Idk why I find it so entertaining, but here's some

downfall at the hands of their adoptive daughter who they trained to be just as ruthless as them

They had 30 years to figure this out and that’s the best they could come up with???

In summary, it messes with the previous Lion King Disney movies and show when it comes to timelines, canon, fact, character personalities, etc, not to mention Six New Adventures which granted is semi-canon at best, but the Disney movies and show are officially Disney, so they are canon as far as I’m concerned (granted there are also issues with Lion Guard but those can more easily be explained or ignored bc they’re minor things in comparison to Mufasa). Anyways yeah I have issues with the Mufasa movie. I have come up with my own explanations to make it work. Basically it’s the story of two lions named Mufasa and Taka from countless generations ago, there was actually a lioness named Sarabi, as well as a mandrill named Rafiki and a bird named Zazu. The Rafiki who’s telling the story ended up choosing his own name when he became the Royal Mjuzi to Mufasa, and he chose the name Rafiki after the original Rafiki who features in the adventures of the movie. Current day Mufasa and Scar/Taka who are related to Simba were named after the original Mufasa and Taka from countless generations ago. Sarabi’s parents named her Sarabi for the same reason and since she was betrothed to current day Mufasa from the time she was born. Zazu can simply be a popular name for birds, especially hornbills. Storyteller Rafiki is teaching Kiara, and we know from experience, his stories and lessons don’t always make complete sense and sometimes bend reality and the exact truth. So he could have changed the story slightly to make it more relatable to Kiara, and when she gets older, she would learn the story of the First Mufasa in more detail. After several generations of ancient Mufasa’s pride living in Milele, something horrible happened and the lions had to flee Milele. Several more generations later, the word Milele had become simply a word of legends, and no one remembered exactly where it was or was sure it even existed. Lions return to the land once known as Milele, end up calling it the Pridelands, and voila the dynasty that would eventually lead to current day Mufasa and Taka/Scar and Sarabi and Simba and Nala was born. It’s likely that eventually Royal Mjuzi’s began serving the king of the Pridelands, and they would likely have knowledge of Milele as well the ability to communicate with the ancestors and teach the king and other lions of the pride to do so, and this is how the memory of Milele returned to the Pridelanders.

CAILEE SPAENY and DAVID JONSSON as RAIN and ANDY in ALIEN: ROMULUS (2024) dir. Fede Alvarez

Spoilers: his facial acting was phenomenal. Made me genuinely question if they used CGI to simulate android behavior. Most android characters in film are played very human-like to the point where you often forget they’re meant to be a synthetic. But David Jonsson kept the performance cranked up to a hundred the whole time. The little twitches, the movement of the eyebrows, the mouth articulation!!
