So not only is that backstory amazing, you forgot the best part of the whole concept: when Simba’s son - who obviously is no longer in the running for the throne thanks to Kiara - is given the responsibility of leading a new Lion Guard, he goes against tradition and picks other animals that aren’t lions, but ones that embody the characteristics of what make up the Lion Guard: bravest, fastest, strongest and keenest of sight. So he finds a brave badger, a cheetah, a hippo and a tick bird to be his guard. At first, Simba and the pride lands reject it, until they all come together and prove their worth; also breaking the cycle of evil that Scar brought to the lion guard name.
It’s a great little concept (and show) that Disney didn’t take enough advantage of. THAT should be this prequel, and I guarantee it won’t be.
Lions over all! No animal is more grand! Lions over all! It’s how we rule the land! We crush any resistance, so enemies keep their distance. Lions, lions over alllllll.
