Rumors of the Cub at the end of The Lion King

[lionkingfreak]

[quote="SuperBabySimba"]Seriously, I don't understand how is it confusing?

1.) The cub's creators called it Fluffy and didn't give it a gender, so it's not Kopa! They did so in 1995 after Kopa already existed in the books. As in, if they meant it to be Kopa, they would've said so. But they didn't. So it's certainly not Kopa. Couldn't be more simple!

2.) As Fluffy isn't an identity and we are talking about who the cub is, and SP is an official sequel, the answer becomes: the cub in the end of the first film is Kiara. Again, very simple.

3.) Kopa wasn't even created, written or developed by Disney at all, which is likely the reason why the cub in the end never was Kopa and why he wasn't taken into the movie universe even later. The first book in the series, 'A Tale of Two Brothers' wherein Kopa first appears, is an original story created and written by the writer Alex Simmons, who isn't part of The Walt Disney Company. Alex Simmons' personal web site, provides that information.

PS. And I don't see how do Simba and Nala look older in SP than in the end of TLK? And even if they did, the most likely reason for it would be the combination of the fact that the animators were not the same as the first film's and the whole style of the animation had obviously changed.[/quote]
i agree. the cub is not a son ! kopa, tanabi , chacka . it was a genderless cub named fluffy ! the offical cub of simba and nala was a daughter , kiara !

It is Kopa..

[lionkingfreak]

it is not kopa ! why do you belive it's kopa ?

[Eli_Ayase]

Umm, I probably am nice now, but, why you keep judging other peoples thoughts? If they think it's Kopa then fine let it be, they have their version you have yours.

[SophieCub]

Natalie's right, we all should have our own opinion without question

[Nitro]

It's not like whether or not a group of furry pixels is named Kiara or Kopa is the end of the world. Whether or not that was Kopa, Kiara still had a movie on her and is recognized as Simba's heir. Case closed.

[Daenerys]

I think Kopa was presented at the end of TLK, then Zira "got rid" of him, and then Nala had Kiara

[Nitro]

That's likely, but maybe Kopa never existed in the first place? Simba could have dreamt he was in Mufasa's place as father, and poof there's Kopa, who only exists in Simba's imagination. So the cub at the end of TLK was Kiara, Kopa exists in the Lion King universe , and Kiara was their only cub. Can anyone say compromise?

[Daenerys]

I believe Kopa was presented at the end. I think Kopa is canon

[Nitro]

I personally believe that Kopa may have been the intended cub, but after they realized they had already done a movie on a prince, they changed it to Kiara to be more girlish. Besides, it wouldn't have really fit if Zira's daughter (that isn't Vitani, since she already has a different role and is Scar's cub) and Simba's son (which would be a clone of him) got together. Bad boy is more lovable than bad girl....
