Kopa? (Patreon)

What’s up yall? Are you guys familar with Kopa? He is supposed to be Simba and Nala’s first born son. He appeared in a book series that came out shortly after the first movie. When the Lion King 2 was being created, the creators were not aware of the book series which is why Kopa is non-existent. Many people don’t believe the books are “canon”. What do you think? Should Kopa make an appearance in the Pridelands or would that be too confusing. Lmk your thoughts!
