This is actually not the end of Pandaverse guys. There are a couple short movies of kung fu panda that actually explain a lot of things like the origin of the furious five and how it was Po who meddled and choose his future partners. And others... like secrets of the scroll, the furious five, secrets of the masters and holidays. See if you guys can react to those.
Body, air, blue. Mind, fire, red. Spirit, earth, green. Meanwhile: Po is water and his colour is his mother's golden aura. So much so that he even changed the colour of the cannonballs in 2.
It's also a good representation of the growth of a learner. First you learn, then you apply your knowledge, then you share your knowledge by teaching it to someone else.
So, if that means there's going to be a 4th movie... Po will have to conquer his heart? Not that he needs a love interest per se, but it would be interesting to see who he would fall for and why. Perhaps he falls for someone who turns out to be a villain, and he has to make a tough choice in the end of the movie.
But do you remember, how at the end of the movie all the Jade Amulets were freed? Granted, I do believe he's stuck in the Spirit Realm but im really excited to see how they bring him back in the new movie
I saw a video that was basically detailing what that battle would be like, as if it would be any battle at all. Kai, having learned to take Chi, Tai Lung having barely learned nerve attacks, Kai having 500 years in the spirit world to learn, who (this is a tossup, I don't consider it this, because he knew it wasn't his destiny to stop Kai, so he gave up, but some do) easily dealt with Oogway. In my mind, Tai Lung was no match for Kai.
I know it might be out of the topic here, but that's the problem with todays Marvel for me. They keep bringing down our heroes by making them stupid, dumb or just suddenly powerless, all for bringing up the new heroes up.
@@SuperHeedictatorI think it's different with superheros because if they kept all of them alive then try to bring in a stronger super over n over again.. they'd just become almost like godlike eventually right??
@@earthing3696 yeah, I see your thought, but I feel like they just do the poor job of handing down the mantle of the superhero to the next generation. Like with Shifu, he is still the best and has that wast knowledge of kung-fu, but is giving the way to Po as a new blood and Po respects him too. That's what is lacking for me in Marvel
"I'm not trying to turn you into me. I'm turning you into you." One of the best lines. When you become a successor as a grandmaster or heir to the throne or anything, don't be just like your predecessor, just be yourself but better than your predecessor.
In the first movie when Po landed in front Oogway during the dragon warrior selection Oogway said "How interisting!" as he himself was trained by Pandas.
"If you only do what you can do, you'll never be more than you are now" One of my favourite quotes from the series. It encourages you to grow and I love it as a reminder that everything you know today you had to learn at one point in life. It takes away the fear of trying to do something new out of fear of failure because you've already proven that you have the capacity to learn over time despite the initial failure.
Kai _appeared_ more powerful but eventually became less than nothing by trying to steal the life force (chi) of everyone else. But Po became more powerful and alive by teaching the Pandas to be the best they can be as _themselves_ -- granting value to _their_ life. Po's adoptive father helped change the story around by appreciating what Po gained from his two dads -- granting importance to Po. Everyone in the village saved their own lives (and more than themselves -- everyone everywhere) by giving life force (chi) to Po. So giving value to others' lives brings more life to you.
I think one of Kai's biggest downfalls was that, while he COULD control the CHI of those he captured, he 'literally' had to control them. The stronger the CHI the more he had to concentrate... There is no way he would ever fully control a true masters CHI... Did OOGWAY ever appear in the final fight?
Because Po gave chi. Kai absorbed chi forcefully, with their bodies. Po gave chi and his body didn't go with it, thats why it was too much, the life force without the body was simply not computed by his body due to so much absorption.
Kai is one of the best villains, he’s like the exact in between of shen and tai lung. Serious but also comedic. Plus his theme tune is the best out of them all.
