That being said, the subtle hints we have with Azaad and Fuli suggest that maybe the show is starting to show us these feelings now that they're at an age where they start to feel like this. You can be right about their age, but now as they now grew older, maybe it's time they should start getting in some romantic relationships as teens use to do.

Apart from that, I believe that the whole show would be much more straightforward with the original movie if it happened after events in Simba's Pride. It would be so simple: after Kiara and Kovu got together and Simba accepted Kovu in his pride, Simba had another cub, Kion who then became a leader of the Lion Guard. This would make sense.
