(NOTE: I originally started writing this on my Twitter but decided to expand my thoughts here. As the title says, these are just my personal, jumbled thoughts about a villain that I find surprisingly interesting and wish she wasn't so overlooked just because she came from a Disney sequel. In other words: yes, I prefer Zira over Scar xd). (NOTE 2: I'm not taking into account anything stated about Zira in The Lion Guard, this journal is only about the film Simba's Pride and Zira's role in it).

I just love how unhinged she is from the beginning and how in her demented mind she thinks she's "avenging" Scar. I love the ambiguity around her character.
