    i always feel bad for Tai Lung. brought up from basically birth to be the dragon warrior. constantly told he would never fail and would be the greatest. like he says "trained me till my bones cracked". how many years of hard work did he do training under shifu? how much pain did he suffer? he was filled with thoughts from someone else that he would be the best among us. a mythical being of legend. we see this happen to many golden children who get treated like a demi god only to fail at something then hit rock bottom. the way the movie makes it out to be after Tai lung did what he did he was thrown in prison. not one time did Shifu visit him. he was left for years in a dark pit. dealing with i assume abuse from the guards. abandoned by his father. Tai Lung is not only a Villain but also a Victim.

      @SeanBoyce-gp 3 месяца назад +2

      Even if the guards were kind or even indifferent to him (and there's visual evidence they weren't), being suspended in paralyzing agony for years seems...rough. Now, it's possible that his sentence escalated because he kept hurting people trying to escape and so the paralyzing harness didn't come along until later.
      The scene of him confronting Shifu is so mid-century Wuxia cinema combined with some real character moments.
      I believe that Shifu couldn't bring himself to visit Tai Lung because of his shame and disappointment. it would have been as much disappointment with himself as a failure for not teaching Tai Lung better, which would have doubled down every time he thought of his former student (constantly, with Tigress present).
      I alwso love that it's an echo of Oogwai's proclamation: one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. By hiding from his shame and disappointment to avoid metaphorical pain and destruction, Shifu faces the threat of physical pain and destruction when he is ultimately forced to confront his shame and realize it's too little, too late.

    • @borjankosarac3645
      @borjankosarac3645 3 месяца назад +5

      There’s other lore reasons for it, but Oogway recognised that Tai Lung had no self-belief; his arrogance was merely a front for his own insecurities and he thought the Dragon Scroll would complete him, but in reality he never would have been satisfied. Not with what it was, and not what he thought it was…

He should have taken his sons side. Ask why. Shifu did nothing. Like once he was denied by oogway shifu is suprised and never talks about it. Never visits tai lung. Oogway is also in the wrong. He kept tai lung in the prison about 20 years for no reason. He could have sended him to the spirit realm himself. He kept tai lung there so that po can complete his training.

    I've always found Master Oogway's death/Transcendence to be incredibly beautiful, and I love how his entire charachter embodies the philosophy of Taoism perfectly. His name comes from the idea of Wu wei, or "effortless action," The idea that through meditation, clear thought, and even inaction, one can achieve perfect harmony in all things. Basically a "go with the flow" type of perfection of letting the nature and will of the universe guide you rather than using conscious thought.
    That's why Oogway is so entirely nonplussed by Po landing right in front of him and becoming the dragon warrior. In Taoism, there are no accidents. There is simply the natural flow of the universe guiding everyone. I think that Oogway, who we've seen has the ability to defeat Tai Lung easily, chose to remove himself from the equation entirely so he could give Shifu and Po the chance they needed to achieve their own form of mastery.

    You know.. in latin spanish, when Tai Lung complains about the training to Shifu, the voice actor really give him a tone where you can feel the saddnes, feeling of betrayal and anger because of him not doing anything, that you feel sad for Tai Lung in that moment.
    In English it only transmits anger.

  • @tehdipstick
    @tehdipstick 3 месяца назад +62

    Personally speaking, I love the touch that when Po first realizes the scroll is empty, apart from showing him his own reflection, he says "it's blank", hinting that even without the knowledge he expected to find in the scroll he sees himself as a blank slate that can be filled. Meanwhile, when Tai Lung sees his own reflection in the otherwise empty scroll, he says "it's nothing". Even after having become the first person to ever master all one thousand scrolls of kung fu, Tai Lung still sees himself as nothing without the knowledge of the dragon scroll.
    Another great detail showing how much Shifu built Tai Lung's purpose and destiny up to becoming the Dragon Warrior is his name. Tai Lung translates to 'Great Dragon'.
    It also tracks that Po is extremely food-motivated. In nature pandas spend 90% of their waking hours eating.

    • @samuelvincent557

      I, also, love that at the end, after Po tries to sit and meditate with Shifu, then asks if he wants to get something to eat, Shifu says yes. It showed that he was not stuck in his way anymore, and was willing to share in Po's way, instead of making Po sit silently like him.

    Tai Lung's name roughly means: The Great Dragon. In addition he was designed to parallel mythical heroes which is why he has gold eyes (the color the film associates with heroes (hence the Dragon Scroll)). Also he's a Snow Leopard because they are predators to both the Giant Panda and the Red Panda. Oh and young Tai Lung's VA is the director's, then 6yr old, son.

    This is why you gotta give respect to Po's dad, both Tai Lung and Po were adopted. Yet, Po recieved such pure constructive and unbiased love from his father. Yes, his father would have loved for Po to be a noodle man, but never forced it on him. His room is adorned with all his interests and favourite things and when he realizes Po doesn't want to follow his direction, he loves him just as much.
    Meanwhile, Shifu loved Tai Lung in a very toxic way, he wanted to mold him into this perfect warrior and did not allow Tai lung to explore his own interests. He filled his head with things that weren't even set in stone, telling him he's destined for greatness. Without specifying that Tai Lung is already great just for being born, just trying his hardest is great. He sheltered Tai Lung and when Oogway rejected him, he didn't even comfort his son. Tai lung didn't have a real purpose in life or a place he still belongs, he was still an orphan while Po had a real family.
    After the rejection, Shifu should have left the Jade Palace with Tai Lung. Not forever, but clearly Tai Lung needed to experience a world outside of Shifu's control to finally find himself. He didn't even know why he wanted to be the dragon warrior, he just had to be it. Just as he took Po to train, Shifu should have left with Tai Lung.

