Disney's 'Mufasa: The Lion King' prequel undermines the iconic villain Scar by reducing his motivations to a high-school-level jealous tantrum over a love triangle.

- The film depicts Mufasa and Scar as adopted brothers, with Scar's bitterness stemming from his father's favoritism towards Mufasa despite the latter's commoner roots.
- Instead of the rich, power-hungry villain from the original, Scar's descent into villainy is now driven by a petty jealousy over Mufasa's romance with the lioness Sarabi, which critics say weakens the character.
