Kung Fu Panda 2 - Movie REACTION!!

"He Fire Nation Airbender'd them?" "He Order 66'd them." I love how pop culture has allowed me to immediately understand what would otherwise be incoherent word salad.

I love Shen’s line about it being a parting gift “In that it will part you. Part of you here, part of you there, and part of you wayyyyy over there STAINING THE WALL.”

I swear, the flashback of Po's goodbye with his mom has to be one of the saddest and tearjerking scenes in not just animation, but of fiction.

Little detail: Po eats when he's upset. His mother hid him in a crate full of radishes. By the time it reaches Mr. Ping's shop, he's eaten them all.

It's amazing how this movie can make a peacock of all animals so scary. I've always considered Lord Shen the closest thing DreamWorks has to Scar, Disney's best villain. He's cold, calculating, his past directly ties in with the protagonist's, and there's so much depth to his character, plus Gary Oldman's performance is impeccable. I also love Po's struggle to find his true self and inner peace, and that "Po Finds the Truth" sequence in the panda village is so beautiful, yet so heartbreaking.

Fun fact that I never understood was never stated in the movie, but the dreamworks website confirmed that the soothsayer was Shen’s caretaker. Which not only explains why she has absolutely no fear whatsoever towards him, but also why Shen doesn’t outright kill her

Peacocks created fireworks, the very thing that quite literally propelled Po to fly into the ceremony and become the Dragon Warrior. Just impeccable writing

I love that Shifu went to battle thinking Po was dead. He was ready to kick some peacock ass.

"TAR AND FEATHER HIM!" "he's already feathered" "TAR HIM!!!"

I love the touch that Shen is also "a warrior of black and white". Po is the obvious subject of the prophecy, but it could also be Shen himself, seeing as his own actions lead to his downfall.

I quite like Shen's ending. He had one very last chance to change right at the death, listen to Po and stop the prophecy but refused to do so, and as he's about to be crushed he just closes his eyes and kinda accepts it, the prophecy fulfilled by his own foolish obsession. He had his own moment of "inner peace", just for a second at least. Shoulda listened to the goat!

“One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it” -Master Oogway. Perfectly sums up Shens character.

I cannot describe how much I love the fact Shen is a Peacock. They genuinely gave him such a good design and fighting style

It’s crazy to me how often Dreamworks sequels ended up being so good, even better than the first. This, Shrek 2, HTTYD 2, and Puss In Boots: The Last Wish are just so amazing. I think this was also a first time director, which makes it more impressive that it came out so stellar.

It's not that I hate Kung Fu Panda 3 and don't have a modicum of faith in 4, but the level of this 2nd part is Too High, it is one of the best sequels in animation and almost in history, the Villain is Fantastic, the animation is incredible, the voice actors are very good, especially Shen's, the comedy is very good, the soundtrack is outstanding, the fights are very dynamic, Po has a considerable improvement and his scene achieving inner peace is PERFECT

I think the thing about Tigress is that she has never received physical affection or love or anything of the sorts ever since she was adopted by Shifu. He was already hardened by Tai Lung back then right? So when she receives that hug, she didn't know how to compose herself so she just stood there shocked.

Personal Favourite moment, after the boat scene made sure to let us know, that the knuckles of Tigress have no feeling left (having punched trees), it shows us that Tigress FELT Po's touch when they were in the water.... Such a nice moment

The 2D artstyle shifting into 3D animation when Po’s mother leaves him is Po accepting that it happened. Everything prior is 2D because he’s unconsciously trying to deny the truth.

59:14 Y'know, they released a separate cartoon called The Secrets Of The Furious Five with all their back stories. It's only around 25 minutes long but it's actually really good and well worth watching. It gives a lot of context to the characters.

"Po find that the truth" is genuinely for me one of the best Ost in history, it starts so peaceful and then goes to terror, to calm and ends in the most epic and emotional way possible, it is a Masterpiece and the best of the entire saga

This is like without a doubt my favorite animated sequel of ALL time, beautiful music, great characters, great comedy/action, and an AMAZING Villain. Shen has got to be one of the greatest animated villains of all time. I'll always have this memory that when I was like 10 or 11 when my uncle took me to watch this in theaters and was so engrossed and I heard people around me actually tear up at the inner peace scene. And I'm glad how much Eric hated Shen just means this movie did a good job making him a despicable and evil villain

I LOVE this movie! Not just because of the story. Not just because of the music. Not just because of the animation. I love how the directors and writers had references recalling the first movie. One example is in the beginning when the kids were playing with the Po action figure and they say “enough talk, let’s fight!” Also the fact that Mr. Ping now sells tofu when he told Po in the first movie that selling tofu was his dream, but dropped it. But after he saw Po fulfilling his dream of learning KUNG Fu and becoming the dragon warrior, it inspired Mr. Ping to fulfill his own dreams. Incredible writing with one line of dialogue.

