The Lion Guard is a great Disney show that although short is fantastically drawn and animated. Every good story has to end sooner or later and this one ends on a good, though emotional note, in fact for some it can hit them hard. The great leader Kion trying to decide whether to maintain his reputation as a defender or choose to go back to his love Rani whom he just got to confess his feelings for in the previous episode. What will he choose? That's for you to find out though either way, it will have you begging for a 4th season. As of now there's no news, but don't give up hope, even the creator Ford Riley wants this story to continue

fantaje-1633618 September 2022The previous episode wasn't that bad if we ignore how forced it was to make Kion and Rani fall in love out of nowhere with a song, But this episode is so insufferable that it gives me physical discomfort every time I rewatch it, that's how bad it is.
If I have to rescue something positive, is that the scene where Kion and his friends reunite with their families was very nice, moreover, I dare say that maybe the end would not have been so bad if everything had ended after Mufasa disappears from the night sky, I even thought that everything would end there, until I saw that there were still more than 10 minutes left for the episode to end, then I knew that everything was going to go wrong, and it did.
There are plot holes everywhere, I know there was never any strong logic in the show, but the episode reaches ridiculous levels. Let's leave aside that a lioness has strength on par with a hippopotamus or that Kion still has the roar despite giving it up. What makes me despair, is that it makes no sense that Vitani wants to "claim" the position of leader of The Lion Guard and that neither Simba nor Rafiki prevent her from doing so. I can understand it being a temporary guard while Kion and his friends were away, but it doesn't make sense that after they returned she insisted that the guard was hers.
The competition between guards was won by Kion's guard even if Anga lost her challenge, but they conveniently made Besthe lose so that Kion and Vitani could have their own challenge, which at least could have been an interesting battle, but since they didn't even have the budget for it, they resolved it in the most vague way possible. All for what? So that in the end everything would be a long excuse to justify Kion dragging his friends away from their families so he could be with Rani.
Kion becoming king doesn't feel like the climax of his character development, it's just a superficial addition that also destroys the idea that he didn't need to be his sister's equal to be someone in her life. I find it unbelievable that of the multiple endings they could have given the series, they chose the worst way to end it.
