What if Mufasa is actually a bit of a tyrant, and that is a reason as to why Scar wants to dethrone him?
This. OUAT loves to give us villains with tragic, family realted backstories to explain their villainy.
I bet Rumple takes the role of Rafiki.
Unless they really want talking lions, I’m guessing someone gets bippity bobbity booped into a big cat by Rumple/Rafiki.
