PO's FATHER IS ALIVE?! First Time Reacting To KUNG FU PANDA 2 | Group Reaction | MOVIE MONDAY 

Shen is an *leucistic peacock, so he was probably born with feet deformities, thus the metal claws and weapons catered to his feather colors.

That "Po Finds the Truth" sequence is so beautiful, yet so heartbreaking.

If you think about why PO gets saved so often, he still *just* learned Kung Fu a while ago but he's already keeping up with all those Masters who trained their entire life

"Shen was weak" *Takes on two kung-fu masters at once and only gets stopped by the third* Nah man, Shen was a threat from start to finish

One of the best animated movies of all time EDIT: Tai Lung was a physical opponent but Shen was a mental one, that's what makes him great just in a different way. Also not even close to all of the Pandas survived, since Shen would have had to see a lot of bodies to come to the conclusion that he killed them all (which is what he thought until he found out about Po)

Po's mother and her sacrifice always gets me. 😥

FACT: Tigress was an orphan who was taken in by Shifu. “The Hardcore do understand.”

People came to the translation that Shen defeated himself, but there's a difference between defeat and death. Po defeated shen by destroying his weapons, dismantling all that he had worked to accomplish where he stood alone. He was defeated by Po. Then, in his refusal to accept his defeat, he ended himself.

Not even ashamed to say that I was counting down the seconds till this released

Lord Shen is the best villain out of the full trilogy they made his story and end amazing

Shen is gangster and definitely one of my favorite animated villains!! While I can appreciate physical foes, the mental/phycological ones really are the more scary, unpredictable and interesting ones, in my opinion.

I can see why you guys are a little annoyed by how Po is kind of portrayed as “weak.” But I think it’s important to note that he has different strengths than the rest of the Five, and that a lot of the time he’s played up for laughs. When he’s taking things seriously (or at least as serious as Po can be) he’s incredible. Also, a personal theory of mine is that Po has a very specific mindset he needs to be in to succeed. You can see it in this movie and the next one, even in the previous one. When he’s “in the zone” and content, he outstrips them all. But if he’s emotionally unbalanced (like he is nearly the ENTIRETY of this film) he struggles to focus on his training and fighting in general. It’s how he goes from basically stomping Tai Lung in the first movie, to losing to Tigress in this one. I’d also point out that from what we see of the Tigress vs Po fight, he doesn’t directly attack her and instead tries just to get past her, so he’s obviously not trying to hurt his friend. You could argue Tigress isn’t either, but she knows Po can take what she can dish out, and honestly she has that sort of tough love thing going on, so I don’t think she’s holding back too much.

17:10 that scene when mantis said about his mother eating his dad before he was even been born is the cycle of how mantises do populating their kind

The first time I watched this movie, I was late to the theater and arrived just after Shen's backstory was explained. Not knowing made the scene at the destroyed panda village hit that much harder. Still my favorite film of the trillogy.

if it hasn't been mentioned, the furious five represent fighting styles used in southern chinese martial arts (viper, tiger, praying mantis, monkey and crane)

Nice reaction! Personally, I liked Shen more than Tai Lung as a villain. Maybe he was weak physically because of his illness, but it was smart to play it safe and fill this gap with weapons and strategies. One more thing I liked about him is how cruel he was, he was actually the first ever dreamworks character to kill someone on screen and that someone was his most loyal soldier -with no hesitation too-, he is the only DreamWorks villain to be considered pure evil aswel. But besides all that, what I liked most about Shen is how at the very end, he just closed his eyes, accepted his fate, and felt almost relieved that all of this will come to an end and that he will finally find what he had desperately been seeking for all these years, inner peace. There is also a lot more lore behind him which wasn't mentioned in the movie, since it was considered "too dark for kids".

@AkinReacts what both Shen and Tai lung have in common is that they both believed that they were destined for greatness an were not satisfied with what they already had in life, instead they wanted more. Tai lung wanting to be the dragon warrior and Shen wanting to rule China. But both had darkness in their hearts which made them both unworthy to get what they wanted which lead to them both taking there rage out on innocent people bringing shame on both themselves and to there families leading to both of them to be exiled from their homes. An both of them being fated to be defeated by the dragon warrior/ Po. They are both technically "tragic villains "

I absolutely love Shen as a villain as well as his end. He was defeated by a warrior of black and white, which while certainly did fit Po, who defeated him in his own way, but in the end he accepted his own death and died by his own hands. The hands of an albino peacock, a bird born black and white.

