2. Scar Gets Eaten By Hyenas - The Lion King (1994)
Uncle Scar didnt only kill someone - he killed his own brother, in cold blood. And then he pinned all the guilt, all the blame, on his brother's son. Everything about Scar screamed evil. During the Be Prepared sequence, he had his hyena henchmen goosestepping like Nazis, and near the end of the film, he struck Simbas mother across her face. Charming fellow, that one. His death was perfect; Scar was trapped by his own cowardice and hypocrisy, and he was eaten by the very hyenas that he manipulated. It was the only conflict that Scar couldnt talk his way out of, and he paid for that in painful, righteous fashion. Have a good feast guys! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y9mTMnpvQQ
