This post is so old that the kid is probably in her 40s now.

What kind of parent has already shown their kid Lion King at age 2 wtf

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

My thought exactly

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I think sad ppl eat more cake

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah, no one would wanna tear some cake up because they're sad

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if this is a big brain move or a precursor to a sadistic.

Kid's just on the right side of history.

There are no just kings, the end of Mufasa and his literal reign of terror is cause for celebration.

3! = 6

Not very impressive this time..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I read it as 3 != 6 and thought "well, yeah, what about it?"

People let less-than-3-year-olds watch The Lion King?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes. Circle of life and hakuna matata are great songs. Besides, Hamlet is a good story. Or the Northman or whoever was first.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking the same king. Media consumption for a 3yo, total, per day, should be less than 30 minutes. And probably should not include The Lion King, cartoon or not.

My issue with it wasn't screen time, it was the disturbing death scene.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's never too early to teach a child that the only good king is a dead one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Better turn it off after "hakuna matata" then, I guess!

Another lesson!

Don't let the prince escape without at least witnesses to his abdication!

To be fair, Scar ordered Simba killed, too. It was the hyenas who failed to finish the job and lied about it.

...Actually, that reminds me: the "Be Prepared" villain song ruins the anti-monarchy lesson. Specifically, the line:

Idiots! There will be a king. I will be king!

So yeah, even watching any part of The Lion King fails at teaching that lesson. You'd have to pick a different show entirely (maybe *Kimba the White Lion, LOL).

Honestly betterr than what I was watching, who the fuck lets a 4 year old watch fucking Day After Tomorrow? And thats on the lighter side, I still cant enjoy Japanese horror because my mother decided that watching the original Japnese version of the Ring with her small child was a great idea. Just glad I grew into slashers.

Fuck that, cut me a slice right through the middle of mufasa

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I’ll eat the Simba!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Yeah, kids are mean little fuckers. Most would love this cake.

TitleAlso came here to say that . Beat me to it .

You get an entire cake to yourself but it's covered in fondant. Congrats kid, you played yourself.
