I love how when Po looked at the scroll, he said "it's empty". He saw a container waiting to be filled up. When TaiLung looked at the scroll, he said "it's nothing". He saw something that had no value.
The symbolism was insane too. All he had to do was accept and believe Po is the dragon warrior and train him into who he needed to be. Similar to the peach tree, he cant change the fact it is a peach seed but it will never grow into a peach tree unless he takes care of it
I like how everyone was so mean to Po, but looking back at the furious five’s stories they should remember from where they came from and how they started. Oogway was so chill with Po explaining him to not worry, it will only get better later. He was right. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it’s called the present.”
@@CLDJ227 Idk that bouncing joke seemed more like bullying. If this movie came out like 2 months ago then it would be panned for fat phobia, I can see it written in stars.
my absolute FAVORITE part of this movie is how Tai Lung escaped: with a feather from the messenger that MASTER SHIFU SENT. if he had only believed in Oogway's words and trusted that Tai Lung would escape somehow, HE PROBABLY WOULDNT HAVE. but because Shifu was so scared, he sent the poor bird there anyway and because of that simple mistake, HE ended up being the one to release his former prodigious pupil
Fun fact about Tigress regarding her teaching from Shifu: She was dangerously powerful, could splinter wood just by tapping on it. Shifu, having dealt with Tai Lung, showed her less affection because he felt she would become like him if Shifu raised her like his own child and not just a student.
The Shifu vs. Tai Lung fight honestly goes so hard. The sense of finality and emotional weight. The amazing shots, choreography and colors, along with great deliveries by the VAs. And that brief moment when Tai Lung is genuinely touched by Shifu's apology always gets me teary-eyed. Tai Lung is a great and tragic character who honestly deserved better. Some people have speculated that the 4th movie is going to be Tai Lung's redemption arc and I really hope that's true. The 3rd movie felt like a really good place to end the franchise, so when I heard that they were making a 4th one I feared that it would just be a cash grab that didn't add anything to the series. But exploring more of Tai Lung's character could honestly be a really good addition to the series, so I hope the rumors are right.
"All I ever did, I did to make you proud." Still pokes my heart man. Tai Lung worked so hard, for so many years, to be good enough for the one person he could call a father, with the promise he'd be the dragon warrior. But in the end, when Oogway decided against it, and despite all of those years of painful training and hope, Shifu easily accepted the outcome. He did not stick up for his own son despite all the time put into training Tai Lung to be someone great. I cant exactly blame Tai Lung for his anger. Destroying the valley was not good, but he clearly was put through a LOT of stuff because he was led to believe he could be something he was never going to be. And then during that moment of helplessness, when he was told he _couldnt_ be that something, Shifu did not make any effort to reason with Oogway even though Tai Lung was his adopted child....
Right. That line told me that in that moment it was more of Shifu not expressing how proud he was of TaiLung even if he wasn't the dragon warrior, instead of the fact that TaiLung was not the dragon warrior. I don't think it was something Shifu should have talked to Oogway about. Oogway can sort of tell the future so that was destined. What TaiLung really needed was Shifu to acknowledge him even if he didn't become what he was raised for. Tell him he was good enough and that all those years still mean something even if it wasn't what they intended. I wrote this in another comment but this is why TaiLung says "it's nothing" when he sees himself in the scroll. He didn't see value in himself cause he believes Shifu didn't either.
This movie was so good, the Chinese Government launced an investigative committee to figure out why American Studios were making better films about Chinese Culture than Chinese cinema. I'm not sure what the finding's where, but I have to assume Jack Black had something to do with it.
well western cast for voices but still kept intact the chinese philosophy and beliefs is why it's interesting for the western market while simultaneously keeping it delved with the english language and humor for better offshore understanding.
This movie had no expectations when it was first released and ended up becoming insanely successful. I'm really glad it did because it's without a doubt one of the best animated movies of all time.
You guys are some of the only the only ones I've watched react to this that seemed to understand what Po's "I'm not hungry." line signified, so props to you all on that!
