#I know there's fics and art treating Lion Guard by other rules

[lesserfandomappreciation]

So what do you think would happen if po the five and Shifu met the lion guard ?

That... would really depend.

Po, the 5, and Shifu's world seems to have furries but also animals who are just... animals. Like yes there are talking chickens but there's also... plain... to eat... chickens. There's the argument of "hey maybe everyone is vegetarian" but then why are they eating some foods that usually include meat in them in some capacity? There's for sure fish that don't talk and are just for food, but there's literally a kung-fu master who is a goldfish so there's some distinction somewhere.

The Lion Guard on the other hand are straight up animals. Sure there's societal structure and language of some kind but there's nothing to imply that they could be understood by non-animal beings (which starts up the whole argument of anyone in Kung-Fu Panda counting as an animal vs as a furry and where that distinction lies which is outside my wheelhouse). That's not even getting into the fact that they still follow the rules of animals. Predators still very much hunt, kill and eat prey. Nature still takes precedence. Like if you were to drop a human into the Lion Guard, no amount of singing would get the human to understand them and its very possible any of the characters would just... act as they would irl.

So if we're going by Lion Guard rules (they're all animals) then all the warriors would see are animals with a concerning amount of coordinating skills. Po's delighted, no doubt, these are some cool looking animals, but seeing a group of animals communicate in a way no one else understands is concerning.

A flock of sheep slowly turning their heads to stare is concerning already. A bird, a cheetah, a lion, a discount weasel and an aquatic murder horse doing the same is cause for alarm.