One thing I really like about the trilogy is the fact that Po's character is so humble. I think that is why he is chosen as the Dragon Warrior, because he's not afraid to admit that he doesn't know how to do something, therefore he is open to learning new lessons, techniques, and skills. For many of the villains, you can see that they think they know it all, that they have conquered everything, and they think that Po is beneath them in terms of fighting ability. They underestimate him and their own cockiness is their downfall. Whenever Po runs into a problem, he stops to solve it, and never throws a tantrum despite everyone always underestimating him, from Master Shifu and the Furious Five thinking he couldn't be the Dragon Warrior in the first movie, to General Kai in the last movie. Po never believes that he cannot do something new or learn something new. His character is an example of someone who is open to learning anything, instead of thinking that they already know everything there is to know.
there's a chance Tai Lung might become good after being imprisoned by Kai, he also could learn to accept he was never meant to be the dragon warrior. And in the first film, he never expected a apology from his dad so maybe he'd apologize as well
The message of "it means more for Po" really gets me. I think often about how at the end of the day love is a truly limitless resource, especially after studying to become and finally becoming a teacher. I currently have about 120 kids that I definitely consider "mine" and love with all my heart. To me, that's probably the most important lesson of the movie. Love doesn't run out and there is always space for it.
What a great reaction to a favorite movie. All three of you made great points, and again Oak hit it out of the park. He’s mostly quiet during the film, but he’s really taking it all in and putting it together. Thank you all, I enjoyed this very much.
I'm usually not a fan of sequels/continuous movies, because for the majority of them they do/change something that sometimes ruins the original for me. That being said, this is one of the only trilogies/soon-to-be series that I would probably genuinely enjoy a fourth installment of
@@TheBalisongBear The third one is the weakest. Kai is the least compelling villain in the trilogy and I was surprised by how much I personally disliked all the pandas. Not to mention the connection between pandas and Oogway and how that re-contextualizes, I will dare say, even retcons, his decision to choose Po as Dragon Warrior.
to follow up on your co-parenting lesson comment - I can ABSOLUTELY recommend taking a look at Cinema Therapy's video about Co-Parenting in Kung Fu Panda 3, because that is exactly what they talk about! It takes a professional deepdive into it and it is cute, fun and really educating!
@Mason, i love your admiration of the geese, so fun to watch you entertained. "I'm a bird, Po" 😂 love this movie... As a black adoptee with an interracial family, this segment of the trilogy just tickles my soul....it's also one of so few representatives of unique, multinational adoption families. My mother was Angelina Jolie with it since the 70's! 😂❤
I am Thai and fun fact is in thai language the character named "Kai" in thai it's mean "Who" in English ,it's so funny like when the villain said his name was "Kai"(who) and Po said "Kai?"(who?) ,that's so appropriate 555555
I'm sure it's already been said but there is a fan theory that Master Oogway was a warlord as bad as Kai when they were "brothers." He changed after the Pandas taught him the way of chi and he invented Kung Fu as a way to channel his inner warrior while embracing inner peace.
I absolutely love this trilogy. The baby pandas were an adorable addition to this film. I'm looking forward to the 4th because they brought the entire cast back. ❤🐼
Love your reactions! You three are fantastic commentators & I absolutely love that you go in depth with your reviews after each film! Also, in every reaction, I love that Oak finds the hidden message and appreciates the life lessons! It brings me such happiness, same with the Harry Potter reactions, I loved seeing the films through your fresh eyes and you picked up on things I might of missed! Incredible reaction as always ☺️☺️
I am so happy you guys enjoyed the trilogy! I knew the lessons would be loved, especially by Oak. Back in the first movie when you guys mention loving and wanting more of Goose Dad I was just waiting for this movie! For me my favorite is the second one, but thats like saying while one was 100% the others got 98%. The beauty of the animation always is top tier. I loved Kai and his theme music. It wasn't talked about, but for me it spoke a lot to Po's character that he without hesitation sacrificed himself to save everyone. He had no clue he could come back, right up til the end where he spoke with Ooogwei. He thought it was a one way trip. And he did it with no fear, just a glance at his parents and friends. If this was going to be the last movie it was a perfect ending. And for most of us it was, until recently with the announcement of the fourth. I don't know where they will take the story, will their be a time skip? Will we see more of China? Who knows, I only hope for the same beautiful animation and possibly a good story.
I love how they added Mr. Ping more into this, his dialogue and character's personality is hilarious! Definitely needed more of him and Oogway's wise yet funny moments 💗
I have to say the first Kung Fu Panda is my favorite. When Po says "Every time you through a brick at my head or called me smelly it hurt, but it didnt hurt as much as does being me every day" It makes me cry every time cuz i feel the same way as a 29 yr old.
