Kung Fu Panda 3

>>85458996
Not my favourite (#2 was) but I thought the villain was funny as fuck and thought he almost stole the show with his lines.

>>85458996

Plot should have had less panda village and more villain.

>>85458996
I watched it the other day. I enjoyed it quite a lot. Just wish there was more of the Furious Five.

kfp2 is better overall but the third is the funniest

Stripey baby.

>>85458996
Panda shit was gay. Not enough of Kai and his God tier theme music. Or enough Wu Gui with the chi blasts.

Lame in comparison to the first two, but not that shit.

>>85458996
The plot felt a little half baked but at least it had some gorgeous animation

>>85458996
The weakest KFP movie due mostly to lack of real fights that let them use their great choreography. It was really noticeable for me when Po has that short spar with Tigress and I just kinda went "shit, where's that been all movie?" Kai wasn't as fun to watch as Shen was, and while more directly intimidating was less sinister. That and the lack of real connection to Po kinda hurt him as a villain.

The visuals, however, were pretty fucking stunning. Like, god damn.

Pretty bad.

2 > 1 > 3

not as good as 2 but it is still way better than zootopia

>>85458996
A bit too fast paced at places and the villain is not threatening enough but still fucking fantastic.

Visually it may be the best of the 3, but I still love 2 the most.

The villain was basically Demongo

It's the prettiest one by far, but i felt like it has too much drama and too little kung fu for a kung fu comedy movie.
Second movie was the best overall, IMO.

Weakest of the trilogy in a lot of ways- the action set-pieces aren't as exciting, the humor isn't as fresh, the plot wasn't as engaging.

Still nice, though. You could do a lot worse than watching Kung Fu Panda 3.

>>85465988
holy triggered, it's ok anon zootopia's good too!.

>>85458996
Why most Jack Black always be the one to learn the uber secret knowledge/technique of the universe. It got repetitive by the second movie. Really hope Shifu would be the one to kick ass in this.

>>85458996
The plot kind of felt like a long episode rather than movie. The spirit world stuff was awesome and I love how it threw you right into it, it was cheesy B movie fun. But then the first half had a bit too much toilet humour and the jokes were a little lacking.

Like everyone else has been saying, Kai was an awesome villain who was fun as hell to watch, I'd say even more than Tai Lung. But I really missed the other Furious Five and especially Shifu.

I didn't hate Po's panda-dad, but I never really grew to love him either. The other pandas I was just "eh" on (the chick-panda getting nunchucks was pretty cool though).

I really enjoyed Po vs. Kai though. Yeah it was cliche at parts but it had so much energy and the visuals were fucking amazing.

I read that they made new models for everyone for this movie. What really bothers me is that they gave Viper fangs when she isn't supposed to have them (it's even part of her whole backstory). I wish they fixed that.

Also I don't get the random ship-teasing for Po and Tigress scattered throughout the movie when they work great as just friends.

awesome visuals
good characters
it's a really good movie

>>85466182
(The name of the movie is Kung-Fu Panda)

aunt panda is cute

Felt more like a kid's movie than the last two to be honest. Even the villain didn't feel like a movie villain, more like a villain of the week from a cartoon.

The girl panda was called maymay.

Enough said.

How were the Pandas and baby Pandas beating literal chi's of the masters of Kung Fu?

It was actually pretty bad.

A cop-out of a story. In the first two movies we learn that there is no secret ingredient and that you can become who you want to be through hard work, and not through cheesy chosen one bullshit.

But in 3 they retcon that hard by introducing an actual secret ingredient (chi), and claim that Po was the chosen one all along and it was meme magic that brought him there.

Not to mention everyone learned chi in an afternoon and even retards and babies were doing it.

Po didn't learn any lessons that he already learned in the first two movies. He didn't actually grow, but was hand-waved a new super power.

