I mean that Zira's character, behaviour and overall portrayal (even down to her voice) in the show was pretty accurate to her TLK2 self. It wasn't perfect in every sense, but it was about as close as the series could've gotten it, with its certain limitations.

Scar might not have had much screentime or lines yet, but the way he's handled you can already tell he'll be very cartoonish. I mean, just the fact that they kept referring to him as an "evil lion" and "legend of darkness" (even the hyenas, who aren't even supposed to think of him as a bad guy) already says a lot, for one thing. Scar's ghost really should've been a more "psychological" villain that only existed for Kion, and who only made a rare appearance once or twice during the entire series. Instead, now he's apparently gonna be some sort of an "advisor" for the rest of the villains, who'll keep appearing throughout the season like a typical villain. The former idea had so much more potential. Not to mention, it kinda throws the entire "he lives in you" concept under the bus, now that literally anybody can contact him from beyond the dead.
