GRRRRR IMAGINE TAILUNG ( from kungfu panda ) WITH a leopard reader who has a smaller body than him, LIKE IMAGINE WITH THE SIZE DIFFERENCE HOW NICE CUDDLING WOULD BEEEE
All right so obviously I have to change some things around in terms of story. In this Tai Lung when finding out he is not the Dragon Warrior decides to continue training at the Jade Palace as a master, he is considerably less violent but will still be sassy, and in this au he is actually good friends with Po. This one will be small do to a lack of specificity on what you want and nothing to really base off of.
Tai Lung x Leopard Reader (GN)
Tai Lung has been training for a while and Y/N just wants to cuddle
3rd Person P.O.V.
Sounds of kung fu could be heard from the pool of sacred tears as Master Tai Lung was training with the Dragon Warrior, Po.
“If that is all you can do Panda I just might claim the title of Dragon Warrior yet,” Tai Lung jokingly mocked as the two dueled.
“Don’t start thinking this fight is over just yet Tai Lung, KICK OF AWESOMENESS!!!!” Po yelled as he kicked at Tai Lung’s stomach.
“Po you know I can easily block that right?” Tai Lung said as he flips Po over him.
“Yeah but it gives me the chance to do this,” Po revealed as he stepped on Tai Lungs tail.
“AHH! Mother of - ”
“Tai Lung are you still training!” A voice yelled, one that is able to strike fear into the hearts of legendary warriors such as Tai Lung, Po, and even Master Shifu himself.
1st Person P.O.V.
Here I am walking all the way up to the pool of sacred tears when Tai Lung said he would be done training hours ago, after the recent attack on the Valley by Kai he started training more and more and it is like I barely see him any more. I get he wants to train to protect the people of the Valley but I still want him to come home before I go to sleep.
Once I get to the top of the mountain I see Po and Tai Lung shivering which is weird because even if we are this high up it is still pretty warm out.
“You promised to be home hours ago,” I angrily reminded my partner.
“I’m sorry dear you see we just lost track of time,” He said honestly and guiltily.
“Heroes of the Valley my butt you two would lose your heads without me and Shifu here to make sure you don’t overwork yourselves come,” The statement came from a place of care as me and Tai Lung were partners in every way, romantically, as well as in Kung Fu. While I do not train in the ancient art and am smaller than the likes of him and Po, and would likely easily lose most fights, I make sure Tai Lung takes care of himself.
“You’re right dear, let’s go home and rest,” He suggested.
— — —
We ate dinner in silence and were now in bed, also in silence.
“Are you still made at me Y/N?” He asked.
I growled in response, confirming his question.
“I’m sorry that we were training for so long, and I know it probably does not make up for it but we did genuinely lose track of time,” He apologized.
“But why do you have to train so much? I want you to be home more,” I asked.
“When Kai attacked I was almost powerless to stop him, I didn’t want to have that feeling of you not being safe anymore, I want to always be able to protect you,” He said.
I suddenly curl up into him and bury my face into his chest, “Just shut it you big lug,”

I’m watching Kung Fu Panda so obviously I’m getting emotional.
Tai Lung is such a wonderfully crafted villain thats so sympathetic be even so you can’t excuse everything that he’s done.
The animation is beautiful and so subtle and detailed especially in the scene when Shifu says that he’s sorry, that whole fight scene between Tai Lung and Shifu is amazing actually.
When I was younger I never really noticed it but Tigress gives us an explanation for almost her ENTIRE CHARACTER in one sentence when she’s telling Po about the history of Tai Lung, “Shifu loved Tai Lung like he’d never loved anyone before… or since.” And it never felt that heavy to me because little 6 year old me was always just like “haha panda make silly sound and face!!” right after.
Po’s self doubt and imposter syndrome is also something that’s more obvious to me now that I’m older and also so much more relatable. There’s something about him asking Shifu “how? How?” Over and over only being met with Shifu’s silence until finally he admits he doesn’t know how to turn him into the dragon warrior.
And then moments later Tigress flinging herself off the Jade Palace is just plain awesome.
Also, I’m a huge sucker for fight choreography and all three of the Kung Fu Panda movies have such awesome fight scenes. Also each character has a distinct way of fighting based on their size and species which is just such cool attention to detail.
I know everyone and their mother had talked about or at least knows how great these movies are but I need to put my two cents into everything so here it is.

