In my opinion, one of the most incredible things about this movie is that they made a freaking peacock seem more intimidating and frightening than a snow leopard. Kudos Dreamworks.
mini2239 There was a scrapped background story for Shen that I thought would have made a lot more sense of his descent into madness and given us a real answer to why he really believed his parents never loved him, not just the fact he was banished.
Shen took his exile as a sign his parents never loved him, when honestly that was a huge act of mercy on their part that I doubt they'd grant to anyone *other* then their son. Anyone else would have been imprisoned and executed for what he did. If anything them giving him the chance to turn his life around somewhere else despite his horrible crime is the ultimate proof they still loved him.
Bob the Builder I'm pretty sure the wolves were only a single unit/section of Gongmen City's military. Otherwise, why would Shen have total control over them, especially given how concerned his parents were over what he could potentially do with gunpowder? I always saw it as the wolves were just a section of Gongmen's army, and the rest of the city's military fell apart after Shen's parents died and the Kung Fu masters Ox, Croc and Rhino took over.
The wolves were a very distinctly unloved and neglected part of the Gomgmen military - before Shen came along and earned their loyalty by befriending them. He identified with them because Shen was frail and albino as a child and so sequestered by his parents - it was his mistaking their worry for not wanting him around that truly led Shen into thinking his parents hated him. By the time he was a young adult they were basically his private military, and were banished with him for the Panda massacre. The gazelles are still around at the start of KFP2 as the Gongmen military, we see Shen dispose of several outside the gates to his palace. When he unveiled his cannon, and due to the sheer size and power to which his military had grown in his exile, the Gongmen military surrendered with the Kung Fu masters.
The opening of this movie is brilliant. The characters don't need to say a word - you can feel horror and heartbreak in the peacocks' faces and expressions, and pinpoint the moment when Shen realized he may have gone too far.

@@katelynbodiford5680 In which way? Intelligence yes but if they ever got into a fight unless they where both using swords Shen might aswell be dinner as its very unlikely of him winning
That IS the actual interpretation of the soothsayers vision. Shen destroys himself in the end. Watch the final battle. Po is giving advice about how Shen can move on...and Shen CHOOSES to fight Po. In the fight, Shens attacks at Po are distractions to push Po away...while his other movements are to cut away the supports to the cannon. He is trying to attempt suicide AND bring Po with him.
Am I the only one who thinks that Lord Shen's fate was eerily similar to Shakespeare's Macbeth? Both of them ended up sealing their fate while trying to change it...
It's a plot device known as the "self-fulfilling prophecy" and it has been used since the time of Ancient Greece, most notably in the legend of Oedipus. The Harry Potter series also uses this device. Though, yeah, I would say that Lord Shen might be inspired by Macbeth, given the similarities between their tragic quest to fulfil their ambition.
Kuroro2345 Macbeth was reluctant to do bad things and knew it was too late to turn back on what he has done. In fact that is all Lady Macbeth's fault. Shen has already an murderous ambition only after hearing a prophecy.
It's a very large theme throughout this entire trilogy. The same thing happened to Po. He didn't believe he was the Dragon Warrior because he got constantly shit on by everybody except for Master Oogway. So he tried to leave. He tried to NOT fight Tai-Lung. But that ended up leading to Shifu training Po, leading to the confrontation with Tai-Lung and realizing that Po was, in fact, the Dragon Warrior.
@@musikafossora the architecture is from the ming dynasty, but the pagoda ( shen's home has like 30% element of the song dynasty architecture) from which the gun powder originated
Well he's a peacock because they're believed to be bad omens and usually signify death when they're white feathered but for other colors they have different meanings
Shifu sends duck messager to make sure Tai Lung won't escape. Tai Lung escapes using one of the duck's feathers. Shen goes to wipe out the pandas so that one of them doesn't become a threat to his goals of conquering China. Baby panda ends up in the Valley of a Peace and grows up to become the Dragon Warrior.
0:29 I love that when he first sees the explosion, there's a split second where it looks like Shen is shocked, even horrified, by what he's created - and then it passes as he smirks upon realizing how powerful it makes him. A great little indicator of his character right there - that he was always someone who didn't _have_ to be evil. He just _chose_ to be. 1:32 Jeeeeeeesus, that landscape shot. With the black and white forge fortress floating above the ominous mountains, with a giant cloud of smoke above and lit only by the hellish glow of the furnace...that's some Warhammer 40k shit right there. I look at this landscape shot and I struggle to remember this is from a movie starring Jack Black as the funny fat panda.
I like how they underscore that constantly with Shen's character. He COULD be different, but he chooses not to. His fate is only unavoidable because he is unwilling to stray from the path leading him to it.
This movie deals with *mental* -Lord Shen : he wants to change his fate because of his *paranoia* that lead him to into commit genocide. - Po : Po deals with *PTSD* , he always gets distracted by a symbol of his past. - Tigress: depression she had hard time dealing with the past.
