When is the "Timon and Pumbaa" series set?

[Animal of the Wild]

Please forgive me for making so many bad topics. I made this one when I was at a bad point in my life, and needlessly concerned about when this rather bad series was set.

The Timon and Pumbaa series is set after the first movie since Simba, as an adult, is the king of the Pride Lands. However, in my eyes, it doesn't take place in the official movie universe since the mood of the television series is mostly surreal and the characters interact with humans all around the world whereas the trilogy (and even 1½ at times) takes a serious approach and the characters are the humans.

Not to mention, there was an episode titled "Once Upon a Timon", which explains Timon's backstory and how he met Pumbaa, and while 1½ gives a similar, yet different backstory, it virtually ignores the former version. All in all, I don't think the television series is meant to take seriously in terms of canon continuity.

*sigh*...I really wish I could deleted some of these pointless topics I made.

Scar survived the Hyenas, then.

Those were meant to be in-jokes, and I believe the second attachment you posted is actually from House of Mouse. Like I said before, the humor in Timon and Pumbaa is too absurd or surreal for it to take place in the movie universe or to be taken seriously.

Guys, I really hope you can forgive me for all of this.

^ But it is not canon unless Disney says it is. Which they haven't said. The people who worked on the films didn't create the tv series, and when they made 1.5 they pretty much made it so that the series will never be canon. It's not to be taken seriously, and as far as your obsession with the hyenas, as people told you in the other thread there was no reason to assume they died at the end of the first film... there's no need for proof of their survival.

If you wanna use the T&P show as the canon for Timon's backstory, throw it into your fanverse, and just go with that, but it still will not and cannot be canon so don't expect everyone else to jump on your side and take that as their version too. Anyway, you always change the topics of your threads to be about the hyenas, and as a hyena fan, it's getting annoying...

This is supposed to be about when the series takes place, right? Well there's no way to know that for sure. Simba's an adult and king of the Pridelands, as TLP mentioned and that's the best bet we have is that therefore it comes after the first movie. It's not really related to the films though, aside from sharing characters, and it's not official at all, so it pretty much has to be AU.

What else can I say? I really was a troll.
