Hints about Kopa?

I'm stuck on the line of:

Kopa Lives|Kopa was Murdered

I'm in the middle (the line)

I was like that too, but I went with him running away or something in the end, I just do not like to think he died *sad face*

I like to think that he ran away too. The thought of an innocent cub being murdered is too much for me to handle

[SummerSnowLeopard]

Me too He seems like such a sweet cub. For him to be murdered...:'(

I think I'll continue with the theory of him running away

[FlipMode]

Even though I have a guy with an assault rifle in my sig lol >.<

But the main reason I say he ran away is so we can use him in fan fic, or at least was taken away but can still return some how.

OOC: Yay for my 1000th post lol, that is a mile stone for me :D only took me nearly a year haha

I'm agreeing with you. Kopa just can't be dead

And congratz

[Question]

I think it was a nod to the authors of the book, since they didn't use their idea.

[SummerSnowLeopard]

Perhaps, I think they were hints and/or shout-outs to TLK6NA or 'Fluffy'.

I agree with everything SuperBabySimba says. I've not watched The Lion King commentery myself but if the people talking are saying that the cub at the end of the movie didn't have a sex so they gave it a unisex name (Fluffy) then a non-gender cub it was, you can't really argue against that when it came straight from the creators mouths

The books as far as I know had nothing to do with the creators and where just made for money/fun.

Disney then make a second film and the cub is Keira which makes it more than obvious that she is now the cub at the end of the first movie.

Look at it this way, even if Kopa was a real character that was killed, how are people actually supposed to know anything about that? There would be at least one reference to it in the movie. Just say you hadn't read the books or even heard of them (Like some people out there haven't) would you watch Simba's pride and seriously think Kiara wasn't the cub at the end of the first movie or that Simba and Nala have a murdered cub? You would never think that so what would be the point of them having this unknown made up background that never gets mentioned? Really if they ever intended on Kopa exsisting then wouldn't the movie just have been made about him and never about Kiara?

I understand people have love for the book characters, I love Chumvi but if Simba's Pride creators really cared or wanted to involve the book characters then they could easily have had Nala talk about her childhood friends like Chumvi maybe saying they were around when Simba had ran away but they didn't, they didn't involve any book characters into the story at all, they seem to be just made up book characters that have nothing to do with the actual movies.

If they wanted to have anything to do with the book characters then it didn't even have to be Kopa that they brought in, it could have been one of Nala's childhood friends or any other lion in the books but they didn't introduce one character from the books into the movie, not by name or appearence which also makes it clear that they wanted nothing to do with those characters.

I agree with the person that said that the Kopa reference (If that's what it was) was a nod to the writer of the book for not using their Kopa idea.

I think it would have been cool if they had made the books in to a little cartoon series like they did when they gave Timon and Pumba their own show, that might have been fun! I'm not against the books and I totally wouldn't have mind if they went along with the book characters did introduce them in to the movie, maybe even have Chumvi as Kovu's dad
I like the book characters, it would have been interesting to get to know them on screen, I think you can have a lot of fun with them, but they where just seperate from the movies.

I hope this doesn't look like I'm arguing, It's not meant to look like that lol. Just SBS seems to have put down facts and not just what he believes happend which is important
