I know I'm late to the party, but this seemed like a fun post to comment on.

I hate Makuu; he was really poorly handled in my opinion. He was okay in season one to me, he was tolerable. At least he had an origin unlike the rest.

Aside from that though, I can't stand him. Let's start off with a defense I saw a while back about him being immature in season one. Yeah; immature doesn't equal threatening to kill the queen in front of her son. I'm honestly surprised Simba forgave him for that at all, as if I were Nala's mate, Makuu would've gone strait to the Out lands.

He was also pretty pointless in Beshte and the hippo lanes and Ono the tickbird, where he only existed to be the antagonist. Which the episodes didn't need.

Though, the worst part is by far the Savannah summit. Apparently pouncing is a terrible crime, cause few people seem to hate this one as much as I do. Here's what I got from watching it. Simba's an idiot and forgives Makuu for attempting murder of his family, Kion gets scolded for giving a justified reaction to him showing up without knowing (though I will admit I wouldn't have pounced on him, but I can see why Kion did.), and then Makuu throws a hissy fit and leaves after a third time, and then Simba throws a hissy fit and everyone who's watching was hypnotized that Kion ruined the summit (Anyone else think this was just done to have Mufasa come around?), and Makuu ultimately has a forced reformation, and wraps up his arc that never happened.

So basically, Makuu starts off as an okay but impatient brat that gets what he wants after he throws a fit over not getting his food when he wanted it, and then he threatens to kill Nala in front of her son, Kion (Keep in mind that I love Never Roar Again, but Savannah Summit is my least favorite episode of the show.), and the has two episodes where he's the main antagonist, and then he throws a hissy fit in Savannah Summit and gets his way, even though he never did anything to deserve his redemption to begin with.

Anyone want to tell me how he's a GOOD character please?