I like to think of the idea of chi with the freely given vs the taken being like the lesson from "The World Ends With You". Our world is a small thing, only what we can experience on our own. It ends with you. But with the exchange of ideas, knowledge, wisdom, experience, vision and creativity between people we make our own worlds so much bigger. You can also do that by stealing ideas etc but in the end that isolates you and makes the ones close to you who would really make your world bigger leave. So that which is stolen gives you less. Like Oogway being forced to confront his best friend for attempting to steal the chi of the village. He wanted to kill them and take theirs and that just made his world smaller.
I think they didnt bring up avenging his mom because at the end of KFP2, it wasnt about vengeance. Po gave Shen a chance at healing and forgiveness and Shen refused and ultimately caused his own downfall. Po didn't get revenge; Shen destroyed himself.
From my understanding of Taoism/daoism, the line: "The best you, you can be." and "Make you into you." mean going further along your own dao/tao towards becoming a god or at least godlike. In essence the idea is that no matter what you do or who you are each of us has our own path towards enlightenment. Unlike a lot of other belief systems which have specific paths to godhood or sainthood as the maximum destination or only via being chosen.
“CHI” is just energy in all living things and it’s the perfect balance of Yin & Yang in you, positive & Negative … and everyone has it, but won’t be in balance…. It depends on which side of you feed more & less.
I love this movie, it hits close. The feeling that your family is similar to you, like Po learned and noticed things he had always known or he was comfortable with he didn't know he would be. I'm a foster child and I absolutely love my family and I can see aome things how they have made me to be me. But when I meet my biological family, my mom, dad, there's something, in their laugh or way of talking, walking. Things I know from myself.
ive been watching your videos for the past month catching up with a lot of your content and i just wanna say you guys are super entertaining and your talks at the end are always interesting and fun to listen to. I wonder if you guys have heard about Ghibli movies? i think you might like some of them if you go with an open mind! especially movies like 'Princess Mononoke' and 'Spirited Away' (but also 'Ponyo' and 'Howls moving Castle' I'm so indecisive) they are animated movies that dance the line between being for kids and/or for adults - incredible animation and story telling!
If you go back to the first Jung Fu Panda, at the beginning, when Po wakes up from his dream it's an image of Kai on his wall that he throws the shuriken at.
I genuinely do not understand why people say Kai wasn't an intimidating villain. The feats he pulled off in this movie were insane. He's easily the most dangerous villain of the entire franchise so far. Making jokes about how he was forgotten doesn't change that. I mean, the entire final fight with Tai Lung was a big meme, and people still acknowledge HIM as an intimidating villain.
Something nice to acknowledge , it seams that oogway was like kai, a bad "General" he leads armys. But after he stayed for a while with the Pandas it seams he became good.
Yes Oogway was a war lord in his younger years and not good aligned given the titles Kai went by like “maker of widows”, “master of pain”, and “beast of vengeance”. Not exactly titles befitting a morally good character.
I dont quite understand what you meant with the theme progressing throughout the entire third movie unlike with the first two. The theme of the first movie was "theres no secret ingredient, its just you, for something to be special you only need to believe it is" and it did that throughout the entire movie from start to finish. The theme of the second was comming to terms with your past which it also did from start to finish.
The third one is the weakest. Kai is the least compelling villain in the trilogy and I was surprised by how much I personally disliked all the pandas. Not to mention the connection between pandas and Oogway and how that re-contextualizes, I will dare say, even retcons, his decision to choose Po as Dragon Warrior.
yeh for me the 3rd was BY FAR the weakest too. I was very surprised they gave it the highest score of the 3. It unlike the first 2 movies doesnt even have its own message but kinda repeats the ones of 1 and 2. I've also forggoten most of the movies scenes now except like the actually important stuff. The humor was weaker, the character moments were weaker and the villain definitely was weaker. Tai Lung was smypathetic and Shen even had moments that showed him as just another "human being" (I know theyre animals). Kai appeared and then went on and on about chi. The only characterizing moment we got was his talk with shifu when shifu said "I will not let you destroy Oogways memory" and kai replies "Why not? He destroyed mine!"@@MegaMilenche
@@DGSnowolf Talking about Tai Lung, Oogway should've just said to Shifu, when he adopted the baby snow leopard, that he was just waiting for a panda. It completely undoes the "Oogway saw darkness in Tai Lung's heart and that made him unworthy to be a dragon warrior". Boom, you no longer have the first movie.