    I remember going to see this in theaters when I was 13 years old. It definitely had me laughing, but I also almost cried when Master Oogway passed. It was a beautiful way to go, and the music elevated what I felt.
    Then of course my favorite heartwarming moment was when Mr. Ping told Po about the secret ingredient. There’s no secret to success. The moral is that you just have to believe in yourself. There’s no cutting corners to success. You are your greatest weapon.
    And people may laugh about Po being Mr. Ping’s son, but family isn’t always about blood. Po didn’t grow up alone. Mr. Ping raised him, and that makes him his father. James Hong is always a win.

    It’s not revealed until Kung Fu Panda 3 that the Wuxi finger hold doesn’t kill mortals per say but it does banish them to the spirit realm, so the answer to your question is ‘No, Tai Lung isn’t dead, he’s just trapped in the spirit realm where he can no longer threaten the valley.’

    He's the quintessential essence of Kung-Fu.. using what you have to your advantage. In the last battle he used all the things he learned through out his experiences. Using the woks in a cup game with the scroll was reminiscent of Shifu with the dumpling. Using a tree as a weapon or the firecrackers? All things he used to try and get into the festival area at the beginning. He literally is using the most powerful tools one can have in their arsenal.. knowledge and experience. He dreamed of being a warrior, and he had it in him all along.. he just needed to believe in that.

    This movie is full of jewels.
    - First and foremost, as Xyran Zhao says, there is this exemplary conflict of Taoism vs. Confucionism in Wugwey vs. Sifu.
    - This is not the first work we have of Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu together. They made Shanghai Noon too.
    - Also, this idea of "getting what you are good in and turn it awesome" is kinda of a trove in some kung fu styles. Even Bruce Lee's Jet Kune Do walks this path sometimes.
    - Maybe ironically, have actual masters struggling to win against complete unknowable people happens in chess. Professional players know how to win easily when faced by other competent players. When faced against people who barely know the rules, they still much probably win, but struggle a lot more. Same thing Tai Lung faces when fighting against Po. He has no idea how to win someone whose blows don't work upon.
    - IMHO, the actual plot twits of the movie, is that Tai Lung is the victim of the story. He was virtually tortured and had no other life goal besides being the dragon warrior. Sifu and Wugwey are the actual villains for making him what he became. Sifu for doing it, and Wugwey for his taoist approach in "doing nothing about it".

      and he spared the messenger, because he needed him to spread the word of his return..
      and by the way, tai lung never mastered kung fu,
      he excelled at the ways of the exterior kung fu, thechnic, strenth, agility and focus
      but completely neglected the inner ways of kung fu, theself discipline, thecalmness and the acceptance....
      so because of that, he truly was not worthy of the dragon scroll.

      Again, no civilians harmed. Probably because of PG-13, but doesn't seem to me he was killing people around. Even the people around him in the flashback only flee scared of him, but even Tai Lung blows seem more aimed to furniture than actual people. So... His villainous act is... Vandalism?
      If he didn't kill people on screen, he simply didn't. The movie doesn't seem scared to showing it since Tai Lung himself is killed at the end. Also, probably not the better idea to go in a killing rampant for the title of dragon warrior. But yes, I give your conter theory some credit. He probably un alived a lot of people.

After some time/quests/journey later? It maybe could be an interesting journey of redemption but they killed him before that. It could even (maybe) be easier than teach Po from the 0.

    I love this movie, and Jack Black did a fantastic job of bringing Po to life.
    When it comes to the fight between Po and Ty Lung, it reminds me of an old saying. "The greatest swordfighter does not fear the second greatest. He fears the worst." Po's style was a complete unknown to Ty Lung. It was, mostly, stuff that Po was making up as he went. Improvising with whatever was around him, and using his strengths against Ty Lung. His resilience, his rubbery flexible body that allowed him to shrug off and even redirect attacks. Ty Lung had mastered the 1,000 scrolls. Learned everything his masters had to teach him. He knew every attack, it's colunters, and the counters to those. That was why he could take on the five, he could predict everything they were going to do, after watching them fight for a few minutes. But Po couldn't be predicted. And Po was so new, that he couldn't read an opponents future moves, he just reacted in the present.

    So there is no secret ingredient for the Dragon Warrior. Aside from darkness in your heart which is literally something everyone has. Tai Long worked so hard his entire life to become the Dragon Warrior and to make his father proud. As a result he molded himself into the perfect vessel for the dragon warrior. But because he had darkness in his heart Oogway denied him. At that point Tai Long had wanted to become the dragon warrior and do genuine good but Oogway didn't even give him a chance to overcome his darkness or even help him overcome it. He just said "no sorry all of your hard work was for nothing and I won't help you overcome your darkness so you can be worthy" Anyone in their right mind would be pissed off beyond belief. Oogway essentially pulled the pin on the grenade that was Tai Long's darkness and made it a danger. Fun fact that imagery of him attacking the village was added in last minute otherwise more people would have been on his side. And when Oogway stunned him they didn't even try to help him or change him (or confront him while he was attacking the village). Both him and Shifu could have kept him in line if he tried anything else. But no they just said screw this guy just let him rot in a horrible prison for 20 years and not even give him the privilege to move a finger. And when Po has him beaten and barely able to move what does Po decide to do? He decides to skadoosh him into oblivion despite the fact that he doesn't have the strength to fight back anymore. Yeah no Tai Long was done so dirty.