Out of all the Kung fu panda 🐼 movies this one is my favorite.

also Po is the dragon warrior because his style of kung fu is a combination of the other 5 kunk fu styles which are the furious fives kung fu styles if you need more information on it watch the youtuber called Film Theory on Kung Fu Panda and he will explain it a lot better its also from 2 years ago now oh but watch it after you see the last one

Few things I would like to point out in this movie. 1. Shen knows Kung Fu. It's not to the extent of say... Shifu, or Rhino, but it's to enough of an extent. And it definitely payed off, what with him holding his own against Masters Ox and Croc, only falling short when Rhino stepped into the fray moments later. And when he got the upper hand on an Emotionally Dampened Po, and fought against him at the end of the movie. 2. Shifu is a great teacher. This isn't really referenced in great detail. If you all remember in the first movie how Po referred to Shifu as the "Greatest Teacher in all of China" (I believe that's what he said, if not then something close.). It seems only fitting that he's the one who convinced Ox and Croc to leave their prison and join in the fight. 3. Shen created his own demise. Defeated by a Warrior of Black and White. As obvious as it seems, the prophecy was not actually referring to Po, or any Panda for that matter, or really anybody specific. What it meant by "Warrior of Black and White" was someone who had mastered inner peace. It didn't have to be a Panda, Shen just took the prophecy to literally, and set out to wipe out an entire species.

this movie was so good that peacock know he was a good villain (second behind tai lung)

Po is the dragon warrior and not part of the furious five they do have a leader, master tigress...Po works with them on his path to becoming the dragon warrior and they become his family...So no leaders kinda.

love this one as well and grew up watching it also Po x Tigress : )

When y'all watch the 3rd one... have plenty of popcorn beer and tissues at the ready!!!! And get ready for a hell of a ride!!!!

You're so underrated, you guys deserve more 👋

"Thats an avocado" Had me CACKLING in the back bro😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Omg I enjoy so much your movie reactions guys, I feel so happy to discover this channel! :D greetings from Chile! Oh, maybe you should watch the movie "Vivo" or "Over the Moon"! those have musical moments like "Encanto" but the stories are so beautiful!

This is a great reaction, as always! I think in this movie, the villain was more obviously fragile, I mean, he destroyed his own palace I believe to attack Po and friends. His fighting seemed fine, but his power over Po went away when Po found inner peace, so I get why you say he's weaker than the previous villain.

Great reaction,you guys are so entertaining

It's three weeks late to share this detail about the trilogy but each movie covers one of the three big aspects of the self Body - becoming the dragon warrior, accepting himself as a panda, facing Tai Lung Mind - being confronted with his past and what's become of his birth family to accept his true family Spirit - that's movie 3, no spoilers

Every villain is SOOOOOO DOPE, SO COOL EACH OF THEM

Both po and shen are yin and Yang warriors of black and white. Both shen and po can be opponents to eachother but at their cores are battling with themselves over who they are. Shen disregards his parents and the heritage/inheritance given to him to make his own path yet he is obsessed along with his parents over this idea of future defeat, not letting go of the sooth-sayer but holding the fortune teller prisoner to hear it repeated not letting things flow as she suggests. Their reason for being warriors is not from their birth rite but through their actions and steps. Shen walks down his own staircase that he claims is his birthright and reaches the bottom of the stairs unsurprisingly, all from his from his efforts of walking he doesn’t pay attention to where he steps in the present moment. Meanwhile while po is carried up the steps by shens men to the confrontation. Pos reason for being abandoned is a result of not shens attack but a result of his mother caring for him and trusting that he will be safe- the mother let’s him flow similar to Moses in a basket, allowing him a chance to grow and be himself. (Something Shen was denied when showing talents for fireworks in a new direction then his own parents to expand business- we are noodle folk broth runs in our veins and Shen is from fireworks and isn’t allowed to shine in the sky, he’s weighted himself down- while Shen is prohibited from even a spark and eventually he’s snuffed out like a wild fire completely exhausted and surrounded by the water elements that don’t encourage his growth. Po finds an island with the encouragement of others in the present moment believing in him watches not only where he stands and the bullets flying at him but genuinely look at shen and acknowledges and accepts that he stands before him. Something Shen cannot manage to do is confront po and see him as the opponent or opposition to himself shens worst enemy is himself and he allows himself to be ruined by his own actions letting the pillars he build crush him under their weight in acceptance. I think this movie was visually less compelling then the last or next ones as it felt a bit rushed and the constant back and forth with the flashbacks and flash forwards to be a little over the top when all the movies do have this quality to them. It’s a lot of the same scenes repeated with slowly more information shared and the growth felt natural yet a little forced. I think it was cathartic at the end until the reveal of the father setting up the next story making it feel like it’s going to keep progressing and that inner peace wasn’t ultimately achieved