@@DGSnowolf2's message was the weakest in my opinion. But probably because I'm not adopted and don't struggle with my past. I've never been able to relate to feeling parents are part of one's identity. As someone who has struggled with believing in my own self and figuring out who I "should" be, 1 and 3 made more of an impact on me. Though I enjoy the whole trilogy.
What I find crazy is that both you guys and the real rejects both just finished this series and both of you guys use Praper for edits. I got to watch this series twice and got 2 completely different watching perspectives. Keep up the good work
I absolutely loved the trilogy. Everything was great - animation, story, the voice actors... and SO funny! Guys! If you liked especially the life advices, PLEASE CONSIDER watching/reacting to Ted Lasso! (if you haven't yet). Oak in particular will be blown away what this incredible series will give to you! (everyone other as well, there is NO DOUBT)
1:40 Acknowledge the distraction without ignoring it, and then let it go. This movie is a little too abstract for me. I prefer the look of 1 and 2, even though this one is stunning in it's own way. I think it moves a bit too fast, and the characters have been simplified a touch, just a touch too far. Kung Fu masters, including the 5 seem too afraid and useless in battle. The ending was beautiful, and it was a nice ending for the story. I just with the fight scenes weren't so abbreviated and the characterization was a little more careful.
The third one is the weakest. Kai is the least compelling villain in the trilogy and I was surprised by how much I personally disliked all the pandas. Not to mention the connection between pandas and Oogway and how that re-contextualizes, I will dare say, even retcons, his decision to choose Po as Dragon Warrior.
You know, I could have sworn I'd seen all 3 Kung Fu Pandas before watching this video, but I got partway through and realised I had NO recollection of this. I guess I gotta go watch KFP3 before I continue...
I'm so happy that you reacted to the entire Kung Fu Panda series ~ and I am definitely looking forward to Legally Blonde! Excited! I wonder if it would be possible for you all to react to Stranger than Fiction, starring Will Ferrell?
Hey @BaddMedicine I don't know if you guys still check comments on this, or just old videos in general, but there's a mistake in editing at the beginning of this video, thought it might be nice to know. When you're introducing yourselves ("I'm Mason Quinn, this is The Answer, and this is the Appleton Oak") the digital nameplate edited in for Answer says Diamond Dave instead. Could be taken as a compliment though, since Dave is by no means a bad person to be :)
Thank you for not taking a year to finish this trilogy.Only two weeks! Unlike one channel I'm thinking of that has done the first 1 year ago, the second 4 months ago and haven't touched the third YET. They love the movies but just keep pushing them back. They do this for ALL of the trilogy and movie groups, takes them a year plus to get through and it aggravates the hell outta me.
@@bababuiii CineBinge React is who I was referring to. I love their reactions to the movies I enjoy but their movie choice is spotty and when they have a hit it takes them 6 months to get to the next one. Austin Powers took more than a year to finish for example, and they just started Shrek. Won't see the end of that quad any time soon.
It's a shame Tai Lung was reduced to blink and you'll miss it moment of being on Kai's belt, a bit more substantial cameo would've been better in my opinion.
Second time requesting for you guys to watch "Warm Bodies!!" It is a great movie, it has Zombies, drama, and even an unexpected love story! Its one of my personal favorite zombie movies!! I would be so happy if you guys would check it out! You guys are my favorite reaction channel, and I love watching your videos! Kung fu Panda 3 is my favorite of the trilogy! Can't wait until Badd Medicine is back again!!
I'm a stepdad myself, and I also never talked bad about my stepson's biological father, though there would have been a lot to talk about. He, unfortunately, didn't return that favour. But - he's dead for over a decade now - and I'm still on great terms with my stepson, so...all ends well that ends well, I guess.