41:13 wait a tuning fork saving him was actually so genius considering they just robbed the music village I didn’t notice that

The moment everyone skips over is during the inner peace fight, po becomes a yin yang. It’s pointed out, but not expanded on. In that moment, he fulfilled the prophecy, and Shen’s eyes show his realization that it’s over. So cool

Po and the Five being friends, Shen's... everything really, Mr. Ping being such a good dad. I love this movie.

Technically Shen might be considered a warrior of black and white since he's a white peacock, he trained in marital arts, dagger and weapon combat, he bested two masters. This could be further implied as the travel/get ready montage was playing, it went to black and grey, and showed po/shen on opposite sides, then reverse/swap places to the ying yang symbol. Shows they are similar but also different. And he led himself to his own demise bc he wouldn't stop, po just avoided/dodged. He himself was his own undoing, he could've stopped he chose to keep going

56:22 just immediately put tears in my eyes. Why is it such a simple line but with such a profound impact on the heart strings. Damn good movie

3:52 C: Tar and feather him! >=[ A: He’s already feathered. T_T C: Tar him! >=[

The music in these movies is SO GODDAMN GOOD, like animation and VA and everything, but the music is *chef's kiss*

Genocidal Peacock who would have thought a peacock of all animals could be so genuinely evil

No one came into this movie expecting something so emotionally engaging, especially with the mom flashback scene. Best of the Kung Fu panda movies in my opinion, the score and emotional beats hit very hard, and with few words being expressed.

15:16 Sirius Black aka Gary Oldman voices Lord Shen and Martin Stein aka Victor Garber voices Master Thundering Rhino

WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!!! I was almost going to have a bad day but this has made things so much better. I havn't even started the video I'm excited and I look foward to seeing this reaction and watching along with you guys😁 THANK YOU

The soundtrack hits so much at 34:48, the brass is just epic, the Zimmer-Powell combo never disappoints.

KFP2 is definitely the best of the trilogy (quadrilogy?) And Gary Oldman had brought so much character to Shen, literally made him one of my favorite villains in animation.

Calvin making the noise of Po’s belly at 55:40 is why I watch Blindwave reactions. 😂❤

I love Fairy Godmother, I'm fascinated by Tai Lung and I really like Death, but Shen is still the best Dreamworks villain for me, he has it all, design, fights, voice actor, music, motivation, you can take him seriously , etc. It is so elegant but at the same time intense

I will always love the original, but Kung Fu Panda 2 is on another level, every fight rules, all the fun new characters, great villain, and the emotion is so well done. I love that a lot of it is Po working with the Furious 5. Their dynamic is the best in this movie.

This one and HTTYD 2 are the best sequel animated movies!!! I truly love this movie, specially with some details... When he DREAMED his parents and the attack to the village for the first time, it was 2D; because it was something of his "imagination/a dream" (as his dream in the 1st movie)... But when he finds his inner peace and truly accept what HAPPENED to his family, it is shown in 3D, because it has come his reality, a part of his life...

Mr. Ping is my fav character in the trilogy, just so wholesome and funny. And no one is immune to the Shifu hype when he showed up lol. Glad you guys finally saw this! Goated sequel.

I've been waiting for this ever since you guys reacted to the first one!

The scene of Po finding his inner peace never fails to tear my heart into a million pieces, and when he's moving the raindrop across his body and down onto the leaf, the constant transitions from 3D to 2D is so outstanding. Also, Po yelling at Shen from far away is always hilarious.

2:00 “Viper, monkey, mantis, crane and tiger.”😂 all hail the warrior five 😂

Not to long after seeing this in theatres I had a nightmare about my mom leaving me in a radish basket, that’s the power of great storytelling. God I love this movie so much even 13 years later! Also great reaction guys!

Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon are absolutely perfect trilogies

Kung Fu Panda one of the few trilogies where the 2nd movie generally is either equal to or greather than the first movie.

The flashback scene in the village will forever be one of my top scenes in cinema. The music, the art, the emotion in it all. It's so perfect

Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2 are some of the best animated movies to date. Really memorable and watchable by all ages. When I first saw this, I was still very young. Now I'm a grown ass man and can still sit and enjoy it. Sigh... unfortunately they just dont make movies like they used to anymore. Rip Golden Era. Awesome reaction guys. Loved every second of it.

This is honestly one of the best Sequels in the Dreamworks roster. It's not just a good movie but it does everything a sequel should do: Continue the story instead of repeating it, challenge the characters in new ways, expand on the world building and leave a lasting impact on the franchise. Plus, like any good sequel, it organically references the first movie in ways that tie well into this movie's story!

This movie has no right being this amazing. Like the moment at 50:40 is easily the coolest thing I've ever seen a protagonist do. Without a doubt the best of the 3, love the reaction guys.

One of the greatest animated movies ever made. From the cinematography, to the VA, to the colors, to the comedy, to the score, to the raw damn EMOTION! Now on to the third!

One thing I realized is that Lord Shen’s color scheme, while it has some red, is also black and white. The prophecy was that he would be defeated by a warrior of black and white, and he ended up dying to his own hand.

3:44 The thing is shen was actually pretty nice to the wolfes when he was still in the city and they were Royal guards so they had a lot of respect for him because of the kindness he showed and decided follow him willingly to help him do the genocide. They still were loyal and followed him after his banishment.

45:32 dont worry brothers We all cried at that scene too

The visual style of the flashbacks are so insanely pleasing to look at I was in awe when I saw it for the first time. Probably my favourite part of the movie

I like how the head mook is clearly outclassed by Po but still manages to trade blows with him consistently

I have been waiting for this so long please don’t take forever to drop the 3rd

Mr Ping, Po's dad, mentions in the first movie that he use to have dreams of making tofu but that he gave them up because that was ridiculous. In this movie he mentions that he sells both tofu and noodles, meaning that Po taught him he could follow his dreams!

Such a wonderful trilogy and a great sequel. Honestly can't wait for the 4th one, usually animated sequels are hard but this series earned it.

I'm surprised no one pointed out that in the first movie, everyone struggled to find Po's nerve points, but here the Soothsayer does it without any problem.

Still kills me that the silly panda movie has one of the most genuine, heart-wrenching, inspiring examples of a single dad raising a kid and being the Actual Best Parent Ever.

I think this movie has some of the most impactful shots in animation ever. Just the visual transitions between Po’s traumatic memories and him achieving inner-peace are beautiful enough to make this movie iconic. It is perfect cinematography that is especially noteworthy for an animated film. It can be hard to find and capture shots to their fullest within them and yet they went above and beyond. It is also magnificent storytelling that hits home the themes between Po’s past and his present. The flashbacks to scenes of the first movie, after Po was reminded of who he was, they are examples of how such scenes were made more powerful by realizing them at the perfect time and place; ultimately, it made the first movie even more compelling than it was before. My favorite one was bringing back the essential elements of the movie at the end where Po and the other masters had been blown away to the water. Everyone had lost the will to fight except for Po. Po stood on debris in front of Shen’s cannons and they shoot at him. In that moment we see a bird’s eye view of the color cannonball with fade in of the water droplet. The goosebumps you feel the first time watching this film is an unbelievably awesome experience. The visuals, the music, the story, everything.

I'm 40, I've seen all Kung Fu Panda movies several times and this one's my favourite. At 45:42 I started to get tears in my eyes and was like "oh man I'm such a crybaby I can't get all emotional to this" and on that exact moment 2 out or 3 guys wipe their eyes. Thank you for validating that it's still okay to get all chocked up even if it is an animated movie.

Gary Oldman's performance as Lord Shen is absolutely bone chilling

Tigress’s backstory along with all of the five are explored in Secrets of the Furious Five, highly recommend!

I like that Master Shifu was throwing shade at Po's Dragon Warrior inauguration whilst also explaining "Inner piece".

The ending with Po and his dad is so good, it threatens to make me tear up even after all these years

I was just watching their first reaction to the first movie and a literal hour after finishing it this is uploaded. Thank the lord

I had a bad day and was crying jn but this genuinely made me so happy. Thank you guys so much

You have no idea how happy I was to see this video pop up!

