There is only one more episode in season one, likely the one about Ono meeting his idol, and then we wait for season two. In recent months, discussion about the show has picked up. I'm not sure if that means people will watch this episode or not, but I hope that it does.

Is Nala also bringing Mike's Hard Lemonade and Cubstyle(c) condoms? THAT'LL get those 2 closer. And what about Kiara's hench-wenches?

Kiara pounced on Kion a lot in this episode, and generally had the upper-hand in their playful wrestling She is older, I suppose.

Or perhaps Kion simply let her win. He said as much in the episode, but that's typical talk when your big sister beats you at something.

I believe the episode is on now.

I guess it's the Halloween episode all over again. That one didn't get any replies, either.

We don't yet know much about season two. I think this casting was the only thing officially announced.

>The Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Hamilton will lend her voice to Dhahabu the Golden Zebra on an upcoming episode of Disney Junior’s The Lion Guard, TVLine has learned. Dhahabu is described as the “charismatic leader of a group of zebras.”

Kiara has thick shoulders

I think somebody set this site up as a back-door to Disney Junior's on demand videos, so you can watch today's episodes, and nearly every other one, here. Bunga's musical number about Simba is shit, so feel free to skip that part.

There should probably be more episodes that focus on them as a family.

What are people hoping for in season two? Anything?

Canon explanation of why Kion is nowhere to be seen in Lion King 2. (The producers have said this show is canon, so they really need to address this)

>>88940034
He becomes evil and has to be put down.
They foreshadow this by establishing the same thing happened to Scar.

In the TV Movie, Fuli didn't seem to like the lions and resented being bossed around by them. I wonder if that will ever be brought up again or if it was just a string of dialogue that added absolutely nothing to the show. I still think Fuli is my favorite character in this show.

>>88941448
Maybe she doesn't mind royalty like Kion but will mind any other lion

Nala is a cute! CUTE! She has the best expressions.

The real reason is because if a MALE character dominates a female and he's not a villain? Then it's seen as sexist and oppressive. You can thank political correctness for this emasculated beta male shit you see in media. A male good guy is to NEVER in any way succeed in opposing a female (unless she's ugly, gross, etc).

Strong women, the fantasy of a beta loser male.

Kion usually bests Fuli when they wrestle, but she's fast - not strong.

>>88942525
That's probably why so many people liked the men in Legend of Korra. All of them dominated the females and succeeded in opposing them or making them second fiddle to their screen time even if the female in question was supposed to have the spot light on her.

>>88942692
When did that happen? Sort of stopped watching after Season 1, but the main baddie there is...well the villain. So it's natural for him to have scenes where he dominates Korra because otherwise he'd be a failure of a villain.

I've been wondering: does Disney not know that when cats are on the bottom, they are at an ADVANTAGE? I think they don't really know how cats fight...

>>88929130
How do you "win" with your opponent in prime position to bicycle-kick the shit out of your guts with 10 claws? That's like declaring victory by grabbing your opponent's wrist and placing his knife at your own throat.

Kion is newly created for the animated lk world. Sort of "oops, we forgot a character that we put into the kid books...well, lets make a tv show about him"

These little comics are still getting released every month, in the Lion Guard magazine. Show gets more merchandise and direct support from Disney than many shows that I've seen.

And siblings but they're lions so in reality incest is normal behaviour for them

I wonder if they'll further refine their animation techniques for season two. I suppose that depends on if Mercury Filmworks is even animating it. They tend to be rather... mercenary in nature and only generally work on first seasons before they move to another show.

>It was at this stage in The Lion Guard’s production that things took a slightly different turn. Christian Larocque, animation director at Mercury Filmworks, wanted to find a more fluid way of animating characters in the short amount of time he had available to him. His idea was to “rig” the character in 3D first, which meant creating a digital puppet of each animal character, which the animators could then spin around and see from every angle.

>It was this technique, thought to be the first of its kind, that allowed the team to put the cartoon characters in every conceivable position, whether they were jumping on to rocks or leaping into the air. This allowed them to see how the characters would move in any given situation. “The rig has all the points of articulation; all the joints of the character, the mouth movements, the eye movements,” says Riley. Once the animators had used the 3D rig to work out how each character would look in each position, they could translate that into a 2D model to give the animation that authentic, “handdrawn” look.

>The 3D rigging meant, according to Riley, a lot of work at the “front end of production” – but the result was worth it. “We’ve all been blown away by how successful it’s been,” says Riley. “Everyone loves The Lion King so much, we’ve got to produce a show that tries to approach that level of quality.”

Male lions leave to make their own prides, so its possible for him to have left somewhere between the time Kiara was a kid (and we just didn't see him during those scenes) and the time she grew up.

I really like Kion, is nice to have a youg male character who is not insecure, cowardly, dumb or a hopeless horndog

>>88945478
I'd like to see him more when he's off-duty, but it's not like animals have a lot of hobbies. Running around and wrestling his friends is pretty much all he has to do, I suppose..

>inb4 the writers come up with some dumb spectacle like a bird theatre or a made up sport

The Lion King is one of Disney's highest grossing films of all time and has had 3 theatrical releases over 20 years so it isn't a surprise Disney is throwing money at this show aimed at preschoolers.

It does have a lot of toys. Numerous action figures and plush dolls. There's even been four different blind bag sets where you have to keep buying them if you want to try to get them all.

>>88948506
But the franchise had been abandoned for 15 years

The furries are going to have a field day

The last episode of season one will probably air in February. Kind of shitty that a 24 episode season took over a year to air, but that's modern scheduling for you.
