Talk:The Lion King II: Simba's Pride/@comment-9105319-20130813005254/@comment-1672596-20150219140128

Yeah, Simba did indeed have a very good reason for being distrustful of Kovu, considering those Outsiders were formerly Scar's minions (and you remember how Scar ruined not only Simba's life, but those of Pride Rock), and Kovu is strongly implied to be Scar's chosen heir. Certainly, Simba had far more of a reason to severely distrust the Outsiders than King Triton did to distrust humans or even prevent Ariel from becoming human (honestly, the humans we did see didn't seem to even be aware of merpeople existing, either never having heard of them before in the case of Eric [as he didn't seem to even know about King Triton] or simply not believing them to exist [like with Grimsby], and the one person who definitely seemed to be aware of merpeople, that slightly addled sailor in the beginning, actually seemed to highly respect merpeople considering he released a fish to pay homage to King Triton, which meant King Triton's distrust of humans was predicated more on racism than them being a direct threat to the merpeople).
