Hades and Megara
It’s too perfect, man. The lord of the Underworld, fighting his suddenly out-of-control minions?
Hades would obviously be one of the raddest characters in The Walking Disney.
The writers would keep him around for a while, but he’s too good for this world.
The wit, the outbursts of anger juxtaposed with an otherwise flippant attitude — they’d find a way to bump him off just to make the fans suffer.
Our guess is a contrived arc in season four involving newcomers being mistrustful of the god of death (but why?) and finding out a way to send him back down with the still dead.
Meg, smartly, turns on him to save herself.
So, a bow’s reload time is too slow to be an effective weapon, but a crossbow’s just fine?
Amen.
Do you think the writers will explore the incest between Nala and Simba, or just brush it under the rug like the movie did?
Ha. This was humorous.
Nala was not his sister. So it wasn’t incest. Still, she was a close cousin. Still creepy
Nope, she’s his half sister. Lion prides have one breeding male; in this case, Mufasa.
LOL, that comment about Merida is just so off. A crossbow’s load time is EVEN SLOWER. And by the way, Merida isn’t a modern archer…thus she would have the skills of ancient time archers, which is some crazy skill. Seriously… Look up speed-shooting with a bow, and then look up wartime archers and what they could do with those things. A bow is superior to even a gun in the hands of a truly skilled archer who can fire in extremely quick succession, and even fire multiple arrows accurately to hit 2 or 3 targets at one time. They can fire at an arch, hitting targets accurately over walls or within crowds, and much much more.
Actually, since it’s actually the FEMALES who are in charge, they can and do sometimes get pregnant by other males and nothing is done about it. But all in all, it shouldn’t be “creepy” as long as they’re lions, because even as half-siblings, it’s pretty much how it would happen in real life. The UNrealistic aspects of their relationship is that it’s monogamous.
In the recent Lion Guard episode, it was established that Nala’s father was another lion who mated with Sarafina. Nala and Simba are not related in any way.
Not to mention a bow is a little more practical because it is relatively easy to make more ammo, and it is a quiet weapon that wont attract a whole lot of walkers.
Right. The ammo is reusable, and if you do eventually run out, you can make more. And a really good bowman would be able to compensate for any poorly made arrows with adjustments in their technique.
So… Lions as humans are automatically black?
Well, that was an amusing read…
in random commentary to the random thing I stumbled across…
My only issue is the bit about Merida.
That kid was bad to the bone with a bow. And she knows how to fish, hunt, track, trap, and oh! Don’t let me forget to mention she fought a giant near-immortal bear. And lived.
Further more? We know she can reload that bow wicked fast. And with power. I wouldn’t nock her use of the bow, at all. So…
C’m on. That kid makes it through season six, easy.
Well, seeing as the setting of the Lion King was Africa, yes.
This post had never seen the walking dead!
Okay but with Kristoff, in the text it said he was holding Annas head but wouldn’t that head be Hans?
Other than the people who keep putting this crap out WHO IS ASKING FOR IT?
NO ONE
Society would lose absolutely nothing if people like this ceased to exist
NOTHING
“Err, what if Fred and Barney grew up in the 16th century”
Yea, everybody NEEDS TO KNOW THIS GARBAGE..
“unrealistic”?
The topic is LIONS THAT CAN TALK…..
WTF is with Bell’s top? Who in their right mind would choose an 80’s front to back wedgie leotard to fight zombies in!?
So….. if Sven is the group dog, what does that make Stitch? And Merida could make for a good sniper, 10k In Z nation used a cross bow and he survived just fine….sort of.
I really need this to become a fanfiction now, I wouldn’t want to be on the wrong end of Malificent’s chainsaw, I love Aurora’s polite little pinky finger on the end of her bat holy hell.
Human Nala looks hot!
I like all the designs!
The Black Cauldron- source of the outbreak.
So many luscious heads of hair… So many grabbable handles for walkers…
If that’s the case Mufasa should have eaten Nala for not being his.
I get all the Merida love, the author is way off on her not being able to survive with a bow. I also dispute Peter Pan. He’s a skilled fighter in close combat and his weapon of choice is a short sword, couldn’t be better for walkers. His inability to age and strengthen over time would be his undoing, but definitely a survivor of season 1.
Arrows are actually NOT easy to make. Yes, the arrow-heads and feathers are easy enough, but the shafts are the hard part. Why? Sticks simply do not grow that strong or straight in nature… so you need to take a much larger piece of wood and carve it down to size… and unless it is *perfectly* straight, it’s useless. If you want shafts that are not wood (like modern fiberglass or plastic) you need special tools and manufacturing for that… which are hard to come by in the post-apocalypse.
No…no they’re not anywhere near as hard as you’re implying. You think people in ancient times and aboriginals had special manufacturing tools that someone today couldn’t make?? They don’t pluck sticks off trees, they use saplings, which DO grow plenty straight enough for an arrow. Try actually doing some research into how aboriginals made arrows before you start acting like they’re some crazy high tech ammunition.
A masochist?
Now that would also imply all Africans are black…
actually the reload time is slower for a crossbow
Yeah, I know; I mean the above to be read sarcastically/incredulously, since when they’re talking about Merida they claim that a bow’s reload time is too slow to make it useful, but they’re fine with Daryl toting a crossbow around. Alas that I have yet to find a way to make sarcasm come through on the Internet 🙂
They are, if you consider that we’re talking about peoples who originated there… Kind of like I’m Irish (caucasian?) American or someone else is Asian American. You don’t lose your ethnicity just because you are a citizen of another place.
There’s no way I would run around with so much exposed flesh… especially the squishy bite-able parts.And disregarding bites, having so much skin exposed to scratches and the like is one way to allow deadly infections happen.
According to actual science, we are all from there. Which is probably nonsense but makes you wrong nonetheless.
If you’ve never fired either, then a crossbow would be a better choice.
I’ve used both, and though I’ve practiced much more with a bow (I own a recurve, while I’ve only used a crossbow that belongs to a friend), I’m inclined to agree with you. Way easier to use under pressure (especially for a mere hobbyist like me) and packs a much heavier wallop. However, the sticking point for me was the article’s comment on reload time. I get that a crossbow is in many ways a more effective weapon, just for very different reasons. And given Merida’s evident skill with a bow I think she’d be able to put it to fine use in a zombie apocalypse situation.
Ok, Abu should be missing an eye and Hades should be toting a Louisville Slugger wrapped in barbed wire. That would make perfect sense to me.
Lion King was (most likely) set in Kenya, which has a majority black (specifically Bantu) population, with a very small Arabic, Indian and European minority. Would be kind of weird if the two Kenyan characters weren’t black.