Some of you seem pretty hard on the 3rd, I think it was still bloody great. Maybe the weakest of the trilogy, but it's a bloody strong trilogy. The humour was decent, a bit more misses than before and the fight scenes lacked a bit since all Kai had to do was steal Chi's rather than directly fight.

I think he was the weakest villain too, he didn't have much of a presence in my opinion. He did feel like the biggest threat though so I think he still remained engaging.

Is 3 the last one? With the way it ended it seemed like it's the case, which is a bit of a shame, but also fine since there's no point continually milking it.

I'm not sure how I'd rank them all desu

>Not to mention everyone learned chi in an afternoon and even retards and babies were doing it.

I found this odd as shit. I could understand his fathers since it was about "knowing who you really are", but literally every Panda and then everyone in his home village? How did they make this self discovery so quickly? Shifu couldn't do it and Oogway didn't exactly find it easy either.

I don't think Chi retcons the "there is no secret ingredient" thing for that very reason, everyone knew how to do it, it didn't really make sense, but the fact it is that way does show it's not just a special thing only the dragon warrior can do.

>>85459674
This pretty much. It was far to little "Lets make the villain a villain" and far to much "hur hur hur pandas"

I would totally stick my dick in all those underage female pandas

I just hope having the temple destroyed has a massive impact in future movies since that was the only permanent damage Kai did.
Also wished for Jade Wu Gui that would devastate everything

>>85458996
It was kinda good
Too many fat jokes.
Ok. We get it, pandas are lazy and fat.

I was disappointed po's father was just another random villager not a village leader or a spiritual leader

It's the weakest of the three. I mean I still like it a lot and some of the hate/bashing I've seen towards it makes me a little sad but, at the same time, Doug Walker said something to the effect of "It's the best one yet!" and I gotta know what he's smoking.

Anyway, second movie's still the best.

>>85471091
Everyone has opinions senpai

>>85461480
I was crying bitter tears due to the mere thought of him having to depart from Po. Good thing that didn't happen.

>>85468705
Deus ex panda, the power of comedy relief, and meimei was actually pretty good at fighting.

>>85473256
Meimei was just one of the Pandas, this was literally legends of Kung Fu who dismantled the Furious 5 and Shifu but couldn't stand up to some Pandas?
Comedy relief doesn't really work here, generally KFP treats its battles seriously when it comes to power levels. There were literally baby pandas outsmarting them

>>85458996
It was going to be hard to beat the pure kino that is KFP2 but three was alright, too much of the panda village which got really annoying but it still retained some of the genuine heart of the first and second film and was funny in places.

>>85473847
The idea is that he used way too many of them, dividing his focus too thin.

>>85474135
He didn't control them all did he? I thought he only saw what they saw, rather than directly be responsible for how they fight and what they do

>my all time favourite scene from any animated film

>>85474458
This scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqjIkkwMlnw

It blends 2D and 3D animation perfectly, has an amazing grasp of tone, the use of colour is excellent, it has emotional weight and my god the music. This scene made me fall in love with animation as a medium and it is in a film called fucking Kung Fu Panda.

>like they literally kick the furious five in the crotch and then kick them in the gutter.

The Panda village wasn't that bad. It had its lows but it also had some decent moments.

>>85461480
Easily the best character in the series. Only Lord Shen and his Wolf, Tigress, and maybe Wu Gui come close.

>>85476137
He was a little annoying in the first film but in the second and third he was pretty great.

Proof that the Star Wars formula holds true
>first movie is good and sets up the world
>second movie is really really good
>third film is meh with forced goofy characters to appeal to kids
I realize the whole point of the movie was him reconnecting with his people but there was way too much goofy panda bullshit in this movie.

Having the entire village be a bunch of fat idiots who literally roll around to move places was grating when these people are supposed to have the secret of using chi

>>85458996
Worst movie in the trilogy. Didn't have the support of a strong antagonist like the second movie, and it padded with dumb humor more than the first 2 movies did.

