Board Thread:Lion Guard Discussion/@comment-28418914-20190914014007

I was thinking about possible solutions of how the writers could revert all recent unexpected changes of roles in The Lion Guard. And one idea came up to me and seemed quite reasonable. The first matter to consider is: why Kion chose to become the king of the Tree of Life? Was it because he truly has romantic feelings for Rani despite their short history or maybe he just wants to get the power and the title that he couldn't acquire back home in the Pride Lands? The second matter: why Rani proposed Kion to become her mate and king of the Tree of Life? Does she really have feelings for Kion or maybe she just wants to keep his Roar at the Tree of Life to serve her family and her subjects? Another problem which bothers me is that how easily Kion decided to give away his position of the leader of the lion guard to Vitani and so the Roar and the Mark of the Guard. He and his friends have been doing a great job protecting animals of the Pride Lands and the Outlands and surely they got used to it as an essential and obvious part of their lives. But to me, the most unexpected was Vitani's behavior at the moment when the real lion guard came back home. While just pretending to be the lion guard Vitani's group was acting very harsly and mean to Kion and his friends, which is hard to explain since Simba should have informed Vitani that she needs to stand in for the lion guard only until Kion eventually returns from his journey to the Tree of Life.

So here is my idea of how to bring Kion and his friends back home and give them back their place in the Pride Lands as the Lion Guard.

1. Kion accidentally overhears a discussion between Rani and her friend who's asking her about her relationship with Kion. Kion finds out that Rani actually doesn't have feelings for him and the only reason why she proposed him to become the king of the Tree of Life was to keep his roar in her service and to use it to her own advantage. At this moment, Kion realises how big mistake he made by returning to the Tree of Life and becoming its king. He  breaks up with Rani and gets back to the Pride Lands.

2. Once the guard is home, Kion challenges Vitani and informs her about the fact that she and her team haven't passed their tests in the Cave of Secrets, which are neccessary to prove if they are worthy of their position. Vitani accepts the challenge, but her guard fails to pass the tests. In result, Kion becomes again the rightful leader of the lion guard and so his friends can have their marks of the guard back.

I know that probably most of you have already accepted the guard's switch in roles, but anyway tell me what do you think about my idea. Does it make sense, would it be a good story for the 4th season or would you rather see the new series about our heroes as the new Night Lion Guard?