56:57 Aww, he even brought home his Panda Doll.

Aaron so quick with it!! “Peacock blocked” 😂 I just love blindwave each personality completes everything!!!!

I think the fireworks factory part is my favorite because once Tigress finds out Po is in danger, she is BOOKING IT to save him. You can really tell how close they've gotten in 2 and 3.

We saw some of Tigress' backstory in regard to Master Shifu and Tai Lung, how she trained constantly in an attempt to be as strong as Tai Lung because she felt constantly compared to his memory by Master Shifu.

This one really gets me every time. Between all of the stuff with Po's dad to Tigress... but especially whenever Po is experiencing inner peace. I'm not even _remotely_ embarrassed to admit that I tear up every time, even during reactions. As much as Jack Black is a generally comedic actor, he really can pull off some amazing intensity. Even when he's longing for peaches, or asking to be hit one more time. As for Lord Shen, Gary Oldman did a truly phenomenal job with the character. You see the ruthlessness... but you also feel like he feels that he doesn't have a choice but to seize everything that he was raised to feel is not only his right... but his obligation. He was made to believe early in his life that he not only should rule, but had to rule, and all of the terrible decisions he makes are because of that immovable belief. When Po confronts him at the end and makes him realize that it is possible to make his own choice, the choice that he makes isn't to fight... it is to die... because that is the only way that he can escape from the desperate need to control and direct everything in his world. I believe that is why, as the cannon is falling on him, he doesn't try to escape (which, given his speed and agility, I believe he would have well been capable of) but rather closes his eyes and calmly accepts death. Either way, that's my take on all of this.

Perfect for the Lunar New Year! Kung Hei Fat Choi, Blindwave!

20:44 if you want to learn about tigeress's backstory for your next reaction, its in a kung fu panda special collection. The first is called 'secrets of the furious five' which covers tigress's early life as well as the rest of the team, and 'secrets of the scroll' covers how the furious five were formed.

Yay! My fave Kung Fu Panda villain Lord Shen!

I swear I have been waiting for this to come out and it is so beautiful how you guys describe this movie. I still go to this movie when I need a good cry

I absolutely love how much Eric loves these movies

Omg I've been waiting for your reaction to this for soo long!! What a nice surprise!

Shen is probably the best Kung Fu Panda villain in terms of how much impact he had on the main character's story.

I always love how much emotion you guys show, for first time watchers of everything that you watch

so crazy that youtube recommended me yesterday them watching Kung Fu Panda 1, and today they released this video... perfect timing wow haha

I get in tears everytime his backstory and tiger's friendship and attaining inner peace comes up

I was just thinking that I wanted to see you guys watch the second movie and was surprised to see you had just uploaded it!

You guys are AMAZING for keeping Po's Inner Peace scene mostly intact! 👏👏👏

This is such a good movie. Perfect from end to end. Every rewatch makes me appreciate the level of care and detail alone. The choreography of the action scenes is so creative.

I find it amazing that you were able to upload close to the whole movie

Yes i am so happy! I love this movie (and whole trylogie) so much Also 59:55 Eric went Renegade 😂it shows how good the story is when you get so invested in it.

This is the best surprise after a long day of work, I’m so excited! Love this movie and watching you guys experience it!!

Man, I feel old. I remember seeing this movie in the theater. I'm so happy that they are watching it. (So much that I had to come back and rewatch this after work)

This movie is such a tearjerker I remember seeing this for my birthday in theaters the owner let me press the projector button to start the movie it was very cool! I can’t wait for them to watch the third movie! These movies have a special place in my heart 💜

For Tigress' backstory, I think they made a TV special that covers it. I remember there being a few TV specials that played during holidays on ABC that are movie quality.

I heard somewhere that Shen is Albino, because HE is the Warrior of Black and White as he met his end because of his own actions. That may be wrong, I'm not sure.

Mr. Ping is my favourite character in this series. His unconditional love for his son is wonderful.

This is my favorite animated movie for the past three years. I grew up with this film and it has been close to my heart ever since!

Thanks for including so much of the music, which I think is really well done. Most reactors cut the music out of the action scenes because they are worried about copyright.

If yall want to know there backstories there are these king fu panda shorts y’all can also watch that I think are pretty cool. And canon
