Is this the best in the series?? (my personal favorite)
My personal favourite is the third one, but I respect your opinion, God of Thunder. Please watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and Epic.
React to Scooby Doo meets courage the cowardly dog movie next please 🥺🥺 Eustace has a rap song in it
@@seanwilliams7716 This is my personal fav too. But there's no bad movie in this trilogy,
@@Indego84 I just really want him to see Eustace rap song
They are all great but the second is my favourite.
I love how Shen didn't kill the Soothsayer when he had no use for her anymore instead letting her go, shows that he did still have some tie to his humanity, even if he was far too gone to stop his plan, Shen has to be the best Villain in the trilogy for his complexity.
I always thought he let her go, because he needed to win over her mentally - killing an old goat is not much of an achievement... 🙄
@@legasius9358 Hmm, I don't know about that, if you also look Shen or at-least his guard took the Soothsayer out of the temple, protecting her, he wouldn't have done that unless Shen instructed it or knew Shen would want her safe - and it does make sense that he would care for her, she's essentially the only one who's stuck with him for decades and tried to help him
You mean his "peacockity"😅😂
Ok.. I'mma see myself out now
He never really had a use for her. He kept her around because, according to Word of God she was one of his primary caregivers as a child.
He let her go free because of that. He knew it was possible he might go to his fate, whatever he tried, and didn't want her to share in that because he cared about her.
Shen has peacockity not humanity
Just some small things I adore about this film
In the first film Po’s Dad, Mr. Ping, mentioned how he gave up on selling tofu since it was a silly dream. Ever since Po achieved his dream of being a kung fu Master, Ping is now also selling tofu!
The actual fight choreography is incredible and the little callback to Po’s rapid kick attack in his dream sequence in the first movie now a reality that he pulls off against the wolves at the musician’s village
The Furious Five respect Po as an equal and friend now which shows their development
Shen wasn’t even killed directly by Po. His downfall was his own making, him cutting the ropes on the ship before getting crushed. When was said to be defeated by a warrior of black and white, and Shen is uniquely a black and white peacock. Some say Shen did it on purpose but we can all agree Shen looking up and accepting his fate was beautiful in a scary way.
How the wolves refuse to attack their own because they’re a pack
One of the pots on Shen’s conveyor belt had Tai Lung’s face smashed into it from the first movie
The dolly zoom right here 18:42
So many details in this movie that make it my favourite in the trilogy, but they’re all good!
It really says something about a trilogy when the least good of them is as good as Kung Fu Panda 3
An even smaller detail with Shen's death: Shen is not exactly a peacock of black and white, but of black, white and red (the red sun like symbols). And by being the one to bring about his own death he gets some peace, because he defies his foretold fate at least to some degree.
I also love that Shen actively chose his path. Po even offers him the classic redemption chance and Shen decides that the answer is violence.
Tofu can be a tasty addition to noodles. Also in other dishes that complements them. Or even in desserts.
Wow I love this list of stuff you noticed!!! Well done 👍👏
What stood out for me was Shen telling Po "Your parents didn't love you." when earlier Shen stated that his parents hated him.
The projection; Shen threw at Po the worst weapon he knew: not being loved by one's parents. Shen reacts to this pain by hating the world. Po reacts to this pain by running away. Until the soothsayer shows Po the path out of it: inner peace.
Nice reaction. Great analysis at the end.
Misery loves company. Also was an effective tactic to inflict psychological pain to an opponent.
Po and Tigress’s relationship in this movie absolutely wrecks me. The two hugs, the way she reaches for him when he’s hit by the canon, her grief and guilt, the way she says his name when he turns up alive, and how she pushes him out of the way the next time he’s in the line of fire. All their little conversations. I ship it, but most of all I just adore their friendship and how soft it is. Po is clearly the only person Tigress feels comfortable being soft around.
Anyway, yes, this is by far my favourite of the series, followed by the first one. I only ever watched the third movie once, and remember it being so-so. I should give it another go now and see how I feel about it before you post your reaction!
I don’t see enough people talk about this when they watch it. Tigress’s vulnerability is one of my favorite things from this film.
Gary Oldman is just perfection as Lord Shen.
Great reaction!
Also I’ve posted this fun fact on other CZcams videos but I’ll share it here too: one really sweet touch that I love is that in the first film Po’s dad talks about how he wanted to make tofu but never did, in this film you see he’s added tofu to his menu. Seeing Po achieve his dream made him go for his too!
