/Continually baffled by how so many people say stuff like ‘Season 3 is the best one! It’s so mature!’ or ‘Season 3 is when the Lion Guard stops being a show for toddlers and actually gets good!’ 

When 90% of the dialogue is like “I’m not evil!” “Oh no! Kion is turning evil!” “Don’t worry Kion, even if you do turn evil I’ll still be your friend”

#ooc. #//it's just so funny to me how many times they actually say the word 'evil' #//as if 'evil' is just a switch you can flip once you hit a point where you stop being good #//and not a series of bad actions done for the wrong or selfish reasons #//its literally like a child's understanding of morality #//honestly Season 3 is the MOST toddler-orientated one IMO #//cause its very straight-forward in its storytelling. like it tells you more than it shows #//'Lets help this animal! Oh no the bad animal didn't like that! Don't be evil Kion!' #//even season 1. mixed bag that it is. has at least some stories on the more mature-r side #//'your heroes might not be what you expect them to be' 'violence isn't always the answer' 'don't make assumptions' 'own up to your mistakes #//etc. The one where the old lady lioness dies is really good though that one gets a pass #//like I can extend my disbelief enough that the venom is making him irritable and lashing out more #//(I know some people can't but it's like the roar and the shoulder marks for me where I can overlook it) #//but the whole 'slipping to the dark side thing' wasn't...well done #//and also everything that Fuli does in that season shouldve and couldve been given to Bunga #//like taking charge when Kion's out of comission and being the concerned for him and challenging him when he gets out of line #//that should've been Bunga's job. but Fuli is a fan favourite so she got to do it all #//and people didn't like Bunga so he gets to be a caricature of his former self instead of getting to grow and develop #//...I'm STILL thinking about this shit #//but I think the fan response honestly makes me madder than how season 3 actually ended up
