Started Watching Mufasa: The Lion King, And I’ve Only Gotten Through Like A Quarter Of It. Going To

Started watching Mufasa: The Lion King, and I’ve only gotten through like a quarter of it. Going to make my way through watching the rest this weekend.

But I’m just gonna say it.

This version of Timon is just… not Timon. Like, at all. I see literally no resemblance in personality or demeanor or attitude or ANYTHING. His lines just sound like some generic, millennial twitter user. He’s got literally NONE of the heart behind the snark that Nathan Lane’s Timon brought to the table.

And you know what? Nathan Lane’s Timon is actually ENDEARING. You get the feeling that the little guy has been THROUGH IT. And you can feel how hard he loves.

Billy Eichner’s Timon just feels like he made “being mean” and “being loud” his entire personality. And oh god, y’all should have heard me grumbling when they had Timon whisper in Pumbaa’s ear that he “doesn’t like children.” FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF.

Maybe I’ll make a real post about this later when I’ve finished the movie and I’m not so pissed off.

Gonna go touch some grass now AHAAAAA 🥲