Also as I’ve had to edit anyways have this other fun fact: the line where Tigress says “your father the goose, that must have been quite a shock” about him not being Po’s dad made Angelina Jolie laugh so hard she had to step away from filming for a few minutes to calm down.
Edited because autocorrect changed things randomly.
Gary Oldman is an awesome actor, he played great villains like Shen or Dracula but also noble and carying characters like Sirius Black in Harry Potter or Jim Gordon in the Batman trilogy.
@@eugeniapatroncosta920 absolutely agree!
Aside from Po and Tigress, Shen and the Soothsayer are my favorite relationship in this film. There wasn't a place to bring it up in the movie itself, but it's confirmed that the Soothsayer was Shen's nanny when he was younger and this is reflected in how they interact with each other.
Despite the fact that she spends most of her screentime pushing his buttons, Shen never once attempts to hurt the Soothsayer or even actively threaten her, and once her "purpose" is served he sets her free. Despite everything Shen has done, the Soothsayer genuinely cares about him and wants him to happy. Shen has the potential path for love and redemption right in front of him, but he's clinging so stubbornly to this destructive spiral of anger that he won't take it.
Kung Fu Panda 2 is definitely my favorite of the trilogy, and Shen being such a great villain and tragically interesting character is a huge part of that
Also the Soothsayer was Shen's nanny, as his parents didnt have much time for him when he was younger, also cuz he was healthwise weakened (due to his genes, assumign cuz he is a white peacock, a rare kind which is also said to not find a mate due to the lack of colours, also white being a colour of death in china doesnt help). He did try to proof to his parents that they can be proud of him but.. it ultimately worked against him. So tragic and forced down his path with what happened.
An interesting fact, too is that when the Boss Wolf returned to Shen to warn him that Po arrived at Gongmen City, he gets pinned down by Shen. Whenever Soothsayer taps his eye with her cane, he growls at her, and Shen pushes him down slightly. She's probably the only thing he cares about at that point.
@@MetalMedallion24 That’s honestly kind of sweet
it was less Shen giving up in the end and more him finally accepting his fate as the cannon fell to crush him
the whole time, Shen had been fighting to prevent the fate that was predicted to him and again and again his actions to prevent it only solidified what would happen; it was him attacking the panda villages that led to Po living near the Jade Palace in the first place
It's just like Master Oogway said in the first movie: One often meets his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it
Also he in the end was killed by a warrior of black and white, himself. He caused the Canon to fall.
Lmao I can’t tell anymore with this trilogy if they actually meant it or we’re just overthinking things
Also, when Po tells Tigress she's so hardcore she doesn't feel anything, she momentarily gets distracted. Is she having that realization that she really ISN'T at all as clear about what she's feeling as she always thought she was? Is she suddenly understanding she is not nearly as obvious as she thinks she is?
It foreshadows the later scene where she hugs Po. She's making it clear, obvious, she wants him to stay there because she cares about him. Because she understood then that she seemed cold and aloof and wanted no misunderstanding on the matter.
I like the detail where when Ping shows Po the action figures, Tigress doesn’t laugh or look at Po awkwardly, instead, she just smiles. Shows how she’s grown to like Po.
Everytime I watch this ... The Mother scene always make me cry ..
Me too! She sacrifices herself to keep him safe, it’s such a show of real love.
nice detail is that the one eyed wolf lost his other eye to Po's dad when he hit him with the hammer.
also, "defeated by a warrior of black and white" yeah sure, Po. but also... Shen himself is mostly black and white (+ a slight bit of red). His own cockiness and ego caused his entire future to be the way it was. And in the end, he died because he cut down his destroyed cannon. And if you pay REALLY close attention, it seems likely that Shen was cutting the ropes intentionally. His entire motivation, was breaking his destiny, so him sacrificing himself was him trying to make his own destiny. Little did he know that he still followed the exact path that the soothsayer foretold. Even the little trolling she did: "I see pain. And anger. Followed by denial". The pain: The conversation between shen and soothsayer, where shen realized that he was wrong, but now too far gone to step back; internal, emotional pain. The anger: Po appearing right before shen could set sail. Angry that he had to fight him again and anger for his henchman not listening to him. and lastly, the denial: denying that Po found inner piece ("I scarred you for life") and denial about his loss, going on untill he caused his own death. From the very beginning, the future he was trying to avoid, was the one future he created. Everything he did to create his own destiny and diverge from the one foretold by soothsayer, only solidified the foretold destiny even further. And remember what Oogway said last movie: "One often meets his destiny on the way he takes to avoid it".