Am I the only one who thinks that all of this could have been averted if Shen's parents hadn't made too much out of his desire to experiment with fireworks? He was just a boy, and it's not like we all didn't have destructive potential as children. This might be a generalization, but you can't say it's unheard of for boys when playing pretend, particularly inventive ones, to enjoy making weapons or in general to want to make things go boom..
Augustus Floyd They created the fireworks for peace and joy. Besides Shen, they were their greatest creations. The fact that he took something they had made for others and perverted it into a tool of war hurt them. The idea that their only son didn't think to use them for joy like they did was almost too much. It wasn't about Shen being inventive. It was about the idea that he wasn't thinking peace. He was thinking conquest.
@@jhymelbyrd154: I don't think Shen was dark for exploring other uses for gun powder. Like expressed before a weapon can be a deterrent vs offensively used. However as also pointed out, when confronted with the choice he had to make, he could have sworn never to use the gunpowder to attack. Only defend, instead his first answer was to wipe out a bunch of innocent creatures. Shen clearly had darkness in him from the start.
Augustus Floyd Shen wasn't really a good person deep down, and honestly him being a boy doesn't really have much to do with that. There are just some things we know are fundamentally wrong as people and if you're capable of putting an entire civilization to the sword because you refuse to change then that says alot more about what type of person you'll become than what you could've been. Shen could've done some introspection, but he didn't. He could've spent time to himself to reflect, but he didn't do that either. Instead he chose one of the most vile and heinous misdeeds ever because of a prophecy that could've been remained unfulfilled if he worked to be a better person. It seems in the end his refusal to better himself meant his demise.
@@MaceAhWindu i feel silly at answering a comment made a year ago .. but not really.. its a very human thing to weaponize knowledge and technology .. however if they were afraid their son would become a warmonger they should had talk things out with him ..instead of asking a soothsayer
I love how the most subtle part at the end where he accepts his fate when his own weapon kills him- and the fireworks that come out form a peacock shape, and the soothsayer smiles. I think shen finally found his peace with his death.
It’s actually funny that you bring this up in extended versions of Shens backstory it is explained among other things curial to his character that I’ll bring up in a minute. The wolves were mainly guards of the tower and Shen himself at a younger age, but they were also weren’t really treated well, it is possible this is how Boss Wolf lost his eye. Shen befriend wolf boss and a few others which led them to be loyal to him. Ok it doesn’t explain the gorillas as far as I know but that solves the Wolf issue. The other thing explained in Shens extended backstory is he was born sickly and commonly sick with some disease as one of the meanings of white in China is death. Shens parents were ashamed of that. And considering they were the rulers of a city they couldn’t really pay much attention to him. This is where the soothsayer comes in, she was a nanny of sorts to him, therefore leaving her as the only real parental figure in his life which is likely why she was sparred in there final scene together. He is A tragic villain of sorts. Unfortunately this scene never made it into the movie due to what I’m gonna assume is length reasons. Kind of makes you feel bad for him in a way. Sorry if this seems like useless information but anyways hope you enjoyed the info ill leave a link of a dreamworks site you like that says this
On the one hand, Shen was a villain. On the other hand, his ingenuity in transforming the black powder used in fireworks into a powerful weapon is more impressive than words can describe. Think of how skilled he must've been in the fields of chemistry, physics, ballistics and more, to have built those cannons.
Not that I'm condoning Shen's decision to kill all pandas, but I don't think he started off as a murderous psychopath-he clearly cared about what his parents thought of him judging by 1:07. Plus his experimentation with the fireworks didn't seem to be all that destructive, and I think the fact that no one even knew of his cannons until his fight with Rhino is rather significant as that implies it's the first time.
No...that's what a psychopath is. They don't understand empathy, they only understand what they feel. Shen can only feel proud or anger or the need of his parents to acknowledge him He doesn't understand committing genocide is immoral.
kirbywinter His backstory from the main KungFuPanda site says that he was born sickly because of his leucism (similar to albinism, but he was meant to be depicted as the "Evil Albino") and that his parents deemed him too weak and pitiful to deserve any attention. The Soothsayer acted as his nanny, but the coldness his own family showed him drove him to act the way he is depicted. What makes it worse is that leucism is inherited (meaning he inherited the trait from one of his parents, or both since it was complete), and the fact that he was mentally unstable from his treatment makes it all the more tragic. He honestly thought that subverting a prophecy by attempting genocide would show his parents that he would be worthy of greatness.