Po is a force to be reakoned with when you piss him off

I got chills all over again watching this, they did so good with these kung fu panda movies

After you watch all 3 Kung Fu Panda, please watch the Film Theory "Why Po is the Dragon Warrior".

did you know all the furious five are all based on their kung fu. Master Tigress uses tiger style , Master Viper uses snake style , Master Crane uses crane style, Master Mantis uses mantis style and Master Monkey uses While Po is the only one with his own fighting style just like old Jackie Chan movies. the use of the environment and total AWESOMENESS

Love your reactions, can't wait for the last one

I was waiting for thissss 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Dream Works alone is saving all of the animation scene in the West with these masterpieces. This movie literally doesn't have a single thing done wrong or poorly or lazily and I respect that so much. Clearly, the artists are telling and crafting these stories unlike with Disney which only let's marketing specialists and certain psychology experts decide plots and execution resulting in shameless corporate garbage.

I don’t even need to watch to know y’all got beyond hyped at that last “skadoosh” 💀

MY FAV OF THE TRILOGY

Shen is my second favorite villain of the trilogy.

This movie is so good like shen is the best villain. You guys should watch kung fu panda 3

Guys, I really like your reactions 👏🏻💛

Really glad you had the opportunity to watch the 2nd movie ☆

Shen as a villain both “was” and “wasn’t” personal. His ambition amounted to “cannons can be better than kung fu” and he got a prophecy that a specific type of warrior would stop him. Instead of examining his goal for why that would happen, he makes it personal by pre-emptively striking the pandas and taking out a number of them, which… isn’t actually what sets him up to be taken down. No, the issue is now, where he’s aggressively targeting kung fu instead of just making his cannons worthwhile as an alternative. He kept the soothsayer around to keep tabs on any progress changing his future, but never made the particular change that would make any difference to it.

The Prophecy that Fortune Teller Lady told had been fulfilled, The False Lord really is defeated by Warrior of Black & White ☯

Imagine thinking you have to be physically big or powerful to be menacing... Bro literally invented the first cannon in this world.

AYEEEE been waiting on this!!!

If you guys havent watched The Jungle Book Live action (2016) I HIGHLY recommend it. But you would have to watch the first 1967 version first.

Would be awesome if you guys could react to Madagascar next.It's one of the funniest animated movies and very entertaining

Guess you guys changed your mind on tigress since the first movie 😂

16:28 Watch the 3rd movie and you will see

now you got to watch kung fu panda 3

"He might've been your father, boah. But he wasn't ye daddy." ~Mr. Ping

Shen Knew He couldn’t defeat po or any master that was present in a kung fu battle so he accepted death

Who is ready for Kung Fu Panda 4. March 8, 2024! Also, do you think PO and Tigress should be a couple?

I just realised. Shen brought a gun to a fist fight And said "BLOCK THIS"

I can't wait for the 3 part

"Is that not an avocado"🤔🤣......?!!!! HOLLERINGGGGGGG!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jean Claude Van Damme voices the crocodile guy

Please react to Real Steal it’s such a good and cool movie that I think you guys would LOVE!

I respect your opinion. Tai didn't do it for me but shen did. To each their own but I'm glad that you guys enjoyed it

12:33: This man has the coldest lines.

48:06 AYOOO PAUSE MY BOI SAID SRAIGHT DOWN THE THROAT

I’ll say dragon warrior is the savior of the world and kung fu and could be a leader but the pending on the person character he is like goofy have fun person a leader should have that but should def be more serious that’s why tigress is more of the acting leader
