Artist Marco Bernard turns the Lion King characters into anthropomorphic versions of themselves
- Thread starter The Artisan
- Start date
Why does this art get an article and thread?
An issue I have with it is that nothing about these designs encapsulates the charcters except for Scar and the hyena. Nothing about that Mufasa looks kingly, regal, or fatherly. Just some dude-bro with tribal tattoos. How am I supposed to respect that? Same with Simba.

This is literally LESS FURRY than the source material
That was true for the original animators too:
The artist appears to be a traditional anime influenced illustrator with huge talent but it's extremely weird that the author (apart from bein "shook" by the most common mashup of art and subject matter on the Internet) has apparently never heard of or been exposed to furrydom.
that's the buried lede for me.
"pop culture expert last person on earth to discover decades old ubiquitous pop culture"

I highly doubt they're just discovering this subject matter. This approach probably reads better for more article engagement and shares, I'd imagine.
maybe, but her audience for sure and even my mum have been exposed to furrydom at least as a joke or oddity.
I prefer his other stuff. Reminds me of Don Bluth but with a pinch more grit and humanity.
Yeah, the weirdest thing about the remake is that they removed the human-like features from all of the characters.
Yeah, he says in the article that he watched Beastars and thought of drawing Scar as the leader of the mafia lions. Even with that context, doesn't parallel cleanly with the other characters though.
Mufasa might be too zaddy here.
Disney moms ... 😩
Keeping tradition

You could always add a poll to make it democratic.
"Is this the worst thread of the year? Yes/Probably"
Why does Mufasa look so dudebro? Scar however looks exactly how I would expect lol - MCU Loki in human fashion.
Edit: is it just me or is Nala holding a bag made of Zazu's feathers?

Yes I could do that, but not only would it be democratic, but it would be irrational. What exactly is it about this thread that is so bad that it makes it the worst? Is it the fact that this fan art exists? Unless we're talking about the content of the thread, how is that a bearing on the thread itself? So essentially, that hypothetical poll would be interpreted as voting toward the drawings (and how they make you feel), not the thread. If anything, you could say it's the worst OP of the year.
And here I was thinking I was gonna make it through the thread with a straight face. Damn you. XD
Rafiki should've been dressed like a pastor.
Shenzi looks like a furry version of Sami from Advance Wars.

People drawing anthropomorphized Lion King characters in the year of our lord 199- uh, 2020? Never!
All of ERA actually took a vote, and it was a historic unanimous decision.
