Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is a pretty interesting spin-off from the Kung Fu franchise as it came out during the early partnership era of DreamWorks and Nickelodeon. Let's see how well Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness holds up as a stand alone spin-off show.

Thanks so much for watching! What are your thoughts on Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness? Are you excited for Kung Fu Panda 4?
This is highly underrated and is genuinely good.
Absolutely, love your videos! Can’t believe the nostalgia trip you’ve brought me on man!
Thanks so much for watching!
Yes I’m excited for Kung Fu Panda 4!
Thanks for the heart Jordan~ Always happy when a content creator take their time to notice thier fans. Keep up the amzing work as always my guy. :3
For a TV show based on the movie, _Kung Fu Panda: Legend of Awesomeness_ has the most catchiest theme song ever to ever played.
Yup
Theme soooong!
That's the power, magic, and charm of Jack Black
There's a theme song for recycling paper here in Austria and it's catchy as hell
@@caelestisnox7045
I'm pretty sure someone else voiced Po in this tv show series
I will remember being shocked finding out years later that Jack Black wasn’t in this show, but rather Mick Wingert doing a really damn good impression of him. This was after I started playing Fire Emblem Heroes, and got to see just how versatile of a VA he is.
His Robert Downey Jr impression is really spot on. No wonder Marvel keeps hiring him for the cartoon adaptations.
Wait, that wasn’t Jack Black?!
Same goes for Tigress va Kari Wahlgren.I recently heard her as Fiona Jarnefeldt from Armored Core 4.And damn what range.
@@DrenixWarriorKnightit would have been very expensive to bring him to this lol
Ken Jeung from The Hangovers was in a few episodes of this.
One thing I find really cool is in an interview mr. Pings voice actor said he love playing mr. Ping and would do anything that has mr. Ping in it and usually people just say that because of interview on the DVD they have to act like they like their character but the fact that he's in all the movies shorts and TV series means that he truly loves playing mr. Ping and I can respect that
same bro that's awesome.
The legendary James Hong, who has done a ton of amazing voice work across countless projects. Probably my favorite is as David "Uncle Po" Wa Lin in Sleeping Dogs.
@@OddOneOut665 His career is legendary, chock full of notable appearances ranging from Jackie Chan Adventures and Kung Fu Panda to Sleeping Dogs and even his famed role as the antagonist in Big Trouble in Little China.
@@comettamer
I knew that dude in Sleeping Dogs sounded super familiar. Love his voice.
@@Wiki1184 Ikr. That whole game is absolutely underrated and it's criminal that it never got the sequel it so richly deserved.
My sister and I sung our hearts out for this show’s theme song.
“Here are the legends of the Kung Fu Panda!”
"Raised in a noodle shop, never seeking glory or fame,"
@@thefirstofthelastones8952 He climbed the mountain top and earned the Dragon Warrior name!
@TheGlassesPro Kung fu panda! He lives, and he trains, and he fights with the furious five!
@@megacrashthehedgehog5377 Protect the valley something, something, something, something alive!
Kung Fu Panda!
@@Ana-rf5cuLegends of Awesomeness (sweet!)
One of my favorite episodes from the series is "Master and the Panda", where Tai Lung's nephew, Peng, finds out about what happened to his uncle. What I really like is that you understand both sides. Po did what he had to do to save the Valley, and Peng is upset about what happened to his uncle. He's also afraid of what he would become if he was consumed with the thirst for power the way Tai Lung was. The action was also great.
Wait wasn't Tai Lung adopted? how does he have a nephew?
@@Max-yi7rq tbf he knew only his name was in town searching for him
Yeah no. I hated Ping, I still do. He's downright an annoying jerk
I KNEW that wasn’t an enigma!
@@Max-yi7rqmaby his birth family had other relatives
It was such a good show, The Kung Fu Panda franshise never disappoints me or anyone else.
Yup.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 I wonder if this series is canon or non canon ?
@@juliancaraveo5700 The series is canon because it takes place after the events of Kung Fu Panda 2.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Ok thanks for that info.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 well to me it’s takes place after the first movie as he said and some of the the episodes happening sometime after the second movie
I wanted you to bring up the villains SO bad! They were all so well-designed and interesting, right down to the people who gave them their voices. Taotie was my absolute favorite though. Wallace Shawn makes any role he plays so fun to watch 😊
Same here man all the villains were so fun.
Wish he at least brought up Ke-Pa. He was practically movie villain tier in terms of threat and presence. The 2-part "Enter The Dragon" special is still the episode that sticks with me the most.
Taotie and Bian Zao are among my favourite characters from the show. The crocodile bandits too.
