New episode 'Lions of the outlands'?

[Elton John]

I dont get the big deal about that stripe. I forgot she had one.

What made zira, zira, was her personality. Which will likely be toned down.

[Rollo]

What I mean by overreacting is you seem to let irrelevant things bother you no offense but you nitpick everything in the franchise but the original film sometimes for the sake of it, the outlands don't look right are you kidding me. I don't mean to be harsh but have you ever considered the reason I get on your case is because you say stuff like people have low standards for not caring about the stuff that you do, the exact thing you accuse me and others of doing?

Just putting this under a spoiler, people, so I don't clog up your thread. I would rather you didn't comment on this because it's between me and Hatari. I'm just trying to keep the thread on topic, basically. Skip this reply.

Spoiler: show

Hatari, I'm not going to get angry with you because to be completely honest, I could not possibly care less about what some random guy on the internet thinks of me and my Utterly Heinous opinions of a children's movie. I'm 18 years old. God knows how old you are. Why should it matter what you think of me and what I think of you?

I don't nitpick everything in the franchise, Hatari--I just nitpick The Lion King 2, because I think it's not as great of a sequel as I once did. But to you it seems to be the best movie ever in the franchise, which is fine, everyone has preferences. But to put it plainly, you're getting upset simply because of that. You can't seem to handle the very idea of someone questioning a movie that maybe you thought everybody loved.

I'm so glad you have admitted that you do get on my case. It's a bit sad how you'll willingly ignore everybody else in a thread regardless of what they contribute to a conversation, but come after me because it's obvious I don't like TLK 2 and I don't really see why I have to hide that on a board dedicated to discussing The Lion King. Often the "irrelevant" things are actually very relevant to talk about, but you seem to gloss over it because you know that it's criticising The Lion King 2, which is something you clearly can't handle. Why?

I definitely think I hurt you at some stage in our replies, which I'll openly apologise for (honestly--I am sorry), because it's clearly fuelled the fire for you to come back and say something like this. I've always wondered why, maybe because you don't like the idea of somebody "attacking a movie" you seem to religiously defend? I understand you take great joy in analysing it and other people enjoy reading those, so kudos to you, but please understand that just because someone doesn't like a movie you do, it's not a valid reason for you to come after them waving your pitchfork EVERY SINGLE TIME they say something bad about that movie. There's plenty of people on these boards that love The Lion King 2 (probably more people who love it than the original, I suspect) who have never said anything to me the way you do.

In fact, there's people on these boards who ADORE The Lion King 1 1/2, and I have said plenty of things that are negative about that movie...yet they seem to understand that opinions are opinions, and no matter what user Rollo says, it will never change or disturb their love for that movie. Which is not only completely understandable, but sensible. At least to me it is. So, please, please grow up a little bit, Hatari. We're allowed to have a civil conversation about these movies without you taking it so personally because you seem to hold this movie in the same manner one would with their newborn child. I can tell you're getting worked up about it: please don't, it's not worth it.

If you have something else to say on this matter, please, for the sake of everybody else in this thread, PM me. I can handle criticism just fine, but I can't handle the idea of making everybody else uncomfortable in the process. Thank you!

I thought it was a cool aspect of her design; added to her angularity and made her visually distinctive since her color palette is more or less pretty plain otherwise. I'm genuinely curious as to why the animators removed it. (Not to the point of losing sleep over it of course.) Plus, most actual lionesses do have that marking in some shape or form -- just Google "lioness" and you'll see what I mean -- so I always thought it was a cool nod to actual biology in the same way that Kion's the only lion cub we've seen with spots, and he looks like he'll be one of those rare individuals who retains them throughout their lives.

[Elton John]

It's likely something that will be fixed by the next appearence. Nala's design until 'never roar again' was kind of bulky. Simba looks more and more like the movie version. Kion, in the original june 2014 reveal had white instead of yellow in his eyes.

The first season of the show is just the test season. They're seeing what works and what doesn't and fixing mistakes as they go along.

I like the sound of that, and I hope your right, also may I remind you that in the TLK minin movie, Tiff or Zuri (too lazy to check) had those spots on her, now its not present in the show.

Does anyone hope that it is revealed that Nuka actually turns out to be Scar's son??

[Elton John]

I think he is. I'm pretty sure they were all scar's cubs until they realized that they can't have a romantic disney film where the leads are cousins, animal or not.

[Chavratheserval]

^ I'm hoping Nuka is Scar's son too! I'm gonna say something too! Nothing to deep like the conversation your having. But short of what I want to say X3 I'm just happy there even IN the Lion guard. I'm real excited for some backstory but cautious too, a lot of bad things can happen. I'm really hoping Lion guard will be finally canon.

[ScarXZira10889]

Yeah, I agree with both of you guys! It would make a lot of sense as to why he's a messy hair ball. XD I don't know how to describe him! XD I'm pretty sure that he was even born during Scar's reign and apparently a Lion would kill any cubs that are not rightfully his. (I'm not sure if this is true or not) Also, even if he is revealed to be Scar's cub, it could possibly explain why Nuka only calls him by his nick name and not "father" because of how much he despised him?

[ScarXZira10889]

I might have missed something out but if you look at this bit found in the preview their is a dotty type of ring that appears to be on the lion that seems to look like Nuka!
