Talk:Battle for the Pride Lands/@comment-40208359-20190728001250

I'm guessing all the scenes we see from the promo are from the first part of the episode? I'm assuming it's a two-parter special. So, the Guard and Pride Landers seemingly try to "defeat Scar once and for all" and, even with the wisdom of Mufasa, Kion loses in some way and gets scarred? He and Ono are said to get injured, so I'm guessing the others barely manage to escape with them... but how does the Tree of Life come into play? By 'their strengths', does that mean that Kion may lose the Roar of the Elders and Ono may be blinded/lose his sight? Or does it mean that they get hurt and the Pride Lands gets taken back over by Scar while Kion believes they have failed and are dishearted, only to be given help by possibly Rani and the Night Pride (given that Rani seems to welcome them to the Tree of Life)?

It is interesting that we don't see Kion once with his new scars in the promo, suggesting the battle takes place at the end of the first part and he gets scarred then, with the journey to the Tree of Life set to take up the majority of the second part before they return with a renowned sense of strength and defeat Scar?

It would be cool to see the Night Pride help them in taking back their home, much like how Timon and Pumba weren't from the Pride Lands and yet helped Simba reclaim it.

I really hope we get to see Kion doubtful of himself again, perhaps Mufasa telling him to "remain true to who he is" results from him believing he is becoming like Scar after getting his own, similar scars? It would be great to have Kion sing a song similar to his lament from Return of the Roar... even more so if this time his friends join in with him and give him support.

Heck, maybe the hyenas leave Scar (and possibly Janja) and join with the guard after taking over the Pride Lands ― perhaps Scar betrays them or they realise that there will be no food at all with Scar in charge?
