    Badd Medicine here and its Kung Fu Panda reaction time
    Kung Fu Panda 2 is a 2011 American computer-animated martial arts comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film is the sequel to Kung Fu Panda (2008) and the second installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise. It was directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson (in her feature directorial debut) and written by Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger. The film stars Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, James Hong, and Jackie Chan reprising their character roles from the first film, with Gary Oldman, Michelle Yeoh, Danny McBride, Dennis Haysbert, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Victor Garber voicing new characters. In the film, Po and his allies (Tigress, Monkey, Viper, Crane, and Mantis) travel to Gongmen City to stop the evil peacock Lord Shen from conquering China, while also rediscovering Po's forgotten past.
    In "Kung Fu Panda 2," the story unfolds as the peacock rulers of Gongmen City misuse fireworks, turning them into weapons. Their son, Lord Shen, driven by an ominous prophecy, sets out to conquer China with his cannon-armed army. Po, now a Kung Fu Master, and the Furious Five embark on a mission to thwart Shen's plans. Po's past becomes intertwined with Shen's symbol, sparking memories of his biological parents. Despite setbacks and betrayals, Po rediscovers his inner peace and confronts Shen, ultimately defeating him and saving China. The film delves into Po's origins, his struggle for identity, and his journey to embracing his past while forging a new destiny. Amidst explosive battles and emotional revelations, "Kung Fu Panda 2" highlights themes of self-discovery, courage, and the enduring bonds of family and friendship.

      I absolutely love this film, it really meant a lot to me and my family. Because me and my siblings are adopted it was nice to see one way the internal wounds play out as you grow up not knowing where you came from or why your birth parents couldn't keep you. Po's journey to find inner peace and face his past is beautifully done.

    One thing I notice that always stands out to me during the fight in the musicians village is the fact that Po didn’t hesitate for a second to jump off the cliff to save the villager trapped in the bell. He had no safety plan, he just jumped to save someone and had the utmost trust and faith that the furious five would help him. As goofy as Po is, it really shows his true character and how much his relationship with the five has grown since the first movie.

    6:05 This is an often unappreciated little thing. He says free Tofu dessert. In the first movie in his first scene he mentions that as a young man he dreamed of going off to learn how to make Tofu but gave up on it as a "silly dream"
    It likely means that now, inspired by his son fulfilling his dream of learning Kung-Fu he too decided to give fulfilling his dream of... making Tofu a chance at coming through.
    Just a neat little detail many miss and took me three marathons to catch.

    I remember there being quite the existential discussion about fate when this first came out because Shen is in fact a black and white warrior himself, so to whom was the prophecy actually referring? It didn't specifically say anything about a panda, that was an assumption on Shen's part that ultimately lead to his own downfall.

So far many, incluyding me, thinks this is the best of the trilogy and can't wait to see the four.
    Ohh and interesting fact: According to the director, Shen proved to be a great challenge to animate, so much that the complexity of the character was like that of doing six characters all at once. Also There is a debate on whether Shen or Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is the better (and best) Dreamworks villain.

    Something that is covered in the specials that came out with these movies when the released on DVD is the backstories of the Five.
    Tigeress is the one that is able to relate to Po the most becuase she to is an orphan.
    Spoilers!
    But unlike Po, she did not find that happy family. Everyone at the orphanage was afread of her becuase she struggled to control her strength. They eventually got Shifu to come and train her, and they ended up bonding. And eventually he brought her to the Jade Palace.
    It is not stated, but more implyed in my opinion that he brought her to the palace shortly before Tai Lung's betrayal. Which makes the flash back with her as a cub in the first movie even more heartbreaking, becuase she almost had that happy family. But it was stolen from her. Which also explains why she more then anybody else wants o be the Dragon Warrior and take Tai Lung down.

If they had showed us only in the third movie that the pandas were alive it would make a lot of the scenes in this movie feel like they take away the impact, It's in the same movie that they told us that they're all wiped out, that they are still there, it shows they had thought for a third movie and wanted to leave a fun little surprise

    There was a comment I read online that summarized the trilogy by what kinds of challenges Po had to face. The 1st movie was about physical challenges, 2nd movie was about mental challenges, 3rd movie was about spiritual challenges. The challenges are illustrated by the villains and their strengths: Tai Lung (physical strength), Lord Shen (mental strength), and General Kai (spiritual strength).
    Like most people, my favorite in the trilogy is the 2nd movie. I have also learned that there is a 4th movie! I can't wait to see it.

    In this case Shen thought it was a panda that was going to stop him, and yeah Po did. But ultimately it was really himself that would be his actual undoing - a warrior of black and white, as in someone who only saw in black and white.

    I feel like the”twist” is probably the realization that Shen is also black and white and it’s really his resistance to letting go of the past and finding his “inner peace” that ultimately leads to his own destruction. IMO the prophecy was about Shen himself and was self-fulfilling.
    I also think that the prophesy about a creature of black and white could be a double-entendre, signifying a creature who’s beliefs are very black and white. To see things in black and white means to think in absolutes which I think perfectly describes Shen.

