Nuka and Vitani or the hyenas?

[unregistered user]

I decided to make a poll as well, just seemed right :p So, Nuka or the hyenas? YOu can guss who I voted for hehe

[King Simba]

Nuka for sure. :nukawha:

[Ngatuny]

Nuka!:nukasm: he isn't evil.

[Prince Simba]

^

:nukasm:

NUKA!

[Opera Ghost]

hyenas:ayecapn:

[Kiara Serengeti]

Weird poll, because Nuka\Vitani and the hyenas aren't really that similar so you can't compare.

[unregistered user]

Yeah they are. Nuka and Vitani took the places of the hyenas. Shenzi = Vitani, Banzai & Ed = Nuka.

[Lucy Lioness]

Nuka/Vitani! :nukasm: :vitsm:

[Shatara]

As Ravoc pointed out, Nuka/Tani and teh Hyenas played a similar role: one of evil henchmen and comic relief.

I voted for Nuka/Tani for a few reasons:

1. Clearly, I'm biased :vitsm:

2. Nuka/Tani were funny, without trying to be. They had a neat chemestry as polar opposites: You had the scrawny, cowardly, weak, dim-witted, mangy male, placed against the sleek, brave, strong, quick-witted, sexy female. It's classic!

3. The Hyenas...meh. They were funny, and unique, but not quite it.

[TakaTiger]

Nuka and Tani ^^

[Endra]

Nuka and Vitani definately! They are both just so lovable!

[unregistered user]

This seems a bit one sided =P

[Dare]

Hyenas.

I must correct you, my friend.
Shenzi < Vitani, Banzai & Ed < Nuka. ;)

What he said.

[unregistered user]

hehehe ;) Points well taken

[Ralli]

The Hyenas by far. :ayecapn:


I don't know, I just found them more amusing and...dare I say it? I mean, watch Mufasa fight off Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed- look at the background at Shenzi when he swipes at Ed: Shenzi's like "RAWR!!! D<" The first time I noticed her like that it scared the crud outta me.
The three of them can look downright SCARY sometimes. Let alone the others in the clan.


Plus, I found them more interesting...I don't know why...


All in all, I say:

Shenzi > Vitani, Banzai and Ed > Nuka.


:metoo:


Hey, this is making me want to draw Hyena fanart and make my fursona back to being a Hyena...:knowdees:

[va-kasi]

Nuka and Vitani.

In a movie series called the lion king, lion enemies are better without even judging the charcters for me.

I don't know...if the cast was completely or mostly lions, with like two non-leonine characters, I'd find the movie less interesting...I suppose I like variety. :confused:


But I knew as soon as I saw this that someone would say "Well since it's The LION King..." :rolleyes:


Not that it really bothers me. *shrugs*

[va-kasi]

Hehe, I dunno, I don't seem to like variety for some reason :confused:

Lions are definatley my favourite.

Agreed... I voted for Nuka and Vitani not because they're lions, but because I like them better? =P

TLK1's 'lion vs hyena' had somewhat racist undertones if you think about it...

TLK2 seemed to parallel 'real' conflict more, and even emphisizes the whole concept that both sides really arent all that different...

It also borrowed concepts from the American Civil War (brother against brother(or sister in this case ;))), and the War of the Roses (two families feuding for the throne)...

[Xinithian]

I'll have to say the hyenas for 2 reasons. First of all, they were in the first Lion King, which was a much better movie IMO. Second of all, I liked the characters of the hyenas better because they were sillier, and less serious.

[Kovu]

Nuka and 'Tani. They're my bro and sis. :lol: :kovusmile

[unregistered user]

That's right, you better vote for us! Otherwise 'Tani and I will come over there and throw some rocks xD

[nafklt]

xD :lol:

:P I voted 'Tani and Nuka

[unregistered user]

Nuka! Because, he's got the rocks and sticks. :p :lol: ;)

EDIT: Nuka & Vitani. Erm... I mean. I don't want a rock upside my head. 6_9 XD

[unregistered user]

err.. hyenas... *run away from computer for 5 month, Attempt to open up lea and saw ravoc throwing stone and spears and run off again*..
:lol:
I need protection.. i need protection... i need.. protec...*worried*

[Mizani]

Nuka and Tani!:nukasm::vitsm:

[Nalinda]

Hyenas!!

[Shatara]

*sigh*...no offense people, but can we lay off the one word responses?

This is a discussion forum. DISCUSS!!

[Nalinda]

Hahah.. Okay. I voted for the hyenas cuz they are more fun then Nuka and Vitani..
Nothing bad about those two. But ehhmm..
I'll go with the hyenas =)

[Mizani]

I have something against Hyenas. I saw a documentary about them once and I had a great dislike for them. But if you like them thats your choice and I don't mind.:uhno:

[Tabbiefox]

Hyenas are terrific, but I threw my vote for Nuka&Tani n'way.. there in a way more special to me, .. no offence yena fans ;p
..hmm.. But seriously, who would resist not voting for this!! (clickez moi) (http://www.lionking.org/~kovumex/imagenes/fanart/hibbary/nuka.gif) :cheese:

[Mizani]

Yea, Nuka's very sexy:lol: Even his termites.
I'm afriad I don't know you Tabbiefox, but thanks for da link.

