The sad thing is that I think that Zira might have been groomed by Scar, as the fact that in a deleted scene Scar wanted Nala even though she was as young as Simba (basically he wanted to mate with her) and Zira being fanatically obsessed might have been manipulated by Scar and used by him for many things

This makes sense. Also Zira was the mother of his cubs (Nuka and Vitani) and Scar groomed her, as he attempted to do with Nala as he wanted an heir. I think when Scar chose Kovu as an heir - during the events of the Lion King, Zira was given the task of protecting Kovu alongside her own cubs. Also Kovu was the last born before Simba exiled Zera and the Outlanders and as Kovu and Kira were the same age, I think he was born and exiled just before or around the time Kiara was born.

The reason I believe Zira was never seen in the the original Lion King film, was because she was apart of another pride before leaving with several lioness before coming across the Pridelands, where Scar accepted her and both began to bond. This bond eventually resulted in the birth of Nuka, which Scar deemed unworthy of an heir, which Scar ordered Zira to find another lion to mate with for a better heir, but to wait until Nuka was of age. After Nuka became of age, a male lion came into the pridelands and mated with Zira resulting in the birth of Vitani, but Scar viewed Vitani as a leader of the Lion Guard and began to tell Zira the stories of how he was the leader of the Lion Guard before losing the roar. After Vitani had come of age, Zira went into another pride, stole the cub that would become Kovu, and Scar had been pleased by her actions, and granted Kovu his heir. When the Pridelands began to fall, Scar told Zira and her followers to follow the animals hurts to feed Nuka, Vitani, and Kovu to keep them from dying, but after Simba became the rightful heir, Zira believed Simba had killed Scar, and making it her life long mission to kill Simba and accomplish Scar’s wish of Kovu being the heir to the throne.

When I was a child watching the 2nd movie I assumed Zira was a lone lioness without a pride.

@pizzaplanettruck97617 күн бұрын
Personally, I think Zira and her henchlions did not actually originate from the Pride Lands, and only arrived during Scar's reign. This would only explain their loyalty to Scar, but also the Outsider nickname and their looks. Despite what Kiara said, the Outsiders do have differences, such as an angular snout like Scar, long toes vs round ones, darker eye shades, and in some cases, an M-shaped nose, meaning they would be somewhat easy to spot. Not being from the Pride Lands would also be something I think is overlooked, and that's Timon, Pumbaa, and the Pridelanders sharing Simba's distaste and lack of care for the Outsiders. Sure Simba was their king, and the one who made the decision to banish the Outsiders, but he only succeeded because the other lions had no qualms with enforcing it. As, the final battle showed, the Pridelanders had no qualms about obeying Simba's orders, almost as if he stated the Outlanders weren't lion and not to be treated as such. Also, it is possible the Outsiders did fight for Scar. In 1&1/2, the hyenas attempted to follow Simba when he chased after Scar, so who was fighting the lionesses then?

Honestly can we all just stop pretending that Simba’s Pride is a great sequel? I mean it’s not a terrible film but as a follow up to the original movie it just really doesn’t sink well with all of its plot holes and inconsistencies and poor writing. I mean seriously people criticize the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy for “not having a well thought out story under different writers and directors” yet hardly anybody seems to do the same for not just Simba’s Pride and a lot of the Disney animated sequels but pretty much every other franchise in and out of Disney. And also as much as I love The original Lion King film I really do think that as a franchise…it’s a freaking mess.

I like it but I can’t see it.. For starters, if she’s the same age as Simba and grew up within the pride, then it goes back to the same argument with Nala….who’s her father. She also seems older than Simba for me by a few years but not at the same age as Mufasa and Scar and so probably in between. Most likely, when Simba and Nala were kids at the age we see them majority of the time, Zira was probably at the age adult Kiara was in LK2 when she went off to hunt on her own. So Zira was most likely hunting or just doing background stuff during the LK1. But that’s if she was even apart of the pride from the get go…. There’s a good chance that she joined during the end (ish) of Scars reign. She could have been a good friend of his and maybe joined Scar after her “husband” died? Nuka could have been between the age of young and adult Kiara when he arrived or potentially a bit older (for me, I think Nuka is closer in age to Simba than Zira is to Simba). She would have already been pregnant and maybe as Scar knew her and he former mate, he decided to take her in and allowed her to give birth (goes back to your point, if the male lion of the pride isn’t the father, he’ll simply kill the cubs. So clearly Scar knew her and respected her mate enough to allow the cubs around). This also explains why Scar chose Kovu over Nuka. Nuka was young but maybe not young enough to mould into a future king, Kovu however was. Scar and Zira as well may have not been at the “love” stage until after Kovus birth and so would make more sense to name the cub you’ll hopefully help and watch grow yourself than pretty much a teen who you have no real connection with. Sticking to the point about picking an heir, I wonder if Scar just chose Kovu at complete random and from that Zira (maybe idolising Scar) took that as a sign he loves her?? Just seems to me that Scar was getting on a bit and knew he needed an heir but didn’t have a mate to have cubs with for whatever reason, so picked Kovu probably knowing he’d die before Kovu would become old enough to be king and may not have felt threatened by Nuka and so never worried about him dethroning scar? (I never watched the Lion Guard so my points may have been disproved by the show lol).
