Talk:The Lion Guard: Vanishing Hope/@comment-27625725-20160728183730

Just going to comment with my views on the story!

Praise:
 * Kion praising his niece, Mari, suggests that she is very popular in the family, fostering a relationship between the characters.
 * Ono's behavior was all very in-character(taking to the air the air to investigate a sound, perching on Beshte's back, bowing to Kiara).
 * The death of the hyrax was a good idea, as it shows that the Lion Guard cannot save every animal.
 * The comfort that Kiara offered Kion expressed how much she loves her little brother.

Criticism:
 * The Guard did not do anything to save the hyrax after it sank beneath the surface of the water. They might have tried to pull it out and save its life(Beshte is a very good swimmer, Ono could have flown over the water and used his talons to grab the hyrax underwater).
 * Beshte did not really have a strong reaction towards the death of the hyrax, which is a little out of character, as he is a big sensitive softie.
 * Kion did not show any sign of recognizing his father's words, which seems a little odd.
 * Though Juniperus procera grows in northern Tanzania(location of the Serengeti), I do not think that borage is native to that region, though I might be mistaken.
