[quote="VoxLight"]So Canocally, Mufassa is probably nalas father[/quote]
Canonically, which is what I think you were trying to say, means officially. Officially, neither is Nala's father. That's not up for debate.
To the rest of that mess, actually, real prides do sometimes have more than one male if the males are related. It's not uncommon, actually. Usually the one male is the father of all the cubs, yes, but not always. If it were a real pride, yes Mufasa would be the most likely candidate for Nala's father. But the lions in the movie are anthropomorphized, and they are "civilized." They are not a real pride, and don't act like a real pride.
In fan theories, you can choose whoever you want as Nala's father, but canonically, she doesn't have one. Period.
[quote]Honestly, i dont think that we should say "oh it was probably none of them" but we also shouldnt say "it was definetly him" without saying "it was him because, and it makes me think that because".[/quote]
If you want to go with what's official, there is nothing else to say except that it is DEFINITELY none of them. If you're talking fan theories, have a hay day. This thread isn't about fan theories though, it's about Nala's REAL father. This means that Ni, Ahadi, and all other semi-canon characters are irrelevant and so is anything that isn't official. What is official is that Nala does not have a father, as the character was unnecessary for the plot.
