User blog comment:Ordeaux26/Pure Evil Removal: Scar (Disney)/@comment-2059440-20190916052442

even without the poison Scar is an evil character and would of found some way to become so.. it's in his very nature.. like any of the main Disney villains (yes even Maleficent, who while more sympathetic in her movie is still ultimately evil).

The poison didn't turn him insta-evil or remove the good within him, sounds like it rather enhanced pre-existing evil - which means he really isn't a "victim" any more than character who get abused etc then turn into killers.

tragic events etc do not justify becoming evil beings later in life.
