WHOOAAAA! this debate is really going hectic from the last couple pages I read. OK, as a Lion-O supporter, I admit he has shown to be a jerk to varying degrees. Ramlak Rising, he went out of line possibly due to his coping with his father’s murder. Now Lion-O and Tygra, quite frankly are both jerks at this point to each other.
Hopefully after “Between Brothers” they get along better and understand one another. BUT as we all are showing a concern about the supposed continuation of the love triangle,(which is a ridiculous idea at this point) Lion-O or Tygra OR BOTH may still have a hard time giving her up and continue their feud.
They are losing focus on the more important matters, IF it goes that route.
Is it necessary for Lion-O to have a girlfriend JUST to have a girlfriend? NO it’s not. But, lets admit that since the premiere and with Cheetara around, we all got excited for Lion-O and Tygra, more so for each one’s favorite brother.
Returning to Lion-O, aside from his quest, not as a “consolation” or reward, but it would be nice for him to meet a girl he could relate to, and confide in during his turmoil. He may not show it, but the death of his father is burning inside him and he does not want to fail his Father, as shown in “Between Brothers” when that huge stone face of Claudus rose up underneath them. He is still irrational, may come off as “needy” but in “Song of the Petalars”, Emrick was a possible foreshadowing to how we will see Lion-O grow in this Journey.
With Cheetara around, there was no denying his attraction for her, can you blame him? And he thought he had a possibility for something genuinely more with her. But of course, that came crashing down with the recent Tygra-Cheetara romance, as seen by the look on his face. As much as many Lion-O supporters (myself included) wanted his pairing with Cheetara to have come through, it’s due to pointing out the obvious that has been largely argued on. Cheetara’s behavior with Lion-O since the first episode.
Not to come off as " kicking and screaming" and being sour about the result, but really why make all that build up with Lion-O, and for what? To further cause a rift between two brothers? Cheetara seemed flattered after knowing (I’m not referring to the recent Mumm-Ra speculation) exactly one of the major reasons why the brothers fought in the Astral Plane. Namely over her…
