listen. it's a better movie this way. it makes so much more sense. well. like. slightly more sense. zira can be shenzi even. maybe scar promised her the hyenas could fully take over after he died? like, maybe it was a lie, and he fully intended to produce a lion heir, but he didn't get around to it before he died. i know the hyenas ended up killing scar, but work with me here this makes more sense than zira the lioness and her whole group existing. the hyenas get banished by simba and start regretting they killed scar. it's fine. nuka can just be banzai. and ed can be there. nothing else changes. baby kiara goes into the outlands and has a little adventure with baby hyena kovu. it's fine. it's good. it's a better movie. it makes the ending good. so there you go