Tai Lung is such a tragic character. His main purpose wasn't one he chose but one Shifu forced upon him. The name Shifu named him once adopted symbolized it, "Tai Lung translates to "Great Dragon". Tai Lung just needed his father's approval and guidance and not once did he get it. Shifu only apologized to Tai Lung when he was forced to, not once in all the years Tai Lung was imprisoned.
Fwiw, Shifu didn’t know what, specifically, to apologize _for_ . Yes, it’s on Shifu that Tai Lung though he’d be ‘somebody specific,’ but Shifu didn’t know where he went wrong (and likely _didn’t_ blame Tai Lung for not meeting the gold standard). And then, Tai Lung does something unforgivable, which retroactively _justifies_ Oogway saying no, and Shifu is left to stew in wondering whether it was something innate to Tai Lung he failed to see (because he saw him as a son), or if it was something he caused (by _seeing_ him as a son and making him dangerous). Apologies are kinda hollow when it’s unknown what it’s for.
Y’all are in for a real treat with KFP 2. The story, fight scenes and overall quality levels up from an already amazing movie to something one in a million
If y’all didn’t notice master Shifu didn’t smile in the movie except the flash back and after training Po this shows that he finally doesn’t have regrets about what he created(trained)
Yall missed something big! Tai Lung hasn't moved a muscle in 20 years! And as Soon as he got free, he beat everyone but po. He did that without resting one time TAI LUNG IS A PROBLEM!
Y'all boys definitely gotta react to the second. It's just as fire 🔥. The scroll symbolizes that you don't need anything to make you special, you being yourself is what makes you special. There's 3 films to this franchise and honestly it's one of the best films trilogies of all-time in animated movies.
Tai lungs position reminds me alot of endeavor and dabi he was trained as a child for 1 sole purpose then due to circumstances their entire purpose they've been living for is taken from them and they're left with nothing
The funny part is that Dabi was crazy lol. Tai Lung was just a warrior ruined by the wish that was taken from him. because he literally broke his bones because of a dream that was ultimately taken away from him. Dabi became evil because his father, who by the way openly loved him and was proud of him, told him that his power is too lethal to use and stopped training him since he knew that he could die due to carelessness hahaha nothing his father did to him was so hard. When Todoroki was born he simply tried to train him because he saw that his power had no openings and he wouldn't get hurt when using it haha Dabi went crazy because he was born mentally unstable he literally kllls the innocents and blames his father for that. like wtf bruh you blast the to death
The meaning behind the dragon scroll lowkey reminded me of the true relationship between a shinigami and a zanpakuto in bleach; your greatest power is you. "The Blade Is Me"
watching you all be so invested, especially the guy in blue who was so passionate about the symbolism, really brings me back. thanks for reaction to my fav childhood show :)
I went to see this twice in the cinema when it came out. Fucking amazing movie! Every bit of it is epic. Plot, characters, soundtrack everything! The second one is even better and I personally don't think the third one is as much as the first two, but it's still great 😁
Fax I might have to watch the third one cause I was a kid when I watched it. Hated the fight so I thought the movie was trash but I gotta give it a rewatch now that I am much older
The thing about tai lung is that he was essentially in solitary with only clearly abusive guards for company, as evidenced by the stomping on his tail and "1,000 guards, and ONE prisoner". Im pretty sure shifu didnt come and visit him ,his son, ONCE , in TWENTY FUCKING YEARS . The unlocking sequence showing him taking a deep breath also implies he was locked up tight enough/king fu nerve restricted or whatever that he couldn't even breathe right. a lot of people say that tail ling isnt a villain or whatever. I disagree. Laying waste to the valley and possibly killing people was wrong. But we should acknowledge that at every step of his life, adults seem to have failed him. Training intil your bones crack is likely not a good thing. When oogway said no, he couldve offered the wise advice he was so known for. Shifu couldve tried comforting him. Tai lungs actions immediately post dragon scroll are something he needed to take responsibility for, and he was,wether he liked it or not. Oogway and shifu didnt think . At all. They locked him up and threw away the key. legitimately would not hold anything tai lung did against him if it was after THAT prison. Again, essentially solitary,not one visit from your parents,you cant move a muscle, and the guards can apparently just freely beat you. Thats grounds for an insanity defense.
