Now that the dust has settled, removing the Furious Five was the right call
>>153952389This movie sucks but Zhen has good porn so i forgive her only for that
What was the point of this subplot, again?
>>153952428dunno, but the dad panda pretending to be a tough guy was one of the funniest parts of the movie
>>153952389I have NEVER fucking cared about the Furious Losers. They were based on lame looking animals for starters which for a furry movie is a death sentence. You never use animals people will think are lame looking. Tigress is the only one based on a cool animal and don't bother saying "But its based actual martial arts!" rule of cool is more important because you don't want your characters to look lame in a visual medium. End of argument.The other problem is in each movie the Furious Losers keep getting humiliated. After failing to be decent after three movies consistently? Too late to make it seem like anyone will care about such failures in an action movie series. And it doesn't help that only Tigress semi shows a character arc befriending Po.The Furious Losers should have been outright killed off in the third film not because it would have made thematic sense but because no one actually cares about them. And no, masturbating to off model porn of Tigress doesn't count you coomer bastard son of a bitch.And whoever decided to make each of the Furious Losers be voiced by expensive celebrities really needs to be shot in the head with a magnum.
>>153952775I think the shorts do a better job of making you care about them as characterrs, especially teen Tigress was cute af. But yeah, in the movies they don't do much due to their expensive VAs.
>Po is shot with the cannon by Shen at the factory>a couple of scenes later, we see that all the Furious Five have been captured off-screenThey're jobbers
>>153952775Stfu.
>>153952428for barafags like me
>Shifu senses that Po has been shot by the cannon. Not killed, just shotHow does that work? Does it also happen when other Furious Five members receive a fair amount of damage?
Hiring Jackie Chan to begin with was a mistake. They could've made the Furious Five a bigger part in the series, but not without recasting Monkey.
>>153952389It was neither right or wrong. Now, the real problem of the movie was fast forwarding to Po finding and training a successor, when that should have been saved for KFP6, since that faggot made the bold claim Deamworks planned for 6 movies.
>>153952775>a mini blog post response>much anger for some reason>lots of unrelated points out of nowhereHello again.
I think it was a mistake to not give proper names to the Furious Five
>>153952389>member Tai Lung? >we referenced that in the 3rd movie too!>no furious 5 thoughShould have left it at 2 like Shrek
>>153952389I keep forgetting this existed
>>153953577Too bad the endings of Shrek 2 and Panda 2 make it deliberately obvious that more installments would follow. Why else would they put the "my son is alive" scene?
the budget of the 4th movie was almost half the budget of the previous one... that explains a lot
Jean-Claude Van Damme was absolutely wasted as the crocodile master in 2 and 3
>>1539536613D gets faster and cheaper, so it was not even felt. Unless you meant "less money to pay the voice actors".
>>153953739nah, even the animation feels a bit less quality than the 3rd movie
I only like KFP1, which had different directors than the sequels. After listening to the audio commentary included on KFP1's home video release, it's clear those directors were talented and knew what they were doing
>>153952411Viper > Tiger > Viper (anthro) > Zhen
>>153953769Seen 4 twice, I noticed no reduction.
>>153953806Those genius directors got rid of the villain with a joke.
>>153952775Snakes are cool and doing a cartoon animal kung-fu movie without a monkey is illegal. 3 out of 5 is a passing grade.
>>153954131Fat funny panda movie. Po's training montage is about him eating.
>>153952389No, it wasn't.They were an integral part of Po's journey in the first three movies.>But Awkwafina wolf is super important and the next PoFuck off, they ran out of ideas and had concluded the series nicely with the third movie. Either do a timeskip and introduce some "new blood" to stir things up or just do another adventure with Po. I do not want this criminal scum of a wolf as the protagonist. It's Kung Fu Panda, not Kung Fu Dirty Dog
>>153954351>They were an integral part of Po's journey in the first three movies....Where they? Besides Tigress who's a rival and a foil to Tai Lung they're basically just roommates.who don't really care that a fat neet is the chosen one.
>>153954376Po only wanted to be involved with kung-fu because he saw how cool the Furious Five were. His rocky relationship with them in KFP1 helped develop him as an insecure young man trying to find his passion and what he wants to do with his life despite everyone doubting him.His friendship and bond with them in KFP2 showed his growth since the first movie and how he had found a family after having lost his.You can argue they are not that relevant for KPF3, I'll give you that, but that was more about Po learning how to teach others in unorthodox ways as Master Shifu had to teach him in KPF1
>>153952428The Chameleon has nothing going on, there's no ongoing conflict that Po's removed from for two thirds of the movie like 1 and 3 and the Furious Five aren't present so Po's dads were the only ones left to pad the movie, even if the logic behind their adventure is nonsensical considering the enemies they know Po dealt with before.
