I am eternally confused by the reasonings for KFP4 being held as the worst one.>No Furious Five.KFP3 only had the furious five get jobbed by some fat bastard. They were barely in the movie. Tigress was but she doesn't do anything.>Zhen is not worthy to be the dragon masterAnd neither was Po in Tai Lung or anyone else' eyes. That was the point of the first movie. >The villain wasn't scaryThe villain already fucking won. She had an entire town suppressed by her army. You knowing how three act story structures work and knowing she has to be defeated at the end doesn't change that.>Shen and Tai Lung should have returned!Why? Their stories are effectively over. >The villains motivations were dumb and she doesn't relate to Poe at all.Her whole identity is about not trusting in others and having to steal to come out on top. She has no investment in herself. She's not determined like other small masters. She gave up at the slightest scrutiny. Her world view is twisted. Most villains are like this. Her ideaology of using others directly contrasts Pos' naivety and faith in others and himself. >Shen and Tai Lung should have returned!Why? Their stories are effectively over. >Zhen is annoyingSO IS PO. It's not my favorite one of the series but there's no way it's under KFP3.
>>150230057I agree with most of these, but Po with his dads and the epic grand scale fights make 3 better than 4
>>150230057I want to make Tigress happy.Also i mostly agree with this list but 3 is still better than 4 because it had Tigress
>>150230069The visuals of the fights were the only thing good about the movie. I feel like the rest of it was Po relearning shit he already knew until it gave him more power for some reason.I know that movie was more about teaching his family what he forgot, but it really felt like a bad excuse to raise his power level.>>150230082I don't fault you for that? But I would rather see a movie without the furious five than watching them get stomped while Tigress is turned into a big sister side character figure. But Tigress being awkward is always a plus.
>>150230057KFP2 = KFP1 >>> KFP3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KFP4get rekt nigger faggot
>>150230057Is effectively because most fans and especially all of /co/ are sexist and don't care for Zhen or the villain
>>150230057KFP = KFP2 > SOTFF = SOTM = SOTS = KFPH >> KFP3 = KFP4
>>150230091My mentality is, if 2 movies are bad, i at least will enjoy the one that has the characters i enjoy, as long as they aren't being ruined.The Furious do job but they aren't made into complete mockeries of themselves like Buzz in Toy Story 4 for example.And i really DO love Tigress
>>150230113There's no need to call me a faggot. I love Tigress as much as the next guy.
>>150230139>>150230128Fair enough. I thought Zhen was cute. I thought the villain was kind of sad.
>>150230057>Zhen is annoyingYou know it's funny because I was talking about this with friends who were saying Awkwafina needs to stop being casts as characters.Which characters? Ms. Tarantula? No. She was good in that. Sisu? No they feel she was cast well for that too. Zhen? No her voice works with Zhen.So it's JUST Scuttle. She was also in Angry Birds 2 and Migration but none of my friends even saw those movies.
>>150230057>>KFP4 > KFP3bait used to be believable
Atleast with KFP you can largely dismiss the 4th installment without hearing alot of lip from people with shit tastes. I'm beyond sick of people defending Shrek 4 because "atleast it's not Shrek 3". Both films were shit. No Shrek movies after 2 are worth a damn. Even the holiday specials are mediocre.
>>150230209>"Hey Po the only way to beat Ox man is finding the Mcguffin of the Panda.">"Oh shit turns out I have a panda family hehe I get to fuck off and be a lazy bitch">Meanwhile everyone is dying>"Po did you find out how to use the Mcguffin power yet?">"Nope turns out my dad was lying to me and no one knows how to activate the Mcguffin.">"But that's okay because even though I've effectively wasted an entire movie dicking around, it turns out teaching that it's okay to dick around was the secret all along! The power was always inside us!">"Now my power level is high enough to beat the guy that defeated every single kung fu master because I have the power of dragon spirit magic gained for being true to myself!"It was shit. It was pretty. But you can use food coloring on a turd and it's still a turd.
