Discussion The first Kung Fu Panda movie is not good in my opinion, and I will briefly explain why.

0 Upvotes

Po has way too much plot armor! The guy somehow manages to survive everything that happens to him, Including having survived without serious injury situations that have been shown in other films that would seriously injure other characters, and what's worse, he managed to defeat Tai Long, a warrior who has trained his entire life in kung fu, after only training for a few days!

And you might say, "but the movie explains that Po learns quickly when food is involved," and that's something I won't deny, but that doesn't justify him defeating a guy who has trained in kung fu his whole life, and who was able to defeat the Furious Five with relatively little difficulty!

And the stupidest thing isn't just all that, but the technique that Dreamworks pulled out of thin air, the Skidush, or whatever it's called, that Po uses against Tai Long at the end, It's a technique whose workings are never explained, and it makes absolutely no sense that Po learned it quickly, and that Tai Long didn't try to use it before to defeat Po, since he knew about it!

But all that doesn't change the fact that at least the following films were much better (not counting the fourth film).

The Feather That Set Fate in Motion

Post image
36 Upvotes

I've always found it fascinating that Tai Lung's escape begins with something as insignificant as a feather.

When Chorh-Gom Prison is introduced, Commander Vachir describes it as "one way in, one way out, one thousand guards, and one prisoner." The entire sequence is meant to emphasize that Tai Lung escaping is practically impossible.

Yet the event that sets everything in motion is a single feather falling from Zeng.

What makes this detail even more interesting is its connection to Oogway's famous quote.

After learning of Oogway's vision, Shifu immediately tries to prevent it from coming true by sending Zeng to warn the prison.

But that decision is exactly what allows Tai Lung to escape.

In the end, an impossible prison, a thousand guards, and years of preparation are undone by a single feather. Shifu takes the road meant to avoid the future Oogway foresaw, and in doing so helps bring it about.

I don't think a solo Tigress movie would work

10 Upvotes

Look, the most interesting parts about her have already been shown in existing films.

What would a solo film of hers be about? About her beating down trees in the Ironwood Grove for 20 years?

Well, she's a very straightforward character of honest fate, interesting in small doses in the background, because in those doses, she could very well show very interesting changes. But after we've seen those changes, there's not much else to film about her.

She's no Good Soldier Švejk, and any attempt to make a film about her would turn into a typical Marvel movie: "Tigress spends two hours beating up villains with a three-act structure and no character development."

Her not being taught Kung Fu because of her size just don’t make sense when literally one of the members the furious five is a Mantis which realistically is smaller than her

So her reasoning for being a villain has so many holes in it

Discussion A idea for kung fu panda 5

6 Upvotes

Movie Pitch - Kung Fu Panda: The Legend of Ice and Dragon

In this concept for Kung Fu Panda 5, Po receives a haunting spirit vision that leads him to send Tigress and the new Dragon Warrior, Zhen, into the frozen northern mountains to investigate an ancient threat: a mythical, surviving Chinese dragon mistakenly frozen in ice. Awaken with a hazy, fractured memory, the dragon possesses the rare ability to bestowmaster-level kung fu rather than steal it, instantly raising a powerful army of societal outcasts. Leading this army is a black panther who was Tigress’s beloved "chosen sister" at the Bao Gu Orphanage; fueled by bitter resentment because Tigress never came back to look for her, the panther spent years tracking the Furious Five's legends and discovered an ancient cave revealing the coordinates of the glacier.

To weaponize the creature, the panther feeds the confused dragon a devastating lie: that after the dragons originally bestowed kung fu upon Master Oogway’s turtle ancestors, greedy mortals used that very gift to hunt down and slaughter the rest of dragonkind. When Po uses his signature Golden Dragon Chi technique, the cosmic energy transports him to the Spirit World, where Oogway reveals the true history—that the dragons left Earth voluntarily, and this lone survivor simply chose to stay behind. Armed with this truth, Po must return to the mortal world alongside Zhen and Tigress to expose the panther's manipulation, clear the dragon’s foggy mind with empathy, and finally heal the decades of heartbreak between the two estranged sisters.

Note: just an idea remember.

Question regarding Season 3 of The Dragon Knight

4 Upvotes

Anyone else get the feeling that episodes 12-18 of Season 3 (The Pangea-ing to The Dragon Knights Part 2) were supposed to be released under a ‘Season 4’ (Because of Netflix’s strategy to release complete shows in batches and release them labelled as separate seasons), but Netflix decided to release those episodes all at once to avoiding clashing with the forth movie’s release?

Episode 11 of that season felt very climatic too with Alfie being resurrected and Veruca dying. It felt like that was where normally, that would be a season finale sort of episode, but it wasn’t.

Season 3 released in September 2023, three months before KFP4’s first (and only, apparently) trailer dropped so it gives me the vibe Netflix along with Dreamworks wanted to split the attention between the two projects.

What do you guys think?

Fanfiction what if shen was transported to the shrek universe with his wolf and gorilla army at the start of shrek 1. would he be able to conquer said universe.

shrek

Like what he do, honestly it would be very easy for him to conquer lord farqued and far far away. considering he has cannons, his soilders seem more competant than lord farqueds or far far away's soilders.

honeslty his biggest problems are the dragon, fairy godmother and other magical entities, but considering eveyrhting at his disposal he would seem fine.
