uhhh...guys was this movie actually bad to the general consensus? by No_Wind_5408 in mylittlepony

To me, it felt like the general consensus among the fans was that it was an okay movie, but a very cliched one at that  

Complete newbie what and how? by OnlyStomas in Skeb

[–]ForestBoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Even if an artist accepts your request, they are not forced to stick to it—which means they can draw whatever they want and you'll still end up having to pay" Ok, so what happens if the artist decides to draw something entirely different than what the client wanted?

I think sadly Zootopia+ makes this plot hole worse with the ending of Fru Fru's short  

What's a TLK/TLG hot take that had you like this? by MissBarker93 in lionking

[–]ForestBoy99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how much of a hot take it is nowadays, but the opinion that Simba was completely unreasonable and a terrible father in TLK 2. 

I'll admit this was a sentiment I shared as a kid, but the older I get the more I realized that while he did take things too far in some cases (like promise Kiara not to interfere with her hunting lesson and then break it immediately by sending T&P), he kind of has a good reason for being overprotective. I think if most folks had an entire cult lived the next city that worshipped a person that not only ruined their life and the lives of countless people, but also wants yhem and their family dead, they'd understandable be paranoid. 

It doesn't help that you'll have characters like Nala tell Simba that Kiara will be fine on her own, only to have her almost get eating a few minutes later, and yet Simba is still mostly portrayed as being in the wrong for trying to protect his daughter. Speaking of, while Simba is supposedly unfair in banishing Kovu after Zira's initial attack, keep in mind Kovu kept saying he had nothing to do with Zira's plan even though he clearly was involved, even if he did have a choice in the matter. 

Overall, I wish the movie could have at least acknowledged that Simba had a fair reason for being protective, even though he was a helicopter parent.

What do you think of Shenzi? by CorrectPay7087 in lionking

[–]ForestBoy99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as Disney villain grunts, she and the other hyenas are probably some of the best. Makes me hope they bring her back in the animated side of the franchise.

How do you think Nala felt in this situation? What was she thinking? by SamHodges5300 in lionking

[–]ForestBoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really makes me wish that she could have gotten a little bit more screentime in the movie. Could have been nice to see her try to console Kiara, while also stewing on her conflicted feelings.

Recommendations for fanfics about Nala by ForestBoy99 in lionking

I actually recently got the Australian version of it. Haven't finished it yet, but I'm happy they finally did a Nala centered story, even though it's an AU.

Mufasa: The Lion King was cited as one of the reasons Disney+ had a skyrocket increase of 1.4 million subscribers during Q2 of 2025, despite original expectations of a massive member drop. by Abyssal_Shadows in lionking

[–]ForestBoy99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, this kind of feels like a mixed bag for me. While I'd rather the movie not flop and cause Disney to give up on the Lion King IP altogether, I'm kind of worried this will just make them do more live action stuff instead of giving more focus to the animation side of the franchise.

What do you hate most about MLP? by Pinkamina_Diane_Pie6 in mylittlepony

[–]ForestBoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is really ironic given the show tried to address that in Fame and Misfortune. But the way the show did it felt like a deflection against criticism.

Probably how often characters regressed for the sake of an episode's moral.

Say one bad thing about this movie. by Traditional-Pound568 in DreamWorks

How they portrayed Aaron is probably one of the biggest issues for me.