this movie is a masterpiece, and Tai lung is a perfect antogonist. An orphan abandoned, who was taken in by shifu and raised as his son. Kung Fu gave his life meaning. it gave him a reason to live even when his own parents didn't want him. His whole life he perfected his art in the jade palace, alone with Shifu. he learnt only how to destroy, how to become a weapon. So of course he's proud of his reason to exist! the reason he's alive and the reason he's loved by shifu. the problem was, unlike Po who learned unconditional love from his father before learning how to destroy, so unconditional that he doesn't even realize he's adopted. Tai lung knew only pride and destruction, his love from shifu was granted only when he showed progress in kung fu. that's shown by how he shatters his training dummies' rather then, simply train with then like po and the 5 do. He has no balance, no Ying and yang. that power is misunderstood as worthiness by Tai. so when Oogway denies him his destiny, his whole fucking reason to persist and train till "his bones cracked" every single day! he reasonably goes ape shit. especially since with just one word from Oogway, shifu, his father, idol and savior turns his back on him, his own son. man lost everything in ONE moment. And it absolutely was not his fault. he "laid waste" to the valley of peace ( let's assume that means kills a bunch of people) probably in a rage educed desperate attempt to show off his kung fu prowess, to prove he is the dragon warrior, maybe even only to himself to not go insane. to only then be sent to the bottom of a mountain, in solitary confinement, alone again for 20 FUCKING YEARS!!!! and on top all that he's considered a monster? nah son, Shifu's the monster! he's an immensely empathetic unloved victim of expectation. Unlike Shen and Kai who are just power hungry villains. i really hope KFP 4 gives tai his much deserved redemption, and shifu has to properly atone for his sins.
i guess your idea of a good villain is a shallow irredeemable punching bag then? god forbid an antagonist makes you question your morality.@@happythoughts8291
I agree that Shifu handled this terribly. He actually called him "Dragon", told him he was destined for greatness, never actually telling him the details of what a dragon warrior is/how this all works. That it's mainly destiny, and it doesn't matter how good at kung fu you are (probably Shifu himself didn't know this), as we've seen Tigress being the best of the 5 and still not becoming dragon warrior. And that frankly, it's only a title. Like, Tai Lung would have been amazing at defending the valley. Basically from everything. Instead he was raised with so little info that when he goes for the scroll he completely ignores Oogway. The current dragon warrior. He didn't even know he could fight.
Always sympathized with Tai Lung. Imagine training and being told YOUR ENTIRE LIFE that you're meant for this one thing, then being denied it with no objection by the person who made you believe all those things. While he's obviously a villain, you can understand why he crashed out
It's a great movie. I remember watching it as a kid, I had watched Dragon Ball Z so that made me like fighting but this movie might have made me like Martial Arts more growing up.
This is one of the best franchises in Dreamworks animated history. What happened to the other guy, I like seeing all five of them together when every they react to every show and movie 🎥
Some bit of symbolism I think is missed is after tai lung declares that the dragon scroll is nothing he throws it down and it shows po’s face. Po then explains that there isn’t any secret ingredient and “it’s just you”. Then it cuts back to the scroll showing po’s face in the reflection on the ground from tai lung’s perspective. It’s not you, it’s po. While the scroll showed po that the power was in himself, the scroll showed tai lung that he wasn’t the dragon warrior.
My brother and i are most proud of the fact that we got into karate/jujitsu lessons because of Jackie Chan. To this day we watch his classic stuff like Shanghai Noon and Around the World in 80 Days with Steve Coogan, both must-sees. I still wanna get a tiger mask, the 10 Tigers looked AWESOME :D
If you look carefully at Po vs Tailung, Po almost always uses counter style. Tai Lung is basically hitting himself the entire fight. At the end Po ads his strength and uses Wushi finger to crush him mortal Kombat style.