I love these movies lol. My only nitpick in this film though, is how Tigress found the "secret village" if Po and his dads went there alone without leaving directions for anyone else? Lol
Oooooooh right, I forgot about that scroll. Just cause Po's dad specifically told them during the trip that they couldn't bring the Goose cause they couldn't lead outsiders in, I didn't think the location would just be left written on a scroll. Lol since it's secret and the scroll could go anywhere. BUT, you're probably correct about that. Lol
Okay I have an unpopular opinion: I like the 3rd one more than the 2nd one... Actually the 2nd one is my least favourite... favourite. 1 has the best most complex villain. (how a good person can go bad through expectations and bad parenting) 3rd has the most heart 2. is the most serious and well developed I love all of them. But while the jokes in the 3rd one can be a bit much, I feel like it has the most heart of all of them! Also Kais music slaps!
Thus concludes my favorite DreamWorks Trilogy. The KFP2 will always be my favorite, but the action scenes and messages in this film were great and a fitting end to Po's journey. I'm curious where they're taking the story in the next film.
A very good end..... for now. What was your reaction? Did this meetyouru expectations? What are your expectations for Kung Fu Panda 4?

@heardthatbeforespiritual leader you mean
I'm sure people are gonna mention this but the first movie Po conquered his body, the second one his mind and the third one his spirit.
it is the "Student" trilogy the studio folks mentioned.. They are planning the "Master" triology now.
Body, air, blue. Mind, fire, red. Spirit, earth, green. Meanwhile: Po is water and his colour is his mother's golden aura. So much so that he even changed the colour of the cannonballs in 2.

Wonder what the 4th is gonna be. Can't wait.
Fun fact: there is a moment in this film where it shows tai lung as a part of kais jade collection. Yes, even tai lung wasnt safe from kai
I’ve never seen that Easter egg, I was late to the screening.

This movie for a lot of people including myself showed me its okay to have two dads. I'm not at a disadvantage because of it, it's a blessing.

For me my favorite is the second one, but thats like saying while one was 100% the others got 98%. The beauty of the animation always is top tier. I loved Kai and his theme music. It wasn't talked about, but for me it spoke a lot to Po's character that he without hesitation sacrificed himself to save everyone. He had no clue he could come back, right up til the end where he spoke with Ooogwei. He thought it was a one way trip. And he did it with no fear, just a glance at his parents and friends. If this was going to be the last movie it was a perfect ending. And for most of us it was, until recently with the announcement of the fourth. I don't know where they will take the story, will their be a time skip? Will we see more of China? Who knows, I only hope for the same beautiful animation and possibly a good story.
Could you guys watch "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish"? Such an amazing animated movie!!!💙💜
I second this.
I 3rd this!! Suggested on a previous video. I know you will love it!! 😊
I love Kung Fu Panda ❤ and Badd Medicine does the best reactions 😊
They really do!
I love how they added Mr. Ping more into this, his dialogue and character's personality is hilarious! Definitely needed more of him and Oogway's wise yet funny moments 💗
Listening to Oak’s analysis I think encanto would be a great follow up animated movie to this one.
Encanto is so great!! I would love to see their reaction to it.
I would love to see you guys get into the popular Studio Ghibli movies, like Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.
Same here
I have to say the first Kung Fu Panda is my favorite. When Po says "Every time you through a brick at my head or called me smelly it hurt, but it didnt hurt as much as does being me every day" It makes me cry every time cuz i feel the same way as a 29 yr old.
Tigress: "Do it!"
*Little cutie Panda smacks with Tigress-puppet.😊❤
I like to think of the idea of chi with the freely given vs the taken being like the lesson from "The World Ends With You". Our world is a small thing, only what we can experience on our own. It ends with you. But with the exchange of ideas, knowledge, wisdom, experience, vision and creativity between people we make our own worlds so much bigger. You can also do that by stealing ideas etc but in the end that isolates you and makes the ones close to you who would really make your world bigger leave. So that which is stolen gives you less.
Like Oogway being forced to confront his best friend for attempting to steal the chi of the village. He wanted to kill them and take theirs and that just made his world smaller.
I think they didnt bring up avenging his mom because at the end of KFP2, it wasnt about vengeance. Po gave Shen a chance at healing and forgiveness and Shen refused and ultimately caused his own downfall. Po didn't get revenge; Shen destroyed himself.