Also. as a 21 year olf guy... "I am your son" makes me tear up EVERY time. Idunno why, but this one scene just always hits the right snare for me.
Also, movie 1 was about the build, strengthening and becoming one with The Body. All about Po, Tigress and Shifu accepting that Po himself was not the physical type of general kung fu masters. He didn't fit the standard of kung fu warriors and wasn't what anyone was expecting for THE dragon warrior. The first movie was also about Shifu mostly. Despite Po being the protagonist; the main conflict was between Shifu and Tai Lung, which just happend to have Po as mediator for the conflict. It was about Shifu accepting he cannot controll everything and accepting his past. This movie also heavily focussed on the now. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. that is why it is called the present"
Then the second movie comes around and it's all about coming to terms with The Mind. Po needing to accept his past and getting inner peace. It's all about Po, which is why Shifu takes a step backwards in relevancy to this movie. And unlike the first movie, the main villain of this movie was directly connected to Po. This one delves more into the past; the past of Po, the past of Shen and even dips it's toes in the past of The Furious Five.
And I really like how the third movie follows this trend to complete the first trifecta: The Body, The Mind and The Soul. And even with the second pattern, it follows through. We had a main conflict based on Shifu with Po as mediator, followed by a main conflict based on Po. The third has a main conflict based on yet another character (connected to Po), where Po again acts as a mediator.
And the last pattern once again followed through; The Present, The Past... leaving only The Future which, while harder to understand, is key to the main conflict/story of the third.
It's very clear they wanted to tell a story in 3 parts and stuck to these 3 key elements. They clearly planned it all out and stuck to their guns, which I love. I genuinly concider Kung Fu Panda to be a perfect trilogy and my favourite movie series of all time.
Bruh I made that suggestion too! Of shen being defeated by a warrior of black n white, himself
But my brother said “that’s fucking stupid” 😭???
He actually was hit with a rake
@@chezperky No it was obviously a hammer...
Edit: Nevermind, it was obviously a rack, it was just hard for me to see. Sorry. 😅
Gary Oldman voiced the heck out of this, I have to say.🔥 Easily one of my favorite actors full stop! Glad you enjoyed this movie.
Exactly, he brought so much with vocal performance! Such a talent 👌
@@nickreacts6394 czcams.com/video/Sc74bU6w0tk/video.html
I love the little detail that Po’s dad has added Tofu to their menu as he said in the 1st film that he dreamed of making it, but gave it up and pursued a career in noodles. Po’s achieved his dream of fighting alongside the 5 and his father can make Tofu.
Something I noticed, a lot of animated movies like to undercut a serious moment with a joke, while Kung Fu Panda, and especially the second one, undercuts jokes with serious moments.
shown first in the beginning with Master Shifu when he was talking about how awful Po being selected as the Dragon Warrior was, then saying that the problem was within his own mind, rather than actually with Po
It's a super small change but I feel like it makes the movie just that much better, and let's it have even more serious moments without compromising on the amount of jokes
That’s a great observation
Shen is a really well written character in my eyes, they gave him a backstory that some can identify with, yet you can see the monster he is, in a way he is a parallel to our hero (kind of like Grimmel the Grisly), he wants inner peace but cannot obtain it, letting his hate and bitterness seethe, he's the antithesis of Po yet Po doesn't hate him, in fact he tries to help him, Po by achieving inner peace has to let go of Shens deeds yet Shen can't even let go of his own destiny (like Tai Lung), his parent still loved him yet he forgot that "My parents never loved me.." and he tries to reflect his own insecurities on Po since he uses Po's parental need in a sense, Shen is not a fully sympathetic villain but he has so much character, the best I can compare him is to Kai Chisaki or Overhaul.
And aside from his leucism making him not very colorful he is quite pretty and even makes peacock screams in the movie multiple times and is just really well done and you can really hear Gary oldman’s. voice and emotion in the film. He is just an amazing peacock and villain
Tbh, when I first watched the movie I kinda wanted to see Po run to Shen and save him from the canon so he could find inner peace....
@@solvazquez5593 same here. I kinda wanted that
@@SamuelTheAdept In my mind he's still alive and plotting revenge.