RyunosukeHachi That wasn't his chosen backstory though. That was just an early concept which was changed later on. His parents were hinted to love him very much since at one point in the movie Shen approaches the throne and remarks on how his father used to let him play on it. Also his parents were so distraught of his banishment they passed away, which really says something. The soothsayer was not his nanny either, she was just the court's soothsayer. She was just there to provide his parents, and later him, knowledge on his future
+RyunosukeHachi I don't understand why they had to changed Shen's original background story in which it would have made a lot more sense if they kept that background instead of making him out to be nothing more than a monster who was born evil to begin with and had learned nothing of love and compassion. No matter what the intro showed us, there had to be more of why Shen became what he is and why he really believed his parents never loved him, other than the banishment. I love the original idea better because it makes more sense of his character and his feelings about the parents.
*@ Disneyfan82* Yeah, but if his parents were ashamed of him simply because of his health and appearance, then it's not really believable that they die of grief after condemning him to banishment.
What’s so terrifying yet, so interesting is that while the entire Trilogy takes place an ancient China and Po and the furious five stopped the creation of the new age of weapons that overpowered traditional martial arts, in today’s timeline, cannons still became a large scale camaraderie that revolutionized combat and wars in unspeakable ways. So while Shen was stopped and his creation was “destroyed”, his conception was still used by another. By the time Po and his allies passed on until the afterlife, their was nothing stopping the creation and mass distribution of cannons and that would eventually inspire or lead to another dangerous weapon, gunpowder.
Yeah, thinking about it is sad, Kung Fu is destined to die, and probably Chi mastery will be forgotten again, thanks to the evolution of the weapons industry. Though KFP is not bound to real life history, so maybe it won't happen, or they will find a way to mix both.
kung fu panda 2 is severely underrated. Shen is a unbelievably good villain. Even after his horrendous acts and unforgivable nature, you can somehow still sympathize with him. and honestly in the cannon factory scene, thats when shen became the best villain of dreamworks. And when he died, he didn't try to run from the boat when the cannon was falling down on him, he just accepted his death. And the fact he caused mass genocide without thinking twice was absolutely terrifying. he stopped at absolutely nothing to prevent his destiny, and the most terrifying part, shen in a way actually won. he proved the soothsayer wrong when she said shen would be defeated by a warrior of black and white when the cannon fell down on him. it wasn't po who killed shen, it was shen's own creation. man shen gives me chills
Shen haves a great villain appearance because his color (white) symbolizes the death in the Chinese culture. I think he looks more villain in the flashbacks where he was seen with red eyes because sometimes red symbolizes the evil.
I remember watching this film when it was released in the UK when I was a kid. I remember not liking it as much but I completely forgot what happened in it. I just watched it yesterday for the first time in years and damn this is far better than the first one, Gary Oldman’s portrayal of Lord Shen is excellent.
Oogway: one often meets his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it Shen: kills all the pandas to avoid his destiny Soothsayer in the story: he did something that sealed his destiny
it means that if you avoid something on purpose and tried to take a different option what you tried to avoid will encounter you on the that path and you anyway would have to confront it.
[Cuts to the Jade Palace where two kids are seen playing with Po and Tigress action figures in the Training Hall's courtyard.] BUNNY CHILD:- And then, the Dragon Warrior joined the Furious Five!
What an amazing spine chilling start to an amazing movie, KFP2 will always be my favorite out of the 3, but lets see if the 4th will be able to top it,
Doesn't this tie up perfectly with what Oogway says in the first movie? "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." That's exactly what happened to Shen as well: his paranoia on wanting to eliminate the pandas only led to the rise of Po, ultimately creating his own demise.
I really do love this intro. Chinese shadow puppets have always fascinated me as an art form, and seeing them used prominently in a big-budget western animated film was really something. Now all I need is to find an entire movie of the stuff.
My most favorite lines from shen are "Are you actually believe this is the warrior destined to defeat me?" and when he is practicing his guandao sword skills to meet Po " Greeting panda, at last we meet! Oh no no no no no. We meet at last, yes thats it! Greetings panda, we meet at huee!"
Lord Shen's tower by that Volcano gives off strong dark lord vibes but yeah Lord Shen despite being a Peacock seems more evil and psychotic than a snow Leopard which is astounding in addition to him also being a real personal villain to Po as he is responsible for the genocide of the Pandas and such thus has greater impact on Po's life than the other villains.
In my honest opinion. I love the 2nd and 3rd movie because in the 2nd one Po didn't really thought about his real parents and his people and now thinking he's the only panda left. The 3rd one showed that he wasn't alone, and that there was more pandas and his real father alive. I love every single movie of po because it's well balanced and how it showed how po developed even more from being trained to fight, finally bringing himself peace to himself, and finally knowing he wasn't the last panda
So, shen's prophecy said that he will be defeated by a warrior of black and white,so it could have also meant that he will be defeated by himself since he is also black and white
Plot twist: The "warrior of black and white" fortold to defeat Shen was actually supposed to set up a Dreamworks crossover where Shen fought Skipper the penguin and his crew.
