Greg Lion wrote: I don't consider the whole show as canon because Kiara never had a brother in the original movie. I know that Ford Riley was trying to make S3 more "suitable" with the events in TLG2, but this cannot change the fact that noone in the original Lion King ever mentioned either Kion or his Lion Guard whatsoever. And noone could as this was twenty years ago.

I think I would prefer to watch the new feature film "The Lion King 3" rather than next season of TLG since this is only a spin-off and also it's directed to, in my opinion, wrong group of audience - little kids, preschoolers. From the moment TLG was premiered I've been really missing romantic themes and scenes, which we could see in the original movie. This makes the show very childish and too simplified at times. At what point would Kion have appeared or been mentioned? The conflicts don't overlap except for Kion meeting Zira and co. after Kiara did, which doesn't cause any problems. Kion would've been too young to have been seen playing with Kiara or anything in TLK2 early on, and it doesn't seem like they hang around much as cubs anyway according to what we've seen in TLG. And he and the Guard were gone when she was on her hunt and thereafter. Where is the conflict?