On a side note, I feel like there were more reasons why he didn't kill or send to jail the soothsayer than just "let her be around so I can prove to her that she was wrong". I'd love to have either a short movie or show telling us more about his childhood.
12:50 My favourite fact about this movie is this line. Angelina says it so seriously, while in actuality she kept laughing and messing it up. If I recall correctly, she laughed after this take as well, but they still used it. It's so hilarous!
The second fact I know is that Shen's feathers were *insanly* hard to animate, or at least the most time consuming.
Fun fact: the reason Shen lets the Soothsayer get away with trolling him, while she keeps trying to persuade him, is that she was his nanny when he was a child.
Lord Shen is the best antagonist of the saga
He’s certainly my pick!
The best DreamWorks villain.
For me it's Tai Long. He's just so cool! And the line: 'Our battle will be legendary!'
@@lorettabes4553 same here such an amazing quote.
The soothsayer was confirmed in an old now deactivated website for the movie to be Shen’s old babysitter, and that’s why he doesn’t kill her and instead sends her away, he can’t find it in himself.
Another fun fact- the scene of Po trying to meditate with water droplets falling on his head is a reference to chinese water torture, considered one of the worst tortures in the world, where a person goes crazy after hours or days of being tied down with drops of water falling on top of their heads in an unpredictable irregular frequence
The cinematography, score and transitions during the scene that Po finds out about his past is amazing and still gives me chills until this day.
There’s symbolism within the fact that Shen is an albino peacock, as white is the color of death in traditional chinese culture. While Shen is always represented by white and red, you’ll notice that Po is always represented by yellow. That is especially evident during the montage scene of Po and the five going to Gongman City and Shen training (which is a super cool scene visually with the cell shading!)
I also love the use of 2D animation in some scenes, both to represent dreams and Po’s foggy memories, and then the switch to 3D when he finally remembers the moment he last saw his mother with clarity, giving the viewers this jarring effect of remembering that this was real and actually happened.
The animators also said that animating Shen fighting was like animating 7 different characters due to his complexity! I absolutely adore his style and how he has feather shaped blades under his real feathers and uses his peacock tail as a shield and distraction
It’s also funny that Shen chose wolves as his henchmen, as they’re very family-oriented animals. And that did end up backfiring, as they stopped obeying to him as soon as they realized that they would be killing their own as well.
When Shen tells Po that his parents never loved him, that was 100% him projecting his own feelings on to Po trying to cause him pain. It’s what he believed about his own parents. All he yearned for was to somehow prove that they were wrong about him and about banishing him by conquering more than they ever could. It’s how the Soothsayer says, the cup he chooses to fill has no bottom and nothing will ever be enough for him, none of this will ever fix the deep wounds he has and the feelings of inadequacy and rejection he has harbored. The scene where he talks about playing on his father’s throne when he was little and dreaming of one day sitting on it, only for them to make a dry cut to it getting thrown out the window like trash sent chills down my spine. He ends up destroying the entire palace and the only living memory of his parents and their legacy in the name of his quest of pure insanity.
During this whole movie Po learns to move on from his past, that he chooses and defines who he is, so Shen is the perfect villain as someone who could never move on and that was his ultimate downfall. That is exemplified in an even more literal manner when during their last fight Shen is cutting the ropes that cause his machine to fall on top of him and he just closes his eyes and accepts his own end. He’s one of my favorite villains in all of media and such a good written character.
I also love Po and Tigress’s relationship in this movie. How she was about to open up about her own painful past to him during the boat scene but got interrupted
In any way, this movie is an absolute masterpiece and I could talk about it for hours.
The sequel is surprisingly fantastic, you knew the writers actually have soul and heart to make this movie
This one is just so amazing and dark, I really hope if future movies happen that they do more dark ones like this
I know! I’d love to see a fourth movie that has some somber themes/ story elements along with the great jokes
It could be possible, since the new Puss in Boots movie uses darker elements.
I love how all the KFP villains essentially need to learn the same thing as Po, and Po always downright tries to explain it to them. but Po succeeds while the villains hold fast to their anger and need for power.
there's also a couple short films; the two that I've seen are Secrets of the Five, which is the backstory on the individual furious five, and Secrets of the Masters, backstory on Rhino, Ox, and Croc.
Ever since someone pointed out that the fighter in black and white that was forseen to bring down Shen could have just as well have been himself (brought down by his hubris and greed), I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
This is the best in the trilogy imo. The first is insanely good but I love how this one managed to blend much more dark/mature tones along with the classic goofy humor. On top of that the soundtrack is absolutely incredible.
