How can villains and bad guys be so attractive?

Scar (The Lion King 1994)

My favorite Disney villain

Played by-Jeremy Irons

There is something about a man or in his case, a lion who desires power that is so attractive. Scar has a way of making everything he says sound so charming. Along with that long dark mane and those mesmerizing green eyes. His determination and mysterious nature are another reason. There is also his sophistication and calmness. Maybe it's also his singing and the fact that he is played by the handsome Jeremy Irons.

Lyrics-

I know that your powers of retention

Are as wet as a warthog's backside

But thick as you are, pay attention

My words are a matter of pride

It's clear from your vacant expressions

The lights are not all on upstairs

But we're talking kings and successions

Even you can't be caught unawares

So prepare for a chance of a lifetime

Be prepared for sensational news

A shining new era

Is tiptoeing nearer

And where do we feature?

Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid

But you'll be rewarded

When at last I am given my dues

And injustice deliciously squared

Be prepared!

It's great that we'll soon be connected

With a king who'll be all-time adored

Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected

To take certain duties on board

The future is littered with prizes

And though I'm the main addressee

The point that I must emphasize is

You won't get a sniff without me!

So prepare for the coup of the century

Be prepared for the murkiest scam

Meticulous planning

Tenacity spanning

Decades of denial

Is simply why I'll

Be king undisputed

Respected, saluted

And seen for the wonder I am

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared!

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared!
