So some of us already know that TLG takes place sometime during the timeskip of TLK2. Sometime after the whole "We are One" song with Simba and Kiara. Ford Riley mentioned this in an interview he was in sometime before Return of the Roar aired on TV.
However, some if not most people still don't know when and where TLG takes place. I usually see these statements in the comment sections of TLG related videos or forums. I also hear arguments such as "But where does this show take place?" and "But it doesn't make sense" or "Its ruining the timeline!!!". What i want to do is remind everyone, and those that are still confused as to where the show takes place. The show is still fairly new, and it's only just about to break out of it's first season. I have faith that the show's creators will explain more about the characters, when Kion was born, what he was doing during TLK2, and all that stuff sometime during the next seasons. And yes, i say seasons because from what i heard, TLG is supposed to run for 4 seasons (unconfirmed). It'll be interesting to see where they take the story from here.
On another note, let's tone down with the whole "BUT WHERE IS KOPA?!?!?!!" arguments. Kopa was never canon, and he isn't even Disney's creation. Disney only published those books, but they never wrote or created any of the characters in those stories (other than Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, etc). Kopa will only ever be canon in the 6 New Adventures and your fanfictions/fan comics.
I'm not saying you should dislike Kopa and pretend he was never a thing, but just know that he's a character in a series of books and not a character in the canon universe. Besides, the creation of Kion is proof that Disney probably doesn't care about Kopa, nor think of him as canon material since Disney doesn't actually own him. If they did, then he'd have been featured in this show or anything else related to TLK's source material.
I just wanted to make this post to clear up some confusion in the fandom, and or remind everyone about the timeline. If there's anything i can add, feel free to tell me. What are your thoughts on the matter?