Zack and Sephiroth watch Kung Fu Panda 2 (Zack completely forgot about that one scene with Po’s mom). Sephiroth just assumes it’s going to be a silly kids movie. What’s the reaction
Sephiroth, sitting stagnant on the couch, has a hollow, almost ghostly look consuming his once steely eyes. It feels as if something has been gouged out of him—catching him off-guard, striking him where he’s weak. Like an all too raw piece of his soul has been ruthlessly pried from its fragile structure. The movie has been paused for several seconds now, Zack having noticed the way his friend has seemingly left his body. He sets the remote down and glances worriedly at his friend.
“Seph…? You okay, bud?”
Sephiroth doesn’t respond for several beats. He can only stare at the paused screen, silent, unable to tear his gaze away from the frozen frame before him. Unable to look away from the snapshot of roaring flames, of a village trapped in the famished talons of fire and smoke and burning wood.
Of a mother panda, running away, about to be mercilessly slaughtered by the command of a madman.
“How could… anyone… do this?”
Zack pauses for a moment, saddened by his friend’s saddened voice, and taken aback by how genuinely struck Seph was by Shen’s attack on the panda village. He considers joking, chuckling—perhaps saying something about the history of evil peacocks. But he doesn’t. It doesn’t feel right. Instead, he just scoots closer to his friend.
“I dunno, bud. When bad people, y’know, when they want something… they do bad things.”
There’s another beat, another reign of silence. And the next set of words slash Sephiroth’s throat as they leave it.
“He… the bird…” The syllables are jagged, taut. “He killed his…”
Sephiroth doesn’t need to finish the sentence for Zack to understand it. To understand everything. And like a tidal wave of acid, the realization of what he has inadvertently subjected his friend to comes toxically crashing down on him.
Zack’s gaze darts between the screen and Seph. “Oh my god… buddy��� what is wrong with—Gaia, I’m so sorry….!”
He wraps his arm around his wounded friend, kicking himself a thousand times for his insensitivity and blindness. Out of all the movies they could have chosen….
Sephiroth dips his chin, resting it on Zack’s hair, a momentary relief from the horror portrayed on his screen. Never did he expect to be struck so viscerally by one of his friend’s favorite films. Never did he expect to be at a loss for words amid their playful banter and commentary. Never did he expect an innocuous, colorful, loving movie to be a mere veneer for something much darker.
“ I know…. I know this prolly hurts real bad…” Zack solaces, continuing to hug his pal. “I promised to never…. I’m sorry, Seph…. Gaia I’m sorry… We can stop now, if you want, maybe play a game inste—“
“….Wutai.”
Zack blinks, confused by the sudden shift.
“….Wutai?” he echoes puzzledly.
Sephiroth’s eyes strain, his muscles stiffening. “I… I’ve done this…” he admits bitterly, painfully, like the words scraped against his tongue in serrated, poisonous blades. “In Wutai… I’ve razed villages. Killed countless. I… I probably have slaughtered a child’s…” He struggles to finish that sentence, the brutal scene from the movie still raw in his mind.
“I… I am like Shen.”
Zack’s heart twists, a full jagged knot tethering in his chest as he digests Seph’s words—the pain, the guilt, the self-loathing… He shakes his head, pulling back slightly from the embrace.
“That’s not true,” he says firmly, kindly. “That’s not true, bud.”
Sephiroth opens his eyes, ready to protest. “I… I’ve razed…”
“it was a war, Seph… you know that. I know you do. ShinRa ordered for those villages to be burned. From what I can tell—and learned… you didn’t have a choice.”
Sephiroth closes his eyes again, riding too many turbulent memories and emotions to think of a proper response. Zack returns his head to Seph’s shoulder.
“You would never do what Shen did, bud…” Zack says quietly. “You would never kill out of hate. I know you wouldn’t.”
For a long swath of time, Sephiroth remains locked in the other’s arms, silent, listening to the unwavering sincerity of his best friend’s words. Letting them sink into him, letting them assuage him. Gauze him. Heal him. He sinks deeper into the embrace, clinging to Zack’s heartfelt hope in him. To his trust. To his beliefs.
And there he makes a vow to never prove Zack wrong.
KUNG FU PANDA 2 SAVES NIBELHEIM, Y’ALL!!!!

