"Mufasa Causes the Drought"!!! Fan Theory of "The Lion KIng" Part 2
Dec 8, 2019
Okay so, Scar can’t control the weather, but maybe Mufasa can? After all, this Lion King fan theory proposes it had to be some kind of serendipity for the clouds to just coincidentally look like Mufasa that fateful night for Simba.
But, since we’re dealing with talking animals is it really that much of a stretch to think Mufasa gained supernatural abilities upon death (that serum sure is powerful)? Then, he would have used those powers to reveal himself to Simba in a mystical shroud high in the sky – the legendary Mufasa Cloud- and potentially plunge the Pride Lands into drought?!
Really, this is further evidence of theory 2. Mufasa was so pissed that his brother took over the throne after he died (died at the hands of the mindless hordes he helped create to be honest), he would rather risk his kingdom’s food supply just to be petty.
When Simba rolls up to take the kingdom back, Mufasa doesn’t miss out on the opportunity to be a bit dramatic and throwdown some thunder and lighting, soaking the victor in the sweet salvation of rain.
There is the argument that the drought occurred because the kingdom had been thrown out of balance with Scar in charge, or perhaps that Mufasa only did it so the lionesses would have to hunt further afield, leading Nala to stumble into Simba once again (I say stumble but, she was trying to hunt one of Simba’s new best friends so…), but would a good king really put his people at risk just for that?
