fan theory or fact?

There are a few fan theories that are so popular that people decide that they're true, but in this article, you'll find out which theories are fan-made and which are not :D


:




Right then. Let's jump straight in with two extremely popular theories.



First one: How Scar became Scar



Ok then, so theory one is the one that uncountable fans use. Scar used to be named Taka, he was overshadowed by his brother, Ahadi either hated him and mistreated him or just lost his temper with him once and slashed him across the face.



There. Well, suddenly, everyone's like; "I feel so sorry for Scar, because he was abused by his father!!"



Untrue, dear fans, very untrue (If that's a word) These things need to be researched first before you go backing up villains here (NOT that Scar isn't cool!) Anyway...



The theory where Ahadi slashes Taka across the eye is FAN. MADE. For a start, only things in the movie itself should be considered complete and utter canon in my opinion. The name Ahadi came from the now well-known book-series, THE LION KING SIX NEW ADVENTURES, just like the name Taka, which was never mentioned in the film anyway. The thing is, this same book series seems to encourage the idea that Scar/Take was just very jealous and got the scar on his eye from a waterbuffalo when his plan to get Mufasa in trouble failed.



This, as far as I know, is the only theory to Scar's scar in books/ comics. But then again, Disney never actually agreed with these books, so in some ways, you could even say the books were fan-made, just published. You can use whatever name you want for Scar or his father, but there are NO official theories to his scar, as Disney probably never thought about it officially anyway. They never said in the film about Scar being Taka and becoming Scar just because he was abused, and it's not much of a story that Disney would put in children's films; Disney films are usually quite simple, and having the idea that there's a lot more to Scar would just confuse young children and drive them away from the point of the film.



Whatever you say,  the theory that Scar got his scar from his own father is pure fan theory. I don't see it in the movie or in any books published by Disney, so this theory is, and will remain, FAN. THEORY.



I don't mind the theory much, but please remember: There is no solid theory to Scar. We're all just making up "What if's"



 



Second: Kopa



Right then, first of all, Disney was never going to use Kopa in the second film. Kopa is a character from a book series that Disney never even stated that they supported it and was released before the 2nd film. Disney might not have even known about it then, anyway!



Apparently, Disney was going to use a lion called Tanabi for Simba's son, then changed it to Chaka while they gave him a sister-Shani-then decided to ditch the son and focus on the girl, giving Shani the name Aisha, but when they realised that Aisha was the name of the yellow power ranger (I think? Yellow, was it?) they changed it to Kiara and VOALA! BUT. but this may not be entirely true, due to internet not being very trustworthy these days xD So don't think that this is complete and utter fact!!


Kopa was just the author's interpretation of Simba and Nala's son, and like the rest of the TLK6NA books, hasn't been proven true by Disney. You may say that the two lion cubs at the end of TLK and beginning of SP look totally different, and I agree with you, but the explanaiton is that Disney might not have really thought that much about the 2nd lion king film at the time, and just put a cub in there without much thought to it's design to complete the film nicely, so sort of made it look like Simba because they never thought about more specific designs. Someone named it "fluffy" as a joke, but when SP was made, it was made by different people, which might explain the differences,



Have as many fan theories of Kopa if you want, I do as well, but please don't go on about how Kopa is official and should have been used instead of Kiara and how he is the true king....



because he's not even official to the movies.



 



That'll be all *Takes bow*

Lucy > It's possible. I guess fans heard of them, and thought it would be cool to name their versions of Kiara and Kovu's cubs Chaka and Shani. It's true that there's been more and more of them recently o.O

Love it and yes they changed the name Alisha becuase it was a yellow ranger and shani was yellow. How did that happen? Coincidense

Sarabi > It depends. They are official, though they're not official to the movies, so some don't take them as complete canon. Some people think of the films and books as the same universe, while others only take the movie as complete canon. It's a matter of opinion, I guess.

JaffyCat > Thanks :) And yay, it's a word lol

Glameow > Thanks ^^ Good to hear

Meemee > Thanks ^^ It's true, lots of people find a popular theory and immediately decide it's canon. I don't mind different theories, but it's annoying when people think they're official xD

how 'bout i do, anyway?
Good article. I like it. I once thought that scar's scar came from ahadi hitting him was plausible, but i looked at it with an open mind approach instead of a 'whatever this is about is pure canon' feel so I didn't take to it straight away if that makes any sense lol

ElChivato>oh, I never noticed that mistake!! XDD Thanks for pointing that out! And yes, you can believe anything, as Disney's left all this stuff for us to imagine, as long as people don't state that the theory/character is complete and utter canon just because it's popular.
I'll fix the mistakes, thanks!

@ SockWolf:

I don't think this article outlines the truth completely, not as long as those inaccurate statements about Tanabi and Chaka remain in there.

@ tlkcrazer:

It reads there in your article: "Kopa was just the author's interpretation of Simba and Kiara's son,"

I'm sure you meant Simba and Nala's son. ;)

@ Blue Eyed:

If you consider Kopa just a fan character, then you _can't_ consider Ahadi, Uru and Mohatu real either - not without contradicting yourself. But technically you can consider anything you want, look at things in any way you want, as long as you don't parade your own visions as the official truth. All's well when you respect the line between fanfiction and official canon.

This article is brilliant. Outlines the truth completely :)

Exactly a very good point. However, some people think of books and films as one whole universe, though I prefer the idea that all that is technicly fanfiction. It really depends on how you look at things, or if Disney approved of any of these books.

There is just 1 thing I do not get.
If Kopa can be considered just a fan character, then how can Ahadi, Uru and Mohatu be considered real?

September 11, 2012

thanks! And yeah, I've only been picking up bits and pieces here and there, and the internet is never 100% correct so that's quite likely :)

Actually Tanabi is a name by which fans called the cub at the end, before anything at all was known about it. That name has nothing to do with official Disney. And there is no valid proof of Chaka having ever existed nor the cub ever having been a boy. The Facebook post from Tad Stones can easily be a fake, someon impersonating, and likely is, too. Because there is no official information of him ever being part of TLK2's production.

For all we officially know, the cub was always just Fluffy with no decided gender, until it became the daughter.

But otherwise, nice article. :)

Love the article. I'm not a Kopa believer or fan. It's true, Kopa is fanfiction. I think Scar could have got his Scar from his father or Mufasa. Ahadi is not necessarily Scar's father. People can make up what they want, but should not parade it around as real canon.
