(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). Imma be real with you, I think Zira is one of the most interesting Disney villains out there, but since she comes from a direct-to-video sequel she's extremely underrated. 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. We never find out what her exact relationship with Scar was in-universe, yet she declares that Scar chose Kovu as his heir before he died. Is she telling the truth? Or is
