Attention! The quiz is due in one minute!

The class:

I have come here with good intentions but I wrote a comment on Makuu's article and request permission to edit and follow the rules.

Please!!

I've always wanted to do one of these, never had the chance to.

Favourite Character - Ma Tembo: There's so much I love about Ma Tembo that would be difficult to distill into a quick paragraph. She's an elephant, which is really cool, and she's wise, calm, gentle, but she's also fearful, uncertain, and stubborn in tradition. Across Season 2, she has a genuinely really good character arc about being a leader, and when using force and standing up for yourself and others is warranted, and her relationship with Kion and parallels with his arc are quite touching (its definitely a better relationship than Kion has with his father or grandfather). Without a doubt the single most underrated character, I never see anyone talk about her but me

Least Favourite Character - Thurston: God do I hate this zebra. He's not outwardly offensive or grating or anything, he's just annoying and unfunny. I get that he's there to make kids laugh but he really does push it sometimes, and he makes the rest of the herds/non-lion pridelanders look pretty dumb by association. I almost put his season 3 stand-in 'Penguino' in here, because he's worse, but at least Penguino doesn't stick around for too long. Of the few good things I could say about Thurston, 'The Zebra Mastermind' is a catchy song, and the joke where he says 'I told you he knew my game!' is genuine gold and made my sides split. Three years of payoff were well worth it

Favourite LG Member - Beshte: Definitely the most underrated of the Lion Guard. I love characters who are gentle giants, kind and friendly to everyone, but still ready to throw down if someone is threatened, and not willing to let themselves or others be pushed around. It would be so easy to make Beshte an idiot; someone who doesn't know his own strength and gets easily manipulated/outsmarted by others, but they never even hint at anything like that and I really respect them for it.

Least Favourite LG Member - Fuli: Close-tie with Kion. I don't hate either of them, they're just the least interesting to me character-wise. In Season 1 I would have put Fuli in my number 3 spot (Beshte>Ono>Fuli>Bunga>Kion), but as that season and season 2, and ESPECIALLY in Season 3, she slowly loses the independence and (pardon the expression) cattiness that made her such an interesting character. Kion has always been sort of boring, and Bunga's character got absolutely assassinated in Season 3, but that was on purpose; they weren't trying to make Fuli boring and uninteresting, but she ends up being such a generic 'girl' character, with almost nothing to distinguish her from Rani, Jasiri, Anga, Kiara, etc. That qualifies for the worst to me.

Favourite Episode - Battle for the Pridelands: It sort of feels like cheating to put a special here, but it really is the peak of the Lion Guard. The character beats are good, the songs and music are top-tier (Except Scar's one), a lot of old minor characters get moments to shine, and the Scar plot is resolved surprisingly well. The scene where they leave the Pridelands is genuinely emotional and gets me every time. My only gripes with it are that it should have gone bigger; have every Pridelander be a part of Kion's Army (and give Scar Makucha's leoaprds to even it out), and have every old minor character show up to wish them goodbye (Tamaa, Chama, Kinyonga, Basi, Muhimu, etc), Janja's redemption arc was slightly rushed, and also randomly killing Ushari in the way that they did, after setting him up for redemption, was sort of horrible. All in all, it functions much better as a finale than the one we got, speaking of which;

Least Favourite Episode - Return to the Pridelands: Fails as a finale on almost every conceivable level. Contains so much bad fanservice for adult fans of TLKII, and not the Lion Guard's target audience. Vitani's Lion Guard flies in the face of everything the show stood for, and Kion getting married to a character we only knew for half a season is such a weird, weird way to end your kid's show. Even if I did like those elements though; it's a bad finale. 80% of its runtime is just an Olympics episode, wherein so much is retconned to force Kion's Lion Guard to lose just to advance the plot. And it doesn't care about wrapping up any side characters in a meaningful way, and it forgets to be about the core 5 characters of the show: there's no moment at the finale where they all reflect on how far they've come. Beshte, Fuli, Bunga, and Ono (with his head cropped out) all just stand in the crowd with unimportant side characters and shout "Yay! Kion!" I don't think I've ever been more disappointed by a series finale, and I watched Game of Thrones.

Overrated Character - Azaad: Very transparently thrown into the story so Fuli wouldn't be a romantic rival for Kion and Rani. Looks, acts, and sounds, way too old to be romantically interested in Fuli. Has that really annoying generic personality trait of 'I'm a cool guy, I know more than anybody else because I'm the best', but the show seems to weirdly agree with him, they have him mediate the discussion between the two Lion Guards in the finale, as if neither of them are mature enough to sort out their differences on their own. Only popular because he's a cat

Underrated Character - King Sokwe: (Ma Tembo, Beshte, and Makuu should all be here above him, but I didn't want to use anybody twice) He's a silverback gorilla king of a rainforest/mountain kingdom neighbouring the Pridelands, who apparently have a peace treaty with the lions, implying a lion/gorilla war? How is that not a worldbuilding gold-mine? Granted, he only has a tiny bit of screentime, but so does 'Strange Lion', Askari, and any cave painting featuring a lion. If this character had been a lion, we would have seen a thousand pieces of fanart and headcanons about him by now (Same goes for Ma Tembo, Beshte, and Makuu tbf)

