Shifu fails, not Po

I think my favorite moment of Kung Fu Panda is when Po tries to run away from the temple because Tai Lung is on his way and we see the first argument between Po and Shifu instead of one-sided meanspirited comments from Shifu.

Po is finally pissed at Shifu since he was willing to learn while Shifu just tried to drive him away. Shifu insists that he can turn Po into the Dragon Warrior. But when Po asks him how exactly he intend to do it?

All Shifu can say is "I don't know."

Because it was never Po who was the problem. He was not a bad student, Shifu is the one failing Po since he doesn't know how to teach him.

"Why did Po have to choose a successor?"

Everyone was asking that question in Kung Fu Panda 4. It felt forced, right? Well, what do you think of this little tweak:

After the third movie, Shifu notices that Tigress isn't herself. She barely spends time with others. She trains too hard, even for her. She strikes with no mercy.

She is angry at herself.

Shifu thinks it's because she never got to be dragon warrior (really she's angry because she couldn't protect Shifu from Tai Lung or Kai and had to run away both times)

That brings back old demons for Shifu because he fears repeating the same mistake with Tai Lung.

He sees how much Po has matured and he feels a duty towards Oogway to continue his legacy and towards Tigress to be better to her.

So he convinces Po that he has to choose a dragon warrior. So Tigress could have another chance and Oogway's legacy continues.

Now it's better, right?

Requisite Kung Fu Panda Post

Yes, I am going to see Kung Fu Panda this weekend, and I've decided to rewatch the series to prepare. Since this is the "digging deep in analyzing movies" site I'm going to talk way too much about it.

Specifically, I'm going to focus on the truly exceptional storytelling of Kung Fu Panda 1, how each subsequent movie feels like yet another installment of Po's story, and how while the first movie is the best, part of the power of the first movie is the ways in which the subsequent movies lift it up.

I like this series way too much y'all. I have not only seen each movie many times, I have also seen all of the bonus content movie shorts set in the same universe multiple times (the one that covers the backstories of the Furious Five is particularly good imo).

Spoilers ahead. Analysis below the cut.

Okay, first off, I forgot how emotional the first movie is.

There are so many tiny gut punches, but there are also so many funny and 'emotionally high' moments. I think what it comes down to is the first movie knows how to make relatable stakes that hold gravitas.

Here's what I mean by that. We start out with a dream sequence, right? and it's really cool. And then Po wakes up, and tries really hard not to disappoint his dad even though he obviously doesn't quite fit the life he lives (evidenced by his ongoing desire for something else, the way he feels like he's limiting himself to 'realistic expectations,' and how he doesn't quite fit between the tables and struggles to serve the customers).

So instantaneously, and I think this is like in the first ten minutes, we get the following stakes:

not disappoint his dad

enjoy what he loves whenever possible

It's a small life, but man. First of all, I find his problems extremely relatable (trying to keep his dreams 'realistic;' trying to make his dad proud and happy). But they're also resonant, because we get what they mean to Po.

So when we hit the first real goal—watch the Furious Five compete to find the Dragon Warrior—we know just how much it means to Po.

And the obstacles that get placed on him (the noodle cart) are both funny and thematically relevant. He is literally tied down by his noodle life, and his dedication to his dad. He cannot make it to Kung Fu unless he is willing to let go of the noodle cart. To admit to his father what he really loves and wants out of life.

And BAM, it is actually the minute that he admits to his dad (after a poignant and sad-but-funny near-miss) "I love Kung Fu!" that he finally is able to access the Jade Courtyard. (This is also an important moment because, well, him admitting what he wants to his dad. It's important. He's honest, and we get to see his dad's reaction—sympathy and kindness. His dad still only knows noodles. That's all he can offer Po. But he loves Po no matter what.) Also Po whamming into a wall and then fireworking over the wall is really funny. His poor dad, the way he just DOES NOT know what to do.

And poor Po, he does not get to see ANY of the kung fu. First task, 100% failed. Plus, he earns the ire of his heroes and general humiliation. This is one of the few moments where a character gets humiliated that I completely love. Secondhand embarrassment is like poison to me, and I often feel bad about humiliation. But Po's humiliation is funny and then, to me, warm.

I think it's because of the narrative framing. We know, because he is the main character, that Po is the Dragon Warrior. The Furious Five and Shifu are known as good and righteous people, and the way in which they defend each other from this stranger—they are deeply unkind to him but also kind to each other. I can sympathize with why they want Po gone. And then we have Oogway, who seems to hold wisdom and knowledge beyond what he says.

