This first one is my favorite, but the entire trilogy is a masterpiece. There's also some short films you should watch. Here's two I recommend. They both take place after the first movie. First, Secrets of the Furious Five. Po tells a group of young students the backstories of the Furious Five before they were brought together. This one you should save for the year-end holiday season: Kung Fu Panda holiday.
The phrase at the end of the training montage "I'm not hungry" signified that he found some measure of peace and pride in himself. He eats when he is upset, he is no longer upset.
I really loved when Po said "I'm not a big fat panda, I'm THE big fat panda". He been called as a big fat panda all movie long. People think of him as a joke. Even he also admit that he think tortured up there is better than living as himself. But, then the secret recipe is just to believe in yourself. And when he said this, it's like him owning everything he was insecure about. Such good movie with good writing and good message.
I love Po's face right as he is being called "nothing but a big fat panda" . he goes from opened eyed, mouth open to a deadpan grimace with half closed mean glancing eyes at 23:43 .
It seems like oogway is leaving right as things are getting bad. Some might say it’s him being scared or something. But really it was a selfless act. He could easily stop TaiLung, but it’s only through his absence that shifu is able to accept Po and eventually po is able to become the dragon warrior. Remember, there are no accidents.
Notice that when Tai Lung looked at the scroll and saw it was blank, it cut to him looking at his own reflection when he said “it’s nothing.” That’s actually a pretty depressing little detail
21:53 The real secret of the scroll was to teach it's reader that they were already good enough. You're only allowed to read the scroll if the Master decides you've trained enough to be worthy. Po is arguably the greatest Kung Fu Warrior in the movie, after his training montage, and then reads the Scroll expecting it to make him *better* when the qualification required to read the scroll is to *be the best* at Kung Fu.
Tai Lung was still better in Kung Fu, Shi-Fu too. But they both have issues that blocked them to fight at full potential. Tigress can also beat Po in 1v1.
"What kind of magic is that?" Pressure points-there are nerve clusters that will put certain body parts out of action. Ever hit your "funny bone"? (nerve cluster above the elbow). It's not the only nerve cluster. There is another in the back, if hit just right, will make you wish you were never born.
@@SophieLents it’s actually foreshadowed earlier in the movie too when mantis is trying to do acupuncture on Po and he can’t actually find the right spots (if you look at the chart he’s using he literally just drew a panda on top of the picture of a tiger which is really funny) which is why it didn’t work on Po
That's why bigger people are stronger as well.Bigger punches hit at more surface area and are more likely to hit those nerves😆🔫😆 But obviously nobody is stronger than bullets😆🔫😆
@@stutterysteamerproductions875 1) I only accidentally learned of it's location after 2 years in martial arts because the "senior Q" tried to use it to cripple me. He was banned for life from the dojo for doing that. 2) Because I took a vow of Bushido I would not reveal it to someone else unless they undertook the commensurate (Brown Belt) training at a dojo with a sensei that is "Kodokan" trained (the Kodokan is to martial arts as Oxford is to higher education). I'm not trying to be cute or obtuse, I am simply not going to give out lethal information to someone unless they fully understand ALL of it's implications. You have to take the journey first. You can't be given the ending before you take the first step.
When it comes to the furious five bullying Po, the way I see it was the fact that these warriors trained their entire lives, shedding blood, sweat, and tears to be where they are, only to have some random, over weight fan boy take their place. I love Po and it sucks to watch everyone talk about him so badly, but at the same time there are valid reasons for the masters to hate him.
Yeah. Like, he's actual a prodigy at Kung Fu - it's like Ratatoille, not everyone can be a master but a master can come from anywhere - but they have no way to know that.
And most times they live and grow at the monasteries never returning home even if they have one. So either all of them were orphans or they’ve given up their family to train as protectors either way to them Po is also someone barging into their family.
When Oogway says “one often meets his fate on the road he takes to avoid it”, it sets up a theme for the rest of this movie as well as the other two. A prime example being Tai Lung’s escape. If Shifu hadn’t sent the messenger, Tai Lung would never have gotten the feather that he unlocked himself with. You might have also noticed that everything the guards did to slow him down only helped him escape, like shooting crossbows that ended up breaking his cuffs. It’s subtle, but the theme is very prominent in all of the movies
"One meets his destiny on the path he avoids" If Shifu hadn't been so paranoid and sent the duck, Tai Lung wouldn't have gotten the feather and escaped....