From what I've heard, the 4th Kung Fu Panda is going to be about Po finding a new Dragon Warrior and passing the torch.
Mason Quinn what a way to start the video, that was a 10/10 reference
From my understanding of Taoism/daoism, the line: "The best you, you can be." and "Make you into you." mean going further along your own dao/tao towards becoming a god or at least godlike. In essence the idea is that no matter what you do or who you are each of us has our own path towards enlightenment. Unlike a lot of other belief systems which have specific paths to godhood or sainthood as the maximum destination or only via being chosen.
DreamWorks with a fourth Kung Fu Panda film in their backpack: *Laughs in Sith Lord*
Loved waking up to y'all. Hope Ice Age will be added to your guys list.
That is on the list :)
Omg yess please, I love ice age
Hahaha they will love ice age
Oooh I thoroughly enjoyed rewatching these with you!
Thanks for watching with us
“CHI” is just energy in all living things and it’s the perfect balance of Yin & Yang in you, positive & Negative … and everyone has it, but won’t be in balance…. It depends on which side of you feed more & less.
I love this movie, it hits close. The feeling that your family is similar to you, like Po learned and noticed things he had always known or he was comfortable with he didn't know he would be.
I'm a foster child and I absolutely love my family and I can see aome things how they have made me to be me.
But when I meet my biological family, my mom, dad, there's something, in their laugh or way of talking, walking. Things I know from myself.
(At 16:50) Kind of surprised me that Wayne McKnight from Seinfeld, Space Jam, and Jurassic Park is on here.
After listening to your point of view I got to appreciate this movie so much more! 😊
Man I just love James Hong as Mr. Ping (Po's dad).
The third part of Kung-fu Panda is the spiritual (chi) challenge.
ive been watching your videos for the past month catching up with a lot of your content and i just wanna say you guys are super entertaining and your talks at the end are always interesting and fun to listen to.
I wonder if you guys have heard about Ghibli movies? i think you might like some of them if you go with an open mind! especially movies like 'Princess Mononoke' and 'Spirited Away' (but also 'Ponyo' and 'Howls moving Castle' I'm so indecisive) they are animated movies that dance the line between being for kids and/or for adults - incredible animation and story telling!
Good thing About this trilogy is that the movies are all so good my personal favourite is the second one but it’s so close
The Hans Zimmer Music in this is just Next Level.
here to give mason quinn props for the gimli quote, since he was sadly left hanging there
Loved hearing Oak's perspective on this. Great messages from all of you
"I banished him to the spirit realm" Oogway, explaining how he killed his own student with flowery words lmao
? Kai wasn’t his student he was his equal.
It's for the greater good.
Do u think hilter should be allowed to live? Pooptin?
@@astrea4020 oogway was always dropping knowledge bombs on everyone
(At 22:30) He's a yak, he doesn't have fingers. I mean, yeah he's amphomorphic, bipedal and part alphabetal, but those are still hooves.
When you mentioned something about pandas 🐼 being natural born sprinters it reminded me of the lord of the ring.
Lol he was making that reference 😂
i would love to see you watch ratatouille if you havent seen it already, cause its my favourite feel good pixar movie
If you go back to the first Jung Fu Panda, at the beginning, when Po wakes up from his dream it's an image of Kai on his wall that he throws the shuriken at.
It’s always a good day when bad medicine uploads !!
if you remember what master oogway say in the first movie "MY TIME HAS COME" it is mean that the time he go to the spirit realm and fight Master Kai.
Super excited for the fourth movie! I’m going to have to get my nephews to watch the first three so I can take them to see it in theaters!
grew up watching it and love it also love Kai's theme especially when he shows up at the jade palace also Po x Tigress
This was the very first movie we took our oldest kid to in the theatre. ❤
I genuinely do not understand why people say Kai wasn't an intimidating villain.
The feats he pulled off in this movie were insane. He's easily the most dangerous villain of the entire franchise so far.
Making jokes about how he was forgotten doesn't change that.
I mean, the entire final fight with Tai Lung was a big meme, and people still acknowledge HIM as an intimidating villain.
anyone else see that the answer’s name at the beginning said “Diamond dave”? 🤣
That's my bad! 👋
YESSS IVE VEEN WAITING FOR YALL TO WATCH THIS ONE ITS SO GOOD!!!!
