Scar would be a more powerful and physical threat than his animated counterpart (though Mufasa is still stronger than him) and is more like the 2016 version of Shere Khan. He is even strong enough to fight Nala and the lionesses all at once and defeat them and instead of trying to flee from Simba he lures him in order to kill him. He even puts up more of a fight than he did in the animated version where Simba barley manages to defeat him. At one point when Simba has him at his mercy instead of begging and attempting to blame everything on the hyenas he instead teases Simba into doing it and tells him to kill his own uncle but Simba instead spares Scar and tells him he is not like him.
