Zira obsessing over Scar and revenge for 6 minutes straight

Lion King 2 is so underrated man... I grew up with it and looking at it now, it has awesome messages throughout the film. Zira is also underrated af. I'll make a highlight video about her in the future 👍🏽

I'd like to imagine Scar watching this happen 90 percent of the time and going "I have no idea what she's talking about."

[ToppyDreemurr]

It’s actually scary how Zira was that obsessed with Scar she would rather die than accept to join the pride

Can we talk about the contrast between Zira's death and Scar's death?

Scar died helpless desperately trying to convince the hyenas to not kill him and begging for his life with Simba before that, Zira was offered help yet she decided that killing herself was better than the mercy the people that killed Scar (in her mind) offered.

Scar's death occurs while everything is on fire, Zira dies in the water.

Scar died because of his betrayal, Zira died because she was too loyal.

Scar and Zira are, in a way, opposites from each other despite both being villains and their death's reflect that.

“I did nothing-” “EXACTLY.”
Why did I bust out laughing.

[signna]

No cause imagine growing up in Zira's pride 😭

[nattiedraws]

holy shit, the things they cut out of the zira death scene, whoa holy fuck that added so much in just little nonverbal things, wow. just, wow

[hollyccomb]

Zira definitely runs a Scar stan forum on tumbler and her pride members are the users. And you know for a fact they be doxxing Simba and sending death treats to his (remaining) family

[startheangel]

I still believe Scar and Zira was mates of some sorts why else would she obsess over him? He overhunted and caused the pridelanders to starve and didn't care

[vixymix]

Honestly it isn't too surprising someone can end up like this.
This is why it's important you never put someone on a high pedestal, you have to think critically and openly. Zira was likely too influenced by her infatuation with him, and more then likey she believed propaganda he could have spread.

[vixxdaemon]

God. This deleted scene of her whispering "No. Never." is absolutely chilling. Wish they kept that part, really would have shown her obsession with Scar better. TLK2 is such a great movie there's not one character I dislike in there.
Also ironic how Kovu ended up becoming king, or more like being Simba's possible successor to become one, just not like how Zira would have wanted.

"This is gonna go perfectly."

Immediately cut to Nuka's death: "This did not go perfectly"

I'M SORRY THAT WAS SO FUNNY

[TheJoeschmoe]

Zira was literally the only person who believed Scar was "ten times the king Mufasa was."

[rosevee]

Here's a fun idea.. what if the final version of Zira's death was Kiara's way of coping? She was traumatized by Zira willingly throwing herself off the cliff so she convinced herself it was just oh, she slipped and fell and I couldn't save her. It was an accident. Seems like something Kiara might do. And since she's the only one who saw it happen, the others just take her word for it and it's "canon".

[esthetiqueweeb]

I never realized how super obssessed she was with Scar as a child like did he even know she existed? 😭

[SirBarracuda]

I love how you kept the deleted scenes for this video, it really does add to her character

[sleepingcryptid]

Although her character is a little more obsessively than insane loyalty like I thought before, I can't help but have a soft spot for Zira

[mtdreamcatcher]

I really like Zira as a character, she's got a powerful presence and weight in the story. I do wish they explored her story more, like why was she so obsessed with Scar? Why did she end up in the outlands(yes I know that answered that in the Lion Guard but it was super vague). I feel like they could have redeemed her or just made her less evil so she wouldn't be a constant threat. In the movie they explore Simba's trauma, I feel like they could have done something similar with Zira. Like Scar manipulated her, which we know he's great at manipulation, so having a scene were she realizes everything Scar told her was a lie and seeing Scar for who he truly was, could've been a powerful one. Maybe after that she rejoins the Pridelands or she heads off on her own. But I still adored her character regardless, just would've loved to see more

Zira in another way is like one of those mothers who emotionally replace their spouse or partner with their child

[jaelyyymar]

I actually wish they had kept in those first two deleted scenes. It would make Kovu’s actions make more empathetic, and actually show why he might feel attached to a literal dictator.

“Scar and I were close... *very* close...”

...ma’am this is a Disney Junior show