My favorite Villains is Fung and ghari
I think the one shot villains tended to be bland, but the recurring ones were nearly always a lot of fun, to the point I'd argue the show usually wrote them better than the movie cast. Fung and Taotie were great pathetic villains and I love their "friendemy" chemistry with Po, fits him so well. Fenghuang was also a great 'comical but still very threatening' villain. I also like how several of the villains tie in to the movie lore, like Hundun turning bad because Tai Lung trashed the prison he was guarding, Taotie making the Jade Palace training hall, and Fenghuang tying into the Furious Five being a legacy group.
I will NEVER forget the show. Po's episode with Tai Lungs' nephew was such a memorable one, especially when he used a stone (forgor the name of it) to change into Tai Lung's image to show his nephew that being evil like his uncle was not the right path for him, and explain why he had to put him down. Good show! AWESOME video! 🐼👍
Ah yes i remember that one
You mean a shift stone
BRO THAT'S ONLY EPISODE I ACTUALLY REMEMBER! 😂
It does makes you wonder how he had a nephew since Tai Lung was a orphan left on the entry of the temple, like no one could tell he had siblings.
Chris the Stone name was the MEDALION
I loved this show as a kid
Same
Same here, it was so good!
same dude i couldnt wait to watch tv and hope to see this playing
Same
Me too. It was one of the few good shows from modern Nickelodeon. (Same with TMNT 2012)
The best joke I think would make a great meme from this show is the plate gag. Monkey: “We’ll never run out of plates.” Jump-cuts “We ran out of plates.” 😂
KPLA was another one of my all time favorite Nickelodeon cartoons! in fact "Fluttering Finger mindslip" "Ladies Of The Shade" and "Shifu's Ex" are some of my favorite episodes of this show!!!
Ah yes that wacky episode where he reversed his body with that fox (meiling or Something like that idk)
@@matplayer1232 Mei Ling Shifu's ex-girlfriend, and yes she also made a second and final appearance in the episode "A Crazy Little Ling Called Love."
I liked the one where po and a thief girl were having crushes on eachother, forgot the episode name.
@@GokuBlackRose978 I think it was "Ladies Of The Shade."
I suspect part of the reason they didn't push do deep with the character arcs was that they didn't like to establish anything that might contradict the movie too much.
"Why are things hard?" Is my favorite phrase Po said in that series
This was genuinely amazing and I still the remember the theme song perfectly to this day.
There is two other series
Here are the legends of the Kung Fu Panda
@@thebattleshell Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
@Mr. Friendship Raised in the noodle shop never seen glory and fame, He climbed the mountain top and earned the dragon warrior name
@@thebattleshell Kung Fu Panda!
Master Shifu saw the warrior blossom,
And master the skills of bodacious and awesome!
Personally I really loved some of the lore we got in the show like monkey past as a criminal or Tai long nephew
Mmm…monke
I would like to point out that by at least the second and third season, the show takes place after the events of King Fu Panda 2 because some dialogue in “Enter the Dragon” casually mentions Po beat Shen plus cannons were commonly used (an invention by Shen I believe)
You are correct
Yup that confused me the first time
Yes finally someone mentioned this, like LoA isn't a sequel to just 1 but also takes place after 2 as well.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Peng, who was revealed to be Tai Lung's Nephew. I remember being annoyed that TV movies around this time hardly did anything to reference the actual movie the show was based on, so seeing lore based on Tai Lung blew my mind as a kid.
Jordan: Wait Remember Kung Fu Panda?
Me, watching a rerun episode on TV every day: I sure hope I do or I'd be worried.
It's interesting how Peter Hastings developed 2 Kung Fu Panda shows (this series and the more recent Dragon Knight series), and they both got more mixed reception. Contrast with the one series he didn't work on (2018's Paws Of Destiny), which is generally better received. Funny how this is the only Kung Fu Panda show to have the Furious Five.
One thing I found really fascinating about Legends of Awesomeness,
was we got back stories on the furious five. Which made them more interesting and relatable.
"Squinting but for your eyes" is now one of my favorite misspeaks of the year so far. Great video!
13:54 AHEM entire Furious Five cast in Kung Fu Panda 4? Didn't happen.. 💀
I love how you remind me a lot of stuff with things Jordan. You truly make my day everytime
🎶 Raising in a noodle shop, never seeking glory or fame, He climbed the mountaintop and earned the Dragon Warrior name! 🎶
HOO HA YAH!!! KUNG FU PANDA!!!!
The villains in the show are actually pretty good. I wish the villains were in the movies (hopefully their in 4) because they were straight up cool and hilarious like Temutai, Peng, Fung and Gah-ri, Taotie, Tong Fo, Hundun, Scorpion and Fenghuang the sinister six esc team up between them (minus Fenghuang and Peng) was straight hype when I was a kid
Exactly!! I hated that they didnt cast the same voices and the crock bandits. And prefably the same writers.
This was an absolute gem that was encrusted into my childhood. The theme song, the stories, the characters. Everything about it is the definition of awesomeness.
