The Lion Guard (2015 / 2016)

[quote="Marizzle"]I agree when you say that not all parents are the same, but, we need to admit that it also depends on the child itself. I was speaking about the generality of behaviours that I have seen, although I can point out a few exceptions. [/quote]
What exceptions can you point out? Do you mean for example, like they can choose to believe an imaginary character is "real" to them if they want to?

Like I said, I'm not against people having an imagination for an imaginary person in this case. People choose what they want to believe or see as real to them in their life, just like I see Timon as a friend to me. "Fictional" doesn't automatically mean that something is fake which I find is a common misconception.

So I don't think someone seeing Kion as "real" to them means it's the end of the world at all. It just means that they see this differently (just like some do about Santa Claus) and I think this really also depends on the context of the character as well. So I'm sorry if any of my statements sounded dramatic or not very clear in any way.

But I just won't agree that a 5 year old is capable of knowing everything between reality and imagination is all I'm saying, because of my own experiences.

I knew this guy who had a very dissapointed 3 year old daughter when she found out when going to the zoo that real lions don't sing like simba.

"I think i like the singing lions more" in her words.

[quote="Elton John"]I wonder if fuli will be kions love interest.

Ever since they announced the show i had a feeling that if the cheetah was female then him and kion would be love interests. Lo and behold, the cheetah has a very feminine design to the face.

So yeah i am 95% sure that if female, her and kion are love interests as kion has been described as a lion who "defies tradition".[/quote]
I doubt that, this is a preschool show so it is highly unlikely that there will even be a hint of romance. Also if a lion fell in love with a cheetah that would not so much defy tradition, as it would defy the circle of life. However I can totally see Kion being a closer friend to Fuli than he is with the rest of The Lion Guard as they are both big cats. In fact I will go as far to say that Fuli will be the first animal that Kion recruits into The Lion Guard.

And don't forget in reality, lions an cheetahs are sworn enemies, though I wish they would just get along and work together to help there species survive but that's just me wishful thinking, but see this is why I think it will be a lie to the kids starting with the 2 year olds saying the lions and cheetahs can get along, but who knows we might just see some kiddish romeo and Juliet friendship between them.

[quote="gothprincesskiara"]it will be a lie to the kids starting with the 2 year olds saying the lions and cheetahs can get along[/quote]
It's not a lie. Lions and cheetahs can get along. I once saw a documentary about a lioness who adopted a young antelope. If they can get along with prey animals, then why couldn't they get along with other big cats? In a situation like in TLK when the food is plentiful, they have no reason not to get along. Besides, the movies already show cheetahs getting along with the lions. They were among Simba's subjects who helped to exile Kovu.

And besides that, Simba had a cheetah for a friend in The Race. So, while that is semi-canon, it isn't like this is the first time it's happened.

[gothprincesskiara]

Ok good point and I saw that documentary too myself I almost forgot about it, and I realize we are starting to bring too much reality into it, I tend to do that sometimes, if we continue bringing reality into this then we will only be talking negative stuff about TLG, lets shift the subject here to something more positive or lets just continue waiting. After seeing those book samples, it tells us we are starting to get a little closer to the real thing guys, the next update should be any week or month now

[KiarasBiggestFan]

Wait what book sample? If it was a big thing sorry I missed it.

[KiarasBiggestFan]

Oh wait never mind, I found them. I love the artwork!

^ Edit your first post when you want to add to it. Do not double post.

Anyway, I actually really like Fuli's design, despite it not being how a real cheetah looks. And on the cover where they are all together, the style she is drawn in has a sort of Kung Fu Panda feel that I, personally, like.