In short, what do you think of an idea of sort of a kung fu panda-style redemption for Azula? When Kiyi would be something like Po and Azula would sort of be Master Shifu?
If for example, Kiyi wants to learn firebending, but Ursa doesn't want Kiyi to, so Kiyi runs away from home to find a Master who can teach her and stumbles across Azula by accident. Azula doesn't like Kiyi at first, but eventually warms up to her.
Hello, anon! Thanks for the ask!!
This is a cool idea. I can see Kiyi running away and finding Azula, who's in hiding and instantly recognizes her. I have to assume here that Azula is allowed to wander the world because otherwise Kiyi would probably be scared of her. Getting back to the idea, Kiyi would beg Azula to teach her bending and Azula keeps outright refusing. Partly because she does not want to teach Kiyi (cause she doesn't like her) and partly because she doesn't want to teach anyone (her father's lessons fill her head whenever she tries to firebend so she can't even imagine what would happen if she tries to teach someone).
Kiyi doesn't have a lot of skills when it comes to bending (similar to Po in the start of KFP) and Azula mostly is just putting up with her as an annoying pest she can't get rid of. She doesn't want to tell her mom Kiyi is here because that means she'll come get her and Azula does not want to be around her mother. Then, one day, Azula hears Kiyi outback and finds that the girl managed to burn through metal.
Azula: Look at you!
Kiyi: Yeah. I know, I'm pathetic.
Azula: No! No! I mean, how did you do that?
Kiyi: I don't know. I guess I just...I don't know. I was just practicing.
Azula: And yet you have burned your way through steel in a perfect form.
Kiyi: What? This? This was just an accident.
Azula:....There are no accidents. Come with me.
After that, Azula agrees to train Kiyi.

What do Po's mother and Shen's mother have in common?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The correct answer: they both died because of Shen's actions.
But seriously, I really wanted to see the scene of my beautiful boys reuniting with their parents (especially Shen's reunion).

Hubristic Assholes Tourney round 1 part 3b
Lord Shen (Kung Fu Panda) vs Ego the Living Planet (MCU)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda below cut!
Shen
Constantly met his destiny on the road to prevent it. Wiped out all the pandas? Nope. One got away with her child, and set him on the path to become the strongest fighter in China. Tried to kill him with a cannon? Oops. Ended up sending him all the way to his original village, letting him master the technique he will use to beat you. Reject their offer to turn over a new leaf and instead attack them? Congratulations! You’re about to be crushed because you keep cutting the strings holding up your super-weapon; He spent like an hour practicing his big intro to intimidate Po, and he interrupted it by just saying “Hey”.
Ego
His plan is working. He’s won over his son by telling him how they can be a family again, and he knows peters wanted that since he lost his mother. He then decides this would be the Perfcet time to casually mention that it was actually him that killed peters mother. Surely this will have no negative consequences oH WHAT WAIT IM BEING SHOT AT AHHHH; Quite possibly the only thing that could’ve broken his mind control thing over Peter and ruined his plan. Idiot forgot peters only half living planet celestial and actually no isn’t gonna agree with his reasoning for killing his mother. And excellent hubris in that his downfall comes literally less than a second later. Peter wastes no time in switching sides and trying to kill him as soon as he finds out. Painful scene but also satisfying, which is what hubris is supposed to be.

SPOILERS FOR KUNG FU PANDA 4
This is a massive rant btw. I have a lot of thoughts about this movie
(TW: Bad spelling and not remembering any names 💀)
Tumblr media
...
Yh so I'm ranting rn
Like it was good, but not great 🕴️. Does not compare to the first 2, DEFINITELY not the second one, that one was just 🙌🏽 . And u know, that's ok, it's hard to pull a puss in boots and do better than the originals, but still the movie was lack luster
These are my points for why:
1. Plot was SO obvious. As soon as I saw that fox I knew she d be the new dragon warrior, cuz yh. Just obvious. And you know what? I wouldv been fine with that if they developed her character more. Like her bond with po SHOULDV been developed SO MUCH MORE. It felt like their whole dynamic was she was sarcastic and he went 🥺 n that's it. Like, why couldn't they have bonded more on them both being orphans ? How she feels unwanted because the world has rejected her and KEEPS rejecting her, but Po (who has gone thru a very similar thing) can teach her that yes that may be true, but that won't always be the case and once she finds her found family she can feel accepted, just like what happens to Po.