>>150230057If she was prettier I would say that her being redeemed at the end would probably have been the better ending.I don't know my Chinese mythology but isn't the thing about the dragons (Or Long?) that they wield the powers of different elements? A kung-fu Master able to mimic everyone's style sounds very kungfu to me. But she wasn't copying. Blending like a chameleon. She was straight up stealing. Which sucks.
>>150230192She does one voice, her own. It doesn't matter that she can act, people who can only do one voice shouldn't be prolific voice actors. And people who can do voices but get asked to do only one voice all the time should have the integrity to say "no".
>>150230192Migration is a good example of how shit she is though. Her character in that sounds just like Scuttle and has nearly the same vocal tics despite having a completely different "new york street guy" shtick
>>150230057I'm startin to think I might have to check out that fourth Kung Fu Panda >>150217430
>>150230057Okay but KFP3 didn't have Awkwafina in it
Besides Tigress, who else is best waifu?
Why did they make Lord Shen so sexy?
>>150230293Again, bait used to be believable.
>>150230057Counterpoint>KFP4 had Awkwafina>KFP3 did not have Awkwafina Conclusion KFP3 is better
>>150230329>If she was prettier She IS pretty, though.
>>150230082Tigress sexooo
>>150230057Why did she limit herself to villian kung fu, she would have one if she just absorbed po and zhen
>>150230057>Tai Lung and Shen have cool martial arts fighting scenes and interesting backstories>Kai and Chameleon are stock characters with stupid Chi bullshitInserting magic into martial arts settings is a mistake. Even Tai Lung's pressure-point bullshit was pretty iffy.>>150230128>everyone's least favorite KFP movie>but /co/ is sexist for disliking it0/10

I just think Po having to find a successor right after hitting his peak is stupid
>>150230082>>150230139Zhen is better and she cucked Tigress
>>150237618It's even more stupid because it was never implied that the Dragon Warrior title was meant to be passed down
>>150237578lol thats wild
>>150230057Shen would never in a million years bow down to or show Po any respect. He would be calling Po fat or racist panda slurs for all eternity, just like Freeza does for saiyans. To suggest he would do anything otherwise is bogus.
Only the first movie is great
I like KFP4 because the Chameleon is sexy
>>150240060He clearly didn't bow
>>150241222He did. He just did it slower than the others
>>150230057KFP3 has a consistent story and actually feels like a fitting chapter in Po’s story and not a super long episode like 4.And the animation is actually pretty. 4 looks cheap and choppy as heck. Li Shan in particular has uncanny expressions
>>1502300573 was made to complete the story of Kung Fu Panda.4 was an obvious full-on cash grab. Dreamworks really needed an easy moneymaker into make plenty of dough to recoup COVID losses. The production is famously known for disagreements within the crew and rushed last-minute elements. Zhen and Chameleon weren’t gonna have backstories at all. That’s why they seem half baked. Because they actually were.
>>150235457>>150241000my brothers
KFP2 is overrated cliched shit
>>150230057Thanks to Turbine Media all of the Kung Fu Panda films are available on the Blu-Ray 3D format.
>>150230139I already see how far autists can go on loving fictional animal women on the internet so i'll respect that
>premieres the same day as KFP2 and overshadows it at the box officeThat makes me happy
>>150242566STOP LIKING EVIL WOMEN
>>150230057I don't like 3 but atleast it has some pretty good fights and exciting moments, plus Kai is entertaining. 4 is alright, but it's very tame compared to previous movies, it feels like a long episode of the legends of awesomeness cartoon with a higher budget. I like Zhen and i dont mind the Chameleon being a shit villain, but the whole "Po must find a successor" thing is a bit too much, as it didnt seem like dragon warrior was a position that could be passed on before.
>>150231174Viper, or Fenghuang if we can include characters from shows.
>>150237618>>150237742It's more stupid because it's Shifu's decision, which ignores the whole lesson about not having everything in his control that he was supposed to have learned in the first movie.
