What if Mufasa was the one to give Scar his scar? This is a theory I've been playing around with and the more I think about it the more I like it.

"Scar" Theories:
1.) The semi canon TLK short stories tell of how Taka gets his scar from a water buffalo. No, sorry. I don't buy that. It's way to unrealistic for an animal of that size to do no more damange than a small scar; furthermore Scar's scar looks like a claw mark from a lion.

2.) His father, Ahadi, gave him his scar. This is a very popular theory and one that the majority seems to accept. I guess it could work, but I'm not really a huge fan of it myself. Mufasa speaks kindly of his father in the movie, if he were that cruel to his brother why would he?

And now we're back to the Mufasa theory. I really like this one. Yeah, we're suppose to see Mufasa as the wise king, the kind father...the majestic lion that everyone respects. But no one is perfect and just as no one is born "evil", no one is born wise either. Mufasa was taught and grew into the character we know. You can't help but notice how he tends to have a rather short fuse, especially when it comes to his brother. From what we see in the movie he was never exactly nice to Scar; seemed to talk down to him. Makes one wonder how long this went on.

Surely, adult Mufasa was more mature and in control of his temper than he was as a cub or adolescent. What if he went too far when he was younger? Now I'm sure Scar (then Taka) brought it on himself and you can come up with whatever story you like for that, but I could seriously see this happening. Mufasa would of course quickly regret allowing his frustration and anger to get the better of him, but the damage would be done. Mufasa being the one that gave Taka his Scar - in addition to Taka's ever growing jealousy, seems to give him all the more reason to go through with his future plans - to push that jealousy to hatred, don't you think?

ANYWAYS. I have written (still writing actually) a fan fiction on this...and this artwork is a scene from it. I SHOULD post it so this picture makes more sense but honestly...it's huge. I would spam this page something awful if I posted it all, and to just post this part from it...well, you need to see what happens first to make Mufasa so mad. Heh, I guess I'll post it eventually though. >.> I'm so unsure about my writing style lols.

PS: You're welcome to think of them as older (adolescents) when this happens, I just like drawing them as cubs and this is the age they are in my story so.