2. The villain and her daughter - so much potential but not enough done for them. Like just. I loved their dynamic, just SO MICH POTENTIAL BUT NOT ENOUGH GIVEN. There was one flashback of them meeting. That's it. There was basically only r4 interactions between them aswell: the betrayal scene, the "I'm using you" scene,the flashback and the final fight. And in NONE of these does it show how strong of a connection they have what about their relationship makes the fox betray Poe for the chameleon??? I wish we had a shi fu and tai lung type flashback where it showed the chameleon raising her and them developing a bond so that we know how hard it is for the fox to go against her orders
3. The villain herself - what motive ? U cannot convince me that "I'm evil because all the kung fu masters rejected me because I was too small" WHEN THERES A SNAKE THE SAME SIZE AS HER AND A F*CKING BUG WHO ARE BOTH AMAZING KUNG FU WARRIORS . like no. Just no. Someone would accepted her. U can't use her size as a reason for her becoming evil, just no. Instead, why not explain her reason being that she was poor/living in the streets ? A large portion of the movie is set around how there's a large group underground who have turned to crime, and poverty is often rampant in cities, so why not use that ? It also allows her to bond more with the fox as they have the same upbringing, but instead the chameleon was never able to get past how no one helped her and everyone rejected her, whilst the fox is able to accept where she is and find ppl who will accept her. Then they could've had a rlly impactful scene in the end where the fox accepts change and wanted the chameleon to change with her because SHE loves her and would fight for her, mother daughter style. Like writing that out just rlly made me think about how much they missed the mark, almost all 3 KFP movies are about father-son bonds, this movie could've had an impactful mother-daughter bond n it blew it 😩. So yh, I don't think the villains motive was fleshed out enough, I just don't think that her being small should have been the main centre for her character. Compare her to all the past villains, her motive is too simple and not developed enough
4. Tai lung and shen. NOT USED ENOUGH. How dare u bring those GODS OF VILLAISN back and not use them properly. And also have Po barely be surprised about them . SHEN IS THE MAN THAT COMMITTED MASS GENOCIDE AGAINST UR SPECIES, KILLED UR MOTHER AND LEFT U AN ORPHAN, Y R U NOT SHOCKED OR WORRIED THAT HE S HERE. And on top of that, ain't no what that peacock would simply bow and go " 🙂" and leave. He ain't bowing to Po, why would he respect him ? Shen doesn't CARE about being the dragon warrior, that wasnt his calling or whatever. Like, i could hav accepted it if he at least had a sentence apologizing for his actions, just ANYTHING that explains why he s so calm. I'm not angry that he is calm, I'm angry that it wasn't explained 🕴️(and tbh, I don't even think he needed a redemption arc much. He did horrible stuff, yes he has trauma, doesn't explain his actions. His death was a result of his arrogance and karma for his actions, I just think his character was fine (stressing him as a character was well written) the way it is, of anything this movie and taken away from his character )
And tai lung. Most of his character in this was comedy. And him going from "you are a mistake🙄" to "actually ur not a mistake 😏" within 10 minutes was annoying. I wish there was more interaction between him and Po. Then fighting together, bonding. Have them BOTH grow to move on from the title of dragon warrior together, since that title is such a grand part of both of their identities that they both have had a tough time letting go of. Once again, I'm not angry that he made jokes n was acting goofy (that was fun, I liked that), I'm annoyed that the movie didn't explain or provide context for why he was able to get over his past feelings and beliefs.
I can understand that they died and were able to let go of their actions in their mortal life, i just wish that it was addressed or properly shown. Especially shen, in his last moments he was given the chance to fess up n be good and he still refused. Bro died with u finished business, I would like to see how he came to terms with that or at least hav it b addressed
Overall, the bringing back of the past VILLAISN was fumbled. So much potential, but not used and on top of that it just kinda makes a joke of them and their original actions.
--> quick add on that I just remembered. Where r the five ? Like, I understand that they could've get the actors back or whatever. Ok find. But why not hav the chameleon capture all of them at the start and then they remain captured/past out/in a coma the rest of the movie until they R rescued :/. Like. That's such a better way of writing them out cuz a. It gives Poe even more incentive to want to take down the chameleon B. It makes the chameleon a much more threatening villain, cuz all the chameleon does in this movie is push one dude down some stairs, and then bring back so dead ppl, lick them n put them in a cage 🕴️. I would appreciate more stakes. ALSO PO SHOULDV TALKED ABOUT HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH THE 5 MORE, cuz this guy is a yapper, ain't no way he ain't talking bout them. It couldv once again been a way he bonded with the fox, if both of them had looked up to the 5 or something like that, or maybe even just about how Po can't wait to accept the fox into his found family
ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: wish they developed po and the foxes friendship. I might hav said this b4, I hav bad memory. Just there could've been more bonding , wish there was but alas 😪
5. Poe s trauma ? Now, I'm a psychology student. I love seeing mental health and depth show in movies so I kno I'm being a bit picky. I just wished that we could see more of Poe coming to terms of all the stuff that has happened to him. Or at least referenceing it. I just think that he was way too jokey and light hearted the whole time. Like, there was a scene where fireworks suddenly went off next to him. I wish he flinched or anything like that, since fireworks were such a big thing (almost a trigger) for him in the first movie because of the mass killing of his species by shen. Like, even if he has gotten over it all, it would have been great to have him reference everything he s been through. It could hav been one of the things he bonded over with the fox, how yes, times get tough but you can get thru it if u r supported by the right people
Like tbh I think it wouldv been rlly cool if this movie focused on love :both the healthy and toxic types. Bringing back old villains can reference old baggage , like the toxic love between tai lung and shi fu, and the chameleon and the fox. It could be about breaking those toxic habits and changing to move past them and let the last go. Po couldv acted as the message of that, he could show his surroundings characters how to let go of the past to move on to a better future . Like, after everything he s been through that wouldv been so impactful.
Overall, just a lot of missed potentials in this movie. Still liked it tho. So here are some things I liked.
Visuals: fun visuals . Tho I do think some of the scenery wasn't as memorable as previous movies. Like comparing this villains hideout (wrong word but oh well) to shens, shens is so much more memorable and impactful. Looking at it you feel intimidated. In this movie, not so much. But it was still very pretty and u can tell some hard work went behind it, had some great animations, very smoothe, so yh :)
VIOLA DAVIS AS THE CHAMELEON 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 LOVE HER, LOVE THE VOICE ACTING JUST 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 like, the chameleon wasn't fleshed out as much as I'd hoped, but I still love her because I can FEEL that's she could be AMAZING cuz everything else was great except for the lack of backstory. Like I love her power, I love her character design, I love her voice .
The gay dad's 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I loved them. Highlight of the movie for me🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 every scene I saw them I smiled. I just loved them so much, that was so cute, I love how they cared about Po so much AND CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER!! That was so cute. Loved that so much. I would watch an entire movie of them cuz just 🙌🏽🙌🏽 loved them so much.
So yh, that's it. Gonna go rewatch all the other movies now

Hello! I was wondering if you could make a RedSon x female reader!
The reader for context acts like Po from Kung Fu Panda! They are a foodie, kinda stupid, a fangirl, and clumsy! All these things, RedSon would never suspect that she’s a kung fu master. No weapons or magic, he would think that the reader was just MK’s little mascot! I just want a little something of RedSon having a the biggest crush on the kung fu master (but she’s so stupidly oblivious)
Extra points if you add that Pigsy is her father by adoption, you know the scene “I just figured out that my dad isn’t my dad” I love that scene so much! You don’t have to just some extra funny scenes!
Tumblr media
RED SON X FEM!READER KUNG FU MASTER (PO STYLE)
You were a sore sight at the moment Red Son met you. And why you ask? Well, the first time you two met it was in his food stand and tried some of his food. And you said that flavor was...
"BLAND!?!?!" He outrage by your feedback. He couldn't comprehend how could you find Ripped DBK sauce not spicy enough. Your eyes even teary and your skind didn't have that reddish tone of the skin while the sauce burned your taste buds! He planned to throw his father rage over you...
...But it backfired when you recognise him. You went into fangirl mode, being amazed to meet the great Bull Demon King as you called him. Pointing out his best battles prior he decided to conquer the world and how he gained Princess Iron Fan hand in matrimony. AND HE WAS DELIGHTED! You just made yourself an enemy.
