    Fun fact.
    Asian dragons are considered to be a fusion of animals.
    The head of a stag, the mane of a lion/tiger, the body of a snake (or turtle in some iteratioms), the legs of an eagle and the scales of a fish.
    Dragons in asia are literaly a unification of beings.
    Their place in mythogie is also as guardians, both of knowledge and the gods themselves.
    So the dragon style being a combination of all other styles makes perfect sense.
    Just some mythology trivia.

    And what makes this even more poetic is that Po is the one who originally, “accidentally”, assembled the Furious Five without any of them realizing it. It was a self fulfilling prophecy, he set himself up to eventually become the Dragon Warrior. It was always meant to be him.

      Well not Technically true, because in the 3rd film IF this theory was posted BEFORE the film came out is that the real reason why he was chosen NOT because of he was JUST the Dragon Warrior, is because he can use chi since he is a panda and its his destiny to use chi to become the Dragon Warrior which why Oogway chosen Po to be his successor and NOT one of the Furious Five especially Tigress

So, unless the universe is his brain or something then I think he just went with flow and allowed the universe to bring him the proper choice. After all, there are spirits and energies in this universe that could affect the impact.

    I really like the themes of the three Kung Fu panda movies, the first one is about chasing your dream and reaching the goal, Second movie is about some of his Past trauma and that you don't need to be the physical parent to love your child and the third about meeting his real parents and finding the balance + having now a bigger family that cares about him.

      Also, Oogway explicitly stated that the Dragon Warrior was among them after Po catapulted himself sideways to watch the do their demonstration. I'm willing to bet he internally was going "okay, so if he's that willing to go, and he'd land right around the fireworks, I'd put his time until landing at around a minute or two. Just need to grandstand until I hear the fireworks go off, and then I can start in, and then point wherever he lands. Bonus points if he lands in the middle of the square. That'll anger Shifu enough to find peace once he comes to terms with what happens."

    Additionally to his body mass and padding and his combination of the styles of all five masters, he also has a mental aspect that qualifies him above the others, above any other Kung Fu practitioner in that fictional version of China: His attitude to King Fu.
    For everybody else, Kung Fu is a duty and privilege, one that demands absolute discipline and sacrifice. When Po broke into the festival Oogwei has seen his dedication to Kung Fu, to do what it takes to get to the festival. But Po always held Kung Fu as a passion, not a duty. The Furious Five and Master Shifu never actually enjoyed Kung Fu, and neither did Tai Long or Lord Shen or Kai the Destroyer; for them, it was their destiny, their duty, both a privilege and a burden. Long after becoming the dragon warrior, Po still was a total fanboy, doing Kung Fu because of his love and joy for it. I believe, that is the true "future and past of Kung Fu" that Oogwei has seen in him. The love for the art combined with the dedication to effort.

    I mean the third movie quite clearly states that the pandas had the highest levels of chi and well as the greatest potentials so it’s not hard to see why Po was considered the dragon warrior, especially since it was assumed the po was the last of the pandas. It was actually the pandas that taught oogway chi.

      that’s correct. in the story of how the Furious Five came together, Tigress accidentally took the wrong scroll that Shifu gave him. that scroll just so happens to be the one that Po made as he was brain storming ideas of what he wants to become, which comprised of cleaner(Crane), dancer(Viper), comedian(Monkey), and doctor(Mantis).

    I got to learn about the creation of Kung Fu Panda. I want to introduce you guys to Grandmaster Chi-Chung “Simon” Kwong. He is one of the top traditional Chinese masters in North America. I was very lucky to have gotten to train under one of his students. He actually ran a Chinese restaurant for years when my teacher was younger and yes his food is absolutely amazing! Master Simon taught Dragon Tiger Eagle Wushu Kung fu. When talking about yin and Yang it stands for complete opposites and how they are even in the world. Push and pull, good and bad. Po shows he can be both focused and fun, lazy yet a hard worker. He’s a perfect student! Another fun fact! Master Simon’s son actually helped create Kung Fu Panda.

    • @ItIsBeeTime

He broke a metal fold up chair with a flimsy plastic water bottles that come in a pack. He’s a wonderful man and I wanted to let you guys know about him.

Like he said in the boxing example, force is mass x acceleration but we can actually re-position this equation so it’s acceleration is force divided by mass. Therefore, the more mass you have the harder it is to accelerate, a key component of any Solely running based sport.

    I also have a theory (well not actually mine) on why Oogway chooses Po:
    This guy on Tumblr named "Wayttthenerd" explains how in the first movie how Oogway points at Po smiling and says "how interesting" at first you think "strange....but then again though out the movie he keeps saying 'there are no accidents' so that's why he chooses him because he doesn't believe in accidents" and you're half right. But watching the second and third movies, that scene has a WHOLE new different layer.
    After watching the second and third one now you see how Pandas saved Oogway's life and taught him Chi. But also in the second movie lord Shen attacked the panda village and everyone assumed the pandas were wiped out. Po is the only panda anyone has ever seen, and Oogway most likey never seen Po since he always stays at the jade palace. He went decades of never seeing a panda and thought they were extinct.
    So right when Oogway was choosing a dragon warrior a panda, the same species that healed him with Chi and taught him how to use it, the species he thought were wiped out, falls from the sky.
    Right infront of his finger.
    How interesting.

    To future MatPat Jr: They have human teeth bc when animating animals in movies animators give them human lips and human-like faces so you can get more emotion and expression from them compared if you didn't do that. It's very clear when comparing the scene where Mufasa dies in the older one versus the new Lion King movie. The artists sacrifice expression and emotion over realism but it works out for a more enjoyable movie in most cases

    One other bit of minutia which very easily gets overlooked: Po is the ultimate Kung Fu fanboy. When he gets dumped into the Jade Palace, he *INSTANTLY* recognizes every artifact on display - he knows their history, their significance, etc. More subtle yet even more reveling is when Sifu grasps Po with the Wu-Xi Finger Hold; for an instant, Sifu is actually impressed that Po not only recognized such an obscure technique but even knew when it was developed and by whom. Knowledge-wise, Po is already more advanced than any of the Furious Five.
    Two things stand between Po and his already being the Dragon Warrior - physical conditioning and self-confidence. When Sifu recognizes this (as Po is raiding the pantry),he finally understands how to help Po; yet even Sifu's best efforts aren't quite enough. It's only when Mr Ping reveals the secret ingredient of his Secret Ingredient Soup that the last piece of the puzzle falls into place and Po instantly comprehends the true meaning of The Dragon Scroll.
    Which doubles back to the burning question: How did *Oogway* know that Po was the Dragon Warrior?
    Simple. While the Furious Five were busy with their demonstrations and Sifu was preoccupied with emceeing, Oogway (being the chill, hyper-observant Zen master that he is) was the sole witness to Po's determination to get inside. While Oogway had no way of knowing how much Po had studied Kung Fu, he saw Po's dedication and perseverance; where such repeated failure would have broken the Furious Five (and, in particular, Sifu), Po just kept at it no matter what. Notice how the one time Oogway chooses to approach Po is when he's on the verge of giving up - in his own esoteric fashion, Oogway simply persuades Po to set aside his worries and focus on the present; to just keep trying.

    I can answer the third question!
    Why do the animals have human teeth?
    Animators anthropomorphize animals to make them more appealing and relatable to children. Making them walk on two legs, having them eat human foods, or having human emotions and yes, teeth all play into that. It makes the kid imagine themselves inside the movie, fighting all the baddies and saving the day just like our panda warrior :)