@@thechh8297 It's my Head cannon that The octagon Full of candels was the universe's test to him. If he could wait for oogway to put down all the flames, when the prediction was delivered there would be no worries from shifu's part, he would have confidence and patience to deal with tai lung, maybe even free tai lung himself. Shifu's lack of inner peace IS what caused the profecy to turn that way.
Tai Lung is a great character, he gave me a lot of sadness in his story, since he was a child he was always raised with the aim of being the dragon warrior, that is, when they denied him that title, what did the effort since his only goal was denied, at that time he felt that his life had no meaning
Tai lung was raised with the promiss of greatness, not the dragon scroll. But for Tai Lung the dragonscroll was the ultimate sign and title of greatness. Shifu never tried to teach him that the scroll is not the only way to be great, nor should it be the reason for becoming or even being great. And that was the ultimate fualt of Shifu that he himself never really learned from or recovered from untill he trained po.
I say 1st is best because it is a perfect example of what pressure put on your shoulders by your parents can get to much and that is what made Tai lung who he is and ultimately pushed Po away from noodles to him as the dragon warrior
You can kind of understand Tai lung. Imagine you are raised your whole life being told you're destined for greatness, making this your Dream and then someone turns him down for something which isn't true. Tai lung just became evil because of what oogway did

No joke, when this movie was seen by China they were like "How is it that americans are doing movies about our culture and philosophies better than ourselves?" and that's one of the reasons that inspired the following generations of chinese animators.
It's funny how, when we talk about animated movies the first studios that come to mind are Disney and Pixar. But still the animated series that are considered Masterpieces like the 'KungFu Panda trilogy' and the 'How to Train your Dragon trilogy' are from DreamWorks!
Uguay DIED, he didn't run away. He sacrificed himself because he knew that Shifu and Po could never achieve their inner peace and become the people they're meant to be if Uguay was there to solve their problems. He's proven immediately correct because the first thing everybody says that Uguay will save them.
Just found your channel and just wanna share that TaiLung is just a tragic character who was manifested to be a villain, Oogway and Shifu is the reason for him going the dark path, he just wanted to be appreciated and all he did was train and work hard for Shifu. The scroll will make sense of every hardship he's been through is where his mind is.
“One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.” The only reason tai lung escaped was because master shifu sent that messenger bird to make sure he was locked up.
Fun fact: Red Pandas (Master Shifu) are the only real living pandas, being the first described pandas to exist and also the only species left due to others becoming extinct. Giant Pandas/Panda Bears (Like Po) are actually bears that developed wrists like Red Pandas and only became more popular because they are fat, lazy, clumsy, fluffy, and cute. However, Giant Pandas are terrible at being bears, because they still have carnivore digestive systems, and actively nerf themselves by eating bamboo. Po actually eats bean buns and stuff which actually gives him more protein that he would need logically to be stronger than other pandas... At least scientifically. Movie wise it is just plot and training.
13:03 the BEST lines EVER n that was literally my reaction too! That was simply AMAZING! What i loved bout Kung Fu Panda was, it started off really strong in the 1st movie n that is important. The storyline n the characters build up was amazing. For example Tigress, frm dislikeable to a likeable character.(aft seeing her backstory) Tai Lung is my favourite antagonist. He's super cool n "calm" but deadly n YET he's no match for Po due to his(Po) unorthodox fighting style😆 this movie is just full of actions, emotions, great lines n messages! Master Oogway was the mastermind!💪 N im super happy that u reacted to it so quickly!😇 SUPER EXCITED for the whole franchise as i LOVE all 3 of them!❤ Im really sry for the late comments..just finished cleaning the whole mess in my house aft my bathrooms renovation n watching ur vids rite aft🙏 THNK U as ALWAYS for ur AMAZING upload/commentary/reaction Ms Sophie n SKADOOSH!👌💫
Hands down, one of the best animated movies out there! I didn’t expect to like it so much but here I am 😂 they somehow managed to squeeze in so much character development without focusing on one specific character which is amazing! So yeah, I agree with everything you said! P.S. you don’t have to apologize for your “late comment”, come on! Thanks for watching ❤️
Kung Fu Panda is one of the best animated and martial arts movies ever created. It was such an awesome way to introduce my nieces and nephews to the martial art genre. The youngest especially got into it and loves the Shaw Brothers flicks because this movie was the catalyst.