>>85458996
total let down. had a dozen chances to stick the landing and flubbed each and every one of them. It felt like they had some really solid ideas and then execs stepped in and made them shit out the most bland and contrived ending that sucked all the emotional impact and meaning out of the entire movie up until that point.

It's a real shame because they could have tied off a pretty good trilogy with a great ending and then moved into the next set of films (because there will be more) but instead we got this weak ass ending that manages to poke holes in the first two movies when it's supposed to be building on them.

I thought it was a major letdown and that was even after the total fucking misfire that was the Good Dinosaur which came so close to being a great movie that it actually made me rage with how interfered with it came across.

Overall a worse movie than pic related, doesn't even come close

Villain was great. Order of logic makes little sense (how did Tigree find Po?) The point of the movie was that he should be himself, which was a lesson he learned in the first movie. The plot is pretty stupid but the set pieces are kind of funny. Sometimes.

It wasn't direct to DvD quality or anything. Not the best.

what could they possibly do? Po has been effectively unbeatable since the end of the first movie. What stupid gimmicks are they going to pull out their asses to make the next 3 any kind of tense?

I thought that the plot was much weaker than the first or second ones. KFP2 was incredible, especially with the equal parts hilarious and threatening villain, but the third one and its qi bullshit asspull really dropped the ball on the ending. Also, they didn't expand on the weird Po/Tigress romance subplot from 2.

>>85486129
I'd say the point of this movie was more self discovery and learning who you truly are. In the Second he finds inner peace, which he seemingly does by understanding himself doesn't he?

I recall Shifu using the exact same line about Oogway living in a cave to find inner peace and here using it to say he found out about himself too if I'm not mistaken. I think they're different, the morals in all 3 films are but perhaps not substantially so.
I'm also not seeing how any of them contradict the other desu, there was no secret ingredient in Po except that it was his destiny since he became the dragon warrior. Whilst the first movie did give the impression anyone can do it given the "no secret ingredient" thing, they had to go somewhere with Po being the dragon warrior.

Some of the humour did fall flat, mostly in the Panda village but it wasn't anywhere as bad as people seem to be making out. There were still good jokes and even the previous movies have had some misses.

I like it better than 2

Kai>Shen

>>85458996
An unnecessary movie. The Furious Five were useless AGAIN, Po got another powerup, the idea that your lazy ass lifestyle makes you able to fight legendary Kung Fu masters is stupid, and "Try hard and you'll be a good teacher with no training or experience" is just as dumb.

>>85490406
>I'd say the point of this movie was more self discovery and learning who you truly are.

I feel like the movie tried to have too many main points, and most of them were forgotten and dropped. Like at the beginning when Shifu tells Po that being the dragon warrior is not all about fighting, and then he solves the crisis with Kai by fighting. They also had that odd moment when Po was looking at the scroll, and rather than looking at the picture of Oogway fighting, he was looking at the pandas. I thought it was setting up something about Po's desire to be closer to his people... and then surprise, all he cared about with Chi was fighting. Why not have him look at the picture of the fight? Why have him focus on the picture of the healing if he wasn't interested in healing?

I also think the movie would have been a little better if Po hadn't become great at ALL the panda stuff, because while he is one, he wasn't raised with them. Like that little moment with chop sticks. It would have been nice if he preferred them, just to show that he was still culturally different from them.

needed less chi magic and more kung fu
Kai's theme was purified awesome

>>85493920
>he solves the crisis with Kai by fightin
Well not really, the point is he couldn't really fight Kai. He was 2stronk, only once they got into the spirit world and he was enhanced by Chi did he dominate, but that was chi magic rather than outclassing his opponent in a fight a la Tai Lung.

>>85494019
it doesn't matter that he was fighting with chi instead of physically, he still used fighting to solve his problem.

>>85494309
He used fighting in all the movies, it's Kung Fu Panda, the big bad villain is going to be defeated in some form of combat. I don't think that demeans the point of the Chi, even if the Chi thing was a bit of an asspull since suddenly everyone could do it when even Shifu couldn't learn it.