Shen definitely ain’t winning (Skipper’s the only organism in the Dreamworks cinematic universe to own the N word pass given by Obama himself, making him the 2nd strongest character in the cinematic universe)
Tai Lung and Lord Shen are a tie for me for favorite Kung Fu Panda Villains. But if I had to break the tie I’d choose Lord Shen. Stories like these with heroes and villains that have dark personal history especially to this extent are always my favorite.
TBF, if he tried to take out the penguins or zebras, he’d have to deal with either Marty or Rico. Okay, Marty he could handle, but he’d have to get through Rico first.
Tai Lung wasn't a villain. It was Shifu who failed him *!* It was Shifu who determined Tai Lungs fate. He never teached him to be humble because Shifu wasn't humble himself. He never teached him to accept a defeat, Tai Lung always had to be the best in everything. Tai Lung didn't accept the apologize because it was already too *late* ,he was damaged. He choosed a path where he couldn't return (he propably murdered people). Shifu never visited his 'son' in the 20 years where he was rotting in jail. Think about it, it says a lot...
I've noticed something.. KFP: Physical KFP 2: Emotional KFP 3: Spiritual You need balance in these 3 things in your life and in your body, otherwise negativities occur. Now that's brilliant thinking!
This intro is amazing, because it perfectly establishes how evil Shen is, as well as how much darker this movie is than the first one. Notably, the first movie’s intro is fast paced and goofy, this one is the complete opposite
For my head cannon, they actually did talked to him. Problem was the two were still very doubtful and scared to believe their son could reconsider his motives. Meanwhile, Shen felt he might be doing good with his experiments, that he could bring great power to the city and show all of China why the Peacocks are incredible. And when his parents wanted him to stop his work, (feeling this is not their way of life) he was honestly quite insulted and mad they though little of his wants. Nevertheless, he reluctantly promised, though he was still bitter about it. He always felt they never supported him. So later when he went to the throne room to confront them, hoping to better convince them with a discussion about the actual benefit of his studies; to using fireworks as weapons, the lord was shocked to overhear his parents talking with a prophet about him and his passion as a "dark path". Now in this moment, Shen not only believed his mother and father truly didn’t see him being a noble successor to rule, but the idea of being threaten by some unknown "warrior of Black & White" pushed him to do whatever is necessary to change his fate.
I just realized the parallel between the story of Lord Shen & Po with Lord Voldemort & Harry Potter. Both villains believe a prophesy in which someone is going to overthrow them someday, both villains tried to "destroy" these heroes before they even emerged, and the effort to destroy these heroes are ultimately what drove the heroes to destroy the villains in return. 👏
@@lexramstudios1386 near the end of the movie, when they got back at the zoo, the atmosphere is dark with the night, combined with the fact that there were fences with barbed wire. Then DuBois was right there and she had the poison dart ready to kill Alex. It was dark the way she snuck the gun into the pointer was also dark, and the fact that Alex was giving her a clear shot because he realized he lost everything and decided he would rather die than live imprisoned for life. That part seemed pretty dark to me.
A warrior of "black and white" What he (Shen) did next only sealed it (his fate) Oh my god...the "warrior" was Shen...He's black and white (mostly). He basically screwed himself by committing genocide.
His parents loved him and banishment seemed to be a turning point.His parents created fireworks, a creation for color and joy, when when shen experimented with some he turned it into darkness and destruction in its wake
In my opinion, one of the most incredible things about this movie is that they made a freaking peacock seem more intimidating and frightening than a snow leopard. Kudos Dreamworks.
True that. Tai Lung at least had a betrayed childhood and some audience sympathy. Lord Shen is a pure evil psycho.
+Piggy Oink Oink Actually I feel that Shen was more sympathetic than Tai Lung, just look at his final scene with the Soothsayer

Very few sequels are perfect from beginning to end, but KFP2 was the sequel that was ultimately brilliant from beginning to end.

Agreed -- It's the definition of a 'Masterpiece'
It’s one of my all time favorite movies. I could watch this over and over and still find something new each time.
@@musikafossora the architecture is from the ming dynasty, but the pagoda ( shen's home has like 30% element of the song dynasty architecture) from which the gun powder originated

And now PUSS IN BOOTS 2 The Last Wish -- another MASTERPIECE sequel by DreamWorks 🥳
Director - Alright! We need to decide which animal villain is gonna be! Something menacing....dangerous...evil and...
Guy - A PEACOCK!!
Director: o_O
Well he's a peacock because they're believed to be bad omens and usually signify death when they're white feathered but for other colors they have different meanings
btw....
Shen = best KFP villain ever

Shen = Best Villain Ever
Jinhunter Slay a white and red peacock!

The real reason pandas are endangered: because a peacock hired a pack of wolves to massacre them.
1:31 this shot is absolutely gorgeous
this movie was so good
Still is DreamWorks' Best Movie to date.
