Okay, after a bit, I've realized what exactly is off with Zhen to me. It's not the voice (although Awkwafina's voice is... very grating to put it as politely blunt as possible,) no, it's the overall design. I'm not here to be all nitpicky and annoying, but genuinely, her design feels out of place in this universe. Kung Fu Panda's designs are so heavily shape-focused, their shapes and sizes are so unique and special to them! So when you bring someone like Zhen, who looks ripped straight from Zootopia, it just feels... lame. And It's not like this applies to ANY of the new characters we see either!!! Look at the Chameleon vs. Zhen!

The Chameleon has this unique shape to her, she's so skinny, her shape intentionally reduces her fear factor, she's small and puny, so thus she would also be weak, no? But you're WRONG, she's a more powerful threat than you could imagine! Meanwhile with Zhen I can't even tell if she's a fox or a wolf, like I had to go to the wiki just to find out she's even a fox!

All her design tells me about her is she's some bandit or something... again, Kung Fu Panda is KNOWN for its unique shapes and sizes, it's stylization is something to gawk and marvel at, with just how GOOD they are... and Zhen just doesn't deliver... which really sucks, especially if the theory of her being the new "Dragon Warrior" is true...

#she feels more like a spin-off show character than a movie character iykwim? #also hate that theyre repeating the kfp 2 character arc .. #i LOVE being optimistic ab things... #but idk kfp 4 please dont crash and burn... #kung fu panda #kung fu panda 4 #kfp 4 #kfp spoilers #kung fu panda spoilers #raine's rambles

Its hard for me to say this but kung fu panda 4 is a cheap fucking remake. IT DID NOT serve cunt and they did in fact LEFT ALL CRUMBS 💀💀💀

Daddy Tai Lung was there but even he cant save this movie🥲

The most enjoyable part are the Dads, as usual Mr. Ping and Li slayyed💅 they should've just made a movie about these love birds if they aren't giving us the furious five😩

missed opportunity to let Gary Oldman bitch about being stuck in a room full of kung fu masters. the very thing he wanted to destroy. additional missed opportunity to let Shen show up and have the chameleon fucking fail to take his kung fu. he doesn’t have any kung fu abilities mf fights with a sword and daggers and a fucking cannon he would be like “bitch you WISH”

they would have tea and talk abt metalworking

Kung Fu Panda 4 Initial Reactions

Just got back from the theater! Here are my thoughts. I'll try to be vague about the plot, but be warned: spoilers below.

---

So I went into the theater with rock-bottom spirits. I had seen the cringeworthy previews, read the disheartening reviews, connected the unsatisfactory dots and concluded that the movie I was about to see would be a nasty dumpster fire of a train wreck. And yet kfp played such a big role in my childhood that I couldn't just stay away. Filled with dread and morbid curiosity, I braced myself for the worst.

And it wasn't that bad.

Don't get me wrong; this movie made some decisions that I HUGELY disagree with. And compared to the other kfp movies, it's undeniably lousy. But it didn't ruin the franchise for me and I actually enjoyed myself in the theater.

Listing off my thoughts in no particular order:

Zhen. She is, to my surprise, a lot less irritating that I expected. The trailers don't do her justice and Awkwafina's voice was a whole lot less jarring than I expected. In terms of actual personality and even backstory, I liked her! However. Let's be honest, her design is shit. She looks like someone's Zootopia self-insert. She feels totally out of place in this movie -- particularly, during the end credits when she's side-by-side with the five (who all have the most beautiful stylized designs). Also, plotwise, WHAT is she doing in this film? Spoiler alert: she becomes the new dragon warrior. Spoiler alert again: yes, this is every bit as random and undeserved as you can imagine.

