Fuli episode

Makini continues to be useful

Continued sense of urgency and tension for Kion, good for any episode

Azaad is cool, thought he was going to just be a jerk but no he's honestly pretty nice

Even though I dislike the flamingos, that song was epic

Cons-

The flamingos, yeah they added to the tension but they just really annoyed me I don't like the way they are portraying Kion in this season. This constant 'hanging on the edge of losing control' was already old to me by this last episode. I don't like how they are portraying Kion is this sorta child whom they all most constantly watch over now. They are making him much less competent than he was when he was a cub. I feel like they are also sidelining Kion and trying to make Fuli the main protagonist. I REALLY don't like that. I really like Fuli, but I don't like her enough to want the last season of this show to focus on her. I'll admit it can get a little annoying to have the focus of most episodes being the tuliza and Kion losing control all the time but I guess I personally don't mind it that much, it adds something to the show to just spice it up a little. Absolutely. But EVERY episode? They can't throw in one where they have more than enough Tuliza to last and Kion is acting like his old self? Gotta admit, the whole 'oh no we're out of Tuliza' thing is getting old. Although I do enjoy seeing Kion on edge, it's a break from the previous seasons where Kion was almost always the hero with zero flaws. Guess you missed a lot of episodes from previous seasons. Many episodes were about Kion growing as an individual. That's not what I meant. He can do that, but not including a couple, like Can't Wait to be Queen, he had zero flaws about him at all. Being young? Lack of confidence? Trusting? Overly skeptical? An irrational fear of becoming like Scar? No flaws, huh? Trusting isn't seen in a flaw, neither is being young in these shows. If anything, they're pros. Fear of becoming like Scar isn't a flaw either, unless he makes a large amount of mistakes to go with it (which - gasp - he doesn't). And being skeptical isn't a flaw either.

Flaws are things like rushing into danger without thinking things through (Bunga), ignoring advice from others (like Fuli does in TSFU), thinking you're better than everyone around you (which he did in CWTBQ, but never again), being bad at fighting, poor communication skills, the list goes on. True it's throughout the series this show has confused people more than the films did, but during Season 3 the cubs are doing stuff with less rushing and more thinking.
