Talk:Simba

message: Well, if Kopa is in there [based on the books], but isn't Simba also Mohatu's great grandson?  Simba would also be Ahadi's and Uru (The Lion King)'s grandson.

message: "Simba also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character."  Really?  I have never found anything that  confirms this.  The only time I have seen him is as a robot up on a float. (Mchelada (talk) 02:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I think Simba should be a disambiguation page, and this article should be moved to Simba (The Lion King) or similar. Failing that, there should be at least a mention of other uses of the word in this article - I got to this page looking for the rebels who captured Stanleyville in 1964 during the Congo Crisis.

message: I have notice that many TLK fans have read these books and they think that cub at the end of first film is Kopa. The problem is that Kopa only exists in the books not in the movies. When SP was released, many fans were not happy that Kopa was not in this film and they created these theories like "Kopa was killed by Zira or by an Outlander lioness" and "Kopa running away". These books weren't made by Disney. -- Nectaria 14:48, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Fans will never agree on this. Some insist that the books aren't canon while some would argue that even though the books weren't made by Disney it got their permission which means the story is kind of canon, to some extent. The theories about Kopa killed by Zira stemmed from the fact that the movie didn't explain why Simba exiled her and how she pushed Kovu toward Simba in the beginning of the movie and told him that if he wanted revenge he could do it to Kovu. The movie never explained why Simba would want a revenge, and thus the "Kopa killed by Zira" theory was born. While it is plausible, I personally don't think Kopa was canon at all. I don't think he should be included, but if he must then maybe we can put something like Kopa (son) (only in TLKSNA)Krystaleen 16:35, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

text: First, a reminder that Wikipedia talk pages are not a forum, so it's only appropriate to discuss this here insofar as it relates to what belongs in any of the related articles here on Wikipedia.  Having said that, the prevailing view among TLK fans (though as you note there are dissenters) seems to be to only treat TLKSNA as canon insofar as it does not conflict with more definitively canon sources.  For instance, we can accept that Scar's real name is Taka, and his and Mufasa's father's name is Ahadi (if memory serves, both of these originated from TLKSNA), but the cub's identity (Kopa) is disregarded in favor of SP (Kiara).  mwalimu59 (talk) 21:51, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

text: so what do you think about my suggestion? If you agree then everybody from SP should have (Simba's Pride) too to make it clear it's not from the first movie. Actually now that I think about it, we should put it there even if we're not going to include characters from TLKSNA because I'm pretty sure there are people out there who have never seen SP or even know it existed because it was never shown in theaters so they maybe have no idea Kiara even existed.--Krystaleen 11:45, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

text: Which is why we're discussing this. If the conclusion is to include it then users can't remove it because we would point out that it's been discussed and decided.--Krystaleen 13:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

text: So you mean you agree with me?--Krystaleen 13:57, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
