According to the source, Simba realises that he is gay during his teenage years after chancing upon same-sex couple Timon and Pumbaa in the wilderness

In order to accommodate the new plot, Simba’s childhood friend and eventual girlfriend Nala has been replaced with the male lion Naji.

The film was also set to be released on June the 31st.


First Disney tries to make Marvel change the characters in Marvel Comics (to the point that most of the marvel cast is unrecognizable) now they doing it in movies.

I'm not a fan of changing the source material.

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

Yeah, I think I've mentioned my thoughts on this sort of stuff multiple times on the forum. I don't understand changing existing characters; create new ones. Surely it would mean more to have a character from a minority group created from scratch and have their own successful franchise, whatever the form of media, rather than piggybacking on already successful names.

Edit: Oh, yeah, looks to be an April Fools. However, I take issue with the site's reaction of labelling anyone who is against the change 'homophobic'. I wouldn't say my above reason is homophobic, nor is this tweet they declared 'outright homophobic': 'Nothing against LGBT community, but you're literally changing the story if Simba is gay. Makes no sense'. I mean, is that not a valid reason to be against it? He's not wrong.

Timon and Pumbaa are clearly the ones to blame here.

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?!

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I honestly wouldn't put it past them to actually do it though.

The general idea is silly and I don't get why they keep doing similar things.

"A character I like is gay now...now I like gay people!"

Or they could just make new gay characters and actually normalize it instead of pissing fans of an established canon off...


Is it really that hard? They make dozens of new and unique animated movies all the time.

Just do a film about a sassy gay cat already.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

I'm pretty sure this was established as an April Fools joke.

Kind of pointless in being a King if you're not going to produce any heirs.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

Lol, this got me too. Damn QueenTD, I get them wanting to make things "diverse" but at this point I was like "too f***ing far".

And I haven't even seen Lion King!
WoW Legion Ending - Thank you Darker for making this into one, big incredible gif! <3