When he learned that you were a kung fu master, he decided to test your strenth; after all he was a skillfull fire fighter and has more experience in the battlefield than you. When you two fight... It became a huge frustration to him! He was surpised to see how strong you were... And yet you have a dumb behaviour! You're a goofball who jokes and tease him. And worst of all: YOU WERE WINNING!!
"You-- YOU PEASANT!! YOU DARE TO FIGHT ME AND MOCK ME WHILE WE BATTLE! DO HAVE ANY IDEA WHO AM I?!?!"
"Of course I do!" You beaned as you block and dodge his movements and fire. "RedSon, the heir of the Demon Bull Family. You selfthougt all about demon magic and alchemy." You launch your punches and kicks, and he block them. "Creator and first user of the Samadhi Fire. The one who took Monkey King's Staff to free the Demon Bull King first!." "St-STOP TELLING ME WHAT I'VE ACHIEVE. I ALREADY KNOW IT!!"
You end up as a tie.
His plots, trainings and schemes to take you down weren't ignore by his parents and Mei. And they tease him a liiiitle.
"This kung-fu dork it's going down for sure today! Victory will be mine" he says as he march to the door passing by his mother. "Have fun with your girlfriend..." He closes the door ... ... thumpthumpthumpTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMP!! Doors opens! "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!"
One day your cheerfullness was gone, and that... Was... Just not right for him! So he did something unexpected, even from himself: He asked you if you were ok.
"Well... I just figured out that my dad isn’t my dad" you sighed, it was arecnt fact you've learn from Pigsy, your adoptive father. "Your father... The pig." that reply didn't helped. He just couldn't understand why you're so surprised, you weren't neither a pig or a demon. "Huh... I thought it was obvious."
"Yeah but still... It was shocking for me, ok?!" you spatted, you couldn't help it. You were hurt and the acttitude of him was rude. "How could you not SEE that didn't look alike?" "Says the son of a giant bull demon!?" He wanted to reply your outraged words... But he could only say. "Touche."
He took a deep breathe. "Look." he spoke. "I apologise. I'm sure that it wasn't a pleasant news... But even so the chef Pigsy it's your parent figure, and it won't change your relationship with him, now would it?" You looked at him calmly but also surprised. "You're being nice... To me?"
He fastly got red and get up all flustered. "BECAUSE you're being anoyed with your sappyness!! I RED SON only cares about defeating you!" Yep, he loves you.

This February 16 is very special for me, because I am celebrating 20 years since I came into the world and less than a month before the premiere of Kung Fu Panda 4. This is why I wanted to make a blog about Kung Fu Panda, like this great saga. He has been present in my life and how did I meet the TYPE.
To begin with, when the first movie was released I remember being 4 years old.  They bought me a Tigress figure (at that time I didn't know she was a woman xd), a McDonald's figure and a special thermos.  A film that marked my childhood without a doubt, endearing characters, a villain that you come to empathize with, and of course an epic soundtrack.  I never got to see the Furious 5 and Christmas shorts until I was a little older.
For the second one I was already 7 years old, on the birthday of who was my best friend at that time we went to see her.  Like every child that year, she was scared when they showed the images of the panda genocide, but from then on she was enjoyable.  To this day, the scene in which Po seeks inner peace with his past and remembers how his mother sacrificed herself so that he could live continues to give me feelings.  Also, giving us who for me is the best villain of the saga, Lord Shen.  He had the movie in pirated mode and I remember that he played it almost always.  I saw the short film Secrets of the Masters a few years later, an interesting story and it retains the voice actors from the films.
From 2011-2016 I lost interest in the saga.  The Nickeledeon series never hooked me, I saw the shorts a long time after their premiere.  But around 2014 or 2015 was where I met the GUY.  Honestly, at that moment it was something very strange for me that duo, but after several videos and having read a few fanfics, I came to like them a lot.  I had an Xbox 360 Kinect, where we bought the official video game.  However, I never got around to playing it because it was too difficult for me.
Already in the third one, when I was 12 years old, I went to see it with my brother on a classmate's birthday.  Although she wasn't bad, it wasn't what I expected, I feel like they could have improved a lot.  Kai was a decent villain on par with Tai Lung and Shen, but the rhythm and essence of this one felt very childish compared to its predecessors, a point to highlight in this one was the concept of Chi which at that time was new to my.  From this point was where my interest in TYPE began to grow more and became one of my biggest obsessions to this day XD.
