What would TLK be like? Would Scar be the Noble King and Mufasa be the totally non-menacing looking Villain? Or would Mufasa be the "Chosen one" like Kovu and Scar still be evil? You decide.

Good question. That depends on whether the fact that Scar was younger than Mufasa was what made him evil to begin with. If we're going with that theory then I think their personalities would have completely switched around (but Scar would have the disadvantage of still being physically weaker, making it easier for Mufasa to get rid of him if he wanted to). I like to think that Scar was never evil to begin with, that he was predisposed to be a normal lion but turned bad when he was constantly overshadowed by his older brother and found out he would never get to be king. =/
However, if we're going with the other theory, then I think Scar would be like the mean older brother, similar to how Nuka was to Kovu. He would of rubbed in Mufasa's face that he was going to be king instead of him, making Mufasa's wise, noble nature slowly give way to jealousy as well.

If Scar was born first I think he might actually be a better king than mufasa. He was much more witty and if he was the heir apparant than I'm pretty sure Ahadi would have trained Scar to maximize his wit. Scar was a villian mainly because of jealousy. Mufasa was more easy going but took his duties as a king seriously. I doubt that would be too much conflict as scar as king except a rougue lion might beat him down.

The first born lion cub is the king/queen. all that matters. But yea mufasa would be jelous.

I still think though Mufasa would not be as hostile as scar in an opposing force though.

But according to genetics, weather Scar's evil or not, he's probably still gonna have dark fur and a scar, IMO

Scar would be King; Mufasa death would never have happened; Timon and Pumbaa would never exist (my fave part); but movie wouldn't exist
