I know some people don't like her just becuase she's a girl.
I like that simba had a duaghter not a son.

Uh, what?

Nala is not Simba's daughter.

I think he meant Kiara lol

Well I think Kiara is great. *cough*Kopa*cough* has not right to exist.

Any gender of cub would've been good. I don't mind Kopa, or Kiara. They're all just pixels anyways
Plus, it wouldve ment Kovu had to be a boy. :p

No, I seriously think Kiara is perfect for the sequel. As the main character in the 1st movie was a boy, making boy being again would be... monotonic. And not really cool.

Kiara is a whiny girl who doesn't wanna be queen. Pretty much the opposite of what Simba is in original movie. But she's still brave and believes in herself and people (lions) she loves. No. I definitely wouldn't change her. Nor her gender.

i like her as a girl. The father-son role has alredy occured in the first movie.

You know, I would have nice if Simba had both a boy and a girl. There were plans for it with the names being Chaka and Shani, though Chaka was written out, and Shani was renamed Kiara. It's true the son character would have useless in the story, but if I were to have wrote the the story, the son was to be Simba's heir, and Kovu would try to kill him before he can kill Simba. Meanwhile, Kiara tries to find out what her place is in the Circle of Life. The ambush happens, and both prides lose their eldest son; for Zira, it's Nuka and for Simba, it's his son. Kovu gets exiled, and the rest of the movie's plot follows after.

Another version of my fanfiction is that only Nuka dies, but Simba's son returns home weakened trying to defend his father who was the target of the ambush. Kovu gets exiled, and the rest of the movie's plot follows after. Eventually, Simba's son and Vitani become a couple.

As for the topic, should? Probably not. The father-son relationship would have been redundant, but the writers could have continued the father-son relationship that already existed between Mufasa and Simba with Simba trying to live up to his father's legacy. Also, The Lion King movies needed more female presence, and I believe having the story evolve around Kiara was created to accomplish that goal. Finally, the story was inspired by Romeo & Juliet which mostly caters to a female audience so a female protagonist was needed to support the story, though a topic I created a few years ago questions the possibility of it revolving around a male protagonist.

Agreed. You said every single thing I was going to say.

Having a girl rather than a boy shook things up a bit. I would have been fine with another male, though.