Love this triology, and your reactions to them =D Did you know that the three movies has a big theme in focus. Body, mind and spirit - the three things you need to accept and be at peace with in order to get in touch with you higher self. The first movie represent the body, this, the seconds represent mind and the third one will take on spirit and the meeting with your higher self. Love that symbolism ^.^
Thank you for your reactions!
Love from Norway!
Hell yes, my absolute favorite of this trilogy! Love how emotional and dark it gets, and think that Gary Oldman as an evil, broken albino peacock was genius.
Isn't Shen Leutistic, sense he still has some color?
5:46 kung fu panda 2 came out in 2011, avengers came out in 2012
I love so much that they could've made Tigress an incredible predictable love interest, but instead they made her a close friend. It's the kind of love between comrades in arms, just an awesome deep bond with the bros you fight with.
I agree but the funny part is in the kung fu panda tv show they explore that romantic aspect of their relationship
Not to mention, I don’t think romance between different species even work out in this universe as shown through Po’s adopted father Mr Ping.
He is in fact defeated by Po, but his end came from his own hands. That's what I love. One meets their destiny in the path they take to avoid it, shen met his when he refused to face his past with peace, like a child you pointed out.
I like the little fact that the prophesied warrior of “black & white” was actually Shen himself.
23:15 The wolves used to be guards at the palace lord Shen and his familly lived in. Everyone would be disrespectful and make fun of them, except lord Shen who was really respectful towards them. He basically grew up with them and since he was the only one in the palace who seemed to actually care and show some respect, they swore their loyalty to him. Lord Shen has a pretty dark and emotional backstory, sadly it was never mentioned in the movies because "its for kids".
Not trying to be that sceptical person but, how do you know this. Did you see a video with the filmmakers saying that? Just wondering...
@@ambersimon9659 It was mentioned by Jennifer Yuh Nelson (director of the second movie) in an interview once, it is also included in the kfp wiki
@@Zwologosss Thank you! 😃👍
There is a TV series about Kung Fu Panda (I think it's called Legends of Awesome) which in some episodes explores a little more into the backstory of the characters.
I understand that being for kids they didn't want to extend the length of these movies with side plots, but I wished they had explored in the movies at least into the backstory of Tigress, and maybe a little more of Shifu.
I feel a bit bad for Shen, ngl.
I mean, his parents just heard the prophecy and also accepted that their son will be evil. They didn't had any disbelief, they didn't try to help him, teach him to be better.
They just let him turn evil.
There is way more to this. Did you know that the soothsayer actually was his nanny? Cuz Shen's parents actually were unable to help him due to Shen's genetic issue of being an albino and also white peacocks are known for being unable to find a mate/express love due to their lack of colours. What also doesnt help is that white in china is the colour of death so they may have feared him before they actually feared him before his exilation.
Basically Shen had very little chances to find love, and the one time he wanted to proof himself for his parents actually made him believe they hated him.
@@Evilriku13 Pretty sure he's actually leutistic sense he still has a bit of color.
It’s inevitable that’s why
Love the animated style it shifts to for the flashbacks. All-around excellent sequel. It's also worth considering that Shen was prophesied to be defeated a warrior of black and white... who he himself qualifies as.
I love this movie so much, I felt so bad for shen and her parents. But in the end, I really enjoy that he decides to still be a villain at the end because by then he was too far gone. Great reaction to Great movie. It's difficult to choose between this one and the first one, but for me I slightly love this one more.
the goose’s love for his son it’s the sweetest i’ve seen in a cartoon movie honestly, how much he loves Po and cares for him, and the fact the species difference between them doesn’t matter 🥲
So glad that you’re watching this series of movies! They’ve always been a favourite of mine because of just how well they’re made and the messages in each film :)
Each movie represents a part of kung fu. The body in first movie. The mind in this movie. And the third movie, the soul. I also like how it delves in this movie into how gunpowder and weapons like guns and canons eventually almost wiped out kung fu. I also like how each movie kinda delves into different aspects of Po. Coming to accept himself in the first movie, the topic of adoption in this movie, and the third...finding balance with your adopted and real families.
I think shens cannons are symbolism for his hate, he fought, trained and bled with hatred (and what he saw as his parent betraying him by banishing him) and in the end, thats what destroyed him. He fired with red, and po turned it to gold after finding inner peace, I think this movie more. It's bold, powerful and beautiful in all ways. Some tears were definitely shed with me in the "who you choose to be scene."