Besides, the point with it not being all about fighting was more about him being a teacher in this one, which he did with the Pandas. Even that seemed like an asspull to me because there's no real sense in the Pandas beating the Chi Warriors who have run rampant throughout most of China, even the baby pandas were winning them ffs. But yeah, back to the point, he taught them all something and in the process learned how to spread his knowledge, even going as far as teaching Shifu how to channel his Chi. So he's a fighter (first movie), a son (second movie) and a teacher/master (third movie).

>>85468866
I thought there were supposed to be 6 movies but I'm not really sure where they can go from here.

>>85494493
>6 movies
Holy shit.
What the hell? 3 felt like an ending. I suppose they could have a rogue pupil of his own for 5, then in 6 he can become a literal Kung Fu God because literally what else is left.
He's pretty much surpassing Oogway at this point.

Was Po justified in destroying Kai's immortal soul like a ballon with too much air

>>85460987
Yep. I like it the least out of the whole franchise. This includes the animated series and the shorts.

>>85484157
Yep, but they brought it back in 3 and it made an excuse to make it even more about Po while other characters was glossed over.
Its basically Legends of Awesomeness bleed into the movie.

the duck dad is the best character

His backstory was a bit weird
Teamed with Oogway for so long, presumably doing good and then just went evil on a whim?

>>85498223
I guess I need to watch it again, but I got the impression that they were both hooligans but the pandas caring for Oogway set him on the right path.

>>85498111
He was the worst villain of the entire trilogy.

>>85499200
You might be right actually, I just never really saw Oogway as having a hooligan side though. Even if that were the case. they were brothers in arms, even hooligans are generally appreciative when someone helps them out

>>85499205
He is, but that bar is set really high anyway

>>85494628
He killed Shen and Tai Lung, destroying the Soul of some guy who's lived for over 500 years is small fish to fry

>>85500178
>He killed Shen
Tbf he gave Shen a second chance and the cannon fell on him after he cut the ropes. So it was kind of not completely his fault.

>>85500640
He didn't exactly mourn him

>>85461480
That's not Oogway

>>85458996
Too many jokes, too little story.

>>85501804
The latter I can understand, the former I don't really. It's always been a comedy action series, I don't think there were any more jokes in here than there have been in the previous two

>>85501900
It's been a while since I've watched the previous two, but in my mind there was a lot less seriousness during the fights in this one, for example. Not once did the main characters take their fights serious. It was like "haha I'm hitting you in the face! ow haha now you hit me, oh well nevermind. haha what do you think of this, kapow". The ending fights especially.
Even the conflict between his fathers only got serious for like, 2 scenes.

>>85500923
Warriors mourning their enemies, especially an enemy who murdered his family and village, would be a pretty shit warrior.

>>85502038
I think that's more a problem with the lack of fights in this one. The one serious fight I can recall is when Kai takes Shifu's Chi, but other than that there just aren't that many really. Kai just stole Chi's rather than engage in any real combat.
I get your point though, the attack on the Panda village basically becoming Comedy relief just made no real sense. Po vs Kai wasn't as bad because they established Po wasn't really a match for him until he got superpowers after which he was free to piss around.

That said, the entire final fight in the first one was pretty much a running gag.

>>85502138
Po's not your typical warrior

>>85502751
No but he is still a warrior, no warrior how hard he may try will never kill bad guys. I always find it interesting how the good guy can murder a load of low level henchman (like the wolves) but then give the head bad guy the chance.

>>85502809
>the old stupid "if you kill him you're just has bad as him" nonsense
>while ignoring the fact the hero has slaughtered their way through an army of mooks and non one bats an eye

>>85502912

As much as I like Legend of Awesomeness, they really nerf the 5.

>>85503668
I tried to watch legend of awesomeness but it was fucking garbage, does it get better? also the animation was horrible.

>>85503969
It's okay I guess but everyone except Po is nerfed.

