Top Ten Reasons Why The Lion Guard Is Going to Suck

Yes. Disney obviously hated every hyena that exists. They are so rude. Simba is racist and will KILL EVERY.. HYENA. EVER. No. Just. NO. - HyenaLover

Why is it wrong to introduce at least ONE hyena that's a goody two shoes?

TheRe is going to be one good hyena in the show

Frankly they should try something like with the Changelings in MLP: FiM, one becomes good, then a bunch but not all of them, like in season 6. Then it would be better and make more sense and people wouldn't think "oh hyenas are evil wah". - SailorSedna

It's just 'lion' with a K. Not creative at all.

It is just 'lion' with a different letter, although it might be short for 'kiongozi', which is the Swahili word for 'leader'...

No is not

What the hell does Kion mean anyway?
Dumb? Stupid? Or maybe just plain weird. I dunno...

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's animation is much better, in fact, that whole show is better. - SailorSedna

What? Really? It was a rip-off to MLP! - Neonco31

So true. From the animation style to using veteran voice actors/actresses from both anime and western animation to play guest stars in different episodes, I think TLG is trying too hard to be like MLP: FIM.

The quality looks like it came out of those lame Land Before Time sequels that have been releasing over the years.

Ugh, its not a cutie mark! Just because it's a symbol that appears when doing something special or something related to your special talent doesn't mean it was intentional to be a cutie mark! - Gabriola

Aw great. The MLP of Disney Channel! - Neonco31

I enjoyed Nuka until now...

And you thought the MLP fandom was bad? Just stay out of the TLK fandom. I'm warning you.

It is the most overrated franchise in Disney history.

And it is getting even worse now with this series being a new addition... TLG is so cringe-worthy it reeks.

Plus, TLG is the worst show of today's generation.

There are so many topics in The Lion Guard that could be somewhat 'adult' for a show intended for the toddler demographic. These themes would be fit better in a PG/PG-13/R rated film, TV14/TVMA-rated show, E10/T/M-rated game or even a hentai anime than a Disney Jr. show. The Lion Guard contains death, violence, suggestive themes and toilet humor. Heck, a female zebra gives live birth in one episode in the show. (Although it wasn't graphic nor do we see the birth, but still pretty dark) I am very surprised that no parent or political correct person complained about the controversies and explicit overtones in the show.

MLP at least does handle it's theme properly - Neonco31

I think bungas the first ever Disney Jr. Character to fart. I man did anyone remember stuffy farting on doc mcstuffins, or clover on Sofia first for the ostrich on miles from tommarowland farting

I don't know if Disney Jr. has fart jokes

Yeah, by the looks of it, Bunga acts rather mean. I know he's supposed to be the "bravest" but there's a difference between being brave and acting like some bully who doesn't give a care about anyone.

A doggone honey badger is one of the heroes, yet honey badgers are the meanest animals in reality. How come it gets to be a hero and a hyena can't?

Writer: Hey boss! Boss:what? Writer:I have the perfect idea for a animal! Boss:so..what is the animal? Writer:A hippo! Boss: Genius! A Overpowered animal that has even more powers! What could possibly go wrong! Basically the lion guard in a nutshell...

When I saw the first five minutes of tlg on YouTube I thought it was going to be after the lion king 2, BUT NO! The show could be more better if it were after tlk 2 :T

Not to mention that they never let the hyenas eat, they always stop them, just because they're supposed to be the villains of the show.

Yeah! It is super annoying. The Lion Guard just does not let anyone eat. They don't respect the circle of life.

Alright, who chases away animals because they are starving and just came for food? I was pissed off when I saw that new episode. Poor tiger didn't get to eat. I wish he ate farnold. Or whatever that kids name is. Stop messing with the food chain.

They chase away the hyenas because they try take a whole herd of, Zebra, Antelope, Gazelle, etc. - Fuli201

I fear the thought of shippers pairing up Fuli with either RD or Sonic once the show is running.

Yep because I remember seeing the lk and I saw the daughter but she was born in the 1990s and she sounds like she's 4 even if she's older then kion

They were, the episode aired today and it was very disappointing.

When are they Guest Starring

They are guest starring

I agree with the anon on the top.

It is possible that the reason for Sarabi's absence in this, as well as The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride and such, was because her original voice actress passed away. As with Zira, if Sarabi were to appear again, she will most likely have a new actress. It is possible that Sarabi may still be alive at the time of TLG/TLKII, just not seen anywhere, yet.

I always thought she died during the events of lk2

They've made Kiara a loyal and independent lioness to a whiny child-like brat with a sassy attitude! what

This is a reason why I think The Lion King sequels are this underrated. - The Ultimate Daredevil

Male hyenas don't lead clans nor do they behave like dogs, female ostriches are a different color from the males, zebras don't make horse noises, the list goes on and on.

Spotted hyenas live in clans, not trios. Stupid cliches nowadays.
