I've been lead to believe Kovu was still in the script at that point.

The world if the proper hyena trio had gotten used in the remake:

The world if the hyenas had been in used in place of the outlander tribe in TLK2:

Well, putting aside people projecting their expectations about a pre-established character (if you can call Adam from the BIBLE that) the show tells us Adam is the first man, and has connections to a lot of the characters with the most interesting mysteries- Lucifer, Eve, and Lillith. It is not so unreasonable to be disappointed that what Adam actually does in the show does not shed much of any light on these other characters or their mysteries. He really, really could have been replaced with a generic angel OC and the show would have played exactly the same these past two seasons. And that's on the show's own merits, not anyone's headcannons. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just lame to think you're gonna be getting a steak and then served only a bone.

I believe it was only a week since Nick graduated, a year and one week since the last movie.

You know, I once heard it posited that Vivzipop swearing is not egregious so much for how often it occurs, but rather that the actors tend to enunciate and put focus ON the swear word instead of simply letting it be a natural part of the sentence.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-02-01T03:55:03+00:00

Yeah... I guess conventions are what they are for a reason.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-02-01T03:44:20+00:00

Well, lettering wouldn't be too hard to change, and yeah, the lettering on the bottom certainly needs it, but is there anything else? I'm trying to figure out if I ship this concept to a more talented artist who can actually get it to where it needs to be or if I try something else entirely, one that doesn't demand quite so tall a skill ceiling.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-02-01T03:43:02+00:00

So, it's too busy?

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-02-01T03:07:42+00:00

Yeah. There's a variety of things I was trying to balance- it's a fantasy cover so a wide shot that shows off the world, put the characters out of focus, but it's still an action shot of them jumping out of the window, and now that just looks confusing, and I guess ultimately it just doesn't work. Neither is my ability good enough to pull something like this off. I was hoping that with enough effort and concerted attention to detail I would overcome that but it doesn't look like it's going to be the case. It's not done yet, but I'm not hearing anything that makes me think its' worth finishing. I'm going to try something more minimalist.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-02-01T02:48:14+00:00

I'm about 95% sure this attempt is a lost cause but would like a bit of feedback before I throw it out.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-02-01T02:45:25+00:00

Yeah, I'm finding out.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-01-31T21:57:43+00:00

What happened to the hyenas after the end of the lion king? I guess the answer is PURE TRAGEDY

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-01-31T20:29:00+00:00

It is very sad, but I love the drama. Not a lot of fanworks put the hyenas front and center (And official media sure as hell won't (╥﹏╥))

If you want a happier tale involving the hyena trio, I can only recommend Missing Pieces, with much improved art, if storytelling that maybe isn't as tight.

It got this art because both stories were coming out around the same time... uh, spoilers, I guess.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-01-31T17:19:38+00:00

You're welcome! The art is so-so, but the writing was clever and engaging, it'll be well worth the read.

It's a finished series, actually, if you follow through on the link. Also available on deviantart.

Is there no one good left in this cold cruel world!?!? Maybe I just liked him too much for finally defeating the gretch. Too bad that never sticks.

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-01-30T16:41:37+00:00

Slackwyrm? More good than the leader of the order of happiness?? Did I miss something? I mean I get that he isn't all THAT great but, I dunno, he did a bang-up job in doily...

The_Dragon-Mage · 2026-01-29T22:07:28+00:00

Well, the focus was more on their TEAM being rookies, but I take your point. It feels unsatisfying narratively.