Shen’s cannonballs are also made from fireworks, something beautiful but deadly, just like Shen.
I always cry when the mom leaves him, every time, and I’ve watched it many many times
The one thing/detail I like about Kung Fu panda is that they kept the animals... Animals a bit. Like mannerisms. For example, the soothsayer being a goat eating shen's robe as a goat would actually eat clothing. Tigress growls, viper's hisses, etc. Even if you look at the population of more pigs, rabbits, and ducks as they tend to reproduce a lot of kids. It's a nice balance between bipedal/humanoid animals and normal animals...
Everything about you just seems so gentle. I love it. 😄
Shen closing his eyes and giving up while his cannon falls on him is makes my heart sink. He understood that the happy ending for him is impossible in this world, so it must be existing in another world…
Your laughter is healing 🥹
The Furious Five are personifications (I've been told) of the five different styles of Kung Fu. Po has a style all his own - Panda style.
Panda style Kung Fu relies mostly on being bouncy. There's a reason Po is "The Big Fat Panda"; Po's fat is actually his secret weapon.
Shen is voiced by Gary Oldman
also Master Croc was voiced by Jean-Claude van Damme, hence the split kick (Tigress did one too)
Sad Fact: Tigress was an orphan
“The hardcore do understand”
*hugs Po*
Notice how Shen is also black and white, if you not count his red markings.
Meaning that the prophecy could have been very well about him, too: he brought his own demise.
yay! i get so excited whenever you post! i love your reactions!
23:19 - My headcanon is that One-Eyed Wolf used to be the alpha of his pack. Shen challenged him for leadership, took his 👁️, defeated him, and became the new alpha. Shen keeps him around (as a beta), because he knows the 🐺 es are more likely to take their orders from another 🐺, then from someone they instinctually feel is their inferior. He then proceeded to challenge the leaders of the other packs (at LEAST 4, judging by how many 🐺 es their are), but killed his opponent in those matches. Because, if he had a bunch of former alphas working underneath him, they might have eventually united to overthrow him. And then the infighting would've begun for the leadership of this enormous pack.
makes sense. I do wonder if the website back then to the 2nd movie was explaining how Shen got the wolves to follow him.
Actaully in the flash back Po had, you can see his father hitting a wolf with a hammer and for a split second you can see that the wolf that was hit has a bloody eye, you can also see him chasing after Po and his mother. Also apparently the wolves were gaurds at the palace Shen lived in but they were always disrespected by everyone expect for Shen so they swore their loyalty to him. But I guess Shen stoped caring for them one day.
Everithing in this movie is so beautiful and well put together. The cast is 10/10. Gary Oldman...OMG. I always cry with this one. My favorite by far of the trilogy. Nice reaction bro...can't wait for the next one. 🐼👍
That lesson of letting go of the past and chosing to live in the now is a great lesson and one I still struggle with.
Me and my sis just watched the second and 3rd and it was her first time watching! She loves them, and we are watching the first one tomorrow. Out of order I know but the 2 were on Netflix and not the first, so glad to see you watch this!
The part where it montages scenes from the first movie it shows that one bad memory doesn't beat millions of good ones.
I remember when Lord Shen said he wasn't afraid I said to myself
" Lord Shen your mouth says one thing but your eyes say something entirely different "
Evil figures can say they're not afraid but deep down even the most sadistic one's fear something.
Po and Shen's roof/boat exchange makes me think of the scene in Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra...where the two artchitects are shouting at each other from across the palace building site and misshearing each other.
Kung Fu Panda is one of my favorite animated films franchise. It's up there w Toy Story and Shrek.
As with most great movie franchises, I tend to always love the first one more. It's the one where I fell in love w the characters and the story.
Even with Star Wars, where Empire Strikes Back is clearly the best one, the first has a special place in my heart and will always be my favorite.
You won a new subscriber sir. I just binged your reaction to "Hill House" and I am absolutely in love.
Best part of the final battle is he’s basically living his dream from the beginning of the first movie
Oooh! My favorite one of the trilogy. Just made some spaghetti and this came up. Happy all the way
You could say that Shen was actually the warrior of black and white, not Po. If you think about it, he defeated himself. His reaction to his fortune is what led to him killing the Pandas, therefore changing Po's life, setting him on the path to cross and defeat Shen. He defeated himself in the end.
