Scar’s lies throughout The Lion King are what allow him to pull off his villainous coup, and the release of Mufasa: The Lion King just confirmed another major Scar lie from the 2019 remake. Throughout The Lion King, Scar is portrayed as a manipulative murderer who kills Mufasa and chases Simba away in order to begin his authoritarian rule over the Pride Lands. However, Mufasa: The Lion King paints a much more sympathetic version of Scar, then known as Taka, revealing more about his plans in The Lion King.
