Description Stuck with the actual movie colors this time to try and make it look like it fit more with 'the Lion King' universe

Okay... Simba has a daughter in 'the Lion King 2.' The cubs gender was originally going to be a male, but in the early planning stages of the story line, they changed the cubs gender to female. This is kinda what I pictured Simba's son to look like if he had been in the movie instead of Kiara.

I think it's pretty widely accepted in 'the Lion King' fandom that Simba's son's name was Kopa, so that's what I'm going with. Also, the design I used is kind of the generally accepted look for him, but I tweaked it a little bit. I picked a color that was in between Simba and Nala's colors (but closer to Simba's) and I gave him blue eyes, like his Mom I wish in the first movie that Simba didn't look so much like Mufasa. In my opinion, he doesn't look ANYTHING like Sarabi. So I tried to put a little bit of Nala into Kopa Kids should look a little like BOTH their parents right? XD

Also, 'the Lion King 2' has so many plotholes... Like why Zira and the other Outsiders were exiled in the first place? My theory (and a lot of other people think so too,) is that Simba had a son before Kiara, but Zira, out of greif and anger for Scar, killed him, and that's why she was exiled... If Kopa existed/was still alive, he'd probably be Nuka's age, and then Kiara the same age as Kovu and Vitani (who I'm assuming are twins right? They look the same age in the beginning of the movie...) EDIT: I forgot to mention this before, but this theory also offers a possible explaination about why Simba was so completely paranoid about Kiara during the whole movie.

So this is some father/son bonding time shortly before Kopa was killed (assuming that's what happened,) and so before the Outsiders were exiled.

Lol, I'm such a nerd XD

I'm not really open for requests at the moment, but if you want to let me know what you'd like, that's fine I'll see if I have time to get around to it.

Well if you could, could you draw Kivol posing rather devilishly with shades(sunglasses) on?

Brilliant picture! I think that as the 1st film finishes and 'The Lion King' pops up on the screen at the end, Rafiki drops Kopa! But I dont think that happened lol!
Your theory i have heard somthing similar before, it does all make sense! I dont doubt that there wont be a lion king 4

If they made a 'Lion King 4,' that would be awesome XD but only if it's good...

Yeah, i think if they did, it would be good, you'd find out more about stuff, and see all the fans reactions to their own theories being wrong! haha!

Your design for Kopa is cute. But they do have actual pictures of him(: He looks identical to Simba with the exception of the brown hair tuft.

Great job though!<3

Nala162024 [2010-09-13 19:09:50 +0000 UTC]

I don't really believe in the whole Kopa thing. I just think in the first want they wanted you to know Simba and Nala had a baby and in 1 1/2 they just didn't bother to change the color of the cub at the end. But that's just my opinion.

But this is really cute though! Can you please do one for me of Simba and Kiara?

It would only make since that Zira did away with Kopa.

Scar scolded Sarabi for not hunting and obviously his followers, Zira included, weren't about to say no.

It took a lot of pride of Sarabi to say no to the king, so I'd imagine that Simba losing his son probably did it to him.

Out goes the potential threat, in comes the paranoid peace.

My short theory is that Kiara was going to be a potential mate for Kopa and that after he died Simba was encouraged by Nala and the other lionesses to try letting a 'princess' possibly rule.

Because it's the king who rules, remember? A grieving father and mother probably took the first opp. given to them.

Morgan-Michele In reply to PenofGold [2010-09-10 21:24:37 +0000 UTC]

I like the idea of your theory, but Kopa and Kiara are also brother and sister, so them being potential mates is kind of... Yeah XD But there IS a lot of evidence in the first movie that Simba and Nala are either half-siblings or cousins (seeing as the only adult males in the movie are Mufasa and Scar.) So who knows It's possible The second movie was really bad at explaining how anything happened, so we can only assume...

GoranXII [2010-09-10 07:26:11 +0000 UTC]

Well it'd be a nice idea, but there's no way in hell it'd work, not if Kovu was (as Zira claimed) 'hand-picked' by Scar, he'd be just too old (he'd be ~8 months older, or about 6 years in our terms).

My own explanation is that while Nala was pregnant with Kiara (Kopa doesn't exist), Zira tried to muck up a hunt, and get the wildebeest/zebra/whatever to trample her to death, but Sarabi saw what was happening, and saved her at the cost of her own life. On hearing what happened, Simba (correctly) blames Zira, but without evidence (Zira managed to cover her tracks), not everyone believes him, and thus the Outlanders (or some of them) are those who disagreed with Simba, and thought that exile was way too harsh a punishment for a 'mistake'.

Of course, all this is a theory, and I'll agree that Disney is god-awful at making sequels

Morgan-Michele In reply to GoranXII [2010-09-10 21:20:18 +0000 UTC]

That's a really good theory too I didn't even think of that. It would explain why Sarabi isn't in the movie...

Yeah, I don't like most of Disney's sequels X(

WHOA, EPIC! I had no idea about that and the storyline! Hmm...knowing this, I'd have to say thats my theory too. THat'd explain why Simba's so overprotective of Kiara.

Morgan-Michele In reply to KheWolf [2010-09-10 01:56:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks

and YES, I forgot to mention that XD I knew I left SOMETHING out... Yeah, when I was little I always wondered why he was so laid-back for most of the first movie, but completely paranoid about Kiara in the second one. This theory makes sense of that and I wish they would've put it in the movie (but that probably wouldn't be good for young kids to see... lol)

Yeah, if they did it would make a lot more sense and be pretty darn epic. (oh yeah, there is that. XD BUT WE ENJOY IT MORE!)