Furious Five: Were not in the movie. First of all, fuck you dreamworks, how dare you withold my children? My darlings? The loves of my life? Their absence is keenly felt and the plot is emptier without them, and I mean that with complete sincerity. I’m also going to point out the obvious; if there has to be a new Dragon Warrior, and I’m not saying that’s a good plot idea, but if there has to be, it should be Tigress. It makes the most sense thematically and the possibilities are just so good – developing her relationship with Po as he provides guidance, facing her feelings of inadequacy, exploring her connections with Shifu and the rest of the five — I could go on and on. The wasted potential is breathtaking. To be honest, it kinda feels like Zhen was written to replace her(using a hug to de-escalate a fight with Po, anyone?). Fanfic writers, I need a rewrite of this movie with Tigress, stat.

TAI LUNG! He was obviously played for nostalgia and there was no concrete point to his lines or presence. He was also written, if you ask me, pretty out of character. I’m still fuming over the fact that they brought him back and we don’t get to see Shifu’s reaction at all. Again, the wasted potential is breathtaking. When compared with Kai and Shen, who have NO speaking lines, it’s obvious that dreamworks just didn’t want to pay for extra actors. I thought that his acceptance of Po as the Dragon Warrior at the end was super cool, but there was NO lead up, NO meaningful character development to make this feel sincere, and again, it would have hit much harder if Tigress or Shifu were also there or if Po was NOT giving up the title. That being said, I never thought he would appear in a movie again, and I’m happy to have any crumbs I can get. They did a bad job, yes, but they BROUGHT HIM BACK. 

Po’s dads! Their side story was goofy and unnecessary but fun, and I enjoyed it. Also maybe it’s just me but the romantic tension between them is AMPED UP – does Li, like, live at the restaurant now? And they spend the movie acting like the most married couple ever. And when Li bursts into the tavern to rescue Mr. Ping, who looks at him with those starstruck eyes – well. I’m just saying. I think there’s something going on there.

I liked the Chameleon! Yeah, her whole gimmick is a little bit ripped off from Kai, but she’s sinister and greedy and badass, so she’s the real deal. I actually thought she was scarier than previous villains – there was less comic relief, maybe? I can only think of one instance where she’s presented in a comedic light, and even then, the tension just picked right up from where it left off. Which is strange, because the rest of the movie is a lot more lighthearted than previous films.

The pacing was weird. Too fast.

Shifu was cute in this movie. More Shifu please!

The reaction to Tai Lung’s return was WEIRD. It’s obvious Dreamworks didn’t want to dedicate time or effort to what was, essentially, a red herring. But. Plot-wise, it’s SO WEIRD that Po would try to face him with no backup. And the fact that we didn’t get to see Shifu’s reaction AT ALL, ugh. Realistically speaking I think Shifu would try to go face Tai Lung, no matter how “inner peace”-y he is now. Like come on, Tai Lung was his son, for crying out loud! 

The goats at the start? Also weird designs. Feel out of place.

Mantis got married! What the heck? (neutral about this, but it was definitely unexpected.)

In general, the plot was weird. It didn’t feel meaningful and it didn’t quite fit in with the rest of the kfp universe. Storytelling decisions were just plain bad. But as a standalone movie, it was not… terrible. Not irredeemable. I think, if Tigress had taken Zhen’s place, this could have actually worked. But she didn’t, and it didn’t.

So I’m going to headcanon it as fake and just stick to loving the first 3 movies. I don’t regret watching it, but there were huge problems that prevented me from enjoying it to its full potential.

[hey-hey-j]

Li's subplot in KFP 4 okay......... like, every time he would bring up not "feeling" brave I would remember that Li is the same guy who fought off Shen's army long enough to ensure Po's survival and now I'm thinking......... there's a missed opportunity there to have Li's trauma from that day mess him up in the sense that he no longer believes he has the capacity for that kind of bravery anymore

#j screeches #kung fu panda #kung fu panda 4 #kung fu panda spoilers #girl help i'm over thinking

[velichorus-k]

