It bothers me a bit that The Lion Guard is made up of four male members and a single female, making Fuli the token girl. Once it was established that Simba and Nala would have a son that would be the leader of the Guard, it makes sense that Bunga, his best friend, is also male. Beshte, being a hippo, and the largest and strongest member is also best suited for a male character. That leaves Ono. He could easily have been made female, in my opinion.
All I`m saying is, why does the Guard have such an overweight of male members? I know Kion, being male would most likely have mostly male friends, but there is such a lack of strong, independent female animal characters in Disney films and series. And by that I mean female characters that aren`t just someones girlfriend or daughter. It would have been nice if The Lion Guard featured a better balance between genders and had two females represented instead of just one.
All that said, I am grateful for the female member it does have, as well as the new lioness cubs Zuri and Tiifu. They`re all great additions to the TLK universe.