Tai Lung is a warrior who didn't deserve the treatment he got, he grew up thinking he'd become this legendary warrior if he only trained hard enough, and was disciplined enough, to learn everything he could, plus Shifu filled his head with dreams, pushed him in training, promising him that they would all come true if he hones his skills and abilities to the very limits, but when Oogway said NO, Tai Lung's world crumbled because it turns out that he had been struggling for so many years for nothing. He was furious and must have walked to the village because he was completely lost, or else he was telling everyone before how he was going to become a Dragon Warrior, and when he didn't become what he said he would become, maybe someone in the village angered him very easily, he was on the edge of snapping out of anger when he was rejected without an explanation, he just knew he wasn't good enough in Oogway's opinion. Later he spends twenty years in prison, immobilized, he finds out that someone is good enough, and then later he finds out that someone is good enough but is not trained, and disciplined nowhere near his level, Tai Lung is even more disappointed by seeing what was chosen instead of him. Now we don't know if Tai Lung rested at all on the way to the valley, but it seemed that he didn't, and at the end of the fight when he took the scroll and found out that what he was looking for was not written on some paper as he was led to believe, his tiredness finally caught up with him, and Po used his fat to win literally, and used this crazy move which he did not deserve, what's worse, there is no explanation or hint as to why he would know how to do this, he just realized how the move works (That's what I dislike most about the movie of all things). So Po kills this tortured warrior in the end, and if you ask me, Tai Lung did not deserve such treatment, and I believe he could of gone in a better direction if anyone cared, and gave him an actual chance, but NO everything revolves around Po.
I get what you mean. Most of the villains in the KFP universe could've had a better path. (Maybe the peacock even less so). But it was also explained that there was a darkness in Tai Lung that he would never have been the dragon warrior. He was prideful and he let anger cause his own destruction as well. Tai Lung's inability to accept that he can't be the Dragon Warrior was proof that he won't understand what the scroll meant. Shifu DID care, it's just that he didn't know what to do when Oogway himself said no. Instead of understanding that, he fully blamed Shifu when it was also partly the fault of something in him, if that makes sense. And the trilogy is about reclaiming what was once lost so Po being a panda makes sense. In this universe, pandas have always had natural affinity to kung fu. Sure, it wasn't explained how tf Po figured the finger hold out but that really wasn't the main point of the movie. I also would've preferred Tai Lung was kept alive but maybe his anger wouldn't have let him calm down. He couldn't even calm down when Shifu was apologizing so
@@also_Caati I see your point, but everyone has the potential to change and Tai Lung was definitely hard to communicate or reason with, but in his defense being locked up and immobilized in a place for 20 years and plus betrayed, that will keep hate in your heart for a long time. Tai Lung finally found out what he wanted to know for the past 20 years, but he couldn't understand it just like Shifu couldn't because in the scroll was not what is usually found in the martial arts scroll, and that would leave anyone speechless and confused, Tai Lung is not an unreasonable person he could change with time if he was given a chance and not life imprisonment, or death at the hands of some guy who recently entered the waters of kung fu. Tai Lung couldn't be a dragon warrior but he could stay alive as a martial arts master just as the members of the Furious Five, because Tai Lung is the same as Tigress, the difference being that Shifu didn't give his love and dreams the same way as he gave to Tai Lung, and that's why Tigress got time to accept her fate and was more self-controlled better because it wasn't put in her head that she would definitely be chosen, unlike with Tai Lung. And Shifu couldn't reach him even with an apology because it's not easy to forgive 20 years in prison in the moment just like that, and as far as Tai Lung knows he was sentenced to life in prison, and Shifu would never have tried to apologize before this moment in the movie.
My favorite villain in the series is Shen (Gary Oldman) from KFP2. At one point someone asks him if he'll be happy once he's subjugated the whole world and he says, "It's a start. I might also convert the basement into a dungeon." I hope you guys get around to watching that one.

