Dispite my best efforts I simply cannot stop thinking of the implications on the larger The Lion King canon of various sources that Mufasa has (a movie I have not seen and refuse to)

#mufasa #the lion king #the lion guard #I simply cannot stop thinking #like it’s a whole movie of retcons and rewrites and bullshit #and I refuse to actually watch it and give a single view to the live action cgi bullshit directive #but I keep seeing clips and I am obsessed with thinking of what ifs #and what the events of Mufasa have impact on other knowledge we know from the other movies #and the lion guard show #babblestar #and generally like everything about it #scar leading (perhaps even being the one to FORM the lion guard)#wanting at first to show forgiveness and dedication to protecting mufasa #but yet again continuing to only surround himself with males #scar despite it all adopting a stray of his own in Kovu #simba almost making the same mistake that killed his own father #in not forgiving the lion that initially plotted his demise but then changed his mind #scars anger growing when bloodline didn’t matter when mufasa took the throne #but it DOES matter for simba destined to become king and succeed his father #how easy it is to understand why zira and others sided with scar as rightful king #when mufasas rule was still in living memory #perhaps the cobra bite in the lion guard is not where scar got his scar #but when taka truly turned into scar. the venom amplifying his jealously and pushing him past the point of no return #scar despite it all continuing and continuing to trust and work with outlanders. outsiders. strays.#kion being sent away mirroring scar even further. and him finding his love successfully another mirror to scars failure with Sarabi #I hate what they did to Sarabi in this movie btw. they just made Nala again. they should have made her different.#she also says some shit very sure about mufasas Destiny To Be King just because she likes him better than Taka #also the idea she was part of a royal family and thus assigned Zazu completely defeats the idea of Mufasa being king from no royal blood #cause Kovu married into the royal family through Kiara so like. it’s not a new pride it’s just Sarabi’s pride still #no wonder scar tormented zazu so. zazu deserved it tbh
