I personally prefer a canon explanation to any Fan Theory.
[quote="Panpardus"]I mostly want to know who this other lion is; Zira's father perhaps? Could explain a lot of things about their relationship.[/quote]
Wow! I had not thought of that. To quote Zira:
[quote="Zira"] What an Idea![/quote]
By the way I'm quoting the 2nt time she sad that line

A couple of other things I noticed about the Unknown Lion is that he has a dark blaze on his forehead like the one Zira has in "Lion King 2" and the cave Scar and he were at is the same one Zira led Kion to in "Lions of The Outlands"
[quote="Heleigh"]Well, in principle sure what Disney creates is a canon of course. This pushes the "Tale of two brothers" book clearly aside I guess since it's a fan work. And as well as that Scar's original name is Taka or that he got his scar in the buffalo accident. But will everyone accept this since some people don't consider TLG as canon?[/quote]
Well there will always be people that reject the canoicity of story elements that they do not like, but "The Lion Guard" is an official Disney product, and they have made every effort to tie it into existing "Lion King" canon. Yes the very existence of "The Lion Guard" is a retcon, but that does not make "The Lion Guard" non-canon.
[quote="Hatari05"]Also the first of these evil lions were a group of lions from the outlands that the original lion Guard fought not only did they fight them but it was what the guard was founded to do, their very existence was created to fight what these lions represent.[/quote]
I don't remember The Evil Lions The Original Lion Guard fought being from The Outlands. Did I miss something?
[quote="yukidogzombie"]I think the mysterious lion is Rani's dad[/quote]
I think Rani would probably be a lot older than Kion if that were the case.
[quote="DGFone"]Considering the target audience, I doubt Disney intended the reference, but imagine if Scar telling the story "have I ever told you how I got this scar..." is like the Joker in The Dark Night - as in, he changes the story completely every time based on how he feels like telling it.[/quote]
I guess that
could be possible. They did reference Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in "Cave of Secrets."
[quote="TheLionPrince"]Also, a bite from a cobra is venomous and would likely cause swelling and infection if not properly treated. Since these lions don't have access to health care, it sounds like a lame explanation.[/quote]
I was wondering how Scar avoided poisoning myself, but perhaps he went to Rafiki for treatment. (Assuming Rafiki was Shaman at the time).
Given Scar's story I am now wondering if Ushari will be the one to give Kion his scar?