I know we all hate Tai Lung but I actually feel very sorry for him. Stay with me, he was abandoned by his parents so he already felt unwanted and like he was worthless and the one person who actually wanted him told him the path to be worth something by being the best at king fu, the dragon warrior, told him no you won’t be even though you worked so hard you will never be worth anything. Boom right back to being abandoned all over again.
This is awesome. What a goated franchise. Ima need that Kung fu panda 2 reaction stat that will make you cry. It gets a lot more epic and dark. The second one is probably my favorite
One of the best part about Po is, he is the total fanboy, and no matter how much he struggles, or no matter how good and powerful he gets, he always remains a fanboy. For Shifu and the Furious Five, Kung Fu is a sacred duty, for Po it is and remains a passion.
Shifu is ( somehow) a red panda Funfact Red pandas aren't actually pandas or even bears, scientists used to think they're in the racoon family until they found out that it was false, they're a unique animal family of 1 specie, translation: they're not related to any other animal
I actually really, really like Kungfu panda and I think Tai Lung is the best villain in the trilogy. Think about this: Think about if you were raised your entire life with ONE goal, one purpose and your caregiver/parent hammered into your head *constantly* that all that training and pain was what you NEEDED to do to achieve said goal and at the end of the day when it finally comes time to achieve that goal, someone else pops up and says "no, you're not worthy" and your caregiver/parent just agrees with them and doesn't even TRY to argue on your behalf. I have no doubt that Shifu told Tai Lung repeatedly that he WOULD be the Dragon warrior. Would he have used that power as Dragon warrior to do bad things? Maybe, but he's not really a villain in my eyes. He's someone who was taught his whole life that his only purpose was to be the Dragon warrior and that was stripped from him, and he was imprisoned. OF COURSE he's an angry kitty lol.
Same here man, I also think he is the best villain, he is the only villain you could sympathy for. As for shen I do think he is a better villain for po since he's related alot to po's past but I still like tai lung more, I don't sympathy for shen because of what he did to the panda village and killed pos mother.
After and during the first night,you can see the five warming up to him in various degrees. Crane tried to be nice,viper apologized for beating him so bad and nonverbally scolded mantis for the bouncing comment, and monkey...monkey and po we're fighting with staffs,and monkey hit his staff a couple times to help him feel like he blocked a couple.
Got exited while writing, sorry for the long comment :) I really love this movie. The message, the animation, the characters. To me the message is a message not of believing in yourself, but of acceptance. From the start the 5 didn't accept Po for who he was, to them it wasn't enough. Shifu when first trying to train him didn't account for who he was, he just utilized the ways of teaching the others and applied to him, and got frustrated when it didn't work. We discover later on that Po even didn't accept himself, he wanted to change, and believed Shifu could change him. Oogway was so wise because of that knowledge, he only saw Po for who he was, never for who he should or could become. The same way, Shifu was only able to teach Po when he understood him and used how he really was to teach him. And that culminates in the final message I believe, that is no secret. You don't need to do anything, or become something else. Only being you is enough. That's my interpretation, what you called an accident in the end to me was just part of his intrinsic value showing in a more material way. Another small thing, what you called magic I think is intended to be Chi manipulation, but don't quote me on that, not 100% sure.
Shifu is a red panda but he's not really a panda or even related to pandas, scientists used to think red pandas were in the racoon family until they found out red pandas are only related to other red pandas
Never seen video about it in english, but in russian we have a few ones about Tai-Lung's tragedy: He was trained his whole life in some kind of martial arts cult (think of it: kung-fu masters are demigods here and unbreakable authorities, especially Ugwei who is someone like a prophet), Shi-Fu gave him nothing except his fighting skills and determination to be a best for his father (for ego as well, but mostly for Shi-Fu). And what happened after tens of years of bloody trainings with no excuses? Crazy old turtle saw something bad in his heart (actually, what? Rage? Aggression? Pride? Ambition? Never told about it. And I don't believe that Tai-Lung wouldn't try to achieve some sort of inner piece if he was told to reach that goal to eradicate that darkness from his heart and become a true Dragon Warrior) and destroy his whole life like nothing. I believe that Tai-Lung could handle it, but only with support from his father - the only one and the most important person in his whole life. But Shi-Fu betray him as well and the whole world around Tai-Lung was okay with that shit. P.S. The whole fight beetwen Tai-Lung and Po was complietly screwed up. As we see in this movie and in the sequel as well, Po didn't reach his limits and in some cases was weaker then Tigress or Shi-Fu. At the same time, Tai-Lung is an ultimate war-machine, who can be stopped only by Ugwei.
