Disney reveals the backstory of Mufasa's Lion King death.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning! This article contains spoilers for Disney Villains: Scar #4 There are few ‘90s kids who weren’t traumatized by Mufasa’s death in The Lion King, and they may be surprised to learn that the manner in which Scar murdered him wasn’t the first time the villain killed someone that way, as the shocking backstory behind Disney’s most tear-jerking death has finally been revealed.
In 1994, Disney introduced fans to one of the most iconic animated films in history: The Lion King. The movie followed a young lion cub named Simba who is destined to inherit the title of King of the Pride Lands when his father, Mufasa, eventually passes away. However, Simba’s uncle, Scar, had other plans. Scar was jealous of Mufasa, and wanted to be king himself. However, with Simba next in line for the throne, Scar would need to eliminate him in order to ensure his own succession.
Lion King’s Scar Killed Mufasa The Same Way He Attacked Zuhour In Disney Villains: Scar #4 by Chuck Brown and Trevor Fraley, readers are shown exactly how Scar successfully pulled off his coup following Mufasa’s death and Simba’s disappearance. While this entire limited series ties all Scar’s off-screen plans together, this issue focuses on his final moves before killing Mufasa and taking Pride Rock, and perhaps the most vital step was the assassination of the hyenas’ current ruler, Zuhour.
While Zuhour survived, and was later simply exiled rather than assassinated, the method of Scar getting rid of one monarch and inserting himself in their place is exactly the same as what he did to Mufasa. Not only that, but the fact Zuhour didn’t die arguably makes the lesson Scar learned from this experience even more chilling, as he didn’t just repeat his previous atrocity when murdering his own brother, he improved upon it.
Scar is truly a despicable villain, something every ‘90s kid was traumatically aware of back in 1994. And now, fans know the full backstory behind his most heinous crime, as Disney reveals exactly how Scar came up with the method of murder he’d use on Mufasa in The Lion King.