Low Gunfire
Agreed! An absolute Masterpiece, unlike the 3rd Film, which I would rather forget about.
The first and second movies were better than number 3
"One often meets their destiny on the path they take to avoid it." Truer words have never been spoken
Shifu sends duck messager to make sure Tai Lung won't escape. Tai Lung escapes using one of the duck's feathers.
Shen goes to wipe out the pandas so that one of them doesn't become a threat to his goals of conquering China. Baby panda ends up in the Valley of a Peace and grows up to become the Dragon Warrior.
0:29 I love that when he first sees the explosion, there's a split second where it looks like Shen is shocked, even horrified, by what he's created - and then it passes as he smirks upon realizing how powerful it makes him. A great little indicator of his character right there - that he was always someone who didn't _have_ to be evil. He just _chose_ to be.
1:32 Jeeeeeeesus, that landscape shot. With the black and white forge fortress floating above the ominous mountains, with a giant cloud of smoke above and lit only by the hellish glow of the furnace...that's some Warhammer 40k shit right there. I look at this landscape shot and I struggle to remember this is from a movie starring Jack Black as the funny fat panda.
Being happy that you made something doesn't make you evil
@@jammygamer8961 0:29 that's not an evil smile?
@@cbfranco3307 how can a smile be evil?
I like how they underscore that constantly with Shen's character. He COULD be different, but he chooses not to. His fate is only unavoidable because he is unwilling to stray from the path leading him to it.
Speaking of Warhammer 40k, I hope the frame portrays the tone Henry Cavill adopts for his show.
This movie deals with *mental*
-Lord Shen : he wants to change his fate because of his *paranoia* that lead him to into commit genocide.
- Po : Po deals with *PTSD* , he always gets distracted by a symbol of his past.
- Tigress: depression she had hard time dealing with the past.
Am I the only one who thinks that all of this could have been averted if Shen's parents hadn't made too much out of his desire to experiment with fireworks? He was just a boy, and it's not like we all didn't have destructive potential as children. This might be a generalization, but you can't say it's unheard of for boys when playing pretend, particularly inventive ones, to enjoy making weapons or in general to want to make things go boom..
Augustus Floyd His first instinct upon learning of this prophecy was to commit genocide. So I think his parents concerns were justified.
Augustus Floyd They created the fireworks for peace and joy. Besides Shen, they were their greatest creations. The fact that he took something they had made for others and perverted it into a tool of war hurt them. The idea that their only son didn't think to use them for joy like they did was almost too much. It wasn't about Shen being inventive. It was about the idea that he wasn't thinking peace. He was thinking conquest.
@@jhymelbyrd154: I don't think Shen was dark for exploring other uses for gun powder. Like expressed before a weapon can be a deterrent vs offensively used. However as also pointed out, when confronted with the choice he had to make, he could have sworn never to use the gunpowder to attack. Only defend, instead his first answer was to wipe out a bunch of innocent creatures. Shen clearly had darkness in him from the start.
Augustus Floyd
Shen wasn't really a good person deep down, and honestly him being a boy doesn't really have much to do with that. There are just some things we know are fundamentally wrong as people and if you're capable of putting an entire civilization to the sword because you refuse to change then that says alot more about what type of person you'll become than what you could've been. Shen could've done some introspection, but he didn't. He could've spent time to himself to reflect, but he didn't do that either. Instead he chose one of the most vile and heinous misdeeds ever because of a prophecy that could've been remained unfulfilled if he worked to be a better person. It seems in the end his refusal to better himself meant his demise.
@@MaceAhWindu i feel silly at answering a comment made a year ago .. but not really.. its a very human thing to weaponize knowledge and technology .. however if they were afraid their son would become a warmonger they should had talk things out with him ..instead of asking a soothsayer
this movie was a masterpiece.
tenkochammi
True
Ikr
Was?
It’s “is”
Sweet
I love how the most subtle part at the end where he accepts his fate when his own weapon kills him- and the fireworks that come out form a peacock shape, and the soothsayer smiles. I think shen finally found his peace with his death.
I find it weird that Lord Shen literally has wolves his loyal followers since in real life wolves actually prey on Peacocks and other small animals
It’s actually funny that you bring this up in extended versions of Shens backstory it is explained among other things curial to his character that I’ll bring up in a minute. The wolves were mainly guards of the tower and Shen himself at a younger age, but they were also weren’t really treated well, it is possible this is how Boss Wolf lost his eye. Shen befriend wolf boss and a few others which led them to be loyal to him. Ok it doesn’t explain the gorillas as far as I know but that solves the Wolf issue. The other thing explained in Shens extended backstory is he was born sickly and commonly sick with some disease as one of the meanings of white in China is death. Shens parents were ashamed of that. And considering they were the rulers of a city they couldn’t really pay much attention to him. This is where the soothsayer comes in, she was a nanny of sorts to him, therefore leaving her as the only real parental figure in his life which is likely why she was sparred in there final scene together. He is A tragic villain of sorts. Unfortunately this scene never made it into the movie due to what I’m gonna assume is length reasons. Kind of makes you feel bad for him in a way. Sorry if this seems like useless information but anyways hope you enjoyed the info ill leave a link of a dreamworks site you like that says this
@@StolasFan547 wow what a backstory and here's a little fun fact I thought id mention originally Boss Wolf was meant to be a crow
Yah I think I heard that somewhere
@@StolasFan547 I guess they changed him to a wolf so he didn't look so similar to Shen
also animal cant talk...