Edit: And you can see him cutting the ropes holding the cannon up at the end, death was the only way out for him at that point, the only choice he believed there was.
One thing I really HATE is that Po's actual father is shown to be a wise, master of something that the other Pandas literally look up to as if he was the village elder/leader. Just a few seconds built up such a powerful respectable character...
then KP3 happened the way it did
It also made me pretty mad so I thought of reasons of why he became that way. Okay so here's what I thought of, he saw Shen and the wolves killing so many of his friends and family that it scarred him for life and maybe somehow messed with his brain. I don't know I'm still working on it.
An under appreciated moment IMO is Tigress stopping Poe in his tracks. Poe isn't invincible and Tigress counters him, even though Poe is all around the most balanced fighter.
5:23 Let's talk about Master Crane here for just a second. Lifting up a full grown, over sized Panda in a full jump with nothing but open air under him.
the background of the furious 5 is "secrets of the furious five", there is another one about how they all came together.
Love that Master Croc voiced by Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Most people laugh at the free tofu joke but don't realize that Ping had actually learned how to make tofu, showing that he also learned something from Po in the first film.
I love the second more, honestly
It's a little funnier and the dramatic parts hit really hard
Yes!!! That's what we waited for
chocolate cake sounds good
“I’m your son” honestly that shit gets me every time. Respect and love your parents everyone weather they are adoptive or gave birth to you
Not to mention Shen's palace is a WORK. OF. ART.
i really like the 2nd, shen is an epic villain, so suave and menacing. Cannot wait to see you react to the 3rd!! but great story all around!!!
Michelle Yeoh as the fortune telling goat is just perfect. She is a genuinely funny woman and a great actor.
They just get better each time
I’ve watched some of your reactions and I just realized: We will have some fight scenes in GOW: Ragnarok. 😂
"Does inner peace work like a superpower against cannon fire?" Literally the next second: Yup.
Great editing!
Honestly my favorite movie out of the trilogy. Dreamworks makes some incredible trilogies!
But this one is so dark and intense, it's so good
Shen being defeated by the warrior of black and white could very well be himself since he is the warrior with black and white color, in short shen brought his own demise to himself
I Remembered When This Movie Came Out In 2011 The Same Year With Pixar’s Cars 2
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
The actor of Shen is Gary Oldman
I’ve been loving binging your animated films! I would so love to see you react to my favorite animated movie, Guardians of G’ahool!!
This is my favorite in the series. Also, the prophesy that Shen would be defeated by a warrior of black and white, I have an opinion about that. That destiny maight not have meant just po, but a combination of Po's efforts, and Shen himself. This is proven by the fact that Shen was killed by his own weapon.
This one is my fave among the three! Shen is absolutely amazing as a villain :D
Perfect lesson from this movie is you don’t get to choose how do you story begins but you do get to choose how to write it. And you can see how Shen and Po did not have the best beginnings of their story, but by choosing different paths they each reached a different ending. Shen’s led him to his demise; Po’s led him back home to his family. 🐼🦚🥋✌🏻🤍🖤❤️
love this reaction, please do a third one
The third will be out next week on CZcams :)

14:14 The black and white character is literally on screen. Shen brings his own doom.
who else is confused about how no one from the valley of peace realised poe was the sole surivor the panda race to everyones knowledge he was the last of his kind but some how no one mentioned it before then
Mr. Ping - Patron Saint of Adoptive Fathers
Great reaction!
27:23 - 27:42 I remember my little brother crying his eyes out every time we watched this scene, but I didn’t blame him cuz I did too
The complete lack of awareness of Po as he confesses to Tigress that his Dad wasn’t actually his father
You don't *have* to choose which one you like more. This is a trilogy; try thinking of what you've seen so far as 2/3 of a whole.
Po is still growing. In the third movie you'll see him come into his full potential, and that is what the entire series is working toward.
This is my personal favorite of the 3 by far. Not knocking the others though.
I bet that Pigs name at the end was Kha-Ren
I feel like 4 of the five accepted him even in the first movie before sifus training arc. As a friend at least,even if not a warrior. They were real liberal with praise towards po's noodles,and genuinely enjoyed his sifu comedy skit, the bitterness wore off after the first day and they decided "we don't like it,but hey,he didn't have a choice in the matter either"
5:19 after few years of watching this movie, ive never seen/heard he spits something out (according to subtitles)
