SPOILERS!!
I just saw a clip from the Kung Fu Panda 4 movie- the ending part, I believe. It was every Kung Fu Panda villain master in history, from the series, new ones, and of course, the big three. Guys, I love friendship and all, and I'm glad that afterlife!Tai Lung seemed to have gotten over his beef with Po and that whole, dragon warrior stuff, but PLEASE!
All I want is to see Tai Lung and shifu reunite, I don't care in what way. It could be them fighting (though I will cry my eyes out), saving the other mid battle, sitting down for a cup of tea- no matter! I just want them to see each other, I want some insight of their thoughts about the first movie because Shifu loved Tai Lung- LOVES him, I still believe. Yet after the first movie we didn't see any reminiscing, and regret, missing or anything like that on Shifu's end. That is not the behaviour of someone who still sees their big, buff baby boy as just that- A BABY BOY while they're trying to kill you.
Currently manifesting y'all ✌️

Warning for spoilers for those who still haven't seen the movie yet:
OK but serious: along with the Chameleon he had so much potential especially with the relationship he had with Zhen. Seriously, imagine during that scene when Zhen and Po were underground, he pulls Po aside for a moment:
"Look, you've given us a little wisdom, so here's some in return: you keep that one (Zhen) at arm's length- further, if you can manage it. And don't let her see your back, unless you want a dagger in it."
And then when Zhen comes back to them to get their help to free Po, that's when we find out what actually happened between them: Zhen didn't just run off with the Chameleon, as portrayed (much more pleasantly) in the first flashback; she actively betrayed the Den, turning them in and putting them under the Chameleon's power so that to escape her brutality they were forced under the streets to survive, all so Zhen could get a more comfortable life for herself (which isn't so comfortable, but that's another story).
Han and the other thieves don't go with Zhen at first, but then rush in later to help her later on- revealing they still see her as family (and because they think if they bring down the Chameleon, they can take over the city). Also just...I needed that emotional scene between them.
Some drabbles on said scenes might be incoming if I can get my thoughts straight.

The United States Congress created Endangered Species Day in 2006 with the adoption of Senate Resolution 431. The resolution encouraged "the people of the United States to become educated about, and aware of, threats to species, success stories in species recovery, and the opportunity to promote species conservation worldwide." It also encouraged schools to spend at least 30 minutes teaching students about the day; encouraged groups such as businesses, organizations, private landowners and agencies to collaborate on educational information for the schools; and encouraged people of the United States "to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities." In short, the day is for learning why it's important to protect endangered species, for learning how to take part in protection efforts, and for celebrating species that have recovered as a result of these efforts.
Each year, events are held on the day and throughout the month in places such as zoos, parks, aquariums, museums, wildlife refuges, schools, and botanical gardens. There are often speakers, tours, exhibits, and children's activities. Every year, there is also a National Endangered Species Day Youth Art Contest, where students in grades K-12 learn about endangered or threatened wildlife and support conservation with their art.
Conservation efforts have helped with the recovery of many species, such as the gray wolf, gray whale, grizzly bear, whooping crane, Kirtland's warbler, and peregrine falcon. Some animals, such as the gray wolf, bald eagle, and American alligator have recovered in large part because of the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973. In general, species are saved by the combination of research, coordination, intensive management of conservation efforts, increased public awareness, and education. Human awareness is important because many of the main drivers of extinction of species are caused by humans. Some of the leading causes of extinction are overhunting, overfishing, global warming, pollution, habitat fragmentation, and invasive species.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species does the most comprehensive worldwide accounting of threatened species, by listing plants, animals, fungi, and algae. Species can be listed between "near threatened" and "extinct," with "endangered" being in the middle. Over 27,000 plants and animals are listed as threatened with extinction, appearing somewhere on the scale. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act determines how threatened species are classified, and species are usually assessed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. About 700 animal species and 900 plant species are threatened or endangered in the country. Because of the many threats that species face, it is fitting there is an Endangered Species Day.
How to Observe Endangered Species Day
Today should be centered around learning about threats to species, becoming educated on how you can help to protect species and then working to help them, and celebrating species that have been recovered. There are many ways these things can be done, as well as other ways the day can be celebrated!
Learn about endangered species at the websites of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Learn about some of the issues that species face that cause them to become endangered, such as overhunting, overfishing, global warming, pollution, habitat fragmentation, and invasive species.
Find an event to attend. Many often take place at zoos, parks, aquariums, museums, wildlife refuges, schools, and botanical gardens. Check in your community or online for events.
Host an event. Use the online toolkit to help you with your planning.
Donate to groups that support conservation efforts, such as the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the World Wildlife Fund, the Defenders of Wildlife, and the National Wildlife Federation.
Learn about some endangered species that have recovered.
If you are a teacher, implement information about endangered species into your lessons today. If you are a young person, participate in the National Endangered Species Day Youth Art Contest (the deadline to enter precedes the day). If you are a college student, read some online suggestions on how to celebrate the day.
Watch an environmental film, a documentary about endangered animals, or a film about endangered species from the Video Project.
Read a book about endangered species.

Maglor: How did you do it? How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything! I scarred you for life!
Elrond: That’s the thing, scars heal
Maglor: No they don’t. wounds heal
Elrond: (a healer) Fine! And scars fade when you take ca-
Maglor: I don’t care what scars do
Elrond: Well you should, Maglor, you gotta let go of all that stuff in the past, it just doesn’t matter
Elrond: The only thing that matters is what you choose to do about it now
Maglor: You’re right
Maglor: (resting his head on Elrond’s shoulder) I chose this