    @Pallamut 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    We start off with genocide, shen being disowned by his parents and po having his own identity crisis... just standard lighthearted family movie topics.
    They really nailed the balance, I could easily see the movie turning out as a shallow action sequel with an unserious tone making whatever plot voided.
    Turns out a strong directorial vision does wonders for a movie

    • @jollyquinn430
      @jollyquinn430 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Pallamut I mean nowadays it is standard for family movie topics.
      I love that they don't underestimate children.
      And there are so many family movies with heavy topics. And they're all great.
      I mean identity crises is something we have in most family movies. Lion king, how to train your dragon, Frozen, Little Mermaid, Brave, the Jack Frost movie, Encanto, Moana (or so I heard. Haven't watched that), Nightmare before Christmas, the list goes on. I feel like it's in almost every movie.

  • @linagallo9434
    @linagallo9434 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +58

    After reviewing your opinion, I believe there are a few missing points. Unlike the first movie, this sequel doesn't solely rely on fun and goofiness. While the first film emphasizes physical strength and warrior training, the second film's main focus is on the mind and trauma. These two points connect the protagonist and the villain, as they both struggle with their inner selves and acceptance of the past. This shift in focus makes the film relatable mainly to adults, who can understand, like Po, the importance of overcoming obstacles and personal growth to shape their identity.
    In both of these characters, Kung Fu Panda 2 slyly paints different portraits on how to respond to the loss of one’s family. Do you become so obsessed with the past that you begin to hurt others like Shen? Even Po finds himself too enamored with the past at the expense of his friends in the present. This is made apparent when Po’s rogue mission to get answers from Shen ends up jeopardizing the Furious Five’s separate attempt to take down the villain. In Kung Fu Panda 2, we see how trauma affects people differently and how the past can hauntingly linger well into the present.
    Regarding the sidekicks, they aren't meant to be intimidating like Tai Lung, driven by rage and vengeance. The wolves serve as Shen's force, devoid of personal thoughts or feelings, merely following their leader's power. Towards the end, one wolf rebels against Shen but is swiftly killed, highlighting their role as mere instruments.
    Part my opinion, part internet's opinions on this matter jajaja.

    So glad you reacted to KFP2, out of the trilogy this one is probably my favorite! I just love how it delves into his backstory, how we get to see the Furious Five more, interactions between Po and Tigress, as well as the more serious tone of the movie. I remember playing this movie so much on my dvd player growing up

  • @Celestial26
    @Celestial26 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I like this one the best of the trilogy. I enjoy the villain much more than in the first. His design, actions, and fighting style in particular are much more interesting. We see Po go through a struggle with past trauma and his identity and come out with super sick kung fu skills. We also get to see how his relationship has grown with the five and see Tigress open up more. I’d like to see more about the five in the movies, but overall I enjoy their cooperative fighting dynamic.

    @Drake844221 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    So, Po's journey is one that has been very significant for me on a personal level. Self-actualization is, to a large degree, a huge part of my own journey. But, one of the details that I find interesting is that, in his last moments, when he's finally asserted what it is he's choosing, Lord Shen fundamentally kills himself... and in that last instant as the cannon is coming down on top of him, you see that he has achieved his state of peace. I think that at this point, peace was only possible for him by letting go of his life, which had been so warped and twisted by the belief that he had only one path open to him... that once he realized that he could have some freedom, the freedom he chose was to end the struggle. Such an interesting villain all around with a masterful performance from Gary Oldman.

  • @JesseNightingale
    @JesseNightingale 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The reason why Tigress hugs po is cause she's an orphan that Shifu saw great potential in as a cub because when she would try and play with the other orphans she would be to rough with them because she couldn't control her strength. The rough playing got to a point people were calling her a demon and the Orphanage leader called for Shifu to destroy the demon

    Fun fact! And please correct me if I'm wrong. But I heard on a behind the scenes/commentary that when Gary Oldman was recording for Lord Shen in the part with the canon he accidentally says, "light the damn thing" or "light the f**king thing" forgetting that he was recording for a kids film. But the way he said it was so good that they ended up leaving it in but editing out the swear. So that's why there's a weird pause when Shen is speaking.

  • @Jefrma
    @Jefrma หลายเดือนก่อน

    Shen calmly closing his eyes as his unavoidable death was falling on top of him as he didn't made the slightest hesitant attempt to run from under it, was kind of sweet. His scars had never healed,most likely they burned even more than years before and he was welcoming death as an escape from having to face his great failure. I bet he would've been able to escape prison if he survived,but he simply didn't want to live.
    Can somebody recommend a good long fanfiction that focuses on Shen's life before this movie? I suddenly got a craving🤓

    I really like all these three villain because they are all connected with po as Oogway was the person to choose po as the dragon warrior, Master shifu adopted son is the first enemy to po and then shen is the connection to po past which all three villain are connect to po.

    I think personally this one is my favorite. But I still think highly of all 3 movies so far. Comparing to How to Train your Dragon I'd say the Pandaverse is definitely more for the younger kids, HTTYD is more for teens so the more emotional heavy scenes fits better. Kung fu Panda seeks to bring lessons, wholesomeness, and cool stuff to kids on their level. This movie dealt with what appeared to be Panda genocide at first with Po losing his parents, so it still had heavy themes, but I think they kept it as light as possible for the kids. Over all both series are amazing, I can't wait for you to see the next movie!
