[quote="KiovuLove"]The cub in the first movie, although I know he's known as fluffy at the time, doesn't look like kiara. She's close but there's a difference. "Fluffy" has a dark ring on the outside of his ear like his father did but kiara does not and she didn't for her reveal. [...] Even if it wasn't kopa per say, fluffy isn't kiara.[/quote]
Actually, the cub at the end of the first movie does look like Kiara, and if you read
this post you will be provided with links that account for the apparent difference in appearance and with Disney's official statement about the identity of the cub at the first film, which confirm that it is Kiara.
[quote="KiovuLove"]Part of being a fan is imagining what happens between things and after the story. I'm not saying he's real. I'm not saying that at all. I like to think that, AS A FAN, because of the ear thing and color changes. I love kiara, I love that they gave the cub at the end of the first movie a cute funny name like fluffy. But as a fan, I can be a fan of fan fiction if that's what you consider the book set. It's not like the set was within copyright reason or anything. They would have gotten in trouble. I can be a fan of both. It fits. IM NOT SAYING IT'S CANON I KNOW IT'S NOT REAL IT'LL NEVER BE REAL I KNOW THAT. But lion king itself isn't real. It's not "based on a true story" or something ridiculous like that which makes it fluid. It can be warped to fans ideas. I like the idea of the book set. I'm a fan of it. I own it. That doesn't mean I'm saying he's canon.[/quote]
And you are entitled to have whatever you want as the lore of your headcanon/personal fan theories. You have stated you know it isn't canon so there's no reason for people to argue with you about what you like as a fan theory. All of that said, if you come here (to a thread like this one) and mention what you like to think in your fan world, there will be people who will tell you, sometimes harshly, that that's simply not the way things are, because this thread is about what is and isn't canon, and was in fact created because someone genuinely believed/wanted to believe that canonically, Fluffy is Kopa, which, as you have stated and know, simply isn't true. Thus the arguments here have been about the canonity of the situation. As a fan you are entitled to enjoy the franchise however you wish.
