Honestly guys, be happy something to expand the Lion King's world after so many years of hearing and seeing nothing new added to the franchise sbout it.

I mean The Lion Guard might not be everyone's cup of a good series, yeah I hear you boys there screaming of course it is on Disney Junior this can't be a series for adults and teenagers to enjoy and have fun with, yeah, fine taste is something to be argued about as well as art, which this series is, and even though many feel it should have/could have been better in few or more things...

Look at the series The Lion Guard a little bit differently and let me get this straight to you:

Sooo, I think if this ends up tying all those loose plotholes, comprehensional errors, comfusing things that seem to make no sense that happened at the moment of it and after the show in The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride, where it was all about teaching the moral of all lions being the same species and belonging together as a big, happy, united family pride (We are one versus the new Sisi ni Sawa of The Lion Guard), the big driving and empathic storytelling focus of The Lion Guard as well to shortly notice to you, but only told in a new, different way for the other way younger audience target group of toddlers up to preschool children, than compared to the original The Lion King, that was aimed at a much wider audience not only families, but for all the ages of humans, then I really not only feel that Mr. Riley did all that he could take and give and even add in complete new knowledge sbout the country Africa, where our story unfolds, and even includes the language Swahili in a way so that even someone new to this strange sounding, foreign language can start learning to speak words or even senctences in it and to boost this even more even get to know at a fairly young age of childhood facts about the science, biology, physics and geology and nature and animal and flowers behaviour, lives and appearances in the real life locations of the country Africa, to all of us as the audience with this story of Kion as Kiara's little brother we never ever have heard of or seen in the The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride, then I feel he has not only achieved his goal, but also brought interesting things and facts to someone, who was perhaps totally oblivious about how much there is to be discovered in a movierealm like The Lion King/Guard series and its franchise spin off materials than might meet the eye of the beholder, when first being overlooked at.

(Kopa and Chaka fans out there remember that Disney once started out with the concept of Simba's Pride having two lion cubs to Simba and Nala, Chaka or Kopa, the more adventurous and disobedient type of boy getting traits from his father and Aisha, Shani (later renamed for better matching the name to Kovu as Kiara meaning bright and clear in celtic language) to grow up together until Kiara assumes the throne to take her place as Queen of the Pridelands and her little brother supporting her as a kind of advising consulter to the Queen), but it was all pushed to the bin, because of time constraint problem for the movie to be goo long to simply watch and enjoy it. So all of it went into nothingness and can only be reminded and be looked at as deleted scenes, early story concepts and thrown way garbage rubbish, that it not longer needed. So in a way in contribution to the 25th anniversary of the Lion King this year in a certain philosophical, moralic kind of way we and the producers as well have finally become 'FULL CIRCLE with the Universe of The Lion King and all that continues to move and create a part of each of our cultures for many generations to come, because we not only have learned so much about Africa, the animals and plants that live there, but also have seen the lions act in a anthropomorhic kind of way that stirrs our emotions and makes it all so moving and relatable to each and everyone of us in the world. And to add to the joy we finally know what a live action remake that hyperrealistic with acutal animals generated in CGI photo realism looks and feels like and understand even better why Kion and the Lion Guard characters weren't part of the movie The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride and see how it all logically makes sense and ties in the canon of the universe of The Lion King world.

So no, I don't feel sorry for all this ending, I enjoyed the long journey of (self)discovery, learning and growing up and getting to know the importance of moralic lessons like friendship, family, trust, self-esteem, confidence, courage, honesty, tolerance, acceptance, wisdom, love and understanding empathic situations.

Thank you so much, Mr. Ford Riley for creating the missing puzzle piece to make all of the happenings and confusing things that didn't add up in Simba's Pride to acutally finally begin to look logic, rational and even in a little amount feel relatable, too.

After reading what you wrote I think you might actually be right and some of the stuff you wrote I’m starting to remember that I’ve noticed them on the show and I just didn’t think about it before. I’m really gonna miss the lion guard though but who knows maybe they might take a break from the show and after their break they might bring the show back to continue the lion king franchise.
