But the cannon ball scene from part 2 gave me goosebumps

Yeah, but his entire story is so disturbing that reveals that the actual villains are Shifu and Oogway.

@@Jeremy-san97 it gets better when you realize that tai chi and kung-fu are largely based on direction and redirection of energy, both in the physical sense and the spiritual.

@@alcambio8923 no. Oogway had to refuse him because he was not good at heart and easily corruptible. Tai Lung brought it to himself.

@@chaitanyagupta6668 a flaw of oogway Is that his cryptic ways are very easy to misinterpret and would frustrate anyone.

YESSSS AHHH Agreed! XD

A raise??? They deserve a promotion!!!

I don't know how true it is but I remember reading that they literally created the character for Jack Black. He was their first and only choice

Same for casting Gary Oldman as Lord Shen

And "Jaded" from kfp3 👀👌

Kung Fu Panda 3 is the best in the franchise, disagree if you like men.

@@KFP_Fanboy I firmly disagree with you. KFP 3 is the weakest of the franchise. Not because of his themes and meanings, but because of… I want to say the rythm. Where the themes helped the narration in the first two, it’s holding it back in the third. Most of the time spent in the panda village feel like wasted time. Of course we know it’s important to Po, but everything lacks dynamic during this act. I started reviewing this movie skipping the part where he is at the village before the training, and sudddenly loved this film !

@@Brotried97 You didn’t see Cosmodore’s video on Kung Fu Panda, did you?

@@Brotried97 the 3rd film was more of a closing to Po's story, I think it barely crossed the mark to be memorable. Po basically is the best version of himself so where more could he go? Chi, but chi is just like a stepping stone, Po got stronger physically, and mentally, and now to teach others. When he teaches the village it comes to help him when all of them give chi to Po with their respect for him or something I dont know.

@@bush3126 No, he fulfilled his destiny by saving China and thats what the 3rd movie shows

I grew up watching Jackie Chan Adventures, that's how I mainly know who Jackie Chan is.

Even though he has like 10 lines in the whole trilogy?

M4fps Tigress is also her own animal name

Monkey hardly even had two lines of dialogue in the first movie

nah... mr. ping is the best

And I like her Development. She becomes friendlier with every movie

Tigress is the most fleshed out of the furious five. This is too easy of an option 😂

But look what she got now , she is on one of the most power master 👍

what gets me in that scene is Shifu's change in expression when Po says "it hurt". All this time, Shifu's kind of delighted in hurting Po: threatening the wuxi finger hold, letting him fall into the training grounds, throwing him down the stairs. In that scene alone, he uses Oogway's staff to hit Po three times. "It hurt" is the pivot line, where Shifu actually takes ownership of his own failings as a master. The only other scene where Oogway's staff is used as a weapon, incidentally, is when Tai Lung uses it against Shifu.

Exactly. I love that little moment of realization from Shifu. Before, Po had always just played off all of Shifu’s bullying with humor. He never admitted to how much it hurt him. So Shifu keeps ignoring it and taking out all his frustrations on Po like a punching bag, trying to break his spirit, basically ignoring the cruelty of his own actions, dehumanizing him. In that moment, the reality of Po being a _person_ that Shifu hurt, not some stubborn pest Shifu wanted to get out of the way, not a joke, not an object to direct his frustrations at, a person- hits Shifu. And how cruel everything must have been on Po sinks in, too. Finally, Shifu realizes how cruel he’s been, and sees from Po’s perspective. And all without one word having to be spoken.

yeah and shifu finally after denying it for so long said I can and will teach you because he saw in po the right stuff not to quit and after hearing his reasoning for why he didn't it just validated what he already felt..

All of you are going WAYYY too deep about one scene in an animated panda movie.

@@sindraygd7787 so?

Tigress was my gay awakening. The thing that makes her so successful as a character both in design and in writing is that she was made to be _Tigress_ and not a femme fatale trope. I think generally people find people more appealing than tropes, if that makes sense

Exactly.

Perfectly said

@@KFP_Fanboy Don't worry my fella.

Another one is Shen killing the pandas

Treaty of Versailles in a nutshell

​@@shagarumedicDamn, that's the most true word ive ever seen

Agreed. For me my favourite character in the trilogy is Lord Shen enjoyed every moment they where on screen and the backstory he had that never made it into the films is also very interesting. Whats your favourite character?

The third was pretty bad

Yeah, the second is actually my favorite movie of all time. But in my opinion the Third was horrible. It had a poorly developed villain, there were way too many corny jokes, the pandas being useless in the beginning was an unsatisfying subversion of expectations, and Po mastering Chi didn’t feel earned. Not to mention, the soundtrack was kinda lackluster. The third movie had the potential to be so much more.

@@majykmarker9411 I totally agree, but for some reason my friends and family really liked( probably for the pandas ), but I suppose the ideas in the movie were good, but the execution felt Meh! In comparison to the second one.

Maybe because the third one wasnt that great

Tai Lung saw something - himself. You can see the reflection in the movie. Tai Lung lacked understanding - there was nothing special about the scroll, only about himself. Thinking the scroll had magical, mystical properties, he couldn't see what was before him.

