Like I said in another topic, Zira doesn't appear in The Lion King. None of his so-called followers appear during the final battle either. Why is it okay for Simba's Pride to have inconsistencies like this, but not The Lion Guard?

From the moment TLG was premiered I've been really missing romantic themes and scenes, which we could see in the original movie. This makes the show very childish and too simplified at times. As an aromantic, this is one of the main reasons why I love this show so much. Romance is shoe-horned into everything these days, even places where it's unnecessary or unrealistic. I disagree that it makes it childish or even simplified, since these are characters who probably aren't into romance at this stage.

That being said, the subtle hints we have with Azaad and Fuli suggest that maybe the show is starting to show us these feelings now that they're at an age where they start to feel like this.
