/Minor unrelated thing underappreciated about the Lion Guard: did pretty good regarding female characters

#ooc. #//I think they understood that a lot of the early criticism was the gender ratio in the core cast #//(I still think Beshte should've been a girl and an elephant tho) #//but you can really see them make an effort to add a lot more major female characters to the main/recurring cast #//there's Jasiri. Reirei. Ma Tembo. Zuri and Tiifu. Shupavu #//more depth to Kiara #//even one-shots like Dhahabu. Kinyonga. Swala. Mpishi...all pretty great and really different from each other #//..I guess Rani and Vitani's Lion Guard if you want.. #//Makini and Anga especially are my favourites. I think they're both really well written #//it would be so easy for Makini to come across as over-the-top and annoying but she never does #//she always has the right balance of comedy and sincerity and is legitimately a top-3 Lion Guard character #//on the flipside it would be easy for Anga to come across as cold and 'bitchy' #//but even though she's introverted and quiet that doesn't mean she can't care about her friends or show emotion and be excited for things #//she's like a more extreme early season-1 Fuli. Now that I think about it I wanna hear her sing 'My Own Way' #//I just wish she had been introduced early season 2 #//so she could be recurring like Makini. As a result she doesn't get as much development and kind of wanes in importance #//the longer season 3 goes on (though tbh the same applies to the other guard members. #//Especially Ono. We don't even see his face in the final scene #//but anyway I really wish Makini and Anga had been Rafiki and Zazu's replacements for Kiara eventually. I used to want Ono to do that #//but he is just a mini Zazu. Anga is way more different #//a lot of people are quick to point out the show's flaws but I think it's important to realise what it did really really well
