Of course Fluffy is just a nickname but it's still the cub's canon NAME because it's not supposed to have a real name in its own film. It was never ever officially Kopa in the film universe.
None of that fanfiction babble is needed. There is no ground needed to be covered in the film.
Zira's exile is fully explained in the film itself. Pay attention, please. She was obsessively in love with Scar and thus there is no doubt she would be a threat, resulting in more than enough reason for Simba to exile her after what Scar had done. The rest were simply Scar's heir and thus not trustworthy in Simba's eyes. Why the hell would Simba wait around for anothe rmurder (besides Mufasa's) to happen before he'd do what he thinks is right. Remember how he had never been guided into adulthood and parenthood and during his exile years he'd forsaken any lessons his father had time to teach him while Timon and Pumba corrupted him with their motto. Later in this post I go into the whole murderous matter and what if Simba did give them a second chance. NO KOPA.
And Simba's over-protectiveness is also fully explainavble by the psychology of his growing-up story and character development with the first film alone. Use your intelligence instead of your daydreams. SP is a SEQUEL to TLK and thus everything deeper in TLK applies to SP and not just the cub's design in the last few seconds!!! Hence, how he had never been guided into adulthood, much less into parenthood, had not emotionally grown up during those years in exile, but yet was all the sudden yanked away from all of it and huge responsibilities were thrust upon him as an adult and father. Then there was Scar who'd taught him that wolf may lurk in every guise. And all his childhood dangers which by the way were literally pointed out in the SP film. The cub's design is utterly insignificant.
[quote]Notice how Zazu says the word murderous and that Simba avoids the rest of the conversation. ... I find it most believable if Kopa was murdered.[/quote]
Oh, gees. There's an entire, lengthy post in the Kopa topic of the Characters section here, making clear all the reasons why it is downright impossible that Zira would've killed any cub of Simba and Nala's. Two of the best points being that if Nala had a child that was murdered, she would NOT be that calm and careless and secure about having her other little child running around the Pride Lands. And if they had a cub who was murdered, they would NOT leave Kiara's protection in the hands of a warthog and meerkat!!!! Goddamnit! Sorry, sorry, I'll take a breath now...
And Zazu indeed said murderOUS, not murderERS. All it takes to be labeled as murderOUS is a failed attempt to kill/murder somebody. Which in this case most likely would've been Simba himself in revenge of him killing Scar and in order to regain Kovu's place as the next king as Zira said Kovu had been born and hand-chosen by Scar just before Simba returned.
There was reason enough to avoid the rest of the discussion in the fact that Kiara was too young to understand the concept of death and betrayal. The whole story of Scar, Mufasa, Simba and she certainly didn't need to find out that someone had tried to murder her Daddy dearest.