>>153953488Finding a successor is less of a problem than why he has to do it. Why can Shifu just decide Po isn't the dragon warrior anymore and give him some unexplained promotion? The first movie had him learn he can't control everything but the first third of 4 is him trying just that.
>>153953769The animation is about the same quality as the others, maybe somewhat better. The movie just doesn't have anything as flashy as Kai was in 3.
>>153954351>They were an integral part of Po's journey in the first three moviesAside from being Po's heroes, they aren't relevant for Po at al. Tigress is important in 2 and 3, but everyone else is just there for the sake of it. Even in 1 they're all just show offs that drop Tai Lung lore on Po and get their asses handed by him.
>>153954797>>153954439
>>153954318Imagine denying reality to win an argument. Eating was a running gag, with him doing it out of self esteem issues. So when he gets good after several months of training, THEN he wants to eat LESS. But hey, gotta justify Po evaporating the villain with his pinkie finger...... somehow.
>>153954439>Po only wanted to be involved with kung-fu because he saw how cool the Furious Five were.Po has several kung fu inspirations. The Furious Five are just the ones that live nearby.>His rocky relationship with them in KFP1They pity him, he cooks them some noodles and they tell him Tai Lung's story. There's barely a relationship there.>His friendship and bond with them in KFP2 showed his growth since the first movie and how he had found a family after having lost hisPo has an identity problem, not a family problem. He wants to know who he is after getting some flashbacks, which involves knowing who his family was. The Furious are largely unrelated to this aside from Tigress, who is the only one that matters.The Furious Five only have a meaningful relationship to Po in the Legends of Awesomeness series.
>>153954844Po never wants to eat less, he just denies a dumpling so that little fight with Shifu can have a sweet ending. Him eating while nervous is a joke, Po is always eating.
>>153953806>I only like KFP1Based me too. Even the video game tie in based on the first movie is peak too. Literally everything after the first movie is just not able to compete, surpass or live up to the hype and success of the first kung fu panda movie
>>153954897>Po has several kung fu inspirations. The Furious Five are just the ones that live nearby.Yes, he cares about kung-fu but the first movie immediately establishes that he specifically wants to join the Furious Five and admires them so much he has personal action figures of them all. >They pity him, he cooks them some noodles and they tell him Tai Lung's story. There's barely a relationship there.Tigress actively dislikes him at first. Crane, Mantis and Monkey tolerate him. Snake is the only one who treats him with any type of respect, but even she makes fun of him with the others. They're all initially disappointed they were not picked as the dragon warrior after spending so much of their lives dedicated to kung fu. To lose it to some random panda who has never trained.>Po has an identity problem, not a family problem. He wants to know who he is after getting some flashbacks, which involves knowing who his family was. The Furious are largely unrelated to this aside from Tigress, who is the only one that matters.The identity is a part of it, but I was explaining how the Furious Five play into his journey in the second movie. You can say Tigress is the most relevant, but they are all there as a team to show him he is not alone.
>>153952775>Thinks mantises and snakes aren't coolI'd kill myself if I thought like that.
>>153955051>Tigress actively dislikes him at first. Crane, Mantis and Monkey tolerate him. Snake is the only one who treats him with any type of respectViper gives him a smile and Crane has an awkward moment where he says Po shouldn't be there, but none of them have a defined dynamic with Po. They're all disappointed and Tigress voices her discontent but it's barely a relevant. The movie focuses on Po and Shifu, the Five are just there.>they are all there as a team to show him he is not aloneThe amount of support that any of the five outside of Tigress give to Po is Viper screaming "Tigress, no!" when she thinks she's going to attack him. They're there because they have to be there, but you can take them out of the story and nothing changes.
>>153952775>masturbating to off model porn of Tigress doesn't count you coomer bastard son of a bitch.I only masturbate to Viper.
>>153955372I can see now you're intent on being right and I'm not sure how else to show you. I'll just leave you with one more thought.We can agree Tigress is the most important member since she was clearly the one Shifu had in mind as the next Dragon Warrior as well as his adopted daughter after the whole Tai Lung situation. She has the closest bond with Po, after all. With such importance, why wasn't she a part of Kung Fu Panda 4? You can say Monkey, Crane, Snake and Mantis are all irrelevant but you cannot say the same for Tigress, so why is she written off as such to make room for this fucking wolf voiced by an obnoxious actress?
