Please forgive me the frustrated tone. No offense intented to anyone. For now this fandom has just made me so frustrated because it just can't draw a line anywhere when it comes to what is official/canon.
There's a reason why there are the different terms; canon, semi-canon, fanfiction. Because there's a difference and the difference matters. I personally welcome fanfiction with open arms into my interests in fandoms - but I do find it also awfully important that the facts are kept straight in official/canon vs. fanfiction. And in this fandom the facts are so messed up.
"Scar killed Mheetu! It is true! Just খুঁজুন google!" Since when was যেভাবে খুশী গুগুল খুঁজুন results the Truth? I think you'll find the truth a whole lot less dranatic. And "Zira killed Kopa and that's why-" Blah blah BLAH. Then why doesn't the film refer to any cub অথবা murder with so much as half a word?! Perhaps because Zira DIDN'T kill a cub. "Why haven't they made a movie where they explain what happened to Kopa?!" Because nothing happened to Kopa for Kopa has never existed in the movie universe.
আপনি know what I think is this fandom's problem?
This:
"Mheetu,Sarafina's son দ্বারা an unknown male is never mentioned in the movie. But he does exist! So what do আপনি think is his story? Here is my opinion..."
As in that every character who has ever been mentioned in The Lion King universe in the slightest official shape অথবা form - whether it was originally intented into a film অথবা simply has Disney's stamp on it - has to have an official story for why they don't প্রদর্শনী up in the film(s).
In fact Mheetu doesn't exist and he doesn't have a story for not being in the movie(s) because he was cut out with no references. Hence, CUT out, not written out. And Kopa doesn't appear in the Simba's Pride film because he never existed in the first place.
Boring? Yes, I agree. But that's the reality of film making;
Mheetu is a victim of how lots of stuff is intented but then cut out as unfitting, unneeded, অথবা just out of the way of better ideas, and thus not meant as part of the final outcome's universe in any way. Becomes non-existent without a story for it.
Kopa is just a fanfiction character which ডিজনি holds copyrights for. Because he wasn't developed দ্বারা ডিজনি and he was evidently never intented দ্বারা the film makers. He was created দ্বারা non-Disney people after the film was released. Created him into the book universe for kids' amusement and Disney's profit purposes, which is very likely the only reason ডিজনি gave its stamp on the বই and several other বই that contradict those books' content. (Being the evidence why the book universe is fanfiction stories and not semi-canon.) And thus Kopa got ignored and denied দ্বারা all film makers and remains a fanfiction character who never existed in the film universe and so doesn't have a story for it.
There are no stories for the two characters' absence in the films. Mheetu just isn't there and Kopa is a never-was.
It's cool and fine if আপনি want to create and share fanfiction মতামত for why they don't appear in the films - those made-up stories may be even interesting. But for heaven's sake, they don't REALLY have a story other than that they just aren't/never were there. So please stop spreading the stories as official - because not one of them is, and please stop saying/giving the impression that the characters officially exist in the movie universe - because they don't.
There are many অনুরাগী out here who actually care about the facts and discussing the true canon world - and even আরো importantly, when new people come asking প্রশ্ন they naturally want THE FACTS and not your personal believes, not your ফ্যান্টাসি world mambo chambo and fanfiction visions.
