Mufasa was not a good king

for me, growing up is realizing Mufasa was a flawed ignoramous who was too kind hearted and gullible not to recognize the budding threat to his life and legacy living under his feet. In the movie’s first scene after the intro where we meet Scar he openly challenges Mufasa, refuses to acknowledge Simba as the future monarch and says he’ll use alternate means (plotting) to usurp the throne. how does Mufasa respond to this blatant treachery? Well he doesn’t.

Mufasa is Ned Stark, honorable, courageous, beloved and adored but too deluded and too unwilling to play dirty when needed to eliminate obvious threats to his reign. His murder and the subjugation of pride rock to a decade of turmoil under Scar‘s rule is his fault. Also he should have been much harsher on Simba after the hyena fiasco. What do you all think?