you do know logic have no place in movie right?
On the one hand, Shen was a villain. On the other hand, his ingenuity in transforming the black powder used in fireworks into a powerful weapon is more impressive than words can describe. Think of how skilled he must've been in the fields of chemistry, physics, ballistics and more, to have built those cannons.
Not that I'm condoning Shen's decision to kill all pandas, but I don't think he started off as a murderous psychopath-he clearly cared about what his parents thought of him judging by 1:07. Plus his experimentation with the fireworks didn't seem to be all that destructive, and I think the fact that no one even knew of his cannons until his fight with Rhino is rather significant as that implies it's the first time.
No...that's what a psychopath is. They don't understand empathy, they only understand what they feel. Shen can only feel proud or anger or the need of his parents to acknowledge him He doesn't understand committing genocide is immoral.
kirbywinter His backstory from the main KungFuPanda site says that he was born sickly because of his leucism (similar to albinism, but he was meant to be depicted as the "Evil Albino") and that his parents deemed him too weak and pitiful to deserve any attention. The Soothsayer acted as his nanny, but the coldness his own family showed him drove him to act the way he is depicted. What makes it worse is that leucism is inherited (meaning he inherited the trait from one of his parents, or both since it was complete), and the fact that he was mentally unstable from his treatment makes it all the more tragic. He honestly thought that subverting a prophecy by attempting genocide would show his parents that he would be worthy of greatness.
RyunosukeHachi That wasn't his chosen backstory though. That was just an early concept which was changed later on. His parents were hinted to love him very much since at one point in the movie Shen approaches the throne and remarks on how his father used to let him play on it. Also his parents were so distraught of his banishment they passed away, which really says something. The soothsayer was not his nanny either, she was just the court's soothsayer. She was just there to provide his parents, and later him, knowledge on his future
+RyunosukeHachi I don't understand why they had to changed Shen's original background story in which it would have made a lot more sense if they kept that background instead of making him out to be nothing more than a monster who was born evil to begin with and had learned nothing of love and compassion. No matter what the intro showed us, there had to be more of why Shen became what he is and why he really believed his parents never loved him, other than the banishment. I love the original idea better because it makes more sense of his character and his feelings about the parents.
*@ Disneyfan82*
Yeah, but if his parents were ashamed of him simply because of his health and appearance, then it's not really believable that they die of grief after condemning him to banishment.
Shen is an example of how to write an excelent villian.
"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.--Oogway. (Rest in peace, turtle sensei :( )
Hands down one of the best villains I ever seen
I guess Shen's parents must have died in sorrow that instead of a great ruler they raised a demon
They did :(
Sort of. The soothsayer says later on that Shen's exile broke his parents' hearts to the point that it killed them
What’s so terrifying yet, so interesting is that while the entire Trilogy takes place an ancient China and Po and the furious five stopped the creation of the new age of weapons that overpowered traditional martial arts, in today’s timeline, cannons still became a large scale camaraderie that revolutionized combat and wars in unspeakable ways. So while Shen was stopped and his creation was “destroyed”, his conception was still used by another. By the time Po and his allies passed on until the afterlife, their was nothing stopping the creation and mass distribution of cannons and that would eventually inspire or lead to another dangerous weapon, gunpowder.
Yeah, thinking about it is sad, Kung Fu is destined to die, and probably Chi mastery will be forgotten again, thanks to the evolution of the weapons industry. Though KFP is not bound to real life history, so maybe it won't happen, or they will find a way to mix both.
Tai Lung - Darkness in his heart
Shen - Darkness and Destruction
Shen - Anger and great sadness
@@jammygamer8961Plus lack of inner peace
@@reviewception4328 A lot of the characters in the trilogy don't have that so i didn't feel it was worth mentioning
What about kai?
kung fu panda 2 is severely underrated. Shen is a unbelievably good villain. Even after his horrendous acts and unforgivable nature, you can somehow still sympathize with him. and honestly in the cannon factory scene, thats when shen became the best villain of dreamworks. And when he died, he didn't try to run from the boat when the cannon was falling down on him, he just accepted his death. And the fact he caused mass genocide without thinking twice was absolutely terrifying. he stopped at absolutely nothing to prevent his destiny, and the most terrifying part, shen in a way actually won. he proved the soothsayer wrong when she said shen would be defeated by a warrior of black and white when the cannon fell down on him. it wasn't po who killed shen, it was shen's own creation. man shen gives me chills
Shen haves a great villain appearance because his color (white) symbolizes the death in the Chinese culture. I think he looks more villain in the flashbacks where he was seen with red eyes because sometimes red symbolizes the evil.