(And an aside about Oogway. The second and third movies give this even more oomph, because there's this person, right, who falls in front of his eyes. But he's also from a group of people thought to be all gone, who are known masters of chi. The weight of destiny in that!! And it makes sense for Oogway to say nothing, right? Because they'll internalize it only if they get to learn from themselves, and you can't argue with someone who won't argue with you.)

So, then, Shifu and the Furious Five conspire to get Po to quit. This is Po's next obstacle. (And, look, the way all the characters but especially Shifu and Tigress get arcs that parallel Po's never fails to impress me.)

And instead of a pure win / lose condition, we get to know that Po is highly tenacious (implied by him trying to get the noodle cart up the stairs), and that he carries a lot of shame.

But when we really get to know about his shame, when he tells Shifu, if anyone could make me not me, it would be you. Man, that's heartbreaking. And it made sense why he stayed before this—but it adds gutwrenching layers of depth to it.

Also Tigress's story breaks my heart every time. "More than he loved anyone before… or since." The way her voice breaks. Her little baby face. And although it's heavily implied in the movie that she too needed Shifu on a deeper level than just teacher, the backstory minisode adds SO MUCH depth. Because she's a little girl whose strength makes her difficult to handle and who, after abandonment, has rage which makes her terrifying. And Shifu shows up, and brings her to a place where those can be assets, not weaknesses. He adopts her, just like he adopted Tai Lung.

But he still doesn't give her all the love she needs.

I think she's my favorite character. And I like that Shifu, though a fair and caring mentor, is also not perfect by any means.

So Shifu confronts Oogway about Po, and gets a lesson in control. Shifu is so interesting here because, one, he's not controlling himself nearly as tightly as he does with the five. He is audibly frustrated and angry. He's making himself vulnerable with his master. And though he is careful not to disrespect him, he does argue with him. The way he argues that he can control when the peaches fall, and then one hits him on the head—hilarious.

And this whole scene makes Oogway's death emotionally impactful, because it's so clear that Shifu still has a lot to learn and still feels like he needs his master.

And just to wrap it all around full circle. "There IS no secret ingredient." Po's experience of social affirmation and self-love and feeling he is enough is what brings out his full potential and allows him to fulfill his destiny. And Tai Lung's tragedy is, that despite being loved, his ego tells him that only external things can ever bring power. The fact that he cannot see what Po can—that there is no secret ingredient—is his downfall in life. Which makes him a perfect foil for Po AND a perfect narrative vehicle in a story that is all about love, acceptance, celebrating our differences, and community. And none of these things would ring true if there wasn't a lack of acceptance to overcome at the start.

kay so while falling down the rabbit hole of kung fu panda updates and videos and clips I came across this video:

Kung Fu Panda 4: Tai Lung Should Be Redeemed! - YouTube

And I'm OBSESSED with the idea that when Shifu dies, he reconciles with Tai Lung in the spirit realm. I've never seen this concept explored in fan-made content (though I have seen similar stuff with Tai Lung and Oogway) and come on, fandom. Come on! Somebody please write this! Give them a happy ending!

After The New Year

Shifu: Li? You look tired…

Li Shan: Nah! I’m just pretending to be sleepy to get out of cleaning up after the Lunar New Year! All pandas do it. The second your back is turned, I’m gonna read one of Po’s comic books and have you completely fooled!

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER

Mr. Ping: Shifu doesn’t understand panda traditions, I take it?

Li: [with a black eye] But he’s a panda too… how come…

Shifu: [O.S.] Po! Artica! I know you’re just faking being tired!

Rambling about a kung fu panda modern AU

Exactly what the title say. I need to write it right now before I loose the motivation

Ok so like in this AU there's probably kung fu tournament on TV. That's how Po got his passion.

I also like the idea of Tai lung either not dying or not going to prison and just being exiled from the temple.

He came back when he heard about Po being the dragon warrior and all he's jealousy and angry came back.

When he fight Po it's transmitted on TV by news chanel. At the end of yhe fight he doesn't die but is arrested.

At that moment he's completly defeated and he doesn't want to fight anymore. He's lost even more that when he was exiled.

After that, Shifu kind of ask for Tai lung to be given back to the Jade temple.

In this AU Shifu is a war veterant so he have a bit of influence with the police and the government.

Shifu want to fix his mistakes and help Tai lung now.

TAI LUNG REDEMPTION ARC (✨️sweet✨️)