[Lucy Lioness]

Okay - I voted for Nuka and Vitani, but I will give a reason. :p

Hibbary. from TLKFAA

[The Sun King]

Lions are more powerful :cheese:

Actually, a hyena is a good match for a lion. >>;


Plius, Mizani, I've seen documentaries about lions and I think they can be worse than hyenas, stealing other animals' kills and bullying other animals like cheetahs and leopards... :rolleyes:


*hides*

[Mizani]

I know that but I saw it when I was young and the image sorta stuck. I'm not saying their completely bad, but when I first hear the name "hyena" I think of it as bad.:uhno:

[Nalinda]

That's okay.. Everybody has the right to their opinion!
Talking about documentaries, I saw a lion program for a long time ago. Lions can be rough. It wasn't a pleasure seeing a lion male eat his own cubs if can say my opinion :uhno:
And when I see hyena documentarie I just think of them as animals who eats dead meat or something.
And when it comes to the movie I just find the hyenas funny.. and a little bit stupid. That's what makes them so funny to watch :p
I just like Vitani in the movie when she tells Zira that Kiara's right. The rest of that movie I just see Vitani so rough.. Just my opinion!! :unho:

[Ralli]

Yea, I know the Hyenas aren't the brightest animals in the movies. :p At all. Though I think Shenzi's pretty intelligent...

[Nalinda]

Yeah. Go Shenzi :D Haha.. She's cool!
Banzai is'nt that stupid either.. haha. Okay Ed. He's stupid.. but that's what makes him funny ;)

[Tabbiefox]

Actually Ed might be extremely clever, and his stupidness is just part of a plan :ayecapn:
gahh i should have voted for hyenas :confused: *snaps* ;p

[Nalinda]

Haha ;) He's maybe trickin' us? :o

Plius, Mizani, I've seen documentaries about lions and I think they can be worse than hyenas, stealing other animals' kills and bullying other animals like cheetahs and leopards... In real life, neither is more 'evil' than the other. Both steal kills about equally. It may seem 'mean', but it's survival.


Originally posted by Tabbiefox

In Lion King III, Ed returns and pwns everyone...except Vitani, cuz she's just that l33t.

[starlioness]

you also got to remember that the Hyenas did kill Scar. granted Scar isn't as strong as Mufaasa or Simba. but those Hyenas have pretty strong jaws that can crush bones pretty easily.


I also like variety, it's the spice of life ;)

[Valkiria]

Nuka & Vitani! :D

[Katse]

You know what?...............HYENAS PWN!!!11!!!!!eleven!!!!111!!!!11

I like them because 1)more variety of animals to the movie, 2)they're funnier, 3)They were in the original, aaaaannd 4)Ed owns you!:ayecapn:

[Nalinda]

Go Katse! :D

Hear, hear! :evilgrin:

[Storm90]

Eh, I voted Nuka and Vitani

Cause Vitani is awesome and is full of spunk

:vitsm:

And Nuka is one of my favorite lions in TLK2. ^_^


:nukasm:

[cleargreenwater]

Heh, should probably introduce myself before posting but....

HYENAS!
Vitani & Nuka are just sickly stand-ins for the kickass-ness that is the Hyena Trio, & don't hold a candle to them.
I gotta admit, *gets ready to avoid Lea for a few days* I couldn't stand them the first time I saw SP, cuz they were such Hyena rip-offs. (I don't mind Vitani & Nuka now cuz the fandom made real, seperate characters out of them.)

[Nalinda]

Welcome to Lea CGW =)

[Avalon]

I voted the Hyenas:cheese:
1. Cuz they are one of the coolest animal on the african savanna:D
2. Cuz like Katse said they created variety in the movie:ayecapn:
and
3. Cuz their females rule the gang :cheese: Wooot Girl Power!!:evilgrin:
EDIT: Even though i think the hyenas in TLK don't really look like hyenas, compared to the real animal

...I think I love you. I really do. :love: I see you suffer from the case of 'opinionated big mouth who can't keep their mouth shut'? :metoo: Ditto here.


:Psst: And yes, I suggest you may leave for a day or two...I've been reassured that no one gets flamed here, but I wouldn't take my chance when insulting two very popular characters.


Oh yea, welcome to LH. :D

[Shatara]

I'm tryin to figure out how yous figure Nuka/Tani as wannabe hyena clones, when they use a completely different kind of humor...

[Katse]

*Gets sheild* I just don't find Vitani or Nuka very appealing as characters, that's all. Everyone has their own opinions.

EDIT: I hate typos. Forget one word and the whole opinion changes...-_-

[Ralli]

Well, I think Vitani and Shenzi have a lot in common...they're spunky, take-control (kind of, she follows her mother up until the end of the movie...), girl-power kind, dominant...and Nuka seems to be a hybrid of Banzai and Ed. Ed 'cause he's silly and scruffy/messy, Banzai 'cause he's sarcastic and a follower I guess...BUT he does his best to get his mother's attention and Banzai nor Ed seem to try to suck up to anyone.


*cough* Go ahead and disagree, I'm not going to bother argueing back because I don't really care for SP, and I haven't watched it in years, so I'm very well aware that I probably got their personalities wrong...but, that aside, I still think without a doubt in my mind that they, and the rest of the Outlanders, took the hyenas' place as the henchmen and side comic-reliefs. :ayecapn:

Haha, no need for you to get a shield...it's clear from the poll results that, if anyone is going to be flamed, bashed, or insulted, it's going to be the hyena supporters. :evilgrin: Though I hope it won't come to that...

[Sombolia]

Now that I think about, I probably shoulda voted hyenas... seeing as the original TLK is the only one of the trilogy that the fandom hasn't managed to ruin for me. :rolleyes:
