On that idea of Oogway meeting Kai's parents: Bingwen and Khaltmaa hold no punches when it comes to embarrassing their son in front of him. They definitely bring out the baby pictures, tell stories of Kai's most embarrassing moments, and gush over how much he talked about Oogway in his letters home.
Kai thinks it can't possibly get any worse, but then it does- because Oogway starts sharing a few embarrassing Kai stories of his own. This eventually leads to Kai getting so fed up that he has to escape the house to go "clear his head" at the pond, which is really just Kai sitting on the little dock looking into the water like:
Big bad warlord can't handle his parents and supposed "brother in arms" betraying him like this. He'll never recover from the emotional damage of their bullying. 😔💔
"In ancient China, long and silky hair was a representation of beauty and high status, both men and women wore extravagant hairstyles to show off their long hair"
While everyone is waiting for the meeting of Tai Lung and Shifu in the new part, I am waiting for the meeting of these two (I am sure they have something to discuss).
And judging by the trailer, all the villains from the previous parts will return (I really want to believe it)
At this point I think we as a community need to reject and deny the existence of Kung Fu Panda 4 and just watch 1 and 2 on repeat for the rest of our lives and vote on which fan content is now canon.
The only upside to it is that because of it, an idea for a much better Kung Fu Panda 4 violated all my boundaries and got into my head on its own. It has much better character development, a much better plot, and a much much MUCH better antagonist.
Sorry i needed to repost my drawinf as it never appeared anywhere for me…. I redrew crane, added Mantis and so on and so forth
Also im gonna be so honest i dont like how my art never reaches the right audience properly like the recognition here works perfectly fine and im proud of how far ive improved with my drawigs but when kt comes to tiktok and insta….
The Chameleon : we call that a "traumatic experience"
The Chameleon, turning to Po: not a "bruh moment"
The Chameleon, turning to Kai: not a "sadge"
The Chameleon, turning to Shen: not a "oof lmao"
The Chameleon, turning to Tai Lung: and DEFINITELY NOT a "L + Ratio"
I don’t know why this took me this long to realize but I think the reason why Kai didn’t use Oogway as a Jombie was because he still cares about him in a way.
I mean, he does talk to the Oogway amulet quite alot:
Also apparently in the novelization of the movie he grasped for Oogway's amulet before he went 'splody so I could certainly believe it!