The Kung Fu Panda trilogy was made as a love letter to the old Chinese Kung Fu and Wire-Fu movies and the Chinese party was really pissed that it was not made in/by China because it is a much more "quintessentially Chinese" movie trilogy than anything the Chinese movie industry was producing in recent decades.
I dont know if you commented this on the video or if someone already commented this but I really like how Oogway told Shifu that sometimes you bring the future closer when you are trying to stop it, and then right after Tai Lung escapes because Shifu sent in a messenger to double the prison guard
"I stayed because everytime you threw a brick at my head or said I smelled, it hurt. But it could never hurt more than it did everyday of my life just being me." That's the best line throughout the movie in my opinion!
The true meaning of The Dragon Scroll is that you don’t need to anything to be special, as long you believe your special then everyone will believe your special.
11:16 On this shot, You'll eventually see how the Furious Five we're trying to help po but immediately got stopped by shifu, Kinda sweet but Also sad cause they we're somehow forced to be cold towards Po but they did have a care towards him, As for tigress she doesn't seem too bothered that she wasn't the chosen Dragon warrior, I don't think she wanted this in the first place
He didnt defeat tailung by accident, nothing was an accident! U will see later in films too, if u look over the last fight almost every move he did can u find before in the movie, for example when Po hit him backtoback in the end right before the " wo shi finger hold" did he for instance use the oponents weaknesses (tailungs) and Po's own strength againsed them or tailung in this case just like shifu told him before in the film. Its a really cool scene, everything is really well planed out. All the movies are much greater than they first seem! Its soo much more details when u look in too it abit more.
To be fair, people need to really put into perspective that these literal masters trained vigorously for over 20+ years of your fricken LIFE, and the one who got picked to be the ultimate dragon warrior kung fu master...was fat guy fanboy with probably cheeto dust and action figures and doesn't even know how to do kung fu AT ALL who randomly fell from the sky cause he strapped fireworks to a dang chair!! (And it's implied people have trained YEARS to be dragon warrior, and someone who didn't know kung fu got the role you are supposed to train for, anyone would be mad) If you really look at it, you'd be pissed to if you trained for 20 years and some amateur newbie got a GIANT promotion you could only dream of for no reason other then "destiny", you'd be pissed! I know he's our protagonist, but y'all can't just act like you totally wouldn't act like the furious five towards someone you saw as a neck beard fanboy who got lucky because of his stupidity, i.e strapping himself to a firework chair...
The whole... message of self-actualization in this movie is what makes the entire series so powerful for me. Don't get me wrong, How to Train Your Dragon is a much more epic series, but this is really one that resonates with me on a very personal level. Especially being someone who is on the bigger side, and... feeling generally disrespected and dismissed by a lot of people that I should have been able to trust to actually support me for who I am. Self-knowledge and self-respect are very powerful forces, and the more you can embrace them, the more powerful you really do become in life.
It's really sad that,if shifu had visited tai lung in prison,and maybe apologized,tai lung could've turned out better. You can see the emotions running through his face,that apology meant something to him,even if he denied it. But the problem is, tai lung spent 20 years,in solitary confinement, in a straightjacket SO restrictive ,he couldn't even take a full breath,that was shown in one of the stages of unlocking. He spent 20 years in his own head with nothing to do but stew in his hatred of those he felt responsible,sifu and oogway.
9:55 Calling a fat, unhealthy person "fat" is not rude. Its reality check. XD Po did not get offended, rectified his ways and became fit later. That's why he is the Dragon Warrior.
Tai lung isn't a piece of shit. I believe people when they say it was bad parenting.. He's probably my favorite character out of the trilogy. The real dragon warrior 🔥
13:05 I was watching this video right after making a big mistake and hearing this lifted my spirits right up. So I made a mistake big deal it happens to everyone. It’s in the past now. There’s nothing I can do about it, so no use in wallowing over it.
