My Lion King Forum

Aka, the book, comic, and merchandise characters.

I do like their designs, and personalities and all, but they really seem out of place in the series.
I only really see the LK circle, and of course the canon Outlanders and Pride-landers, being friends. No one else. [s]A lot of the semi-canon characters reminds me of fanfiction OCs personally.[/s]

I tend to just kinda ignore them, haha. Someone who likes them and enjoys talking about them, that's their business. I tend to just stick to movie characters only, though, when I write or when I think critically about the movie. But as always, to each their own.

I don't know probably as much as I should about the lesser known characters from the TLK Universe but I'm mostly like YFWE and stick to the movies. I really should look into them more though, just to broaden my knowledge of TLk a bit more.

I like most of them, even though most of them appear in just one book/comic, making it difficult to make a fair judgment of what their personalities are like. However, one character that does appear multiple times is Simon, and I don't really care for him. He's kind of a younger, slightly crazier version of Rafiki that appears in at least three foreign TLK comics, and he's not particularly annoying or likable to me, he's just sort of..."there".

Yeah I like them
Especially Tojo, Kula, Tama and Chumvi. Because their awesome. I like their designs too.

They're okay for me, but the only one that really sticks out to me is Ni. He's my favorite of the sub/semi-canon characters, and seems the most realistic. He probably could've been in one of the movies with a little more development if they had the room.

Not sure why they're compared to OCs, though. *Cocks head.*

They pop out like a sore thumb compared to characters created by Disney. Also, technically, they are fan-made. Just officially licensed.

Mmm, true enough. Hopefully most OCs are made with more care than those, though.

Like KM, I don't know a terrible amount about the sub-canon characters
Although, I do like their designs and personalities from what i've seen so far ^^ It would have been good if there was more on them

Well, these subcanon characters just sucked me more into the fandom! I discover more of them every month thanks to Akril I found a comic about Zazu having a girlfriend and some other Zazu like birds were in that comic. I also love their different designs. Too bad there weren't that many of them in the movies