>>85504112
Wait what, how? Po is literally god tier after 2 how could they not nerf him? Also I felt that the characterizations were just off, like they were a exaggeration of what you'd expect the characters to be like rather than the actual characters in the films.

I felt the revelation of Chi in the panda village was unsatisfying.

The panda village was building up this whole "go with the flow" mentality. This has a lot of parallels in eastern philosophy. I was expecting Po to figure out that the Panda lifestyle is perfectly suited to mastering Chi. But there was no pay off.

Everyone just kinda figured it out at the last minute.

>>85507762
Yeah same, I mean, I get that they wanted the drama with his Dad not actually knowing shit, but having the panda lifestyle be synonymous with Chi would have made a lot of it make more sense.

I

>>85507946
Actually it made sense to me that the dad knew fuck all. I imagined that as the years went on, the knowledge of chi died out, but the laid back culture stayed with the pandas. Po would discover chi by understanding the panda lifestyle. When the dad was explaining how to roll down the mountain, Po would figure out that chi is like rolling. You let it flow naturally and dont try to force it, etc.

>>85508019
Yeah I didn't mean it didn't make sense the Pandas lost their sense of Chi, just that the film would arguably have made more sense if they hadn't, as them suddenly all learning how to channel their Chi at the end wouldn't seem so out of nowhere.
I suppose if Po could've learned Chi through the Panda lifestyle, that was the Dad's aim after all but it'd definitely have to be built upon until it feels satisfying enough he's learn enough about himself to know who he is. It'd be a pretty different movie.

Honestly thinking about it, Po's plan to use the finger hold on Kai was pretty stupid too. In the first movie it was just a move he figured out in a seeming instant and was more a humorous finish, in here it was some sort of be all end all finishing move. I get it was his last resort, but sticking on to fight Kai when he was literally told he can't beat him without Chi was a bit nonsensical too.

Even all that said, I've got to admit coming away from the film I wasn't immediately thinking this is shite and definitely worse than the previous two. They're all good, though there's some noticeable holes in this one.

Weakest of the three, but one of them has to be. Still pretty good; most problems are in the story, which isn't a good place to have them, but it did look amazing.

Help my fucking god yes.

>all that build up to him possibly losing Po
>turns out that not only does he stay he teaches Shen vital issues about poe and they grow together
>all that shit in KFP 2
He is the best.

I thought it was pretty bad compared to the other two. Could really have used more length. I think the entire premise was a bit stupid, honestly, the whole panda village thing. Bothered me a ton that Po never went "oh by the way dad I kicked the ass of the guy who killed mom", seems like something pretty important that you'd say when your dad is having PTSD flashbacks about the night the pandas were slaughtered.

I heard they worked a lot more with Chinese Dreamworks on this one, so maybe that had something to do with it. I'm fine with how it turned out as long as the series rebounds to something nearer to 1 or 2. I had a theory that maybe they were going to alternate, have the odd-numbered movies be super happy-go-lucky and the even ones be more serious. That said, I seriously have no idea where they're supposed to go now that Po is like the fucking grand master of martial arts. I was expecting them to save that for like the 5th movie.

Maybe this is the end of Po or something, and the next movies are about someone new. That might be okay.

>>85510662
Even assuming that, by the end of the film literally everyone and their dog had mastered Chi. Even Tigress did somehow when she really did nothing, it's like a whole section of development was cut out for her

>>85494628
If he didn't, Kai would have just found a way back to the living world.

Besides, Kai was robbing other warriors of their afterlife by harvesting their chi. His karma came back to bite him.

>>85514384
Everyone but those turned into Jade zombies it seems.

I liked Po father

>>85514712
Panda father? Can't say I liked anyone from the village. Village was pretty though.

>>85513977
>Po never went "oh by the way dad I kicked the ass of the guy who killed mom"
Well shit, I forgot about that too. They don't even bring up Shen do they?

So now I think we go ahead and guess what the next 3 are gonna be about...