I remember watching this film when it was released in the UK when I was a kid. I remember not liking it as much but I completely forgot what happened in it. I just watched it yesterday for the first time in years and damn this is far better than the first one, Gary Oldman’s portrayal of Lord Shen is excellent.
Bro this was so dark it’s not even labeled for TH-cam kids.
The most eviliest Kung Fu Panda Villain so far
Finally, a kun fu panda video with the comments not blocked by youtube kids! Thanks for uploading this

One Often Meets his Destiny On the road he Takes to Avoid it - Master Oogway's Quote
it means that if you avoid something on purpose and tried to take a different option what you tried to avoid will encounter you on the that path and you anyway would have to confront it.
Boss Wolf: It’s almost done, Lord Shen, but we’ve run out of metal.
Shen: Search the farthest villages. Find more metal! China will be mine.

BUNNY CHILD:- And then, the Dragon Warrior joined the Furious Five!
Umm
What an amazing spine chilling start to an amazing movie,
KFP2 will always be my favorite out of the 3, but lets see if the 4th will be able to top it,
Nick Sketch KFP will have six movies though.
Andree Tungcab
I know, what do you want to see in the 4th Film?
Wow. It's that long ago when 4 was announced huh?
It's so poetic that it was not the panda but he himself was that black and white warrior who's ship's mast killed him.
Doesn't this tie up perfectly with what Oogway says in the first movie? "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." That's exactly what happened to Shen as well: his paranoia on wanting to eliminate the pandas only led to the rise of Po, ultimately creating his own demise.
Kung fu panda is one of the few movies for kids that doesen't have musical solo from any character, yet it has a beautiful OST.
Still better than kung fu panda 4
I really do love this intro. Chinese shadow puppets have always fascinated me as an art form, and seeing them used prominently in a big-budget western animated film was really something.
Now all I need is to find an entire movie of the stuff.
Lord Shen is way more scarier and intimidating than Tai lung
I was never expecting to see genocide as a opening to a “children” film
If Shen never continued the dark path, he wouldn't be defeated at all
until Kai leaves Spirit Realm.
What's cool is that the warrior of black and white that was destined to defeat Shen was Shen himself. It was he who caused his own end
Yes, without doubt.
Shen coul have avoided his death, but he accepted it.
He was the warrior in black and white.
I’m honestly kinda sad this film lost the academy award to Rango back then. Rango was good I guess but this film should be considered a masterpiece
One of the greatest opening's of all time
I like how this is not for TH-cam kids
The most evil villain in Kung Fu Panda franchise.
My most favorite lines from shen are "Are you actually believe this is the warrior destined to defeat me?" and when he is practicing his guandao sword skills to meet Po " Greeting panda, at last we meet! Oh no no no no no. We meet at last, yes thats it! Greetings panda, we meet at huee!"
Lord Shen's tower by that Volcano gives off strong dark lord vibes but yeah Lord Shen despite being a Peacock seems more evil and psychotic than a snow Leopard which is astounding in addition to him also being a real personal villain to Po as he is responsible for the genocide of the Pandas and such thus has greater impact on Po's life than the other villains.
In my honest opinion. I love the 2nd and 3rd movie because in the 2nd one Po didn't really thought about his real parents and his people and now thinking he's the only panda left. The 3rd one showed that he wasn't alone, and that there was more pandas and his real father alive. I love every single movie of po because it's well balanced and how it showed how po developed even more from being trained to fight, finally bringing himself peace to himself, and finally knowing he wasn't the last panda
1:59 lord Shen is so intimidating
If only oogway had told shen, “"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it..."
So, shen's prophecy said that he will be defeated by a warrior of black and white,so it could have also meant that he will be defeated by himself since he is also black and white
Umm like if he wanted to destroy all the black and wight then wat bout the zebras
There are zebras in China?
Apparently there are no zebras or penguins in the area.
He forgot about White Tigers
tman57vt
Those too. Haha.
What about skunks
Plot twist: The "warrior of black and white" fortold to defeat Shen was actually supposed to set up a Dreamworks crossover where Shen fought Skipper the penguin and his crew.
Shen definitely ain’t winning (Skipper’s the only organism in the Dreamworks cinematic universe to own the N word pass given by Obama himself, making him the 2nd strongest character in the cinematic universe)
Man, watching Kung Fu Panda 4 in theaters today and watching some videos of previous films. I forgot details of the previous movies.
Tai Lung and Lord Shen are a tie for me for favorite Kung Fu Panda Villains. But if I had to break the tie I’d choose Lord Shen. Stories like these with heroes and villains that have dark personal history especially to this extent are always my favorite.
Fun Fact: Making Shen’s coloration white was a deliberate choice by the producers, as white symbolizes death in Chinese culture.
I love how they portrayed his backstory like shadow puppetry, it's so unique and aesthetically pleasing.
1:31 Tragic backstory aside, that is wallpaper material right there.
What's going to be the beginning of Kung Fu Panda 3?
1st- Po's Dream (2D Cartoon Scene)
2nd- Shen's back story (Shadow Puppet Show)
3rd-?
+Gola245 But how will the story be told through? Scroll Animation? 2D Sequence? Another Shadow Puppet Show?
A battle between Oogway and his brother in arms that turned out to be a power-hungry lunatic.
Santenoturtle the opening of kp3 was badass in the spirit realm
It really isn't about Shen anymore since he's dead and kinda forgotten.
I can imagine why his parents disowned him because he was pure evil
Shen: trying to change his destiny by finding and killing the warrior in back and white
All zebras and penguins within 100km radius: nervous sweating
TBF, if he tried to take out the penguins or zebras, he’d have to deal with either Marty or Rico. Okay, Marty he could handle, but he’d have to get through Rico first.
If you think about it, all of the Kung Fu Panda villains were once pretty chill people, only to be driven mad from greed.
Tai Lung wasn't a villain.
It was Shifu who failed him *!*
It was Shifu who determined Tai Lungs fate. He never teached him to be humble because Shifu wasn't humble himself. He never teached him to accept a defeat, Tai Lung always had to be the best in everything.
Tai Lung didn't accept the apologize because it was already too *late* ,he was damaged. He choosed a path where he couldn't return (he propably murdered people).
Shifu never visited his 'son' in the 20 years where he was rotting in jail. Think about it, it says a lot...
Ngl this whole backstory sequence freaked me out same as the sounf shen makes
I've noticed something..
KFP: Physical
KFP 2: Emotional
KFP 3: Spiritual
You need balance in these 3 things in your life and in your body, otherwise negativities occur. Now that's brilliant thinking!
I love how the intro is in the style of mechanical puppets.
This intro is amazing, because it perfectly establishes how evil Shen is, as well as how much darker this movie is than the first one. Notably, the first movie’s intro is fast paced and goofy, this one is the complete opposite
For my head cannon, they actually did talked to him. Problem was the two were still very doubtful and scared to believe their son could reconsider his motives. Meanwhile, Shen felt he might be doing good with his experiments, that he could bring great power to the city and show all of China why the Peacocks are incredible. And when his parents wanted him to stop his work, (feeling this is not their way of life) he was honestly quite insulted and mad they though little of his wants. Nevertheless, he reluctantly promised, though he was still bitter about it. He always felt they never supported him. So later when he went to the throne room to confront them, hoping to better convince them with a discussion about the actual benefit of his studies; to using fireworks as weapons, the lord was shocked to overhear his parents talking with a prophet about him and his passion as a "dark path". Now in this moment, Shen not only believed his mother and father truly didn’t see him being a noble successor to rule, but the idea of being threaten by some unknown "warrior of Black & White" pushed him to do whatever is necessary to change his fate.
I just realized the parallel between the story of Lord Shen & Po with Lord Voldemort & Harry Potter. Both villains believe a prophesy in which someone is going to overthrow them someday, both villains tried to "destroy" these heroes before they even emerged, and the effort to destroy these heroes are ultimately what drove the heroes to destroy the villains in return. 👏
So glad they got Gary Oldman for Shen. Greatest movie villain of all time.
"You've come to avenge nothing else...?"
"Well, yeah, all the pots and pans that you stole!"
So THAT's why he stole those pots and pans.
It makes no sense why Shen did such a thing on the backs of his own parents.
Well he did something evil killing panda po mom
Kai is my favorite KFP villain, but there is no doubt that Shen is the best one.
Omg 10 years😭

I vaguely remember the premise of this sequel after my memory faded away after all these years, but this prologue really helped me.
Between this, HTTYD 2, and Madagascar 3, Dreamworks seems to enjoy making their sequels darker than the original.
Madagascar 3 wasn't dark
@@lexramstudios1386 near the end of the movie, when they got back at the zoo, the atmosphere is dark with the night, combined with the fact that there were fences with barbed wire. Then DuBois was right there and she had the poison dart ready to kill Alex. It was dark the way she snuck the gun into the pointer was also dark, and the fact that Alex was giving her a clear shot because he realized he lost everything and decided he would rather die than live imprisoned for life. That part seemed pretty dark to me.
