I don't mind Bunga either, but I really don't like how his connection with Timon and Pumbaa is being handled. It feels too sudden and intrusive, like they're trying to replace Simba with Bunga in their circle.

You would expect the them to be closer with Simba and his cubs because of the strong connection they already have and with Pumbaa already claiming to be Kiara's uncle. But Bunga randomly comes out of nowhere and gets in the way of all that. I wouldn't care as much if the writters acknowlegded the type of connection Timon and Pumbaa have with the royal family and merged Bunga with the group, but Timon and Pumbaa being HIS uncles is the only part being focused on. It's like the writters forgot that this would also Simba and his cubs in the process.

I really loved the friendship Timon, Pumbaa and Simba had in the movies and I can't help but feel some type of way when it gets tampered with...I just wanna see them act like that again.