>>85515763
Not sure about the next one
One of his own students introduced in 4 turns on him in 5
Kung Fu God in 6

>>85500923
It wasn't a sad thing for Po because Shen found his inner peace.
>dat fireworks peacock
>Shen could have moved out of the way like Po, but he chose to close his eyes and wait for it
>during the fight in the canon foundry, Shen says "let me heal you" and then tries to kill Po, implying that he thinks the only way to find peace is through death.

It had really great visuals, but it's a bit of a bummer that Po's character never really changes that much. I would have enjoyed seeing him grow wiser over 3 films, but in each one he's still a fumbling nerd, just a fumbling nerd who can destroy most people.

I would have liked if by 3 he was starting to be more calm and collected and less resistant to changes.

Other than that was okay, story was weak, and really wish we had seen more about the other warriors we never get to see, it's usually just the 5 and vague mentions of other ones.

It felt a bit like it had been through a slight production hell, like they didn't exactly know what to do with it. It is too fast paced and focuses too much on comedy. The previous two are a perfect blend of comedy and seriousness, with the result coming off as something quite epic, but this one decided to make it much more light hearted, which makes it the worst of the bunch. It's still good though.

>>85458996
It's my least favorite of the trilogy but still a good movie overall. My biggest issue is mostly having to do with the chi element. I get that they wanted to have a big moment where everyone realizes it, but it would've been satisfying if we saw them slowly figuring out how to use it through the movie. Maybe just a slight glow during all those failed attempts earlier in the film to show that they were realizing their true selves.

I preferred the first two, they had more gorgeous colour theory.

Seems like a pretty accurate caricature of CG cartoon designs; all hair and disgusting animatronic designs.

>>85468960
The Village trained and fell in love with Po, his sacrifice was the key to unlocking the chi at full power. I don't think it was normal for the baby pandas to be into the chi, even Po's adoptive dad could use chi at that moment and it faded from everyone later.

Actually I should be good to take WebM requests from any of the 3 films if you're after anything

>>85458996
Needed a better dues ex machina ending like kfp 2 and to a degree, one.
Kai needed to be a more sympathetic villain before he died. Neither Oogway, or Po really reached out to him at any point.

Just saw 3 a few days ago, probably going to watch them all again now after seeing this thread

Kumg Fu Panda would be best of they didn't try to be forced comedies, just regular kung fu movies with animals and some funny bits

>>85521342
Don't think it'd really have the success it has without them honestly. Making a serious kids film generally doesn't work out very well, was just watching Rango earlier and that's a good example of that. Honestly the comedy works just fine when it's done well. I think it helps make the series.

>>85521622
Not exactly serious, but not having a constant need to pepper everything with bottom of the barrel "comedy" would be nice. Kung Fu Panda 2 struck a nice balance, I think. 3 was pretty annoying.

>>85521709
Both 1 and 2 had a nice balance. Only 3 missed a bit here and there. I honestly don't think the balance was that bad, just that some of the humour didn't really strike right. There's a nice scene where the two Dads are talking about how Po needs them and then they embrace. It's good, but then that hugging Panda just interferes for little reason. It could do with less of that, but honestly I don't think it was that bad as a whole. The fights should have been a bit more serious but outside of that I don't think KFP3 was significantly worse than the previous 2 when it came to humour like some people seem to be making out

>>85521823
It was the focus on humor over plot development and good storytelling that hurt it. It was incredibly unbalanced.

>>85521952
Maybe I'll have to rewatch it, but I never saw the humour getting in the way of the actual story honestly. It felt like it told what wanted to be told, but perhaps just wasn't as great to begin with.

It's a high bar.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

>>85461480
Number 1 by a mile.