Yes mainly the theme song ❤
I don’t mind the fact that this show is in a weird continuity place 🤷♀️
Yeah, this was definitely one of my all time favorite nick shows to watch.
KPLA had the right balance of humor and serious lore in the series, I was always ready to watch this and 2012 TMNT as a kid.
I love how many characters and villains it adds, and most of their designs are so cool! From this day I still remember that "voodoo" red scorpion where her venom controls the person, or that Blue Own, one of the furious five.
I always remember singing the theme song of the show in school. This show was Awesome!
Kung Fu Panda 1: There is no secret ingredient, and true mastery of Kung Fu only comes from hard work
Legends of Awesomeness: Almost every episode is about some crazy dangerous secret artifact that augments your Kung Fu
In Australia this show is still getting reruns pretty regularly, it's that popular still
Of all the movie spin offs that they ended up making, this was probably the best one we got.
Nah Dragons race to the edge is the winner
I honestly loved this show. Every weekend me and my sister would stay up until 11pm, which is when this show would be on in my country, and just watch this show until the end of its time slot. I love how this show expanded upon the world of Kung Fu Panda with all the characters it introduced, like Peng who is Tai Lung's nephew.
I love how this show expanded the Kung Fu Panda universe and fleshed out each character
Fleshed out each character? They all act out character in contrast to the movies in this show.
@@iceman1287 Not really
@@dragonfirenetwork4554 Yes they do. Po is literally an asshole in this series.
One of the many Nickelodeon shows I ever binge watched in middle school. I remember rushing home after going out with my grandma on Sundays just to catch up on episodes! This, Penguins of Madagascar, and TMNT 2012.
You keep unlocking my childhood 😭
This was a heavily anticipated show for me to watch growing up. I was in love with the theme song and getting to see the characters again was enough to get me hooked. Kung Fu Panda and HTTYD were some of my favorite Dreamworks movies so when both got respective TV series, I got on board with them quickly.
One thing I really wish Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness did more was explore the previous Furious Five a lot more. I mean sure, we got one episode with a few of them and Fenghuang was a recurring villain (a very cool one at that) but I just wish we got to see Shifu and heck maybe even the current Furious Five interact with them more.
That's one other thing I liked about this show, seeing other kung fu masters of various species with their own unique fighting styles.
14:47
After years of watching Kung Fu Panda and other dreamworks properties, after years passed from watching this show...
I only JUST realized that the Elephant was wearing a mask the entire time.
I love how the show not only build up on the Continuity, but also kept true to the characters absolutely amazing just like the movies
This show probably taught me the word "awesomeness" with how much they repeated it in this show.
I really liked the recurrent villains in this show. I also loved that in their corresponding last appearances in the last season, each villain has their arc come its conclusion.
I love this show as a kid and the theme song was a bop
Thank god! I was hoping to see this covered one day. There was a lot I loved about Kung Fu Panda and even this show I loved a bunch when growing up
Remember Kung Fu Panda? DreamWorks and Netflix won't let us forget it.
I felt like I was the only one that knew about the series
Loved this show
I remember this tv show very fondly. And the theme song went hard
I loved this show when it came out
I didn’t even notice the voice change back then
I remembered watching this a ton as a kid and it was just a lot of fun to see more of the KFP world
I remember this for having the voice of Po sound nearly Identical to Jack Black. The voice actor for Po did an incredible job
Literally binging all your videos, great job!
Thanks so much for the support!
I like the fact that King Fu Panda’s and How to Train Your Dragon’s shoes fit into continuity. Which is pretty cool.
I loved that show! Never missed an episode. I still remember the chills I got when I saw the promo for the 2 parter with the Dragon. “Behold! I REAL Dragon Warrior!” Chills. Nothing but chills.
I love how you do the thing right before ad breaks ❤❤
I never watched this show just because the animation seemed sort of unappealing, but I’m glad it wasn’t half bad. I really hope that Dreamworks continues this trend of tv shows for its movies. There’s that Megamind show that’s apparently still coming out for Peacock, and I would LOVE a Bad Guys cartoon
The show should of won comedy awards not the movies they wernt worth watching at all.
Love this series. Watched it as a kid through its run and it did a good job on expanding the lore of the kung fu panda universe.
Yes it was one of my favorite childhood TV shows from when I was a kid .
The villains in this show are definitely the stand out. My favorite was probably Fenghuang, an owl who was a former student of Oogway alongside Shifu before she went rogue (she's also voiced by the same actress as Eda from The Owl House). I also prefer Legends of Awesomeness over Paws of Destiny and Dragon Knight, mostly just because LoA has the Furious Five as prominent characters and they were always my favorites. I agree that I wish Crane got more to do, especially seeing as he has one of the best backstories out of the Five in both the show and in the Secrets of the Furious Five shorts.