27:49 I knew you’d think of karate kid here
Something nice to acknowledge , it seams that oogway was like kai, a bad "General" he leads armys. But after he stayed for a while with the Pandas it seams he became good.
Yes Oogway was a war lord in his younger years and not good aligned given the titles Kai went by like “maker of widows”, “master of pain”, and “beast of vengeance”. Not exactly titles befitting a morally good character.
I just checked this morning whether you guys uploaded Part 3 reaction or not😂😂...and here we are❤
This might not have the most beloved villain, but it surely has a soul, and a lot of it!
I dont quite understand what you meant with the theme progressing throughout the entire third movie unlike with the first two.
The theme of the first movie was "theres no secret ingredient, its just you, for something to be special you only need to believe it is" and it did that throughout the entire movie from start to finish.
The theme of the second was comming to terms with your past which it also did from start to finish.
The third one is the weakest. Kai is the least compelling villain in the trilogy and I was surprised by how much I personally disliked all the pandas. Not to mention the connection between pandas and Oogway and how that re-contextualizes, I will dare say, even retcons, his decision to choose Po as Dragon Warrior.
yeh for me the 3rd was BY FAR the weakest too. I was very surprised they gave it the highest score of the 3. It unlike the first 2 movies doesnt even have its own message but kinda repeats the ones of 1 and 2. I've also forggoten most of the movies scenes now except like the actually important stuff. The humor was weaker, the character moments were weaker and the villain definitely was weaker. Tai Lung was smypathetic and Shen even had moments that showed him as just another "human being" (I know theyre animals). Kai appeared and then went on and on about chi. The only characterizing moment we got was his talk with shifu when shifu said "I will not let you destroy Oogways memory" and kai replies "Why not? He destroyed mine!"@@MegaMilenche
@@DGSnowolf Talking about Tai Lung, Oogway should've just said to Shifu, when he adopted the baby snow leopard, that he was just waiting for a panda. It completely undoes the "Oogway saw darkness in Tai Lung's heart and that made him unworthy to be a dragon warrior". Boom, you no longer have the first movie.
@@DGSnowolf2's message was the weakest in my opinion. But probably because I'm not adopted and don't struggle with my past. I've never been able to relate to feeling parents are part of one's identity.
As someone who has struggled with believing in my own self and figuring out who I "should" be, 1 and 3 made more of an impact on me. Though I enjoy the whole trilogy.
Y'all came in clutch just in time for a slow boring day at work for me haha
You should see Lego Movie and Lego Batman
What I find crazy is that both you guys and the real rejects both just finished this series and both of you guys use Praper for edits. I got to watch this series twice and got 2 completely different watching perspectives. Keep up the good work
I absolutely loved the trilogy. Everything was great - animation, story, the voice actors... and SO funny!
Guys! If you liked especially the life advices, PLEASE CONSIDER watching/reacting to Ted Lasso! (if you haven't yet). Oak in particular will be blown away what this incredible series will give to you! (everyone other as well, there is NO DOUBT)
YESSSS PLEASE!
This one is my favorite of the franchise
1:40 Acknowledge the distraction without ignoring it, and then let it go. This movie is a little too abstract for me. I prefer the look of 1 and 2, even though this one is stunning in it's own way. I think it moves a bit too fast, and the characters have been simplified a touch, just a touch too far. Kung Fu masters, including the 5 seem too afraid and useless in battle. The ending was beautiful, and it was a nice ending for the story. I just with the fight scenes weren't so abbreviated and the characterization was a little more careful.
The third one is the weakest. Kai is the least compelling villain in the trilogy and I was surprised by how much I personally disliked all the pandas. Not to mention the connection between pandas and Oogway and how that re-contextualizes, I will dare say, even retcons, his decision to choose Po as Dragon Warrior.
You know, I could have sworn I'd seen all 3 Kung Fu Pandas before watching this video, but I got partway through and realised I had NO recollection of this. I guess I gotta go watch KFP3 before I continue...
