Yeah yeah. We all know about Kopa.

Third cub? When did they have another? Never heard about it.

Simba doesn't have a 3rd cub, its something that isn't cannon.

If you're going to take the explanation of Kovu from an officially licensed book then you need to take Simba's first cub into account since it comes from an equally "canon" source not to mention the ending of the first movie clearly shows a male which was retconned in the sequel. Fans even speculate that he died which is why Simba is so overprotective in the second movie. Counting we have Lion King 1 1/2 and the Timon and Pumba cartoon that are also canon I don't see why having this decently written book from the 90s automatically be considered noncanon. While my comment was mostly tongue in cheek the point still stands.

Yo, I've never even watched the second movie.

I didn't know there could be debate's on Lion King canon..how crazy...

*BubblyShell22* · 08-14-2015, 08:01 AM

I loved the sequel and the third movie, too. Definitely can't wait for this.

*sdp* · 08-15-2015, 10:34 PM

The second movie was an early Disney Direct to Video release and it's fairly good. It's a bit predictable and of course doesn't match the original in story/quality/animation but it's an often forgotten movie that is lumped with bad Disney sequels while it's actually pretty good to stand on its own as a good sequel. The third movie "1 1/2" is basically the first movie told through Timon and Pumba's perspective with a few hijinx here and there. It was highly praised when it came out ten years ago but I only found it slightly amusing. I only remember watching a few episodes of the Timon and Pumba cartoon as a kid but I didn't like it. I would count it as a non-canon spin-off since they interact with humans in the modern world but apparently Simba and others do make official appearances and if "1 1/2" is canon then why shouldn't this show also be.

This is the internet there can be debates over canon of pretty much anything. LK Canon is fairly tame in comparison to some of the things people get hardcore about.

Sounds cool

There are fans who love the characters from the 2nd movie, So its good that this new series is keeping up with continuity.

Man...I never knew. Much like Tim Curry's stroke this blind sided me.

Tim had a stroke in 2011 but only recently people found out about it.

Here's a new clip from The Lion Guard, Which is an extended version of one of the earlier clips.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 08-19-2015, 01:37 AM

Looks awesome, can't wait!

*Raph's Girl* · 08-20-2015, 02:47 PM

From D23 a clip of the Lion Guard presentation that explains what the Lion Guard is all about (plus the theme song).

Apparantly it's always been the job of the 2nd born cub to lead The Lion Guard, a group of animals who protect the pride lands. The head always has the uber power of the ancestors. Apparantly Scar had this power but abused it and lost it before the first movie (but of course!).

Why is it that only the second born child gets the powers? And why is it that no one mentions this in the movies?

One word: retcon

All will be explained in the Lion Guard pilot film in November.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 08-20-2015, 05:01 PM

I wonder if they will explain Kopas death? You can't rewrite the ending of Lion King 1.

Maybe Rafiki dropped him as soon as the credits hit lol

Kopa is not canon. They specifically state that Kion is the 2nd born cub.
