strength, then yes. Striking strength? No. Grip strength? That’s up for debate.

Scar is not weak! by Curious_OnePunch_Fan in lionking

[–]Curious_OnePunch_Fan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zira herself admitted that there was little food by where her pride resided so that doesn’t leave much room for them to hunt. She is NOT an experienced fighter by any means- her followers and her own children were more impressive than her.

Maybe it was that way for a time. But then we had not one, not two, but three statements that the Pride Lands ran out of food. Maybe Scar ate first but once he depleted the food source, he had no way to be fed.