All it took for him to be the dragon warrior was for shifu to believe he’s the dragon warrior 👀
Po had to believe he was enough as well. There is no secret ingredient.

An orphan abandoned, who was taken in by shifu and raised as his son. Kung Fu gave his life meaning. it gave him a reason to live even when his own parents didn't want him. His whole life he perfected his art in the jade palace, alone with Shifu. he learnt only how to destroy, how to become a weapon. So of course he's proud of his reason to exist! the reason he's alive and the reason he's loved by shifu. the problem was, unlike Po who learned unconditional love from his father before learning how to destroy, so unconditional that he doesn't even realize he's adopted. Tai lung knew only pride and destruction, his love from shifu was granted only when he showed progress in kung fu. that's shown by how he shatters his training dummies' rather then, simply train with then like po and the 5 do. He has no balance, no Ying and yang. that power is misunderstood as worthiness by Tai. so when Oogway denies him his destiny, his whole fucking reason to persist and train till "his bones cracked" every single day! he reasonably goes ape shit. especially since with just one word from Oogway, shifu, his father, idol and savior turns his back on him, his own son. man lost everything in ONE moment. And it absolutely was not his fault. he "laid waste" to the valley of peace ( let's assume that means kills a bunch of people) probably in a rage educed desperate attempt to show off his kung fu prowess, to prove he is the dragon warrior, maybe even only to himself to not go insane. to only then be sent to the bottom of a mountain, in solitary confinement, alone again for 20 FUCKING YEARS!!!! and on top all that he's considered a monster? nah son, Shifu's the monster! he's an immensely empathetic unloved victim of expectation. Unlike Shen and Kai who are just power hungry villains. i really hope KFP 4 gives tai his much deserved redemption, and shifu has to properly atone for his sins.
Wrote all this just to prove why he’s not the best villain
i guess your idea of a good villain is a shallow irredeemable punching bag then? god forbid an antagonist makes you question your morality.@@happythoughts8291

I agree that Shifu handled this terribly. He actually called him "Dragon", told him he was destined for greatness, never actually telling him the details of what a dragon warrior is/how this all works. That it's mainly destiny, and it doesn't matter how good at kung fu you are (probably Shifu himself didn't know this), as we've seen Tigress being the best of the 5 and still not becoming dragon warrior. And that frankly, it's only a title. Like, Tai Lung would have been amazing at defending the valley. Basically from everything. Instead he was raised with so little info that when he goes for the scroll he completely ignores Oogway. The current dragon warrior. He didn't even know he could fight.
Always sympathized with Tai Lung. Imagine training and being told YOUR ENTIRE LIFE that you're meant for this one thing, then being denied it with no objection by the person who made you believe all those things.
While he's obviously a villain, you can understand why he crashed out
Im so thankful for this reaction. One of my top five favorite movies of all time, no bull.
It's a great movie. I remember watching it as a kid, I had watched Dragon Ball Z so that made me like fighting but this movie might have made me like Martial Arts more growing up.
The fact somebody learned that you can banish people to another realm by flexing your pinky
Now I’m excited for u guys to react to kung fu Banda 2 that is my personal favorite one out of the trilogy
This is one of the best franchises in Dreamworks animated history.
What happened to the other guy, I like seeing all five of them together when every they react to every show and movie 🎥
one of my favs as a kid! holds up so well, the second is even better, the villain is voiced by THE GOAT Gary Oldman
Tai lung prison break is honestly the most badass prison break i've ever seen
For real! They made him as powerful and fearsome as possible, so that the stakes raised high.
Kung fu panda is a lit fight movie series lowkey🔥 combos be crazy
This was one of my childhood favorites just like HTTYD
Love Master Viper played by the lovely Lucy Liu and she reprised her voice for the animated series!
