Actually no he told this wrong:

In the original ending, Simba fights with Scar and throws him off Pride Rock. Scar is left dangling and calls out for help, and Simba, deciding to uphold his moral code, helps his uncle up. Scar, upholding his evil nature, immediately throws Simba off the cliff, but Simba survives the fall. Scar is so busy gloating that he doesn’t notice the rising flames, which then kill him.

in tragic irony, Scar fell victim to his own rockpile of broken promises to keep the hyenas well-fed.

"too dark for the final movie"
The movie shows a child trying to awake the liveless corpse of his dead father I dont think it was too dark

[Angelflutelife]

And apparently holding onto a branch living is too dark, when scar literally falls off and burns to death

[DingFlingDingFling]

And the normal ending isn't dark?!

[itzdaisyyx]

have yall watched the lion king "Mufasa?"
if you have.
fun fact:taka was actually SCAR!

[ATRaine]

Nah they made the right decision. As far as darkness goes, NOTHING beats that sinister laugh from Ed as he licks his chops.

[burashidx]

That's because disney had something darker in mind 💀

[TamlaPearsey]

Simba treated his Uncle Scar so horrible. Took his roar, and turned the lionesses against him.

I think the real reasons why they didn’t keep that ending was because it was not justified. as it’s a kids movie, all kids have learned that good always wins over bad. So I guess that’s the real reason

[Ollie-dv]

I watched Lion king 1 and 2 I love simba

[ENM]

Lol, too dark?!!!! Oh really? But having scar been thrown off of a giant cliff and into a pit of burning fire, only to be eaten up by hyenas that he was once partners with, but the first ending was too dark? 😂😂😂😂😂

[marklouis]

They should have kept the original ending. That would have been interesting

[KMC-kx]

They recycled what originally what was Gaston’s death for this movie

[keepitup]

That’s actually way too dark for kids movie

[naomimiller]

do a video where Rafiki throws simba off pride rock

[robynmarler]

That's almost exactly the same as theatrical cut.

[squirrel-]

Scar met his end indeed! However his hide ends up being worn by Hercules so all is not too bad! And yes.. He actually does... watch the Disney movie Hercules and see it for yourselves folks!

[garycrane]

How is that scrawny old lion gonna beat Simba?

[qjones]

Nobody cares! I’m happy with the ending that we got!
