Zazu in TLG

Zazu in TLG

Postby Gaze » December 25th, 2015, 12:37 am

since we haven't seen much of Zazu yet, I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on Zazu's future presence in TLG.

what do you want to see or expect to see out of his character in TLG? do you think he'll continue to be a very minor side character, or will he perhaps get some more screen time? maybe play a prominent role in an episode or two?

I think it only makes sense that he'll become at least a little more prominent. I assume that working with the Guard in some capacity must be part of his job. still, I'm guessing he'll probably remain off to the side most of the time, only coming to the forefront on occasion.

my biggest wish for his character is a closer look at his relationship with Simba (and the rest of the royal family, I suppose). in the original TLK, the opening scene in Scar's lair does a great job illustrating the friendly, close relationship btwn Mufasa and Zazu. same with the pouncing scene.
however, interactions like that btwn Zazu and King Simba have been pretty much nonexistent. his lines are few in SP, and when he does speak, it's usually on fairly serious matters that illustrate how important Zazu's job is to him, as well as his loyalty to the Pridelanders. but very little insight is given on how well he actually gets along with Simba on a friendship level. so I'd really like to see more friendly banter between the two of them. or maybe they don't even get along very well in that way. that'd be neat to see elaborated upon, too.

I like his character in the first TLK a lot, and it's disappointing to see so little personality out of him in SP (and his current one line in TLG, lol)

so....Zazu thoughts?

I think he's only in the show because 1: he's not a retired character nor is he dead and 2: he's the royal families majordomo

He will have minor roles most of the time, and might play bigger parts in some episodes. Shame, I happen to like the little hornbill.
Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves back up again.

Zazu was mentioned in the rise of Makuu, so the writters at least have him in mind. I have a * FAN THEORY * I think that in a future episode Zazu could be sort of mentoring Ono, as their roles are slightly similar. * END OF FAN THEORY *

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel Ono is pretty much doing part of Zazu's job in alerting the royalty of what's going wrong in the Pride Lands. Like I said before sometime ago, Zazu's role as majordomo in the story pretty much intertwined with (or feeds off of) Simba's role as king. If we see more of Simba in the series, we'll surely see more of Zazu.

Zazu and Simba will sing a song together in TLG soundtrack. So I guess there will be an episode that Zazu talks to Simba about his duties.

True, But Ono reports to Kion in regards to what The Lion Guard might need to do.

Whereas Zazu reports to Simba (and The Royal Family) about everything in The Pride Lands. Just to keep Simba (and The Royal Family) just to to keep Him (Them) informed of everything.

Looking forward to this. I expected Zazu to continue to be sidelined, so I'm glad he'll at least have a bit of spotlight.