8:09 Rob was about to fall asleep lmao
Y'all are gonna love the next two Kung fu movies
Man they need to show that kung fu panda 4 trailer
“It’s blank”
“It’s nothing”
Po seeing himself versus Tai Lung seeing himself
Some bit of symbolism I think is missed is after tai lung declares that the dragon scroll is nothing he throws it down and it shows po’s face. Po then explains that there isn’t any secret ingredient and “it’s just you”. Then it cuts back to the scroll showing po’s face in the reflection on the ground from tai lung’s perspective. It’s not you, it’s po. While the scroll showed po that the power was in himself, the scroll showed tai lung that he wasn’t the dragon warrior.
ive been dreaming of this reaction thank you guys😭
My brother and i are most proud of the fact that we got into karate/jujitsu lessons because of Jackie Chan. To this day we watch his classic stuff like Shanghai Noon and Around the World in 80 Days with Steve Coogan, both must-sees. I still wanna get a tiger mask, the 10 Tigers looked AWESOME :D
Y’all gotta do all the kung fu pandas now how the story builds is crazy 😊
One of the best animated movies
LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR REACTION TO THE WHOLE TRILOGY❤
I still quote Oogway’s yesterday and tomorrow and today proverb.
I love this movie!! So much 🤩😍💖 thanks for your reaction
Just saw a theory that the Titan dog was actually foreshadowing for the kid and dog during the after credits
good thing they releasing a 4th movie next year and he’s coming back with the other villains 😁
the blue guy going "told you"and stuff and saying things that havent even happened on screen yet like hes clearly seen the movie 💀
Bro, Po didnt have to wuxi finger hold him, Tai Lung was already defeated.
If you look carefully at Po vs Tailung, Po almost always uses counter style. Tai Lung is basically hitting himself the entire fight. At the end Po ads his strength and uses Wushi finger to crush him mortal Kombat style.
The reaction to the wuxi finger hold from every reaction never fails to make me laugh lolol
I have to admit this is one of Ian McShane's best characters (an evil snow leopard) he's played
Dope reaction! You guys should watch 2 and 3 they're both fire too.
i just realised the foreshadowing that's shown after po beating tai lung
all this time i thought ti lung vanished somewhere he was in da spirit realm
I like how Oogway doesn't say that Tai Lung escaping is bad news he says, "That is bad news, if you believe the dragon warrior can not stop him."
We all need a Oogway in our lives😢
😂 Rob said "can't w8 to kickbox", he? With bad knees and legs like a straw? He will broke his legs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now we need to see them reacting to How to train your Dragon trilogy
Po was the first Hakai user before we got DBS and the reveal of Beerus. Think about it.
I mean technically Tai Lung won against him until he saw the scroll, he is def a top 5 villain out there
Tai Lung is a warrior who didn't deserve the treatment he got, he grew up thinking he'd become this legendary warrior if he only trained hard enough, and was disciplined enough, to learn everything he could, plus Shifu filled his head with dreams, pushed him in training, promising him that they would all come true if he hones his skills and abilities to the very limits, but when Oogway said NO, Tai Lung's world crumbled because it turns out that he had been struggling for so many years for nothing. He was furious and must have walked to the village because he was completely lost, or else he was telling everyone before how he was going to become a Dragon Warrior, and when he didn't become what he said he would become, maybe someone in the village angered him very easily, he was on the edge of snapping out of anger when he was rejected without an explanation, he just knew he wasn't good enough in Oogway's opinion. Later he spends twenty years in prison, immobilized, he finds out that someone is good enough, and then later he finds out that someone is good enough but is not trained, and disciplined nowhere near his level, Tai Lung is even more disappointed by seeing what was chosen instead of him. Now we don't know if Tai Lung rested at all on the way to the valley, but it seemed that he didn't, and at the end of the fight when he took the scroll and found out that what he was looking for was not written on some paper as he was led to believe, his tiredness finally caught up with him, and Po used his fat to win literally, and used this crazy move which he did not deserve, what's worse, there is no explanation or hint as to why he would know how to do this, he just realized how the move works (That's what I dislike most about the movie of all things). So Po kills this tortured warrior in the end, and if you ask me, Tai Lung did not deserve such treatment, and I believe he could of gone in a better direction if anyone cared, and gave him an actual chance, but NO everything revolves around Po.
broooo you perfectly described how i feel
Po figured out the move because he is a Kung Fu head.
