Honestly that doesn’t even rank high on my issues with the Mufasa movie… basically these are my issues…
Scar being called Taka but neither Mufasa’s parents nor Taka’s parents were named Ahadi and Uru
The Pridelands being called Milele (which honestly is a cool concept on its own) when that name has never been used for the Pridelands
Pride Rock suddenly appearing… when Lion Guard show makes it clear Pride Rock, and the Pridelands as a Kingdom by default, have existed for generations, not to mention Ahadi and Uru and Six New Adventures books
Taka becoming Scar and gaining his Scar from an attack from Kyros… when Lion Guard already explained how Taka became Scar
Kiros and his pride being called the Outsiders, which was the same name for Zira’s pride, thereby implying both prides are linked… when there was no connection even vaguely hinted at, except for Scar briefly aligning with Kiros I guess…
Sarafina never featured, which honestly I’m just disappointed bc of my love of theories of Nala’s family
In summary, it messes with the previous Lion King Disney movies and show when it comes to timelines, canon, fact, character personalities, etc, not to mention Six New Adventures which granted is semi-canon at best, but the Disney movies and show are officially Disney, so they are canon as far as I’m concerned (granted there are also issues with Lion Guard but those can more easily be explained or ignored bc they’re minor things in comparison to Mufasa). Anyways yeah I have issues with the Mufasa movie. I have come up with my own explanations to make it work. Basically it’s the story of two lions named Mufasa and Taka from countless generations ago, there was actually a lioness named Sarabi, as well as a mandrill named Rafiki and a bird named Zazu. The Rafiki who’s telling the story ended up choosing his own name when he became the Royal Mjuzi to Mufasa, and he chose the name Rafiki after the original Rafiki who features in the adventures of the movie. Current day Mufasa and Scar/Taka who are related to Simba were named after the original Mufasa and Taka from countless generations ago. Sarabi’s parents named her Sarabi for the same reason and since she was betrothed to current day Mufasa from the time she was born. Zazu can simply be a popular name for birds, especially hornbills. Storyteller Rafiki is teaching Kiara, and we know from experience, his stories and lessons don’t always make complete sense and sometimes bend reality and the exact truth. So he could have changed the story slightly to make it more relatable to Kiara, and when she gets older, she would learn the story of the First Mufasa in more detail. After several generations of ancient Mufasa’s pride living in Milele, something horrible happened and the lions had to flee Milele. Several more generations later, the word Milele had become simply a word of legends, and no one remembered exactly where it was or was sure it even existed. Lions return to the land once known as Milele, end up calling it the Pridelands, and voila the dynasty that would eventually lead to current day Mufasa and Taka/Scar and Sarabi and Simba and Nala was born. It’s likely that eventually Royal Mjuzi’s began serving the king of the Pridelands, and they would likely have knowledge of Milele as well the ability to communicate with the ancestors and teach the king and other lions of the pride to do so, and this is how the memory of Milele returned to the Pridelanders.
