In your most educated and well formulated opinion, yes. Until you have written proof from the creators that that cub is not Kopa-[/quote]
I dont' see how a written word online even on official site could be more reliable proof than what the creators say out loud on a commentary track officcially attached to the legal, profit release of the film?
And it would be just my educated and well formulated opinion, if its creators hadn't refered to the cub in any way. But as it is, they've confirmed that it is a cub with no name and no gender.
Let me make it very simple:
Does the film state the cub's name is Kopa? No.
Does the film state the cub's gender is male? No.
Was Kopa written by any of the people listed as the film's creators? No.
Was Kopa published after the film came out? Yes.
Was the commentary track by the film makers published after Kopa came out? Yes.
Do the creators on their commentary track state it's Kopa or even male? No. But they do call it "Fluffy" and give it no gender.
Results in: Fluffy is not Kopa, in fact and not just in my opinion.
As in it cannot be both, genderless Fluffy and a boy named Kopa in one vision. Fluffy with no gender is the official canon vision, and Kopa boy is the fan made identity vision based on that official canon vision.
