Disney's new prequel, The Lion King: Mufasa, tells the story of Mufasa's journey from cub to king. The film explores his relationship with Scar, the explanation of key characters like Zazu and Rafiki, and Scar's motivations for his villainous actions. However, the film's portrayal of Scar's descent into evil is criticized for being shallow and ultimately harming the character. The prequel also reveals that Mufasa's lineage is not as grand as previously implied, being born from common blood.
and brought home a box office haul of $1.6 billion, it was just a matter of time before Disney tried to squeeze a few extra bucks from the franchise. However, instead of greenlighting a sequel, Disney followed the opposite direction and funded the prequel story of Mufasa .has a lot of ground to cover, as it tells the story of Mufasa from cub to king. In addition, the movie also explains how fan-favorite characters such as Zazu and Rafiki joined the royal service.
Taka is ecstatic to find another cub, as he always wanted a brother. However, Taka’s father, Obasi , wants nothing to do with Mufasa; the king believes having a male cub around could threaten his own son’s path to the throne. As a result, Mufasa is raised by Taka’s mother, Eshe , who teaches him how to hunt and track like a lioness. Taka wishes he could spend more time with his mother like Mufasa does, but Obasi forbids him; the prince’s place is at his father’s side, not with the females.
That’s it. That’s the whole reason why Taka decides to turn evil. He sees Mufasa being with Sarabi as treason and changes teams to help Kiros kill everyone. To be clear, unfulfilled love is indeed painful. There’s no question about that. Still,doesn’t have a scene where Mufasa works against his brother’s wishes. On the contrary! So, turning into a homicidal maniac is not the appropriate response.
To make matters worse, Taka suddenly begins to resent Mufasa for other reasons after his romantic disillusionment. He claims Mufasa stole his mother’s love and his father’s admiration, even though the movie explicitly shows how Taka was always well-regarded in the kingdom while Mufasa was a pariah until he saved Eshe. It takes a logical leap to believe Taka could plan to murder his brother just because he’s heartbroken by a situation that was obviously outside Mufasa’s control.
