I pity him!

Nuka is so underrated character. I don't know what makes people to dislike this lion. He's cool

Though I feel like he could have had more on his background, he's not a bad character.

All Nuka wants is his mother's love. I mean, who can't imagine what his position would be like? What lengths we'd go to to get such a small amount of praise and attention, what things would be done just to get noticed, for that matter. I mean, hell, half the time Zira barely even acknowledges his presence, that's gotta hurt. And yeah, Nuka counts as a bad guy I guess cos he helps Zira try to kill Simba and take over the Pride Lands and all, but he ain't evil, and he ain't crazy, like his mama; he's just a neglected and angsty teen who just wants to be recognized and be somebody. Nuka's like pretty much everybody.

I always loved this character. He reminds me a lot of Sokka, in Avatar: TLA. My favourite new character from the second movie.

Nuka has always been my favorite character. In my opinion, for a sequel, Simba's Pride had quite a bit of character development in the story. Although we see more so in Kovu, Kiara and Vitani as they age. I think Nuka was a well thought out character. The fandom itself has fleshed out a tragic and beautiful soul.

I like Nuka. Honestly, his appearance in Simba's Pride makes the film much more tolerable. While the film itself is just okay in my books, Nuka does his part to add a bit of character to a film deprived of character. None of the old characters fill their rolls, or at least fill them well, and the new characters are just boring (Zira's aight). Nuka brings some life to the party. He's cute, funny, and much more relatable than Vitani or Kovu I also like how nonthreatening he is. He's just so likeable that it's hard for me to find reason to criticize him. Andy Dick does a great job of voicing him and getting across a very likeable character with, and lets be honest, a less than engaging script and not all that fantastic direction. Even in his most pointless scenes, he manages to leave an impact. It's only fair after the log impacted him pretty hard too. Sorry. Had to.

Nuka is and always will be my favorite character in the second film. ^^

Nuka is one of my favourite characters in the whole TLK universe. I find his death sadder than Mufasa's(COME AT ME). He just wanted his mother's love and respect...
