//Oh good instead of making fun of that ‘fan-written’ Season 4 Lion Guard fanseries I can talk about how funny it is that somebody ‘leaked’ the scripts up on the subreddit and is refusing to take them down unless the directors pay them $100 dollars

#ooc. #//yall its a preschool show about baby animal superheroes chill out #//but yeah I try and let people have their fun. Its not hurting anyone else. Cringe culture is dead etc etc #//...but #//it's called 'The Drama King' and no one seems to listen when I try and explain that's an extremely silly and unserious title #//like it literally sounds like its about a gay rewrite of Mean Girls....(note to self. gay rewrite of Mean Girls) #//and the 'script' that got 'leaked' is allegedly not finished but what's there is...bad #//as far as I can tell Beshte is in it but has no lines (which I could have predicted tbf) #//there's a sequence where Makini instructs Rani to pee on a flower as a pregnancy test #//the whole drama in the third act revolves around Kion and Fuli getting caught in a 'tornado' and doing that trope where it looks like -> #//->they're kissing and Rani sees it and instead of being reasonable throws a tantrum about it because women are emotional I guess #//and yes that is the only narrative function of the 'tornado' #//the Pridelands and the tree of life are like a minute's distance away #//there's a big bad evil lion villain with no personality #//who can also roar and he and Vitani have a roar-off and he kills her #//I didn't like her either but Yikes #//then Rafiki tells Kion this and his ONLY reaction is 'Woah guess I'm leader of the Lion Guard again' #//and Kopa shows up. but doesn't really have much of an impact other than 'woah we're long lost twin brothers' #//like its not explained or dwelt upon and it doesn't cause tension between them or their family #//and to be fair I've seen this plotpoint done well in other fanfics #//and then Kion painstakingly makes every member of the Night Pride and Kopa new members of the Lion Guard #//so there's like 12 of them #//I really wish we could all just let Kopa die in both sense #//like its a complete fanfiction that doesn't make it more 'resonating' or 'realistic' just because its dark #//...anyway I think I just needed to get that off my chest #//because obviously I'm not going to comment this somewhere they can see it. What am I? An asshole?