Just watched the Kung Fu Panda 4 trailer and it looks a bit like they're teaching Po the same lesson he learned in the 2nd movie (finding inner peace (of mind)) and the 3rd movie (connecting with the spiritual elements of himself and Kung-Fu)... and "bringing back" old villains could be a good way to tie things up but it also reads as a cash-grab strategy... but modern animated film trailers tend to be god-awful at making movies look good so I'm hoping this isn't indicative of the movie's storytelling quality

#The food jokes were also incredibly stale. He didn't even HAVE that many food jokes in the third movie so it feels like another regression #kung fu panda #kung fu panda 4 #kung fu panda 4 trailer #kung fu panda 4 spoilers #kung fu panda spoilers #does that cover all my bases? I think so #personal

My thoughts and things I would have liked to see in Kung Fu Panda 4

I really did like Kung Fu Panda 4. It's the weakest of the four movies but I still enjoyed it. Here are some thoughts I had. Spoilers Obviously.....I liked that it vaguely mentioned that Tai Lung, Shen and Kai found inner peace/Redemption in the spirt realm, but I wish they explored it a little more. I would have liked to see Tai Lung and Shifu interact before Tai Lung goes back to the spirt realm. Have a nice father-and-son moment. I would have also liked to see Shen and Li Shang interact. Shen tried to kill all the pandas and succeeded in killing Po's mum. Maybe Shen could have apologised and admitted that by trying to stop the prophecy happen, he made it come true. He let his fear of his defeat control him. Forgiveness could have been a good message in the movie.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I liked Zhen and it made sense that she became the next dragon warrior. I know some people wanted Tai Lung or Tigress to become the next dragon warrior and it would have been a plot twist, but Zhen worked. I liked the plot twist that she was working with the chameleon, but Po forgave her and they fought her together.

I hate that the Furious Five were not in the movie. except for the end credits. It would have been awesome if the Furious Five and Shifu turned up at the last moment to help in the final battle like the Avengers. I vaguely saw an article that said it was too expensive to bring Angelia Jolie back for a few lines. I used to be a strong shipper of TiPo, but I'm kind of giving up on it ever happening.

This might be another unpopular opinion but, I'm kind of surprised that none of the characters such as Shifu, Ping or Li Shang have been killed off. I'm not saying that I want this to happen, but this typically happens in movies. A teacher or parent dies so that the main character can grow.

I just wanted to share some of these thoughts and wondered what everyone else thought of the movie. I've been so excited about the movie since I saw the trailer. Ngl I wasn't even sure if they were going to do a fourth movie for a while cause there was no confirmation. I know they are doing six movies, but it went quiet for a bit. Hope we get more furious Five in KFP5. I still have my fingers crossed for TiPo, but I want get my hopes up lol

[pipcoded]

kfp4 was dissapointing, it had some fun action scenes and i loved the bonding between po’s dads, but i thought that bringing back the previous villains for the trailers and then having them only be in the movie for five seconds was bait-y. i got too excited over the potential kai cameo… i miss kai. the new villain was dull. she had a lot of wasted potential.

#kung fu panda spoilers

[alfairy]

They couldn’t even bring back Shen and Kai’s voice actors? They don’t say a single line of dialogue throughout the whole movie 💀

#kfp 4 spoilers #kung fu panda spoilers #they added nothing to the plot and nothing would be lost if they weren’t there #at least let li kick shens ass he deserves it

spoilers for kung fu panda 4; TLDR: ik in retrospect it isnt the best movie, do i care? Nope. Weather the movie itself is good or not this aspect of it is awsome to me. (Also fyi im so impressed cause i had no expectations going in & i wrote most of this right after watching the movie)

Omg its so good i love it! i wasnt expecting it to be so good, prob cause i havnt seen the other movies in forever, but its good i love it.

the way Ping & Li are so worried for Po is so wholesome. They're co-parenting is fucking adorable i cant, theyre like best bros & they bond over theyre shared love of their son & thats awsome to me (as someone whos mom bacame good friends w/ my step mom (even after step mom & dad split) :> I can 100% see them tracking me down together lmao)
