Monster. How Should I Feel?

The song, I have to say, had a pretty sick concept, if you get it explained to you. Most of the time I watch this and think of the song concept, then think "This kinda fits in, in a way, yet it doesnt in some parts." lol, I'm unpredictable. So, moving right along, there is a HUGE concept in this, and the concept of the video, let me tell ya, doesn't have the greatest ending, though it does tie perfectly into the Lion King and Scars evilness :D

Concept: (CHARACTERS)

Kovu - Scar
Nala - Sarabi
Simba - Mufassa
Kiara - Sarafina
Mufassa - Scar & Mufassa's father

As a young cub, Scar was an outcast. Mufassa always was teasing him and putting him down, when he figured out that Scar liked Sarabi, he stole her away. Their father always favored Mufassa, and labeled him as the next king. When Scar found out he was devastated. When he confronted his father, he lashed out and attacked his son, beating him, and giving him a scar across his face. As they grew apart, Scar and Mufassa began competing for everything. As they grew up, however, Scar became a ruthless monster, whereas Mufassa began to notice his brother's troubling faults, as did Sarabi. She questions him and he is ashamed, but she really loves him and this does not please Mufassa.

So, Mufassa (who is now magically King) exiles Scar from the kingdom, and proposes to Sarabi, and since he is King, she has to say yes. When Scar hears of this it tears him apart. One night while he is out, he stumbled across Sarafina, alone. They talk and he badgers her, ruthlessly. When she tries to escape he rapes her and leaves her for dead.

Mufassa hears of this and is outraged, but only at himself. He realizes he is to blame for this monster. He created Scar, and the villian that he is. He sees what he is becoming, and he knows he must stop him. Then, one night while looking in his reflection, Scar himself realizes what he is becoming. How he is torturing everyone, and breaking everyone apart. Then he noticed, that he didn't care and he wanted it to come true. The transformation was complete. The end of the video is merely his elaborate plan unfolding, him killing Mufassa finally, and Mufassa realizing it was his own fault. As it blacks out you see the enraged adut Simba, where it all simply becomes a cycle, Mufassa turned Scar into a Monster, and Scar killing Mufassa turned Simba into a Monster who will in turn kill Scar.