This is just a suggestion but if you hadn't seen Treasure Planet, I hope you give it a chance and try giving it a reaction
I'm so happy that you reacted to the entire Kung Fu Panda series ~ and I am definitely looking forward to Legally Blonde! Excited! I wonder if it would be possible for you all to react to Stranger than Fiction, starring Will Ferrell?
Hey @BaddMedicine I don't know if you guys still check comments on this, or just old videos in general, but there's a mistake in editing at the beginning of this video, thought it might be nice to know. When you're introducing yourselves ("I'm Mason Quinn, this is The Answer, and this is the Appleton Oak") the digital nameplate edited in for Answer says Diamond Dave instead. Could be taken as a compliment though, since Dave is by no means a bad person to be :)
haahha just a mistake on my end when I did that. - DD
I always loved a tiny detail, considering both Oogway and Kai were warlords, it's not that Kai became evil, it's that Oogway became good
Thank you for not taking a year to finish this trilogy.Only two weeks! Unlike one channel I'm thinking of that has done the first 1 year ago, the second 4 months ago and haven't touched the third YET. They love the movies but just keep pushing them back. They do this for ALL of the trilogy and movie groups, takes them a year plus to get through and it aggravates the hell outta me.
whooo, I know many reaction channels that annoy the fuck out of me
@@bababuiii CineBinge React is who I was referring to. I love their reactions to the movies I enjoy but their movie choice is spotty and when they have a hit it takes them 6 months to get to the next one. Austin Powers took more than a year to finish for example, and they just started Shrek. Won't see the end of that quad any time soon.
Did anyone see the jombie Tai Long? He was in the spirit realm too and Kai took all the masters Chi.
It's a shame Tai Lung was reduced to blink and you'll miss it moment of being on Kai's belt, a bit more substantial cameo would've been better in my opinion.
Second time requesting for you guys to watch "Warm Bodies!!" It is a great movie, it has Zombies, drama, and even an unexpected love story! Its one of my personal favorite zombie movies!! I would be so happy if you guys would check it out! You guys are my favorite reaction channel, and I love watching your videos! Kung fu Panda 3 is my favorite of the trilogy! Can't wait until Badd Medicine is back again!!
I'm a stepdad myself, and I also never talked bad about my stepson's biological father, though there would have been a lot to talk about.
He, unfortunately, didn't return that favour.
But - he's dead for over a decade now - and I'm still on great terms with my stepson, so...all ends well that ends well, I guess.
Yeayyy I'm early! Kung Fu Panda is best trilogy for me.
Love your others reaction guys and I am sure I'll love this reaction too. Good work❤️
Pls do the Shrek Series next. Plsssssssss.
I love these movies lol.
My only nitpick in this film though, is how Tigress found the "secret village" if Po and his dads went there alone without leaving directions for anyone else? Lol
Oooooooh right, I forgot about that scroll. Just cause Po's dad specifically told them during the trip that they couldn't bring the Goose cause they couldn't lead outsiders in, I didn't think the location would just be left written on a scroll. Lol since it's secret and the scroll could go anywhere. BUT, you're probably correct about that. Lol
i always thought the next step in a kung fu panda would be to have po get his own tai lung, a student turned traitor.
13:52 Oogway: I banished Kai to the spirit realm
What a friendly way to say he killed him XD
Okay I have an unpopular opinion:
I like the 3rd one more than the 2nd one... Actually the 2nd one is my least favourite... favourite.
1 has the best most complex villain. (how a good person can go bad through expectations and bad parenting)
3rd has the most heart
2. is the most serious and well developed
I love all of them. But while the jokes in the 3rd one can be a bit much, I feel like it has the most heart of all of them!
Also Kais music slaps!
Did Oak say he worked for Arnold Schwarzenegger?? That's dope!!
also am really unsure about the 4th cause am worried it could ruin itself
please do the short seriers about the 5's origin! its really good how they got together
hey guys! did you do Despicable Me yet? I'd love to see you guys watching that one! Love the channel! You're doing a great job, keep it up!
can’t wait for KFP 4 ❤🎉
Thus concludes my favorite DreamWorks Trilogy. The KFP2 will always be my favorite, but the action scenes and messages in this film were great and a fitting end to Po's journey. I'm curious where they're taking the story in the next film.
There were more lines from Monkey in this reaction than there was in the entirety of KFP1😂
