Meanwhile Simba has a perfectly good mother.

Twice a widow 😏

That looks like the headshot she used to get the part to play Simba's mom.

Hey I've seen that video

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

(Yes. I know I have a dark sense of humor)

Honestly, maybe not the easiest concept for Disney to pull off when more than a hundred of their films (a little over half) have a main character with one or both parents dead or missing. Even with just the ones on the box, Ariel's mom is dead, Max's mom is dead, Tiana's dad dies off-camera during the movie, and we all know what happens to Mufasa.

Wait what happens to mufasa? He lives to the end right? He's a strong father figure for Simba right?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

It's ok, Simba gets two gay dad's and everything works out fine. Hakuna Matata!

He went to the store to get milk. He’ll be back any day now.

Poor Mufasa is taking a while because he got stuck in transit. A bunch of gnus causing a jam or something

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, LINUX plus GNU. GNU is just one replacable suite of libraries ,not an operating system unto itself. It is but another free component of a fully functioning Linux system made useful by the vastly complicated hardware to software communication protocols. Shell utilities and "vital system components", are not enough to be called a full OS , as much as some 80s guys that created POSIX would like it to be.

It's better than Beat the Kids. The government frowns down on that.

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

Can we at least all agree that the best game in this franchise is Beat the Meat?

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

it's so funny how you just know that was the proposed title at first and someone pointed it out and that's how they fixed it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I watched that movie when I was 9 and feel out of the loop. Was there a Jerry Springer moment I totally whooshed?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

!Mufasa dies at around the midway point!<

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True but it's not canon and all in good fun like Super Smash. I think Ariel is funnier because she has all sorts of reasons to want to kill her dickhole of a dad

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

True but it's not canon

Mufasa dying isn't canon? The fuck are you saying lol

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

The game isn't canon.

Which...okay whatever, weird comment...but that's what they meant.

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

Disney is planning on retconing the original lion king so they can make new movies unhampered by existing lore and tell the stories they want to tell.

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

Hard to beat the parents if they’re fucking dead

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

Or super easy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I sings about wanting to be king and then his dad dies?

He didn’t do it though so, I’m also a little lost. Unless they are talking about real life lion pride dynamics again.

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

I think the joke is just that his dad is dead

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

"Long live the king."
