User blog:AndrewShilohJeffery/My thoughts on a fourth season of the Lion Guard

Okay, let me just say this as calmly as possible. You guys need to understand that making an animated series like the Lion Guard takes a lot of time and especially money. now, I'm assuming that production on this series started back in 2012 and the first episode aired in 2016. That's a good four years in production. Not to mention the many rewritings that the writers and storyboard artists had to do to make the series as good as possible. Plus, most of the animators and production staff have probably moved on when production wrapped up back in March. Also, from a storytelling standpoint, I don't think a season four would make any sense since Kion and his friends are no longer members of the Lion Guard. A new series about Kion, Rani and the Night Pride, I wouldn't be opposed to, but I believe a season four wouldn't be such a good idea.

On a side note, I know a good many of you wish that Kion and Fuli or Kion and Jasiri got together in the series, but you should remember that crossbreeding was never really a thing in the Lion King films (the first two, not 1 1/2. That one is not canon in my eyes, but that's a story for another time). Plus, the Lion Guard was trying to be semi-educational, so I think having Kion pair up with a cheetah or hyena would confuse the heck out of its audience. Sorry if this seemed super long, but thank you to anyone who took the time to read this. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.
