Cub Simba or Adult Simba????

[Nitro]

Simba as a cub is adventurous and innocent while when he's an adult, he grows to be serious, stubborn, and over protective. I view them as 2 different characters.

[TheRoguePrince]

Hm, but how does one differentiate between the two, they both have flaws, as a cub Simba is cocky and has tendencies toward being over prideful

[Nitro]

But besides that, how arethey the same? Skipping his teen years doesn't realy help too.

[TheRoguePrince]

we go back and see some of that in TLK 1.5, he changes through a lack of responsibility and trying to forget his past.

[Nitro]

True, but 1.5 doesn't have that much of an impact on my thinking, so I tend to ignore that.

[TheRoguePrince]

It is a stage of TLK though, despite it's horrible format and breaking of the linearality of the story

[Nitro]

Yeah, but it doesn't have anything to do with the overall plot so I ignore it. I'm talking about the Simba in the beginning of TLK and the one during SP, I can hardly believe they're the same person.

[TheRoguePrince]

Ah, but there is a view of Adult Simba in the end of TLK that is not like that, he succeeds in restoring this Kingdom

[Nitro]

But he hasn't fully developed into the king he will be yet. He's still trying to adapt from Hakuna Matata.

[TheRoguePrince]

Well, his daughter is a major concern for him, it is because he sees in her what he was that he is so protective of her.