Favourite Villain - Makuu: I know he's not a villain anymore, but he was, so he still counts. Makuu is genuinely one of the best written characters I've ever seen on children's television, and without a doubt one of the best redemption arcs. He starts out mean, cocky, arrogant, and a really dangerous massive crocodile, that's everything you need for a great villain right there. But then he expresses a desire to be a good leader of his float, to work with others, to make peace, and he even has to contend with a younger crocodile who was just like him, and ends up proving everything Pua said about him to Kion right. But even when he 'turns good', he's still a little mean, snappy, and blunt, it's not a good-evil light switch that gets turned on and off, it's a long and gradual process. He has a really good arc over Season 2 about learning to accept other's help, and be respectful/more gentle/forgiving of smaller/weaker animals. It's fascinating to parallel that with Ma Tembo's arc (I sort of highkey ship them)

Least Favourite Villain - Makucha: Makucha is fantastic in Seasons 1 and 2: he shows up, he's really threatening and scary, and the Lion Guard chase him off, it's really good. But then in Season 3 he's the villain of the week, following the Lion Guard around, doing nothing interesting other than attacking them occasionally, and getting blasted away every episode. The more he gets defeated, the less threatening he appears. Like with Fuli, it ruins a once interesting character

Favourite Song - On the Last Night: It's a emotional song about the main characters reflecting how far they've come and the troubles they have ahead, if it were a stage musical it would be the end of act 1 number. Every main character gets their own little moment, and it's the only song they have all together with just themselves. The harmonies are really clean and immaculate (I've spent hours figuring out the notes, if anyone wants them), it makes great use of instruments, starting off with soulful piano, then rousing snare drums, then triumphant electric guitar, and it's all around just really great. And I know this idea is kind of ruined by having a scene immediately after where Kion talks to Mufasa, but if you watch it in isolation, Kion goes through a journey of being unsure of himself and wanting to talk to someone (presumably his grandfather), but then realising his friends are all the support he needs, he even looks up at the sky when they leave, then smiles and shakes his head before walking away, it's a nice idea. This song is everything at the heart of the Lion Guard that makes it so good.

Least Favourite Song - The Twelves Ways of Christmas: It feels anticlimactic to end on the thing I have the least to say about, but it's just bad. The Twelve Days of Christmas is already bad and too long, so shoving it in the middle of a 20-minute episode and replacing the words with sort of unfunny jokes (I hate the 'Panic and Run' one, it doesn't even make sense), really doesn't help it. 'Christmas in the Pridelands' is an absolute bop though, close to the top of my list, I listen to it every holiday season now

Favorite Character: Bunga! He was my favorite ever since Return of the Roar came. I especially liked it when he challenged the hyenas in the first scene. Even though Bunga can be reckless, he always had a special place in my heart. I also previously made a post with other reasons why.

Least Fav Character: Zuri! In day one, Kiara (TLG only), Tiifu, and Zuri got on my nerves when they were freaking out over bugs in front of my favorite TLK characters, Timon and Pumbaa. Kiara and Tiifu improved for me, but not Zuri.

Favorite TLG Member: Bunga ^^

Least Fav TLG Member: Kion! I like Kion, but I didn't like his development in Season 3, and I didn't like what he said to Timon when he said, "No one can beat the Zimwi." Kion said, "Maybe he can't..." in a way that he couldn't do it. Maybe it was meant to be funny, but it seemed to be arrogant in a way (no offense to Kion fans here). It's just if I had to choose a least favorite, it's him.

Favorite Episode: The Search for Utamu because it's really cute seeing how Timon and Pumbaa adopted Bunga. It showed family love, and it's one of the most memorable episode for me.

Least Fav Episode: Can't Wait to be Queen: I really don't like this one mainly because Kiara, Tiifu, and Zuri got on my nerves once again. However, I was thinking about doing Return to the Pridelands, but I liked the ending, so I didn't put that one in.

Overrated Character: Both Kion and Fuli...because they have a lot of praise that overshadows the other Lion Guard members in my opinion. Like I said, I like both of them, but I prefer the other members, who aren't as praised as them.

Underrated Character: Beshte...no one ever talks about Beshte. He's the heart, support, and the glue that holds everyone together. He needs more love, and he's my second favorite Lion Guard member after Bunga. Bonus points for him when he saves Timon from falling off the acacia tree.

Favorite Villain: Mama Binturong because she's cunning and scheming. I like her rivalry with Bunga, and that she's the brains of the outfit in Makucha's Army. She's also so underrated. Mama needs more love.

Least Fav Villain: Mapagiano because he's just a bully rather than a villain, and he was in only one episode.

Favorite Song: Who's Better Than You...it's supposed to be a competition between Bunga and Binga, but it's so cute at the same time! Just why? I can never get over this song!

Least Fav Song: Go Go Flamingo...Just not a fan of this song. Tbh, sometimes I call it the "song of torture" because I really don't like it and it bothered me a lot. However, I got used to the song, but it's still my least favorite.

If you want to make a Lion Guard controversy meme, then here's the blank template, and I can't wait to see yours!

No negative, rude or offensive comments please! Thank You!

What if Anakin Skywalker went to the Tree of Life to prevent his evil persona Darth Vader from taking over his body once more just like how Kion went to prevent himself from ending up like Scar.

How did i end up on this wiki
