actually while good natured Mufasa and his father both had major flaws which contributed to Scar becoming who he was in later life, it doesn't excuse Scar but Mufasa was a typical "big brother" and often neglected Scar's feelings, whether he knew it or not, he dismissed Scar quite a bit in media that shows their younger selfs and was rather arrogant.. this isn't enough to make Mufasa a bad guy but rememeber Pure Good is just that.. pure.. Mufasa, sadly, was tainted a little by his father (who in some media is downright abusive towards Scar especially).

like any king Mufasa also had flaws and saw all hyenas as evil, had banished enemies to the outlands and enforced rules that would be explored in sequels and shown to be wrong.. Simba was also guilty of this during Lion King 2 when he showed prejudice and so on by believing that Scar's "son" would be exactly like him etc.

the Lion Guard is the first time any lion from the Pride Lands is shown to actually see hyenas as more than horrible scavengers.. the nature of Lion King "wild politics" means prejudice etc is a thing and while Mufasa would likely not do so out of malice he definitely would of enforced some of these flaws as a king.. since as mentioned before even Simba enforced unfair rules etc in Lion King 2 until his daughter helped him to see that things had to change.
