Description This is about my theory on Taka and why he did the things he did.

Completed quoted of Lilymud cos I'm too lazy to re-type:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I kinda have this theory that after he got his scar (from his father, I think) he ran away from Pride Rock (just for a night or so) and bumped into the Hyenas in the graveyard.

You know how near the end of the movie Scar blames the hyenas for what he's done;
"It's the hyenas, it's their fault" and the hyenas look really angry and a bit shocked, however to me it seems like Scar has betrayed them a lot more then it seems. I have a strange feeling that Scar was telling the truth then.
That when he met them when he was younger and possible a bit powerless against them they used him. The hyenas probably wanted more power in the pridelands (because they seem very put down in the film, they're not even allowed in the pridelands) and so used Scar as a tool to get what they wanted and Scar eventually got so wrapped up in it that he felt he was in charge but nearer the end when he becomes helpless against Simba he remembered the night he met the hyenas and finally realised he was not controlling this scheme and so he gave the hyena's away. By this point however Simba did not believe him however the hyena's realised Scar had broken the deal and therefore they killed him, even after he survived Simba.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yep, I'm not very proud of this, I was lazy with the shading and background and the whole image is too dark. Schools fault I say, pfft.

Forgive me for the messy blood but I wanted to show that there was some splatter when he got that scar.

______________________________________
EDIT:
Please, please, please, no more comments about 6NA and how Scar really got his scar. Simple,
I KNOW.
I've read them I know that's how he got his scar but frankly I think it's a crummy story. Besides this really doesn't even have anything do with HOW he got his scar anyway, the picture does not suggest anything of that nature. It's more about the events that happened just after he got it, so if you still want to believe it was a waterbuffalo you can.

Also, no offense but the canon is not be all end all of it.
My arguement? If people can go against the canon enough to pair two same sex characters in nearly every fandom I'm associated with, who are CLEARLY straight, then I can come up with my own theories for how characters got their attributes and markings.

On another point, this pic is 2 years old. I don't even draw TLK anymore, so maybe just let it be and enjoy the fanart cos you won't be seeing anymore from me.

A further point, I'd like to geuninely thank all those who left wonderful compliments and well constructed comments and faved the image. It means alot to me, I was always very proud of this piece...ok I just read the above comments maybe I wasn't ALWAYS proud of it lol but I do look back on it and feel good about it so yeah. Thank you once again.

Fun fact in the original story plan for the lion king (originally called King of beasts) Scar wasn't Mufasa's brother but a rogue lion and the true villain in the story was a hyena named Banagi who manipulated Scar to kill Mufasa and let his clan into the pridelands it was later changed to what is now the lion king and Banagi was dropped from the plot so in a way you are correct a hyena did manipulate Scar just in a different story.Β

From what I understand Shenzi was trying to use Taka (Scar) to set her Hyena's up in the Pridelands, so you know what? He may have been telling the truth, it very well could of been the hyena's. Shenzi was after all in Scar's ear the entire time, they met when Taka was only a cub, who knows how long she could been filling his head with all manner of ideas and thoughts.

Actually, Disney revealed in one of their prequel comics that Scar got his injury (and thus, nickname) fighting/rescuing his brother from an angry water buffalo. I kid you not. A glorified (if somewhat psycho) COW.

I like this idea because it makes the hyenas seem more powerful than just some pack willing to do whatever Scar says for a choice cut of meat.

Have you ever read the fan comics by ?
In it, the mother of the three hyenas did manipulate Taka into thinking his family didn't love him in order to gain his loyalty. It's very similar to this.
I personally love the whole "hyena manipulation" idea. Well done

If you read through these comments you'll learn where to find this info.

Search 'Six New Adventures' and 'A Tale of Two Brothers' on google and you should find out more.

Interesting theory. So perhaps one of Scar's final lines had a second and deeper meaning to it!

As for your OLD picture, hah. I like how Scar's turned around a little. Like he was staring at the wall trying to hide, and then fearfully looks over to see who he doesn't want to see. The shadows are very ominous, and Scar's eyes show a lot.

Yes, I know, I've read the 6NA, people can stop telling me that now.

But this is a theory. I always thought the water buffalo thing was a bit crap and just wasn't very original. So I decided to come up with my own story.

edwpumpkinking [2007-02-18 15:28:29 +0000 UTC]

well, actually, its a good theory, and some parts of it are correct, but i have done some research in my obsesive search.
Tka(later known as Scar) is jealous of his brother for getting most of the attention. He does wander off, and he does find the hyenas. The hyenas tell Taka that he should kill Mufasa in order to assure that he will be king once their father dies. The hyenas probably were using him as a tool at this point. So Taka devised a plan to kill Mufasa by staging an act involving either wilda beast, of water buffalo, I can't remember. Anyway, the plan is to get mufasa to come in and try to save him and get killed. But the plan backfires and Taka ends up getting the scar. As a way of remembering his stupidit he asks to be called Scar from now on. So the hyenas had something to do with Scar hating his brother more, but for the most part it was indeed his plot to get rid of mufasa, not the hyenas.
Still a very good theory, and a very good pic, I fave.

Read that story, from 6NA, right?

Yeah I already knew that story before this pic was drawn but I never really liked the idea.

So I discarded 'Tale Two Brothers' and came up with my own idea based solely on the movie.

Thanx for the fav.

Yeah but the original source for that info was most likely the Lion King book collection known as Six New Adventures.

One of the books is called,
'Tale of Two Brothers' and the story is that of which you just told so that's probably where wiki got it's info.