>>153955434Zhen is a fox, anon. And Tigress is only important for 2 and slightly less for 1, she was in 3 mostly to give the Panda village a kung fu master other than just Po, but she doesn't have the relevance she had in the previous. As for why she's not in 4, it's because the concept is deeply flawed. Po needing to find a successor, Shifu declaring Po needs to find a successor and the Dragon Warrior title even needing to be passed on in the first place is makes little sense. I assume Tigress can't be the dragon warrior since she was, in a way, already denied that title.>I can see now you're intent on being right and I'm not sure how else to show you.I'm intent on saying what i think. Is there anything wrong with that?
Furious Fags
>>153952389>removing the Furious Five was the right callWhy?
>>153953402>for barafags like meWhy are you a barafag?
the next movie better be called Kung Fu Panda 5 Furious
>>153952389Tigress has been popped.
>>153952775The animals picked were all based on actual chinese kung fu styles. How fucking retarded and autistic are you?
Shen was a one-dimensional prick
>Shen>Soothsayer>Wolf Boss>Ox>Croc>RhinoThey sure didn't put much effort when coming up with names for the new characters in 2
>>153955721Your inflating spree has gone too long.
>Antz>Shrek>Shrek 2>Shark Tale>Madagascar>Over the Hedge>Flushed Away>Shrek the Third>Bee Movie>Kung Fu Panda>Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa>Monsters vs Aliens>How to Train Your Dragon>Shrek Forever After>MegamindKung Fu Panda 2 is more boring than all the previous CGI movies
>>153952775I expected the usual shit upon clicking on a DreamWorks thread, and not this one hell of a tromb (truth bomb).
Kill yourself Sharkfag subhuman
>Shen kills the rhino master with the cannon>less than 3 minutes later, Po and the Furious Five are already in the middle of their journey to Gongmen CityRushed much?
So are we gonna ignore how the wolves and gorillas disappear from the movie after Po deflects the cannonball towards Shen's ship?
This is cringe https://youtu.be/TARvXDcaSvA?feature=shared
>>153957189>>153957352>>153957464>>153957500(You) have a mental illness
>>153952389Ain't it crazy how those first two Kung Fu Panda movies are some of my favs out of DreamWorks's whole library, yet I still haven't built up the interest to check out the 3rd or the 4th after all this time? Part of it is due to the unfavorable reactions I've run across here and there, but could this also subconsciously be me thinking the franchise didn't really need to continue after the peacock dude?
>>153952411She's overhated by the autistsMovie sucked though
>>153953644Good. Filter this thread and keep on forgetting.
Zhen is not the next Dragon Warrior. Shes Dragon Warrior's cocksl- i mean apprentice.
>>153952389>Now that the dust has settled Has it, though? Didn't they say they're open to making a KFP5 and a KFP6?
2 is bad and boring
>Po and Tigress' mostly casual conversation at the boat is interrupted by the others. That's a shame, but at least it could lead to a group conversation with some chemistry>Too bad, they arrive to Gongmen City 30 seconds after the interruptionThat's what happens when you try to cram everything in 81 minutes
>>153961424>>153961471Kys
>>153961471Of course, group therapy, just what the kids want to see in KUNG FU Panda.
>KFP2 reveals that Po recently tried to cook rice in his stomach by eating it raw and drinking boiling water. He also thought the tiny model of the cannon in Shen's throne room is the weapon that killed the rhino master. He also put his hand inside his mouth after it catches fire, instead of using the water around him
>>153961573Yeah but Po didn't waste years of his life hung up on a personal grudge towards something like you clearly have lmao
>>153961573Keep watching /co/, this anon is learning that Po might not be a smart guy.
>KFP2 credits show that Po made the Furious Five action figures when he was a little kid>Secrets of the Scroll reveals that Po became a fan of the Five and made the action figures as a teenagerWhich one is it, DW?
>>153961685Only the movies are canon, anon.
>>153961696Delusional much?
>Shen kills the rhino master>60 seconds later, Po and F5 are leaving the town so they can defeat him>a sheep tells Po that Ox and Croc are alive and trapped in Gongmen Jail>60 seconds later, Po and F5 stumble upon the jailAwful pacing
Why did the rhino master die when shot by the cannon, yet Po didn't?
