    Well I was simply trying to have a discussion about kopa, but it looks like that got lost in goodbye posts

    Yes, let's get back to poor Kopa.

I do agree that it opens up a whole bunch of story possibilities for fan fiction, and that's where it gets fun.
    The question is, how official are some TLK storybooks. I think some are simply going to be more accurate and official than others, particularly ones that were released are merchandise for the first film. But I don't really know how all that book stuff works. I agree though, Kopa is definitely official, whether the cub at the end of TLK was intended to be him or not, is irrelevant. I still very much like the idea that Simba had a son. Although I understand the very thing that I believe to be the reason for choosing a female cub. Using a male cub, would have made the movie too much of a replica of the first. Plus in reality, a lioness wouldn't really beat a full grown male in a fight...

    Also, I've just noticed there's a spider on my ceiling...

    The 6NA books were released with the first batch of storybooks from the film's original release. It's funny how this gets so muddied. Since those books came out along with the first film, it can be said that the cub in the film is meant to be Kopa. Whether the film makers had anything to do with that or not confounds the matter.

    That's the thing, is that are the people who wrote those books, were they part of the actual creative team from the movie? If yes, that really makes them official, but even if not, that doesn't mean they're not official stories and characters etc. Too many variables

    I wouldn't be surprised if the movie creative team had no involvement in the writing of the books (which I thought was outsourced to non-Disney writers, no?).
    It wouldn't be the first time that Disney's demonstrated that their left hand has absolutely no idea what the right hand is doing - there've been several disconnects between the movie creative team and merchandising.

    At any rate, be he "official" or not, I still prefer Kopa over Kiara.

    I read here that Alex Simmons, the author of "A Tale of Two Brothers" wrote on his personal web site that the book is his original story based off TLK, and that he is not a part of Disney. I also read that the TLK6NA books were "denied" by the film makers, so that must mean that they weren't made by the movie producers.

    Quite interestingly, I also read that Leslie McGuire, the author of "A Snake In The Grass" and "How True, Zazu?" is a consultant for Disney, which confuses me slightly.

    But well, who knows how much we can trust any Wiki page.

    The books were produced with the permission of Disney (obviously, otherwise that would be infringement) so I guess that makes Kopa official to some extent, but I don't think it really matters if Kopa is official or not really. I still like the idea of Simba having a son either way, and find the whole idea very interesting.

    This is the same kind of thing that comes up in the Doctor Who canon timeline. There are tons of novels out which are licensed by the BBC for the show, but are not written by the writers or anyone who actually works on the show.

    Exactly. I was just thinking. Would Kopa being killed or kidnapped explain why Simba is so protective of Kiara in SP? I'd imagine if Kopa did exist in TLK canon as another cub, loosing one like that would certainly change Simba's behavior.

    Now y'all have me thinking about this. I was so happy just letting things be the way they were

    Firstly, I just noticed the night sky buttons are done, awesome!

    Secondly, I think that's generally the most accepted theory, Kopa-wise and in regards to Simba's behaviour in the second movie. That Kopa was perhaps killed by Zira and company which is perhaps why they were exiled, or he simply died out on an adventure, so Simba is determined not to lose Kiara the same way and so became the over-protective father that you see in SP. A bit of a sad story though.
