About this listen
Mufasa: The Lion King, a prequel film, introduces Mufasa's previously unknown enhanced senses, enabling him to hear and smell over vast distances. This new ability creates a plot inconsistency with the original Lion King, where Mufasa's death is attributed to Scar's trickery. Had Mufasa possessed these heightened senses, he could have detected the impending stampede, potentially saving both himself and Simba. The prequel's addition of these superpowers thus retroactively alters the events of the original film, raising questions about the narrative consistency between the two stories. The article explores this narrative conflict created by the prequel's revelation of Mufasa's abilities.
