Well yes. That’s the whole point of the movie. Simba, instead of inheriting respect and power, has to earn the respect by overcoming difficulty and proving himself. As opposed to Scar who has gained power by underhanded tactics and fear.
So you have to have a scene where the protagonist looses what he thinks to be true only to come to the realisation that what they hold dearest is not materials or wealth but friendship and love. Jesus fucking Christ even as a child I understood this. It’s literally every single Disney movie apart from Fantasia. That shot is messed up.
You mean to tell me that the skilful diplomacy with hyenas and tenacity that underpinned Scar’s usurpation were less difficult and worthy of respect than ‘kid goes on a camping trip with some weirdos for a bit, comes back and is made king’?
Really, beyond the ‘divine right’, Scar showed many traits of being a much more able king.

Even his villain song was a banger.
I am looking at his character arc in a while new light now.