Imagine living and training and fighting with the Furious Five that would be amazing
This actually introduced me to the Kung Fu Panda franchise! So many good memories!
I can say that I will always remember the first few episodes, I might have even seen the entire first season, I never quite finished the show but it all interested me in the end.
I'd love to see a video on each of the mini series
Honestly this was a pretty solid cartoon. Lots of good moments.
I really liked this show.
Got excited every time a new episode aired.
What I also really like about this show is that you get some backstory of all of the furious five and even master Shifu.
I really hope we will get some more backstory in Kung fu panda 4
This show deserves awards because it was actually really funny.
Just got done watching the trilogy yesterday, then the stars align and you upload
This show was my childhood, i was always watching it every morning i wake up(except for weekends) it was such a blast to watch for me and my sister
I like this series and I'm hoping instead of creating a new villain for the next movie or movies how about use some the villains from the show and put them in the movies as the main villains.
Hi Jordan. Love those more and les nostalgic cartoon trips of yours, do you think we could expect video about Wunschpunsch in not so distant future? That use to be one of my fav cartoons back in childhood.
As a kid I loved it and the theme song, it's been a while since I saw the show and I haven't watched the other shows but even as a kid I did notice the low quality animation and voices but I didn't mind it however for how to train your dragon show it did idk why but that one as a show didn't grab me I still watched it but much less. I'm glad you covered this show it was a pleasant memory.
broo that show hits so hard even after all this time,, i genuienly loved it!!
Omg, recently just finished watching this series and now this video pops up, funny how things can end up.
Awesome show, i remember loving the episodes with Mantis and Po. Awesome dynamic
I loved this series, you would love your take on the other two series as well.
I really enjoyed this show when it was first airing (at least the first season or 2). Probably doesn’t hold up as well today, but I really liked it at the time
This used to air on my local TV channels every morning and sometimes afternoons.
It was waaay to awesome for my pea sized mind.
When I was a kid I never watched the movies but I did watch this show a ton. I've recently been watching the Kung Fu Panda movies and oh man do they go HARD!! I still remember the theme song of this show and a few episodes too.
Hearing that Kung Fu panda is going to have a 4th movie is honestly no surprise, I remember watching fun fact videos about the movie and remember the creators mentioning that they planned Kung-fu Panda for 6 movies (or 6 chapters) of Po's whole journey of being a Kung-fu master.
Love your vids 😎
Not kidding here I was literally thinking to myself the other day it would be cool if Jordan Fringe did a video about kung fu panda legends of awesomeness and wow here we are.
This show was awesome and the THEME SONG ABOSLUTELY SLAPPED. I kind of want to hear you talk about All Hail King Juilen.
This was my one of my favorite shows from the early 2010s on Nickelodeon!
Ngl the show being canon is cool
I thought it wasn’t?…
@@sweetoil2952 apparently it is
@@BoomyShakes Cool! :D
@@BoomyShakesIt isn't, though it's the only one that can be canon if they wanted to, with some slight changes.
Love your work, keep randomly stumbling across your vids, and finally subbed with that 🔔, keep it up!
OMG THIS SHOW WAS MY CHILDHOOD i watched this after the first Movie! Jordan You beautiful Master of Knowledge! XD i watched this with a Line up of awesome shows. Like The Penguins of Madagascar, Monsters Vs Aliens, Tak and The Power of Juju, and Back To the Barnyard
The dragon warrior really put the OP in po for this show
Bro just continues to unlock my childhood memories thanks man
Been waiting on this video for so long now 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Now I want to hear your thoughts on the movies too sometime.
I was surprised how similar Po's voice actor sounded to Jack Black!
I loved this show as a kid!
The villains from this show were definitely the highlight for me, all of them were just simple fun in their own way
Watching your videos helps chill me out.
Your content is very nice, lots of nostalgia. Can you do Voltron legendary defender next?
It's crazy I was just wondering the other day if you had ever made a video on this series
I love that show! The second episode with the princess is my favorite!
great video, i know there was a point where a lot of kid films were being turned into shows, another one that i think you should check out is dragons: riders of berk. also check out the show ok ko, i got really into that show, too bad cartoon network forced it to end.
I will say, I loved this show as a kid and I bet if I go back and watch it now, it won’t be as good as I remember, but I bet it would still be a pretty good experience.
I thought the voice actors did a great job, and some of the villains and storylines I thought were great. Villain wise, scorpion and that marsupial guy with the big eyes were really good. Not to mention that my 11 year old mind was blown when ti lung came back to talk to his nephew.
Sir I remember everything about Kung Fu Panda thank you very much. And still actively rewatch a lot of them. !
And you cannot beat the trilogy It's too good.
Even their more recent show which I thought I would hate but it's not too bad
i genuinely had no clue this show existed, and i adore the movies; thanks for new info & fly over 🤟🏻🐼
