Theory about why Scar is so popular

[DARIAS93]

Why's Scar so popular?

Well, for me, the name reminded me of "Scar" from The Lion King.  When I was watching it, I always figured he was hiding underneath that mask, but alas he wasn't.  It would have been a shocking if he was though.

Would you have preferred that?

[OpenMaw]

Would you have preferred that?

Having Jeremy Irons voicing a Predator? **** yeah. Jeremy Irons is awesome in everything he does.

"Long live the king!" *slices Lex*

[DARIAS93]

Would you have preferred that?

With a movie this bad, anything is preferable.  I wouldn't mind having Jafar underneath that mask either.

P.S. - Would you prefer a less intimidating, toy-looking Predator face rather than the face of a badass cartoon?

[DoomRulz]

Yeah. It would've made the film that much more ridonkulous.

[DARIAS93]

I prefer ridonkulous than bad.

So is Scar the Alien King or what?

(Forgive me for necro-ing this thread, but it seems like a potentially interesting conversation)

It's been said more or less throughout this thread, but in my own words:

Scar is what teenage girls want the Predator to be.

This is what the Predator actually is.


Also, one thing I noticed no one mentioned is his eyes. Scar's suit actor didn't wear contacts (to my recollection) and therefore gave him a more...humanly emotive look rather than the colder and more menacing eyes of the previous Predators.

Ian Whyte's eyes are dark brown I'm pretty sure, but they still opted to go with a less animalistic colour.

[Mister Skeezler]

Absolutely agree on the eyes. That was the first thing I noticed when I watched that movie.

In the side by side you can also notice the unnecessary addition of the small teeth in the primary (?) mouth. The original preds had two fangs on the top and bottom, giving a more "insect" appearance to go with the mandible look, which makes it much less human. Scar has two full rows of pearly whites, which humanizes him far too much.

Jesus scar looks terrible in tht picture. The folding skin between the mandibles is so poorly done, its just all kinds of wrong.

Don't get me started on the eyes, even though you could sometimes see the skin around kphs eyes its still infinitely better than scars.
