Dispite my best efforts I simply cannot stop thinking of the implications on the larger The Lion King canon of various sources that Mufasa has (a movie I have not seen and refuse to)
#mufasa#the lion king#the lion guard#I simply cannot stop thinking#like it鈥檚 a whole movie of retcons and rewrites and bullshit#and I refuse to actually watch it and give a single view to the live action cgi bullshit directive#but I keep seeing clips and I am obsessed with thinking of what ifs#and what the events of Mufasa have impact on other knowledge we know from the other movies#and the lion guard show#babblestar#and generally like everything about it#scar leading (perhaps even being the one to FORM the lion guard)#wanting at first to show forgiveness and dedication to protecting mufasa#but yet again continuing to only surround himself with males#scar despite it all adopting a stray of his own in Kovu#simba almost making the same mistake that killed his own father#in not forgiving the lion that initially plotted his demise but then changed his mind#scars anger growing when bloodline didn鈥檛 matter when mufasa took the throne#but it DOES matter for simba destined to become king and succeed his father#how easy it is to understand why zira and others sided with scar as rightful king#when mufasas rule was still in living memory#perhaps the cobra bite in the lion guard is not where scar got his scar#but when taka truly turned into scar. the venom amplifying his jealously and pushing him past the point of no return#scar despite it all continuing and continuing to trust and work with outlanders. outsiders. strays.#kion being sent away mirroring scar even further. and him finding his love successfully another mirror to scars failure with Sarabi#I hate what they did to Sarabi in this movie btw. they just made Nala again. they should have made her different.#she also says some shit very sure about mufasas Destiny To Be King just because she likes him better than Taka#also the idea she was part of a royal family and thus assigned Zazu completely defeats the idea of Mufasa being king from no royal blood#cause Kovu married into the royal family through Kiara so like. it鈥檚 not a new pride it鈥檚 just Sarabi鈥檚 pride still#no wonder scar tormented zazu so. zazu deserved it tbh

This really yanks my chain Death doesn't violate the laws of nature, it doesn't break the transference of energy, it continues it. When you die your corpse fertilizes the ground, allowing plants to grow and the cycle to continue. It's mufasa's circle of life speech. And as for the part about thoughts and memories, newtons laws of physics don't apply to non-tangible things like emotion. Even then we live in an age where all your thoughts and ideas can be shared and stay Long after you pass. As for the part of religion, there are still many things that even science can't explain, like your bogus interpretation of death if we pretend it's valid. But even Things like why the galaxies continue to spread apart, how our planet and the human race developed show evidence of a higher power. (Also, religion is way to different to have a multi- faith chapel. Frankly that part disgusted me the most.) But then you have the audacity to believe man will create heaven and put the consciousness of people who have been long dead into it? You need brain tissue! You can't just use the skeleton of George Washington and bring him back! Man doesn't "break the rules" they use the rules to their advantage. Whenever man IS foolish enough to try to break the rules, the universe or God or what have you severely punishes man for being so arrogant. Maybe you heard the tale of the tower of Babel? Oh no wait religion is just "to explain things we don't understand" so you probably haven't. Also i hate the end, her views haven't changed and when asked "how has this changed you then" she goes "it just did, alright?" Also nice job trying to tug at people's emotions to forget how dumb this all is "Oooh everyone's dying but there's "amazing Grace" in the background it's so poetic" I can tell this person never was in an accident, because no one after such a traumatic event thinks so selfishly and faux-philosophically I hate this video and i hope the creator learns to actually understand the values she talks about and not the "I'm woke" interpretation

My Absolute Favorite Part of Disney+ Is Sharing It With My Daughter
Like many 80s babies I know, I have a solid collection of classic Disney movies on VHS. I'm pretty sure they don't sell VCRs anymore, so it's a good thing that my mom is kind of a hoarder and saved one of my old TVs that has a built-in VCR. When my mom found out I was pregnant, she excitedly bequeathed that hunk of junk to me, reminding me of all the special times we spent watching Disney movies together. As kids, my brothers and I could get out of going to school by begging my mom to watch Lady and the Tramp in her bed, and it's still a joke we use today to get out of adulting. I was looking forward to sharing those types of memories with my daughter, but wasn't envisioning that Disney cuddle session until she was at least three or four years old. I am so happy to say that I was wrong! My daughter is 18 months old, and we crush Disney movies together. Don't tell my mom, but I rarely use the VHS tapes. The TV is small and the picture, obviously, is a little blurry and doesn't grab my daughter's attention. Also, now we have Disney+. It's totally surpassed Netflix as my favorite streaming service. Disney+ starts at $6.99 a month and for that price, you get access to every Disney movie every made from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to the live action Lady and the Tramp, plus the whole Marvel universe, Pixar movies, Nation Geographic shows, and all of the Star Wars collection. I'm sure I sound like a big Disney nerd, but when I saw the long list of titles available, my jaw dropped. When Disney+ launched, I knew exactly where to start. My go-to is The Lion King, so I sat my little girl next to me on the couch one afternoon and put it on. I hoped we would get at least through Simba's intro to the Pride Lands before she lost interest, but she was hooked the whole time (minus a few breaks to try to eat a crayon, get water, etc.). She was waving her little arms to all of the songs and doing her soft lion roar at Mufasa, and I was basically weeping with joy. I have so many vivid memories of experiencing Disney movies with my mom, my brothers, and my friends, and it is amazing to watch my daughter start to make these kinds of memories. Related: When I Want Some Quality Bonding Time With My Kids, I Turn to This 1 Activity I love introducing her to the timeless stories, and even more to the strong female leads of more recent Disney movies. I want my daughter to know that if Moana can leave Motunui, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti, she can do anything she puts her mind and heart into. Obviously, my 18-month old is little young to process those kinds of ideas, but you better believe I am giving her those lessons the whole time anyways. Since my daughter is younger, I have yet to put in place any strict parameters around screen time. The AAP suggests about an hour a day for a child my daughter's age, and most Disney movies aren't much longer than that. But from my point of view, she gets so much stimulation during the day that I don't think a movie in the afternoon will harm her. My only rule is that we're watching it together, snuggled up on the couch. It is a really special bonding time for both of us. I love to think of my daughter looking back on these memories like I do. Snuggling her on the couch and watching her face light up at Snow White, hearing her say uh-oh when Shere Khan comes on screen, or hearing her little roar at Mufasa makes my heart explode. I want her to know that those times will always be sacred to me. That if she needs a mental health day, she can ask to watch Lady and the Tramp in my bed, and I will always say yes. That if she ever needs a safe space to sit quietly and cuddle, we can pop on a Disney movie and fly off to Neverland together. http://bit.ly/36rbpiv