Snarf McDreary What I meant was when he looked into the scroll he did see himself, but he what he said was he saw nothing. Ergo he was nothing

Zee

@@Joawlisdoingfine That's the most retarded logic I've seen in a long time. Of course Tai Lung saw something - a reflecting piece of paper. What he OBVIOUSLY meant is that there was nothing ON IT. Jesus fking Christ.

Snapper Reviews PREACCCHHHH

Kung Fu Panda is also my Kindergarten movies!

Did you guys think kung fu panda 4 should be about po learning something like ultra instinct

That's some pretty good writing for someone at your age :-)

Ratigan2 What? He would be around sixteen years old now if he watched the original in Kindergarten. What are you on about?

I love your analysis! I also want to add that like Tai Lung in the first movie, she was being primed to become the dragon warrior, though I don't know if anyone said it outright. Unlike Tai Lung, she had the humility to accept the role given to her. Regarding Tigress acting like she doesn't care, I bet it's because Shifu never gave her affection as a child, so I consider Po as the one who taught her how to be a friend.

Tigress is Luke Skywalker, Tai Lung is Anakin Skywalker, Sifu is Obi-Wan, and Oogway is Yoda.

@@sabo5849 Yeah I have to side with HTTYD on this one. Kung Fu Panda is a great trilogy but I personally believe HTTYD is better. Part of the reasons is in my opinion Dragons > Pandas.

Here comes my super unoriginal reply He is a panda full of fat He will smack you like a bat But most importantly, He is gonna need a hat

stop making me cry challenge

Kung Fu Panda 3 is the best in the franchise. In Kung Fu Panda 2 (the favorite of most people), Lord Shen attacked the panda village, but there was nobody to save them. In Kung Fu Panda 3, Kai attacks the village and Po has to save them. You cannot say that's not the most genius idea for a third installment of this franchise. One thing that people hate about this movie was the “disappointing” villain defeat. But I don’t think people exactly understand it. Po had the chi of all the pandas and his own chi. Kai usually takes the masters’ bodies along with the chi, but he didn’t when Po gave his chi to Kai. That’s why it was too much. He took the chi of a whole village pandas and a “Kung Fu Panda” at a time without their physical forms. It makes sense, people overthink it. Also, at the beginning, Oogway told Kai "The more you take, the less you have." Then what happens? Kai dies from taking too much. Also, Po was taught kung fu with food. Then he taught the village of pandas with their talents. The whole "turn you into you" thing wasn't a callback to the beginning of the movie, it was a callback to the beginning of the franchise. The first Kung Fu Panda. Most people like Shen the most, but General Kai is the best villain in my opinion. He may not have been intimidating, but he had really great villain lines. When Shifu said "Oogway, forgive me." Kai held up the chi of Oogway and said "What do you say, Oogway? Do you forgive him?" Also, his music was obviously the best villain music in existence. Not to mention his weapon, fight style, or entrances. Also, the first two villains were chased by Po and the Furious Five. But Kai would find Po no matter where he went. Po even said “There’s nowhere to run.” Kai felt very unstoppable, which was kind of intimidating. Another thing I like about Kai is that he was the only villain that never underestimated Po. When Tai Lung met Po and found out he’s the Dragon Warrior, he said “You? Him? He’s a panda. You’re a panda. What are you going to do, big guy? Sit on me?” When Lord Shen met Po, he asked Soothsayer “Do you actually believe this is the warrior destined to defeat me?” But when General Kai met Po, he said “You must be the Dragon Warrior.” I don't even need to talk about comedy, action, or animation in this movie. Everyone already agrees that comedy, action, and animation in Kung Fu Panda 3 is better than in first two movies. A lot of people complain that the Furious Five didn't do much but I think I need to remind people that this movie is in the Kung Fu Panda franchise. Not "The Adventures of the Furious Five" franchise. I was happy seeing the Furious Five get a lot of spotlight it Kung Fu Panda 2, the movie wouldn’t be half as great without that. But I am extremely happy that they didn’t do the same thing for Kung Fu Panda 3. But I don't get how people think this is the worst or second best in the franchise. I think it's better than Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2 combined.

@@KFP_Fanboy I actually love all of them equally as this franchise is one of my all-time favorites ever

Also, “Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but look at you now! You got fame [correct me if I’m wrong there], you got Kung fu, and you got noodles!” I love the parallelism there between the Soothsayer’s and Pong’s lines

Jay. I wonder what kung fu panda 4 is going to be about.

Lamborghini 123 nothing because there won’t be one

@@z_6077 It's been confirmed their may be a fourth film. It'll most likely be a passing on the torch from Po to another, just as Master Oogway did to Shifu, and as Master Shifu did to Po. Neatly ending off the series.

the magic to kung fu panda is its philosophy and how like everything it comes back to love ...pos parents love of him led him to be loved by his goose step dad who couldn't just leave him which led him to care for others on his path rather than resent life being alone and in the end that care and his bonds saved the day in the third film as it connected them all since love can't be overcome or defeated it always wins out in the end when its pure because it has no selfish agenda its just a force that exists in reality and always wins out...

I couldn’t see any reason why they’d bring Shen back. That being said I would probably break down into tears if that were to happen. Source on Shen being weak and sickly in his youth?
