ABOUT THE LION KING/THE LION GUARD

I really enjoy the Lion King's spin off called "The Lion Guard" series and the movie "Return of the roar"   
Kion and his friends Fuli, Besthe, Ono and Bunga are really adorable!   
I personally believe that Ono is the most adorable of all.  
The Lion Guard is a great attempt to entertain the kids and teach them about animals and the environment.
I do enjoy the painted backgrounds and the animation itself, because even though they use Flash they use the Frame by Frame method and this is a great respect towards the original movies! Literally the best Flash animation I have ever seen!

Maybe they should try to stop mentioning "The circle of Life" that much, because...it ruins the beauty...
And they should also stop making Mufasa appearing that often. It's more mysterious this way.

Some people get confused about the timeline: "Why is Kiara still a cub?" and "Where was the Lion Guard when the war happened in The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride"?

I personally believe that TLG takes place right after Kiara met Kovu for the first time, but BEFORE Kiara's first hunt.
This means that Kiara is not really a cub, but a teen lion which explains the major change in her personality (which I don't agree with). Yes, her body is way too small. She should be bigger compared to Kion and not look like his twin!

In terms of her personality, I don't like that she became the type of girl who agrees with the rules etc. 
She was always rebellious and a free spirit. She hated the duty of being a queen.
I am saying that it doesn't make sense because even as an adult, she still had the same personality as a cub.
Maybe she was doing it to get papa Simba's attention.
Actually, from what I see there's kinda favoritism there. Kiara gets more attention than Kion by their father.
Papa's little girl??

Also I've noticed that her design looks more feminine. I miss the old playful, kinda tomboyish little cub with the golden fur. 
Well, she is still adorable!

To be honest, Kiara and Kion remind of Ben and Gwen Tennyson from the original series!
The boy is playful and wants to be the hero, while the girl is smart mature and wants to do the right thing.

Kiara had always a very special place in my heart!  
She's one of my favorite characters ever and I believe that I watched TLK2 before the original movie. 
The second movie came out in 1998, 1 year after my birth.
Everybody used to call me Kiara in my family because I was exactly like her in terms of personality and because back then I had big ears!
Well, my life is similar to hers in many ways.
Controlling parents,  finding love when you didn't expect it etc.

ABOUT THE PICTURE
In the Lion Guard, Kiara had two best friends called Zuri and Tiifu.

At first, they were nice, but in the series they got mean. I was expecting that from Zuri, but not Tiifu.
"Kion! Listen to your QUEEN KIARA!"
"You DON'T get to become the queen Kion! Hehe!"

Oh wow... -_- No wonder why Scar got evil and tried to murder his older brother in order to become the king....
I wanna make a parody about that!
Well, I tried to redraw one of the scenes in TLK2 in which Kiara was blocked by two lionesses so she wouldn't stop Simba from banishing Kovu form the Pridelands.
I made the lionesses to be Zuri and Tiifu because it would make sense!
I believe that Zuri wouldn't even like Kovu. She would try to stay away from him.
Tiifu would give him a chance, but she wouldn't fully trust him.

Well,
"He's not one of us!"