Definitely watch the entire trilogy; they're different but all good in different ways. Then, you simply must watch How to Train Your Dragon. I suspect you'll love it. :)
16:54-17:00 well I mean if Oogway had stayed and defeat Tai Lung then there would be no dragon warrior to carry on the peace since Oogway could not have been there forever
4:13 Oogway saying that is foreshadowing Tai breaking out because Shifu tried to avoid fighting Tai by sending out that dude but his feather was the cause of Tai breaking out
In a way, Shifu was somewhat to blame, since since he was a child he filled him with dreams with the idea that he would be the dragon warrior, he made him train until he broke his bones so that in the end he would say no, he should not have given him hope.
Agreed, like I still think there some other good DreamWorks movies but, the Kung fu panda trilogy and the how to train your dragon trilogy are the best in my opinion. Hell I'm pretty sure an there's gonna be a kung fu panda 4 in 2024.
@@ambersimon9659 ok there are many others like Spirit, Simbad, and the new puss in boots. But when it comes to trilogies those two are amazing start to end.

Just found your channel and just wanna share that TaiLung is just a tragic character who was manifested to be a villain, Oogway and Shifu is the reason for him going the dark path, he just wanted to be appreciated and all he did was train and work hard for Shifu. The scroll will make sense of every hardship he's been through is where his mind is.
“One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.” The only reason tai lung escaped was because master shifu sent that messenger bird to make sure he was locked up.
Underrated comment
Also everything the guards do to try and stop him only helps him break out faster.
I would love to see your reaction to the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy...
It’s probably next on my list :)
Fun fact: Red Pandas (Master Shifu) are the only real living pandas, being the first described pandas to exist and also the only species left due to others becoming extinct. Giant Pandas/Panda Bears (Like Po) are actually bears that developed wrists like Red Pandas and only became more popular because they are fat, lazy, clumsy, fluffy, and cute. However, Giant Pandas are terrible at being bears, because they still have carnivore digestive systems, and actively nerf themselves by eating bamboo. Po actually eats bean buns and stuff which actually gives him more protein that he would need logically to be stronger than other pandas... At least scientifically. Movie wise it is just plot and training.
13:03 the BEST lines EVER n that was literally my reaction too! That was simply AMAZING! What i loved bout Kung Fu Panda was, it started off really strong in the 1st movie n that is important. The storyline n the characters build up was amazing. For example Tigress, frm dislikeable to a likeable character.(aft seeing her backstory) Tai Lung is my favourite antagonist. He's super cool n "calm" but deadly n YET he's no match for Po due to his(Po) unorthodox fighting style😆 this movie is just full of actions, emotions, great lines n messages! Master Oogway was the mastermind!💪 N im super happy that u reacted to it so quickly!😇 SUPER EXCITED for the whole franchise as i LOVE all 3 of them!❤ Im really sry for the late comments..just finished cleaning the whole mess in my house aft my bathrooms renovation n watching ur vids rite aft🙏 THNK U as ALWAYS for ur AMAZING upload/commentary/reaction Ms Sophie n SKADOOSH!👌💫
Hands down, one of the best animated movies out there! I didn’t expect to like it so much but here I am 😂 they somehow managed to squeeze in so much character development without focusing on one specific character which is amazing! So yeah, I agree with everything you said!
P.S. you don’t have to apologize for your “late comment”, come on! Thanks for watching ❤️
Kung Fu Panda is one of the best animated and martial arts movies ever created. It was such an awesome way to introduce my nieces and nephews to the martial art genre. The youngest especially got into it and loves the Shaw Brothers flicks because this movie was the catalyst.
24:38 "I haven't slept in hours." That's literally me every workday.
I know we all hate Tai Lung but I actually feel very sorry for him. Stay with me, he was abandoned by his parents so he already felt unwanted and like he was worthless and the one person who actually wanted him told him the path to be worth something by being the best at king fu, the dragon warrior, told him no you won’t be even though you worked so hard you will never be worth anything. Boom right back to being abandoned all over again.
No one is going to cancel you, Shifu is very cute.
This is awesome. What a goated franchise. Ima need that Kung fu panda 2 reaction stat that will make you cry. It gets a lot more epic and dark. The second one is probably my favorite
I think Kung fu panda 2 is gonna be my next video 😉
One of the best part about Po is, he is the total fanboy, and no matter how much he struggles, or no matter how good and powerful he gets, he always remains a fanboy. For Shifu and the Furious Five, Kung Fu is a sacred duty, for Po it is and remains a passion.
