I thought Nuka was an interesting character and he's probably one of the characters that I can relate to best. With regards to him being a villian, I'm assuming he was raised similarly to Kovu and so he never experienced anything other than what Zira told him. Since he didn't get a chance to learn any other side of the situation, it's not really feasible to expect him not to be a villian. He was simply following the only moral system he knew as best he could. From the (limited) sample in the movie, it seemed like Nuka did his best to follow all the rules and do all the right things, but he was never rewarded with positive attention so I guess you could expect him to be a little neurotic...

So in short, yes, I do like Nuka

Next to Kovu,he's my fave!

I love Nuka, but I've always felt bad for him. No mane (technically), termite infestation, never appreciated. He must have thought his luck went down the toilet when Zira screamed at him a few times in the movie. To be honest, I think he needed a little bit more of a role in the movie.

I really feel sorry for the poor guy...He was skinny, had fleas, barely had a mane, appeared insane and he was a bit jumpy. Also his own mother didn't reward him for his efforts to be a good son, all she did was shout at him and bare her teeth at him. She treated him like a dirtbag, and when he finally died..She all of a sudden cared. What a pathetic mother...

So..Yeah, I think Nuka is a good character.

Personally, I`ve never liked him.. I find him weird and annoying.

He is a quite complex character, though. Tragic-comic, lol. All he wanted was Ziras approval.

i think he's cute ! i cried when he died. and i wish zira would of took better care of nuka.

He was always my favourite character^^

I love him,he's my favorite after Vitani