Lord Shen is a boring cunt
>>150230057>KFP2 > KFP1 > KFP4 > KFP3Seems fair. 4 was lackluster, like a TV special that somehow made it into theaters. The main character was a glass cannon, but it didn't really matter because the plot wasn't about how menacing she was anyhow. 3 was just bad. The conclusion was an ass pull.
>to be the Dragon Warrior talent, experience and power aren't enough. You need to be choosen by the universe>actually, dragon warrior is just a tittle. Go and find some random person to be the new DW.>ignore Tigress and the rest of the five. They can't be DW because... because they can't okay! Go find some random
>>150248056Is he?
Zhen snuff makes me sad. She's an okay character, a cocky thief who actually loses most of the time.
>>150230057>>Zhen is annoying>SO IS PO.You described why I don't like the Kung Fu Panda franchise. Po is in every way an annoying Gary Stu who quickly masters every single damn power up making veterans like Shifu look like a rookie in fact he complained about how quickly Po masters things in Kung Fu Panda 2.Seeing villains who spend years training and mastering their craft lose to this irritating character makes all the movies annoying. The only character I hate more than Po is that shitty bearded goat bitch who gaslight Shen into becoming a criminal all the while she says that Shen is now doomed. I really hated that bitch. And I hate how she survived the movie's events. If I were to make a Kung Fu Panda movie that's the one character I wish to kill off as brutally as possible. I know I can't kill off Po since he's the Gary Stu but I can totally dedicated the budget money of one Kung Fu Panda film just to have a mini subplot to kill off that annoying goat soothsayer bitch.
>>150230223Thought I was alone. Yes Shrek 3 and 4 are god awful films.Shrek 3 - Find some random character that no one is going to care about so Shrek can return to living in a swamp like how he wants and Shrek worries about becoming a father.Shrek 4 - Hey lets do Shrek 1 but this time using a Fast Forward feature because Shrek NEEDS to rush through the old plot points like befriending Donkey and having Fiona fall in love with him because if he doesn't do it, he is deleted from reality. So it felt like the first movie but worse in every way.Shrek 2 is overrated but it is the last decent Shrek film. And I hope against hope that Shrek 5 is a failure. Same to other things like Ice Age 6, the next Hotel Transylvania and the next Despicable Me movies. God so many tired sequels to old ass shit.
>>150248144I can tell that you’re OP, pretending to be someone who agrees with you.
>>150230057I feel 4 should've been a Furious Five movie instead. If the OG voice actors are too expensive thanks to those contracts/retired just use the ones from the show.
>>150240060Really? I thought that little scene right before his death showed a bit of final serene acceptance of his fate.
>>150230057The yellow letters in the logo look stupid. Most pointless sequel ever.
>>150230082And I want Fritewag to continue "A Lotus By Any Other Name ".Holy shit, I need more. And fuck you for posting that image and reminding me.
>>150232808That anon is absolutely correct though. There are few things worse than having a power absorber go ITS TOO MUCH when trying to take from the MC.
>>150249622There doesn't seem to be many requisites to be the dragon warrior besides not being evil and having the potential to beat Kai. Unless you count having hero chi from the tv show.
>>150251294Dont blame Soothsayer for Shen genociding a species instead of just NOT weaponizing gunpowder.
As much as I like the Furious Five as characters, I think the movies didn’t need them all. Movies would have worked fine with just Tigress.
>>150256914They make sense in 1 as "group that's better fit to the task than the protagonist". But in later movies they're just there because they're a package deal with Tigress.
>>150256914Viper has my heart~
>>150256785Agreeing with yourself yet again, huh OP
>>150258682Yes anon, everyone but you is a bot/the same user
>>150259738dead internet theory in full effect
>>150260721That makes it no longer a theory then.
I think the series is just in a dead end after 3. Po literally became too powerful too fast and every villain has to be able to match up in some way, or Po needs to be nerfed by plot.
>>1502620853 was supposed to be the end. But Dreamworks needed an easy money maker after COVID made them miss out on lots of money
>>150262085Who's to blame for this? Was there just a new writer every movie or something? Did DreamWorks pressure them to speedrun through Po's life?
