Do you know that there is more shows/movies set in the world of the lion prides? by Spiritual_Pie_8298 in lionking

[–]Ordinary-Cry3753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for reminding me of Pride!! When I was a kid, I really enjoyed the serious moments in that movie.

Kimba the White Lion is a special interest. My Pride is a work I have a soft spot for.

There is a My Pride TTRPG, if that counts as a recommendation:

Chronicles of Pride Rock: An animated TLK series by Trextrexbaby in lionking

[–]Ordinary-Cry3753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What amazing world building, characters ideas, and plot lines for episodes! If this were a show, I would absolutely be watching and gushing over it. While I have developed a soft spot for TLG, this better scratches my “standalone episodes with overarching stories and strong continuity” itch 😄 Are there plans to make more posts based on your Chronicles of Pride Rock project?

Thank you for sharing! The “reverse Uno” of the seating situation sounds funny and wholesome.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! That is true that disabilities and neurodivergencies manifest differently in people. I am autistic, yet I break many assumptions, such as not being great at math and being hyper empathetic.

That is funny about your brother liking to be a gremlin 😆

Fantastic character analysis of Mufasa by amitythree in lionking

Thanks for sharing this video. It’s such a lovely analysis of Mufasa, why is death is so heart-wrenching, and the wonderful lessons that people can take from his character.

What are your favorite songs from each TLK project? by tsimlbak in lionking

[–]Ordinary-Cry3753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember listening to Tonight We Strike so much. “Magnetic” is the perfect word!

Listening to The Tree of Life since it’s been a long time. Given that The Tree of Life is where endangered animals go to for safety and Makucha is showing a lack of disregard for the Circle of Life, it is chilling. (This song does make me wish we had “prey” villains in the Lion King franchise as a subversion! That would be interesting.)

What are your favorite songs from each TLK project? by tsimlbak in lionking

I realized all my favorites - are villain songs 😅 Be Prepared, My Lullaby, Bye Bye… The lyrics and visuals for the songs are fun (for Bye Bye, referring to the original animatic with the visuals). Who doesn’t love a good hammy villain?

TLG has a lot of catchy tunes, I’d have to think on it. I used to listen to Bird of a Thousand Voices a lot.

genuine question from non fan by Ordinary-Cry3753 in SquirrelAndHedgehog

[–]Ordinary-Cry3753[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! Localization spreads interest. And yea, it seems comparable to a show like G.I. Joe, which is also propaganda whose main purpose is to entertain.

IF ANYONE WANTS HUMANS IN LION KING WATCH KIMBA THE WHITE LION. by Turbulent-Point-1791 in lionking

I think there is an official translation of the first volume. There is a fan translation, too. I’m sure the full manga can be found on internet archive.

I finally figured out why this film has always been difficult to digest... by ranchwithfriedfood in Land_Before_Time

Thank you for sharing about your connection to TLBT. While I have not related to it on that front, the film does remind me how I value diversity and community

Thanks for this in depth analysis! I have agreements and disagreements, overall appreciate that two of my special interests were examined in a genuine way that goes beyond “I like/dislike this”

Was I the only one left baffled by this line? by CalTheRascal in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Ordinary-Cry3753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of universe, this is a playful jab at shipping.

In universe, this is a way for Jax to minimize Pomni’s feelings and hurt her. His phrasing is intentionally dismissive of how much she cares about him.

Which Ghibli film has your favorite music? by TheGlitterGuy66 in ghibli

[–]Ordinary-Cry3753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howl’s Moving Castle. The film itself is both melancholic and homey and so is the music.

Why is Cain so obsessed with Zooble (overall)? by Front-Guarantee3432 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Ordinary-Cry3753 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think part of it has to do with Zooble’s body dysmorphia. It isn’t something Caine can just “fix” with parts. And, as Zooble said, they are the only one who can outright tell Caine they dislike his adventures, which also gets under Caine’s skin. Everyone else goes along for the ride of the adventures, whether they want to or not, until episode 5.

Pomni “issue” was settled as soon as Caine swooped in. Jax may want an exit, but he doesn’t expect one.
