    Ask yourselves, how can leaders that condemn a massive percentage of their population to starve, only to slightly improve the lives of the few elite that the story chooses to follow, be considered heroic? How can the leader that allows the masses to survive for the entirety of his reign, at the expense of the ruler that oppressed them, be considered villainous? How can an occurrence as natural as the weather, and its effects, be blamed on an individual? How can ending an elitist society, in favor of a natural balance, be considered evil? How can someone that takes into account the needs of the many, not just the few, and acts to provide those needs, be considered a tyrant? How can someone that maintains support of half of the former elite society be seen as an unjust king? How can a leader that removes the slightest traces of progress that occurred previous to his rule be viewed as a just, fair, and kind ruler?

    Voters, if any of the above questions were answered with something to the effect of, "they can't", or, "they shouldn't", then you must accept that you have been mislead about the role of these characters. Once again, I will ask that you allow yourself to take a step back from the dramatic tone of The Lion King. Let yourself examine the facts objectively, and to develop your opinion based on what you have observed here, not based on what the film wants your opinion to be.

    Whether you now agree that Scar was wrongly viewed in the film or not is now out of my hands. I would like to thank my opponent for a heated debate, which has actually strengthened my opinion on this issue. I wish him the best of luck in the polls, and I would be more than glad to debate again if one of us should find an intriguing question. I would also like to thank the voters for their consideration of our arguments, and I greatly anticipate seeing whether I was successful in expressing my views, or whether Con managed to hold on to your opinion of the film.

    Yeah, but...Scar just used the hyenas’ disdain against the pride as motivation to fight for him. They were only ever expendable pawns in his quest to become king.

    Scar and Jafar are not the same!! Jafar is purely focused on himself and amassing power for purely selfish reasons, did you not even read the debate? SMDH at you all.

    Scar didn't help the hyenas, as they killed him in the end. Also, all other animals in the kingdom flourished under Mufasa's rule but perished under Scar. No, I'm not reading anything else