>after Shen kills the rhino master with the weapon, the Ox and Croc masters decide to stay in their prison cell because, as they put it, "Kung Fu is dead"That's some strong spirit right there. They didn't even know there was more than 1 weapon
>>153952389Not making the movie seemed like the better call
How much autism does one need to hate on KFP2 of all things over trivial details?
How did they teleport from outside of the dragon costume to inside the barrels?https://youtu.be/jY4nU1rwWv8?feature=shared
>>153952389>Kung Fu Panda 4 thread>Roughly 80% of the thread is Sharkfag bumping this thread by spamming his hate against KFP2Are we even talking about the same movie as OP or WHAT?! This thread proves /co/ is deader when even the greatest anons are now talking about indies.
>>153962493>trivial details
>Shen mentions "30 years I've waited for this moment">in KFP3, Mr. Ping says to Li Shan "I've raised Po for 20 years before telling him he was adopted"
>>153962633>Still bumping this threadDon't you have another Ratatouille hate thread to do in this dead board?
>Tai Lung shows up>oh great, are we getting a rematch against Po->gets instantly shaftedFuck this movie.
I like how the Soothsayer's existence is completely ignored in everything that came after 2
>"Kung Fu Panda 2 is a good movie because it looks visually nice, has a quality soundtrack, and does a smart job with the camera angles"By that logic, Sonic Heroes and Sonic 06 are good games
>>153963048 >By that logic, Sonic Heroes and Sonic 06 are good gamesSONIC HEROES IS THE ONLY BETTER ONE OF THE TWO, PUBESCENT SHARK TALE FAN!!! This thread is getting worse everytime Sharkfag bumps it.
>>153952389>The LATAM VA for Zhen died a few months after the movie realeaseDamn i didn't liked the film but still... F
So what did Shen and the wolves except to happen after burning down the panda village and killing some pandas? Did they think the peaceful peacock rulers wouldn't mind their actions?
>KFP1 director (Mark Osborne)This is good stuffhttps://youtu.be/cCeeTfsm8bk?si=LMaXpj7yiC3l8EbP
>>153952389Nothing about this film's existence was the right call
>put Tai Lung on the posters and marketing>actually only shows up for a few minutes at the end and does absolutely nothing of note
His absence in the sequels is evident
>>153963101Keyed Heroes enjoyer. It's a great game to speedrun, too.
>>153963660We lost a real one :(
>>153952428Same sex parents
>>153952389I thought the movie was fine. Especially compared to the dog shit that was 3. I genuinely don't get a lot of the popular critiques of it. Most people hated it because there was no Furious Five who have always taken a backseat to Po. People claim Awkwarfina has to stop doing roles but at the same time say that she fit Zhen perfectly. People think the villains' motivations were stupid when she's a FUCKING VILLAIN so of course her world view is going to be twisted. And then they were mad that Shen and Tai Lung didn't get more scenes when their stories are already fucking done with. I would rather have this than the KFP3 "I'm gonna fuck around all movie while every kung fu master gets raped by this giant cow until I unlock the secret power by BEING MYSELF" bullshit.
>>153967060>being a contrarian because you believe the internet is one person
>>153952389More like the Furious Four. Jackie Chan sounds bored out of his mind and was phoning in the few lines Monkey had from the very first movie. He doesn't even get lines anymore. It was clearly just a way to make the movie more appealing to China.
>>153952389worst call anyone could have ever made.........tigress sexo...........
>>153952389Fuck no. And they only did it because of the massive budget drains they were.The movie's CALLED Kung Fu Panda, but nobody gives a damn about Po except little kids. Everyone else is in it for either a new villain or villainess, or a member of the five, usually Tigress or Viper. For some reason, maybe part of the contract, these characters seemingly cannot be recast by more affordable voice actors. Which was a stupid provision to allow.
>>153953468This motherfucker got like 5 million to say about 8 words in one of the movies.
>>153954711You can't CHOSE the Dragon Warrior, but you can tell when he's become so over-levelled that it's time for him to gain a new rank and a new role.
>>153954797And Po serves to cure Tigress' emotional constipation...speaking of...there's an ongoing comic where he has to cure her SPIRITUAL constipation. It's clean...so far. But one look at those chakras and you can tell where it's headed.

>What do you want, Shen?>Gongmen is under the stewardship of the Masters Council, and we will protect it. Even from you>That is a warning. You are no match for our kung fuWhy did they get Victor Garber just to make him say those 3 lines?
>>153973304Garber was put to much better use in this movie that came out 2 years before. He voiced Siniestro
