Line #3 Recap/TheLionGuardS1E17TheTroubleWithGalagos


1	'''Summary:''' The Guard must help a leopard stand up to a bully challenging his territory.
2	----
3	!!This episode contains examples of:
4	* AllYourPowersCombined: To help Badili gain self-confidence, the Lion Guard coaches him in their own areas of expertise. {{Downplayed}} in that Badili can't match their natural prowess, but it's enough to help him stand up to Mapigano.
5	* AnAesop: While it's great to look out for others when they need help, it's important that they are still able to stand up for themselves when needed because if you always stand up for them, they'll be helpless when you aren't around.
6	* BullyHunter: Deconstructed. The Guard initially drive away Mapingano upon seeing him bullying Badili, but when they learn that Mapingano had come back soon after they left, they realize they should have been teaching Badili to stand up for himself instead of doing it for him.
7	* CatsAreMean: While averted with Badili, Mapingano plays this straight.
8	* ContinuityNod: When Badili quickly surrenders to the Guard, he states that he only growled because he thought they were a bunch of baboons who were chasing him in his dream. Fuli then sympathizes and says that she gets that dream all the time. This is a nod to the angry baboon troop that chased Fuli in ''Return of the Roar''.
9	* CowardlyLion: Or cowardly leopard in this case. Badili is a peace-loving leopard that doesn't like fighting and is afraid to stand up for himself. But after some training, he musters up the courage to stand up to Mapigano. While he is scared deep down, he's willing to stand up himself in the end and send Mapigano packing.
10	--> '''Badili''': Could you tell how scared I was?
11	--> '''Bunga''': Are you kidding? You looked nothing but brave.
12	* DirtyCoward: Mapigano likes to act all high and mighty before a timid Badili. But when the Lion Guard confronts him he turns tail. Then later when Badili to shows that he's [[NotAfraidOfYouAnymore not scared of him anymore]] he takes off again - with a doggy yelp, to boot.
13	* LovableCoward: Even though leopards are expected to be able to defend their territory from others, Badili is too timid and gentle-hearted. But Lion Guard sees his kind heart and help him stand up for himself.
14	* MeaningfulName:
15	** Badili means "changed" in Swahili. Over the course of the episode, Badili goes from being very timid and easily scared to confident and brave.
16	** Mapigano means "fight" in Swahili: Mapigano being the leopard who stole Badili's turf after winning a fight.
17	* MightyRoar: Badili earns to master his roar with help from Kion and uses it to stand up to and chase off Mapigano.
18	* NeverTrustATitle: While galagos play a major role, the conflict focuses more on a leopard having trouble standing up for himself.
19	* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: Badili says this right to Mapigano's face and gets the point across with a MightyRoar.
20	* OnSecondThought: The galagos come to Lion Guard panicking over a leopard that moved into their tree. Even after the leopard proves to be friendly in heart, they are still terrified of him and swiftly reject the idea of Badili sharing the tree with them. But after the Lion Guard helps Badili get his home back, galalogs come crying over another animal in their tree. The gang finds Bunga up in the galago tree cuddling them because of their soft fur. After he gives Laini a tight hug, she then feels that maybe sharing the tree with Badili wouldn't have been so bad after all.
21	* PredatorsAreMean: Averted with Badili. He's a big, friendly leopard who just wants to be left in peace. But he barges into the galagos' tree when a leopard who plays the trope straight takes his home.
22	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The galagos.
23	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Mapigano, twice when confronted by the Lion Guard and Badili separately.
24	* TrainingMontage: The Guard helps Badili improve in strength, speed, and confidence, set to the song "Find Your Roar".
25	* TrivialTitle: The Galagos are only in the episode for at least 5 minutes.
26	* TookALevelInBadass: Badili starts off timid and meek. But with help from the Lion Guard, he becomes brave enough, strong enough, fast enough, confident enough, and fierce enough to take his home back.
