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)
i started rewatching kung fu panda (a marathon of all 3 of course) and i guess i was just young when the third movie came out but like??? THIS is the best content. this is so sweet and pure and i love the way they come to accept each other despite how difficult it was for Mr Ping to accept Li at first 😭🥺
i honestly think it was such a good story to tell. one insecure biological father who’s scared to lose his child again being comforted and validated by the adoptive father that he isn’t the only one scared. they are BOTH Po’s father.
i feel like with how progressive media has gotten i shouldnt be taken aback by how often i hear “dads” but it FREAK OUT with joy EVERY SINGLE TIME. AND THEN THEY BECOME THIS POWERHOUSE DAD DUO????? I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HOLY SHIT???? Po and his two DADS ❤❤❤
and they both value not just Po, but the new bond they’re now allowed to have together! they are A FAMILY!
Some more sketches and practice now with Li Shan. I've never really drawn a panda or anything bear adjacent before, so it's been a learning experience.
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!
I was more invested in the silly subplot about Po's dads going on a quest to find him than I was Po's quest to stop the chameleon and it's sad that I'm not joking 😭
Compiling all of my Li and Ping sketches and doodles I've done the last few days into one post, including a few new ones. These old men are giving me so much life right now it's unreal.
