Top Ten Reasons Why People Should Stop Crying Over Mufasa's Death

He was a hypocrite who forced a species to starve for no good reason, throws a temper tantrum over his own brother not attending the birth ceremony of his son and did not let his son go to the dark place where he wanted to go. His tyranny was the reason why certain characters became villainous.

You know, fantasy, make-believe, fiction. Don't let this get to you in real-life. There is a difference and a separation between what's real and what's fiction.

Kokichi is a fictional character, but at least he died in an attempt to save everyone and at least we knew him longer. Not that I hate Mufasa.

It doesn't matter if they're fictional or not. If you like them and grow up watching them, it's gonna sting.

Mufasa's death or any other event in TLK isn't connected to any real scenario. If your parents are alive and well like mine, then they cannot connect with Mufasa.

Thank you for not crying over the death of a fictional character. *applauses*

Deaths sadder than Mufasa's:

1,517 people who died on Titanic
Marley's death from Marley and Me
Old Yeller's death from Old Yeller
All deaths in Danganronpa (Especially Kokichi and Gonta)
9/11 deaths
World War deaths
Black Plague deaths
Robin William's death
And so much more!

To be honest, I don't find Mufasa's death sadder. There are Disney movies that tend to have a sadder death, which sets to tears. This one? Nah. :/

Tons of fictional characters die during their story in various movies, games and books many times. Get over it.

Everyone: thinks Mufasa's death was the saddest fictional death ever
Up: Hold my beer.

"My Little Dashie" is so much sadder (even though Mufasa's death is sad still)

There are sadder scenes out there.

There was no blood or gore during this scene. So why act like a crybaby about it? Geez Louise.

*inserts the trope: Disney Death*

It's less violent people, so calm down please.

It wasn't even a real crime, either.

WickedBinge put this death as "most sad" and "most grossum" disney parent death.

I think the main problem is that The Walt Disney Company took it too far with the hyenas. Yes, a hyena was kind of a dick in Lady & the Tramp, but they are satanic in The Lion King. Hyenas are only evil in The Lion King. The Lion King has epic animation, but who cares as much if the animal portrayal in TLK is THAT unrealistic?!

I know. >_< How TLK viewed spotted hyenas is much worse than any other portrayal of a real animal species. Instead of using just a few individuals, it used the entire species as villains, with the evil trio cliche as the icing on top of that cake.

Just because Walt Disney made a mistake, doesn't mean that researcher should SUE them!

Guys there is ONE good hyena in the lion king franchise. Renber that one good hyena in the lion gaurd?

Respect all creatures? Yet when he hears news about hyenas being in the Pride Lands, he goes and chases them out.

Not to mention he used his own majordomo as a target for his son's pouncing lessons.

But he was brought up that way...

But he was raised that way...

Because in real-life, a male lion would kill cubs to mate with the female.

Agreed... Too many people have an unhealthy obsession with the movie that they often forget about everything else.

Get over it already. I mean come on.

This movie is 14 not over 20

No it is 29 years old

And I am hoping they will learn to separate fiction from reality and not act like babies during this scene.

That is true. For some reason, the Lion King fans' pants turn into diapers and their voices turn into baby sounds whenever Mufasa dies. I really wish they didn't act so doggone immature over a fictional scene with fictional characters.

What's sadder? A parent dying, in which it literally happens in every single Disney movie? Or Kokichi dying in DRV3 to save every single person from a game they didn't belong in.

I never watched this movie...
But mufasa is the saddest animated death I watched...

So is every single death in a animated movie!
