Just for the sake of sheer, morbid curiousity:
What ways do you think the curse of the Lion king will be continued on in?
The curse is the well known coincidence that in the two TLK movies [1/2 really doesn't count....] that 2 of the main characters must die.
In TLK 1, Mufasa fell from a cliff, and was trampled by many wildebests. Scar was eaten by hyenas and his remains were burned.
In TLK 2, Nuka was crushed by falling logs on the river dam. Zira was presumably killed when she was washed away in the sweeping currents that were created when the log dam fell.
So the question is this:
In what ways do you think the next two characters will die?

Hmm. As much as I'd LOVE to say that Zazu gets what's coming to him, I think he might just be left out of the movie altogether.
When it comes to the minor character death, I'll guess that it will be Vitani. Sorry Raf, just can't think of anyone else lol. The way she'll pass on? Hmm, I'll say she'll be killed in a fight to protect the Pridelands. That way, she dies, but it's an honorable death. ^^
As for the antagonist, who ever it may be, I'll just stick to what Disney has already used so far. Both of the antagonists (Scar and Zira) fell down a cliff of some sort, just one wasn't quite finished off when he hit the ground lol, so I'll say that the antagonist in the next TLK will meet the same fate. They will be tossed off a cliff, never to be seen again. This is a way that Disney can say that the bad guy/girl is dead, without having to show anything inappropriate to the younger audience so I think they'll stick with it.
That's just my take on it lol.

I dunno. I think the likely-est thing would be someone passing away. Unfortunately, the only person that old would be Raf himself... T.T

No, she's still much too young. The runner up would be former queen Sarabi.

You know Disney would never do that because they don't have anyone to take his place in the movie. There's no one else to do the various ceremonies and unless there's some extended family we've never seen in the films, I think Raf is safe as long as the movies keep coming out. I could see Sarabi "dying" but not on screen. They'd just make some mention of it somewhere, like Simba would say something like, "I wish my mother was around to see this." or something to that nature as to imply that she's gone, from old age, but never have to show it. That's the Disney way of death. Oh, and I can't see Sarafina getting killed off because 1/2 the audience, at least I'm sure of, wouldn't know who Sarafina was nor would they care of such a minor (to them) loss, since her name was never ACTUALLY spoken in the movie. ^^

Hmm... I think not. In TLK: Six new adventures, Raf goes back to his homeland. Although it's been hammered by drought, it clearly show's he's got family there.

I didn't know that, but there again, I didn't know about the books either for the longest time. Well, Disney would have to work in a family member of Raf's then to take his place, which might prove challenging, if the target audience is like me, and never read the books lol. So they'd need a quick backstory of that in the film to familiarize the audience about that. It's a doable but I don't see it happening lol. I think Raf will live forever. It must be the stick that keeps him alive. If he's parted from it for too long, he will perish lol.

Either way, there most likely will be less, if none of Mufasa in the third. He hardly had a part in SP!!

Them's some strong words. AND highly unlikely. They are unfortunatley the most popular with 5 year olds, and on the most merchandice. They've even got their own show!! There is -34% chance of their death in the new movie...

yup, they better have the all just read every word out of the dictionary and record it so they can use their voices even if they're gon lol. It won't be the same experience if they pass away and Disney tries to replace them. It just doesn't work good. (glares at Zazu) Let's hope it will come out before any of them leave this earth though.

Well, considering I'm hoping this will be a prequel.....
the logical choice would be Mufasa's parents dying....because we know they must for Mufasa to take over as king.
If it's not a prequel, I think Zazu should be thrown, tied up, into the birdie boiler. *lol* And, then they can maybe get rid of....umm....the gopher?

"Knarrly, news from the underground...the gopher doesn't like that answer!" hehe. poor gopher. It must be hard to support a family off of just 6 words in the best Disney movie ever. (scratches head thoughtfully) I wonder how much he got paid for his brief moment of fame and what his name is lol. (chuckles) At least Simba had fun with him during The Morning Report sequence. ^^