At that time I explored and saw many artists who drew this ship.  If I remember correctly, one of the first was from Tigress and Po's children who were a panda and a white tiger named Hana or something like that, back in 2016 it was where I saw @ani-dragmire's drawings for the first time, @masterlan12 and @7oy7iger (although at that time Lan made another ship).  Without a doubt three great cartoonists with whom I have been able to talk on a couple of occasions.
When the Paws of Destiny series came out I had very high expectations (although I didn't have prime video at that time) but I ended up somewhat disappointed by the final result and the absence of the Furious 5.  Although, it has redeeming things such as the 4 constellations (I had already heard of these mythological creatures but in Japanese folklore) and Po's perception of Tigress as a friend and great warrior.  2022 was a heavy year, my entry into university and the news that an upcoming movie about our beloved panda was very close and that it would bring back the 3 previous villains of the saga, I was more than excited.
However, that same year, what for me and a large part of the fandom was released was a great lack of respect for Kung Fu Panda.  The Netflix series, my first mistake was thinking about the return of Jack Black as Po.  I remember that that year was one of the lowest in terms of quality of movies, series, video games and so on.  The idea of ​​getting to know the rest of the world outside of China in the lore of Kung Fu Panda was what blinded me from the nonsense I would see.  Po being clumsy and crouching in front of a hateful and empowered bear.  The worst of all was that I watched all three seasons on Netflix.
By December of last year I saw the first trailer for Kung Fu Panda 4, although it was exciting to see Tai Lung back (probably in a redemption arc) I must say that it was somewhat disappointing not to see the Furious 5.  At the time of writing this I am hoping to see Shen and Kai in a future trailer.
For me, Kung Fu Panda is not a simple saga of movies made for children, it is a saga that shows the evolution of a martial arts fan on the path to being the most legendary warrior in China.  Although it is not the best like the Shrek or How to Train Your Dragon sagas, it is one of the most beloved.  If there is something I admire about Po, it is how despite having a painful past, being rejected at the beginning, perhaps not being what Shifu expects of him.  Po never gives up and always maintains a warm smile and an optimistic attitude, kind of like Peter Parker.  And well, this is all for now, I say goodbye to you.
Note: No spoilers from March onwards.

I wanna hear about your kung fu panda au
Ya : D okay so! Here are the basics, (there are more details, but this is enough for now) including illustrations:
Orel is a rabbit, and Revs, a ram, is his guardian. Revs is a travelling priest/revered who goes about from town to town. Doughy, Orel's friend, is a piglet. Everyone's ages are the same as in MO.
Orel has some similar aspirations to Po in KFP; he is awe struck by the idea of being more than just... his Dad's assistant. Though they go to different places, they always do the same thing. Determined to branch out, he gets involved in the vicinity's mountaintop school where they do martial arts including kung fu. They also are taught basic farming/housekeeping work, because Arthur is in charge, he's kinda like Oogway. He's a fox. He taught Bloberta, a lynx, and Clay, a wolf, since they were kids.
But as a young adult, Clay has a falling-out with him because he feels betrayed by Arthur, having thought of him as a father figure, when he learns he's not the chosen one or whatever the dragon warrior equivalent is. He lashes out and rakes his claws across Arthur's eye. Horrified and angry, sure things will never be the same again, he flees. Due to high misconduct as tensions rise, Clay ends up in prison like Tai Lung; Censordoll, a hawk, is the warden there. Clay is classified as dangerous and later breaks out.
Blobs is like Arthur's second in command and daughter figure. Danielle, a tiger, and Stephanie, a snow leopard, also live on the mountain as students. Danielle and Blobs don't like each other since Clay wanted to be with Danielle more than Bloberta as young adults while she and Clay were technically together. This was the period where they thought they liked one another (and really didn't, but they were in a sort of haze of 'ooh maybe this could be our thing' at the time). Danielle didn't try to use her to get to Clay (no need). They will put aside their differences for bigger threats, as adults.
Block and Shapey are there too, just little rabbit kids who cause mayhem and follow Bloberta around. Orel learns *he* is the chosen one and he's gonna have to fight Clay, which he understandably panics about at first. Along the way as Orel is training and learning, he comes to think of the people there as his family, that beyond his dad, including thinking of Bloberta as his mother, and Stephanie like his older sister.