Shifu is ( somehow) a red panda
Funfact
Red pandas aren't actually pandas or even bears, scientists used to think they're in the racoon family until they found out that it was false, they're a unique animal family of 1 specie, translation: they're not related to any other animal
It's actually the nerve attack known only to tai lung , shifu and oogway... Loved ur reaction 🙂
I actually really, really like Kungfu panda and I think Tai Lung is the best villain in the trilogy.
Think about this: Think about if you were raised your entire life with ONE goal, one purpose and your caregiver/parent hammered into your head *constantly* that all that training and pain was what you NEEDED to do to achieve said goal and at the end of the day when it finally comes time to achieve that goal, someone else pops up and says "no, you're not worthy" and your caregiver/parent just agrees with them and doesn't even TRY to argue on your behalf.
I have no doubt that Shifu told Tai Lung repeatedly that he WOULD be the Dragon warrior. Would he have used that power as Dragon warrior to do bad things? Maybe, but he's not really a villain in my eyes. He's someone who was taught his whole life that his only purpose was to be the Dragon warrior and that was stripped from him, and he was imprisoned. OF COURSE he's an angry kitty lol.
Same here man, I also think he is the best villain, he is the only villain you could sympathy for. As for shen I do think he is a better villain for po since he's related alot to po's past but I still like tai lung more, I don't sympathy for shen because of what he did to the panda village and killed pos mother.
“I had no idea this animal existed”
Mei: *allow me to introduce myself*
After and during the first night,you can see the five warming up to him in various degrees. Crane tried to be nice,viper apologized for beating him so bad and nonverbally scolded mantis for the bouncing comment, and monkey...monkey and po we're fighting with staffs,and monkey hit his staff a couple times to help him feel like he blocked a couple.
Got exited while writing, sorry for the long comment :)
I really love this movie. The message, the animation, the characters.
To me the message is a message not of believing in yourself, but of acceptance.
From the start the 5 didn't accept Po for who he was, to them it wasn't enough.
Shifu when first trying to train him didn't account for who he was, he just utilized the ways of teaching the others and applied to him, and got frustrated when it didn't work.
We discover later on that Po even didn't accept himself, he wanted to change, and believed Shifu could change him.
Oogway was so wise because of that knowledge, he only saw Po for who he was, never for who he should or could become.
The same way, Shifu was only able to teach Po when he understood him and used how he really was to teach him.
And that culminates in the final message I believe, that is no secret. You don't need to do anything, or become something else. Only being you is enough.
That's my interpretation, what you called an accident in the end to me was just part of his intrinsic value showing in a more material way.
Another small thing, what you called magic I think is intended to be Chi manipulation, but don't quote me on that, not 100% sure.
You summed up basically what I couldn’t put into words while filming cause I was way too excited haha
I agree with everything you said!
How can you not know red pandas? There are some of the cutest animals existing.
Took her literally 2 seconds to see Po was "adopted". But it took Po himself like years lmao.
Shifu is a red panda but he's not really a panda or even related to pandas, scientists used to think red pandas were in the racoon family until they found out red pandas are only related to other red pandas
Never seen video about it in english, but in russian we have a few ones about Tai-Lung's tragedy:
He was trained his whole life in some kind of martial arts cult (think of it: kung-fu masters are demigods here and unbreakable authorities, especially Ugwei who is someone like a prophet), Shi-Fu gave him nothing except his fighting skills and determination to be a best for his father (for ego as well, but mostly for Shi-Fu). And what happened after tens of years of bloody trainings with no excuses? Crazy old turtle saw something bad in his heart (actually, what? Rage? Aggression? Pride? Ambition? Never told about it. And I don't believe that Tai-Lung wouldn't try to achieve some sort of inner piece if he was told to reach that goal to eradicate that darkness from his heart and become a true Dragon Warrior) and destroy his whole life like nothing.
I believe that Tai-Lung could handle it, but only with support from his father - the only one and the most important person in his whole life. But Shi-Fu betray him as well and the whole world around Tai-Lung was okay with that shit.
P.S. The whole fight beetwen Tai-Lung and Po was complietly screwed up. As we see in this movie and in the sequel as well, Po didn't reach his limits and in some cases was weaker then Tigress or Shi-Fu. At the same time, Tai-Lung is an ultimate war-machine, who can be stopped only by Ugwei.
