Open topic to freely talk about Banzai

Poor Banzai, only character out of all of them that gets his name spelled wrong in their new thread.

Dude just can't catch a break.

I know right? It bothers me every time I see his name spelled incorrectly. It looks like "Bohnz-ee" like this, instead of "Bohnz-eye." I feel like people are saying it in an accent when it's typed that way.

Sadly he, and the other hyenas, are so underrated that most people probably don't realize it's incorrect.

It's sad because I think the hyenas have a lot of potential for character developing and exploring in fics and theories. There's so many variables that make them fun to ponder about, but like Timon and Pumbaa, most fans don't give them much thought.

Fixed the name.

He's pretty cool. Cheech Marin was a perfect choice for his VA.

He is one badass hyena. I also find him very lovable, handsome, and funny. He should be king.

He was going to be in Simba's Pride, from what I heard. But not Ed and Shenzi, I guess? Huh.

Definitely a strong, charming, funny, and underrated character. I love Banzai!
