As I wrote above, inter-specific loves DO work and follows the Circle of Life. There had been notable number of infants without biological parents or families such as Bunga and Fuli, and Pumba and Timon raised Simba and Bunga and saved the bloodlines. Right!! I really don't understand why Kion and Rani had to be a thing, even for the possible continuation of the series/universe. Adoption is valid and has happened before in The Lion Guard, and it is even a good lesson to kids about adopting... or something. I dunno, just seems morally good.

Rani mainly bothers me due to the fact that she was introduced in the LAST HALF of the LAST SEASON. The main lure of romantic (or platonic, I suppose) relationships in cartoons/series as opposed to movies is that they get a lot more time to develop, but I guess the showwriters just decided to throw that out the window...

(also, I did not find Rani very interesting. She felt like watered-down Fuli ://///)