The Kung Fu Panda trilogy was made as a love letter to the old Chinese Kung Fu and Wire-Fu movies and the Chinese party was really pissed that it was not made in/by China because it is a much more "quintessentially Chinese" movie trilogy than anything the Chinese movie industry was producing in recent decades.
I dont know if you commented this on the video or if someone already commented this but I really like how Oogway told Shifu that sometimes you bring the future closer when you are trying to stop it, and then right after Tai Lung escapes because Shifu sent in a messenger to double the prison guard
"I stayed because everytime you threw a brick at my head or said I smelled, it hurt. But it could never hurt more than it did everyday of my life just being me." That's the best line throughout the movie in my opinion!
Great reaction. Looking forward to watching your reaction on the trilogy. Hopefully you will find answers to a lot of questions.
The true meaning of The Dragon Scroll is that you don’t need to anything to be special, as long you believe your special then everyone will believe your special.
11:16 On this shot, You'll eventually see how the Furious Five we're trying to help po but immediately got stopped by shifu, Kinda sweet but Also sad cause they we're somehow forced to be cold towards Po but they did have a care towards him, As for tigress she doesn't seem too bothered that she wasn't the chosen Dragon warrior, I don't think she wanted this in the first place
He didnt defeat tailung by accident, nothing was an accident! U will see later in films too, if u look over the last fight almost every move he did can u find before in the movie, for example when Po hit him backtoback in the end right before the " wo shi finger hold" did he for instance use the oponents weaknesses (tailungs) and Po's own strength againsed them or tailung in this case just like shifu told him before in the film. Its a really cool scene, everything is really well planed out. All the movies are much greater than they first seem! Its soo much more details when u look in too it abit more.
This kids movie franchise had NO business being this absolutely incredible and deep!!!
To be fair, people need to really put into perspective that these literal masters trained vigorously for over 20+ years of your fricken LIFE, and the one who got picked to be the ultimate dragon warrior kung fu master...was fat guy fanboy with probably cheeto dust and action figures and doesn't even know how to do kung fu AT ALL who randomly fell from the sky cause he strapped fireworks to a dang chair!! (And it's implied people have trained YEARS to be dragon warrior, and someone who didn't know kung fu got the role you are supposed to train for, anyone would be mad) If you really look at it, you'd be pissed to if you trained for 20 years and some amateur newbie got a GIANT promotion you could only dream of for no reason other then "destiny", you'd be pissed! I know he's our protagonist, but y'all can't just act like you totally wouldn't act like the furious five towards someone you saw as a neck beard fanboy who got lucky because of his stupidity, i.e strapping himself to a firework chair...
I loved this movie as a kid. I remembered about the entire script. And I still didn’t like how they treated him
Shifu is a red panda
Your reaction at the climax was just GOLD! XD
You should never give your child a destiny because their already perfect and can make their own path.
The whole... message of self-actualization in this movie is what makes the entire series so powerful for me. Don't get me wrong, How to Train Your Dragon is a much more epic series, but this is really one that resonates with me on a very personal level. Especially being someone who is on the bigger side, and... feeling generally disrespected and dismissed by a lot of people that I should have been able to trust to actually support me for who I am. Self-knowledge and self-respect are very powerful forces, and the more you can embrace them, the more powerful you really do become in life.
12:57 now YOU'RE the one spitting the wise words!
The best animated trilogy ever! 🐼
i like that you actually show the movie clips a lot more than most people who do these reactions videos.
Thanks! I try to provide as much context as I can :)
It's really sad that,if shifu had visited tai lung in prison,and maybe apologized,tai lung could've turned out better. You can see the emotions running through his face,that apology meant something to him,even if he denied it. But the problem is, tai lung spent 20 years,in solitary confinement, in a straightjacket SO restrictive ,he couldn't even take a full breath,that was shown in one of the stages of unlocking. He spent 20 years in his own head with nothing to do but stew in his hatred of those he felt responsible,sifu and oogway.
Anyone knows that meaning of tai lung is The Great Dragon.
Yep Kung fu panda and How to train a dragon the best trilogies.
First movie. Body.
Second movie. Heart.
Third movie. Soul.