@@williamdean4775 No he's not, it’s because the villain always has to die at the end of these movies.
I get what you mean. Most of the villains in the KFP universe could've had a better path. (Maybe the peacock even less so). But it was also explained that there was a darkness in Tai Lung that he would never have been the dragon warrior. He was prideful and he let anger cause his own destruction as well. Tai Lung's inability to accept that he can't be the Dragon Warrior was proof that he won't understand what the scroll meant. Shifu DID care, it's just that he didn't know what to do when Oogway himself said no. Instead of understanding that, he fully blamed Shifu when it was also partly the fault of something in him, if that makes sense.
And the trilogy is about reclaiming what was once lost so Po being a panda makes sense. In this universe, pandas have always had natural affinity to kung fu. Sure, it wasn't explained how tf Po figured the finger hold out but that really wasn't the main point of the movie. I also would've preferred Tai Lung was kept alive but maybe his anger wouldn't have let him calm down. He couldn't even calm down when Shifu was apologizing so
@@also_Caati I see your point, but everyone has the potential to change and Tai Lung was definitely hard to communicate or reason with, but in his defense being locked up and immobilized in a place for 20 years and plus betrayed, that will keep hate in your heart for a long time.
Tai Lung finally found out what he wanted to know for the past 20 years, but he couldn't understand it just like Shifu couldn't because in the scroll was not what is usually found in the martial arts scroll, and that would leave anyone speechless and confused, Tai Lung is not an unreasonable person he could change with time if he was given a chance and not life imprisonment, or death at the hands of some guy who recently entered the waters of kung fu.
Tai Lung couldn't be a dragon warrior but he could stay alive as a martial arts master just as the members of the Furious Five, because Tai Lung is the same as Tigress, the difference being that Shifu didn't give his love and dreams the same way as he gave to Tai Lung, and that's why Tigress got time to accept her fate and was more self-controlled better because it wasn't put in her head that she would definitely be chosen, unlike with Tai Lung.
And Shifu couldn't reach him even with an apology because it's not easy to forgive 20 years in prison in the moment just like that, and as far as Tai Lung knows he was sentenced to life in prison, and Shifu would never have tried to apologize before this moment in the movie.
Finally, the best animation I've ever watched in my life 🔥 KUNG FU PANDA 🐼
My favorite villain in the series is Shen (Gary Oldman) from KFP2. At one point someone asks him if he'll be happy once he's subjugated the whole world and he says, "It's a start. I might also convert the basement into a dungeon." I hope you guys get around to watching that one.
9:02 Referencing my favourite Jackie Chan movie, Snake in the Eagles shadow. Awesome
Yo I hope your leg gets better soon Rob! Great reaction I’m glad you guys liked it as much as I do
13:21 Patrick had me so weak right here 😂😂
This franchise is honestly the best I've ever watched, better than any other movie this triliogy is goated 🔥
Did Po imagine Tai lung as noodle because the way he was fighting it feels he was making noodles
His dad is also the voice of the old man on the movie Turning Red.
(At 23:25) Oh shit! I just realized something, Snow Leopards *eat* both Red AND Giant Pandas.
lol that daydreaming bar at the start, that song goes so fckin hard
Please do the other ones too. The second one is heat🔥🔥🔥
Po’s dad thought he had the noodle dream but he had the dragon warrior dream instead.
Yeah... Y'all NEED to go ahead and watch KFP2 and 3. Banger franchise!
Thank you for saying who hasn't seen it :)
This is the kind of film to watch during Chinese New Year! :)
16:30 Do you mean he looks like Flaco from Mexican Martial Arts?
Such an amazing trilogy
13:16 the time when oogway enter the cheat code 😂
