I really love Timon, to the point where I've named myself after him.
However, I only really like him in Timon and Pumbaa. Because the Timon there and the Timon of the movies are completely different.
I know this may offend some fans, but the Timon in the movies...just doesn't really do it for me. For a while I was totally against him, but then, upon seeing the series again, remembered how great he was once written.. Maybe it was the more aged, cartoony animation, or maybe it was his constantly exagerated expressions, or maybe it was him constantly calling Pumbaa a mook, but that Timon really had a charm about him that made me fall in love with him.
As I said, I'm probably going to get hate comments from users like Timon the Great who are totally into the movie Timon. And that's fine. But I'm not going to change my opinion.