9:55
Calling a fat, unhealthy person "fat" is not rude. Its reality check. XD
Po did not get offended, rectified his ways and became fit later. That's why he is the Dragon Warrior.
Ogway is wisest character in chain , I believe he knows what he's doing.
Tai lung isn't a piece of shit. I believe people when they say it was bad parenting..
He's probably my favorite character out of the trilogy.
The real dragon warrior 🔥
Well of course it was bad parenting!
Wait,
Owning a restaurant and financial stability in one sentence?
That’s pure fantasy.
The beginning of this film makes me realise how incredible Jack Black is at narration.
13:05 I was watching this video right after making a big mistake and hearing this lifted my spirits right up. So I made a mistake big deal it happens to everyone. It’s in the past now. There’s nothing I can do about it, so no use in wallowing over it.
Definitely watch the entire trilogy; they're different but all good in different ways. Then, you simply must watch How to Train Your Dragon. I suspect you'll love it. :)
16:54-17:00 well I mean if Oogway had stayed and defeat Tai Lung then there would be no dragon warrior to carry on the peace since Oogway could not have been there forever
Great reaction. This is one of my favorite movies alongside Wreck-It Ralph. Anyone of any age or background can enjoy it. Great movie all around.
Thank you!
He's either a Red Panda like the one in the movie turning red or a Fox.
13:53 and 4:15 "one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it"
"where's he going?"
Uhhhhh anyone else gonna tell her or should I? lol
True. Lol. Someone got to tell her that Oogway ascended to the Spirit world.
NAAH !!! SHE WILL FIND OUT SOON !! : D
@@rexxbailey2764 Yeah. When she watches Kung Fu Panda 3 at least.
The edit when Oogway said "I don't know" caught me offguard.
When Po looks at the scroll first time: “It’s blank.”
When Tai Lung looks at the scroll: “It’s nothing!”
Note the small difference,
I love Kung fu panda ! Awesome reaction.
Appreciate it! ❤️ glad you liked it!
17:20
In Hindi dub of Kung Fu Panda TV show, there was a line Po said which in English is: "Oogway has gone to subway."
Found this just in time. Watch me enjoy my curry Roti and pumpkin thank you for this beautiful reaction
I’m glad you liked it!
Loved your reaction
A true good student finds blessings in his studies and still believes hes already great and has no path made.
This was the movie my dad took me to see in theatres for the first time when I was young
First time in a Movie Theatre
Cant wait for you to watch kung fu panda 2 it's my favorite growing up
“That was like an angry elephant”
Have you not heard what a bear sounds like?
This is understandable as an actual Snow leopard sound doesn’t sound as intimidating th-cam.com/video/SUMcXdnE-kw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the HIMYM reference.
I knew someone would appreciate it 😂
Do for kung fu panda 2 pls
4:13
Oogway saying that is foreshadowing Tai breaking out because Shifu tried to avoid fighting Tai by sending out that dude but his feather was the cause of Tai breaking out
In a way, Shifu was somewhat to blame, since since he was a child he filled him with dreams with the idea that he would be the dragon warrior, he made him train until he broke his bones so that in the end he would say no, he should not have given him hope.
Shifu is actually really cute, I agree. He might be a tough guy, but still really adorable.
I like them all but if I had to put them in order from best to least best is 1, 3, and 2.
That's the same I have ordered them too
This and how to train your dragon are the best dreamwork movies.
Agreed, like I still think there some other good DreamWorks movies but, the Kung fu panda trilogy and the how to train your dragon trilogy are the best in my opinion. Hell I'm pretty sure an there's gonna be a kung fu panda 4 in 2024.
@@ambersimon9659 ok there are many others like Spirit, Simbad, and the new puss in boots.
But when it comes to trilogies those two are amazing start to end.
Agreed, I also can't wait to see the new puss in boots. I heard great things about it! 😆
@@ambersimon9659 I should too.
I actually ate a noodle once, with no flavour and no seasoning. Then I followed what the duck said...
And now I don't put seasoning in my noodles.
A Red Panda is actually closer to a Raccoon then an actual panda
This is my second favorite Dreamworks trilogy right behind How to Train Your Dragon. The Dragon wins out because I feel the third Kung Fu Panda is a little weak compared to the other movies.
Oogway has to be the best animated character in my opinion.
For a kids movie there was so many good messages.
Red Pandas aren't technically pandas but they're adorable either way
