  • To follow up the legendary backstory of Master Oogway, today I am going through the devastating, depressing, and just sad backstory of Master Shifu. What happened that caused Oogway’s successor, the Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior’s teacher and mentor, to be so troubled, angered, and at war with himself? The answer lies in many betrayals by his father Shirong, his son Tai Lung, and the many friends he had in the Jade Palace.

    Oogway: _"Look at this tree, Shifu. (Indicates the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom) I cannot make it blossom when it suits me, nor make it bear fruit before its time."_
    Shifu: _"But there are things we can control! (Slams a fist into the tree, making several peaches fall around them) I can control where the fruit will fall! (Catches a peach, cuts it in half, takes the pit and slams it into the ground) And I can control where to plant the seed! That is no illusion, Master!"_
    Oogway: _"Ah, yes. But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach."_
    Shifu: _"But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!"_
    Oogway: _"Maybe it can - if you are willing to guide it, to nurture it, to believe in it."_
    Patience is a virtue, and we cannot control things that are beyond us. We must let things do what they do in their own time as nature does it too. Even a simple peach can teach us that. 🍑

      Those last two lines in particular have so much added meaning once you realize that, because Oogway was there to watch over, guide, and nuture kung fu and the Valley of Peace for so many years, the sacred peach tree was in tern able to give Oogway the strength he needed to stop the threat of other wordly demons attacking his home when he was at his weakest.
      So in this context, Oogway was actually speaking from past experience. He'd witnessed miracles like this first hand, so it's no wonder he was never distressed about the approaching threat of Tai Lung. It didn’t matter if it was a peach, a valley, or a Panda. If you were willing to put your heart and soul into guiding, nuturing, and believing in something or someone, that love would eventually be repayed back to you. Granting the strength & support you need to overcome your own personal demons (which is shown in how Po was able to help Shifu find inner peace and grow past his prior struggles and hardships, the most crushing of which being Tai Lung). Ultimately, the universe has a way of giving back to the selfless and the kind-hearted if you give it a chance, and don't internalize all the pain that life constantly throws at you. This realization early on is probably why Oogway was such a formidable force in the world, qnd why he never seemed to grow jaded, tired, or impatient with the betrayals and attacks he faced.
      Well... that's all my interpretation anyway, lol.

      Thanos nope if shifty truly wanted he could have stoped tai lung himself but his feelings got in his way. There is no such thing as a dragon warrior. Any one can be the dragon warrior. There is no secret ingredient. It’s just you.
      And yes tai lung did beat up master shifu (also surprising him due to how much tai lungs skills have grown) but only because shifu allowed it. This is evident to where shifu tells tai lung that he is sorry. Master shifu never wanted and intended to hurt tai lung. He is the reason tai lung became who he is. He also doesn’t have it in him to stop tai lung because to him tai lung is like his child. That is why po had to step in. He had to do what master shifu could not much like master oogway also stepped in many years before.
      Edit: plus shifu was sleeping it off by the end of the movie
      But then again this is just my opinion. There are many other ways of viewing it. That’s the beauty of this movie.

    Shifu's dad's betrayal/foresight and Oogway taking him in made him realise the power of genuine mentorship and how it can transform anyone which is almost the same as fatherhood. In KFP 3 we learn that the power of Chi can be harnessed by realising who you actually are. When he demonstrates his power to Po for the first time, it occurs right after he was passionately reminding Po of his purpose i.e. being a mentor/father figure... Even in KFP 1 , when Tai Lung faces him at the end, Shifu is still trying to reach out to him. A true teacher.

We praise brave fighters, but we also condemn them. And, there is only so much difference between the ones we praise and the ones we condemn.

    Honestly, when I was really/quite young, growing up, I watched the Kung Fu Panda movies and enjoyed them, as funny Kung fun movies. Couple years ago I went back and rewatched them… it was… a deeply enjoyable, beautiful, and somehow meaningful set of films. Each one had a pretty damn good message, with a lot more alluding to major back stories, histories, lore, and more in the world than I had ever caught on to. And when the second film came out? That film really set a tone of kinda… darkness, genuine darkness to the film series that I enjoyed a lot because it juxtaposed the goofy humor really well, and added some great depth. I will say, the main story lines of the three films themselves, taken at face value, are decent, but when you become aware of the backstory and lore, who and what the characters are, etc, it kinda becomes great.

    Just realized that the reason why Po was never "found" as the Dragon Warrior early on is because the only time he had a reason to go there was for the Day Oogway Chose AND because the time he food poisoned Shifu probably solidified that they would never order food from there again. So if Po was acting as the waiter that day rather than a chef, he could've made a delivery or two at the Jade Palace in his youth. Alas, it never came to be. That's also probably why the Five were so surprised by Po's cooking the first time they tasted it because they never got to taste it before as for the time they were first formed was the last time the Jade Palace ever ordered from the place for Shifu and, likely, his students. No accidents indeed. That allowed Po to only come when the world is in need and ready for him rather than way too early on and the Five were still in training. Meaning they're not yet the masters that Po would study and idolize and would one day help solidify his love for Kung Fu.
