I'll be king undisputed, respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am!

I'm pretty sure that line's verbatim the same in "Be Prepared" in The Lion King the animated film and The Lion King the Broadway show. A thing that makes the Broadway version better: it addresses the dissonance between Scar's self-image before murdering Mufasa and the pride et al's actual opinions of Scar well after.

I mean, it does so in a kinda ableist way, and the song that addresses that dissonance—"The Madness of King Scar"—is also the one that gets rapey (which more clearly explains why Nala skipped town), so you may want to stick with the film over the musical.

Attn: Jewish folks who read my journal! I have a favor to ask. Specifically, I have the impression that the "Judeo-" prefix in the italicized sentence to follow is somewhere from misleading to actively wrong. I wish one or two people with active familiarity with Judaism to confirm or deny this.

Haides should not be confused with the Judeo-Christian figure of Satan, for Haides is neither wicked nor a tempter.

(The problem is I really have no idea how much of the whole Satan/Lucifer/etc concept is derived from the Tanakh et al and Jewish thought and how much from the Old and New Testaments and Milton, Dante, et al and Christian thought. I know the Book of Job is pertinent, but that doesn't, like, help. And I do not want this project I'm on to misrepresent anybody.)

Thanks!

ETA: All answered, thank you!
