The second part though I think was a victim of a very dense plot. Lion-o has very little emotional reaction to anything in this episode. He's standing right behind Tygra as he says that the day Lion-o was born he lost the two most important things in his life (which is pretty rude) and Lion-o just has this zoned out look on his face. I think they just wanted to focus on Tygra's emotions.

Lion-O is far more mature in this episode than he has been lately. What his brother said may have sounded selfish, but he's just going to let it slide because he knows he's going through an emotional and mental rollercoaster right now (after all, he's been there himself). It's true the animators could have made him look sad without him saying anything, but I think it works better if he stays strong for the sake of Tygra.
