I've actually thought about this a lot and I feel like the fact that, from a human POV, Simba actually does respond to his father's death by essentially dropping out of school and going to live in a stoner house for like ten years went right over most of our headshttps://twitter.com/n_lea/status/1249053118991454208 …

The movie itself kind of muddled this since when Simba flees the Pridelands it's because the hyenas are chasing him and they straight up say "If you ever come back we'll kill you" so Nala calling him an irresponsible coward isn't 100% fair

Spending a decade actively finding ways to not process trauma is 100% real.

Nala's reaction to finding Simba is such a relatable moment if you translate it into a human context "THIS is where you live? THAT'S your job? THESE are your friends?"

"Yes, Nala, they're my friends because they don't judge me and I don't judge them" "And that includes hygiene?"

An apex predator somehow surviving by eating huge amounts of insects is kind of like finding Prince Akeem from Coming to America working at McDonald's

(The Lion King is a direct reference to Coming to America, both movies have James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair as the King and Queen)
