----- The Lion King (1994) -----
I haven't seen this movie in over 12 years probably, the only thing I really remembered from this movie was the sentence "hakuna matata" and that a character died. Not only that, but I was primarily raised with studio ghibli, not so much disney.
Now, watching the lion king fresh being 18, it's for sure not as shocking as it was when I was a kid (shocking, I know). Things like mufasa death is just a little bit dumb IMO. However, this movies has some really great stuff, the songs they include are really cool, I like the thought of the characters really growing older over the movie, representing how they have more responsabilities and their thought process changes
this is the most apparent on that one scene where they're looking at the night sky and timon asks what the stars were. I thought that scene was really neat. Specially for a movei targetting the demographic it does, it really sends a really great message
However, besides being a really good kid/family movie, from my perspectives it was lacking in some aspects, mainly, I can see now that the end of the movie was a little bit forced. Mainly the entire arc of the second half of the movie, where nala finds simba and tells them to come back.
My problem with this arc is that the point is that the kingdom is fucked and they have to come back as they're the true king and they need to fix shit. And they have been years living in that kingdom without any fixes, and they're the only ones that can change this fact. Not only that, but they assumed simba was dead.
If you had what basically was a dictatorship, you wouldn't care about the line of succession then, you would just unionize and drop a giant boulder in scar's head, not only that, butafter the actual ending of the movie, you would assume there would be a lot more problems with the hyenas as they had basically moved permanently to that kingdom.
The movie is still good, it's just not my favourite to watch at this age.

i'd say it could hold on its ownPatatitta wrote:
the only undertale fangame i've tried is undertale II, however I remember bunnrei being hyped for it and that caught my interest, may check it out. Is undertale yellow just an fan-made expansion for undertale or is it like undertale 2 where the game would hold on it's own even if it wasn't a touhou fangame?cephaphysic wrote:
undertale yellow?
it has diverging pacifist/neutral/genocide routes btw like the game it's derived from
