Kovu is an okay character.

In my opinion, I would like the movie better if the writer and director would have kept the idea of making Kovu Scar's son. That idea could have worked if Kiara wasn't a character in the film. The massage of the second film could have been stronger if Kovu was related to Scar, Simba, and Mufasa.

Here is how it could of work:

Kovu son of Scar and Zira, after the death of Scar, Zira honers to fill Scar's wishes to make Kovu follow his father's paw print to kill his cousin Simba and become King of the Pride Lands. But to do that Kovu has to get close to Simba and to that he uses Nala (imagine Kovu as a lion version of Gaston). After talks with both Simba and Nala, Kovu begins to debate rather to side with his pride for his father or his father's former pride and he begins to realize his late father's actions and lies and betrays his pride and parents.
