No, it doesn't.
[quote="MooLion"]I'm still a bit sad to think the events of Simba's Pride, at least some of it, could be completely swept away by this film and series. SP has been rooted in as part of the story for so long now, it's just a bit weird to think it's suddenly 'not true'. Of course you could say, what's to make this series any truer than SP? Pick and choose, I suppose... And yet it gives me the impression this is intended as more canon. I dunno. Anyway, so if there's this Lion Guard tradition of protecting Pride Rock/the Pridelands, where the heck were they when Zira and co. attacked? (If he left, well, what about his Guard duties? Didn't seem to pass it on.) Also Zira would surely be wanting Kion dead as well; all very well Kiara being killed, but then there's the next in line... Opens another can of worms. Trying to fit TLG with SP tidily is not easy, but it is quite interesting to think about some more.
Sorry if that made no sense. Why do I have to type these things when I'm tired?[/quote]
It made sense to me. I wondering how does the Lion Guard fit with Zira and the Outsiders on the rise, too. The movie and the subsequent series is very inconsistent with the first two films that I'm personally going to consider it an alternate universe.