Watched it last night. It was terrible. Only thing I like is that the villain looked cool and Po's dad's for the feels. Rest of the movie was utterly garbage. And at the end suddenly everyone can learn super chi? Fucking bullshit. They could at least say pandas were naturals and have them just teaching others. They talked about it being this ancient ass thing, its the only thing that saved the turtle and suddenly all these lazy fat fucks and their mothers can do it. Po is also the worst character who succeeds by dumb luck, Kai and the furious five barely got to do anything. At least the first two had more characters to take up screen time to lessen the constant barrage of fat jokes.

Dad duck is still best dad though.

I'm not sure why I'm so forgiving with this series desu. A lot the flaws mentioned are pretty legit and I noticed them myself as I was watching. If it were another film or series it'd bug the shit out of me but here I just feel like I can let go of some of the bullshit like they can all suddenly do Chi.

Maybe because it's a comedy as well? I don't know. I feel like I should be angry at it but I'm not.

>>85523556
Frog, toad, turtle, tortoise who cares. I don't know what exact species he is not do I care enough to look but there are 'tortoises' in the turtle family and turtle is a catch all. I'm sure if I mentioned possum when referring to the north American animal you'd probably point that out too, huh.

>>85523713
frog and toads are amphibians, unlike tortoises and turtles

>>85461480
He was so in his own world and focused on his own shit most of the time I was really surprised he confronted Po's father. Be it his noodles shop, or his bond with Po, he'd generally only think about things from his perspective like when the Jade palace was destroyed and he worried about his Noodles. Or in the first when he'd rather Po sell noodles than make it to the dragon warrior crowning.

In the end it's clear he just wants what's best for his adopted son, what a top lad.

Have they confirmed 6 films? I saw something about 6 "chapters", but surely more than one chapter can be covered in a film

Don't see where they're going with six of these honestly

I would argue Kfp 2 didn't even have a deus ex machina ending, everything was pretty well established.

>>85523689
Honestly these films are just really charming, even the third which I think has much more wrong with it than the other two is really nice to watch, the characters are all generally likeable and all the films seem to have genuine emotion (especially the second). As a series I think they are Dreamworks best films.

>>85526951
the only one that really stood out to me was 3 because arrival of kai

>>85458996
Kai needed tweaking.

Tai Lung was a darker version of Tigress
Shen was a darker version of Po
Kai should have been a darker version of Oogway; a master that achieved some kind of reverse enlightenment.

>>85528526
>Not two and the panda village scene.

I heard the movie killed TiPo. Is that true? I can't tell if they're love interests or not.

>>85529773
if anything it strengthened it, if only a little

>>85529773
KFP2 just teased it from seemingly nowhere whereas KFP3 pretty much did nothing and kept them as friends. There was no hugging

>>85529934
KFP2 doesn't tease it at all really, it was pretty much established they were just close friends... Does two friends hugging in a very emotional situation tease romance at all?

>>85530038
No, it doesn't, but from anons post that it "killed TiPo", I thought he meant he saw TiPo teasing in KFP2. What I basically meant was that there was nothing like that in this 3rd one

>>85530104
Oh fair enough, also I really don't like the pairing, the series doesn't need forced romance like they tried to do with the random Panda in 3.

>>85530139
Yeah same, didn't like that Panda either.

Yeah that could be an interesting thing to explore. The fact that he followed this person for his whole life basically doing terrible things for him just for him to betray him and kill his pack member through collateral damage and being partly responsible for the packs exile in the first place by attacking the panda village. That would be some top tier exploration there. But that would be a creative risk so won't happen.

May as well have just drawn a middle finger on the page desu. There was so much wrong with It I can't begin to comprehend it.

I would've actually preferred if they did this as an arc on the show and let the Dragon god as the plot for a movie, that one was way more interesting than the movie plot

>>85507762

Really seems like they should have declared that. They were spelling it out clearly.

>>85534520
Bothered me, too. The thing they SHOULD have done was, instead of the Pandas not knowing Chi, they just didn't know how to TEACH it. Po's dad isn't lying to him about knowing Chi, only about actually being able to teach him.

>>85534756
>they just didn't know how to TEACH it.
Would have also tied into the theme of becoming a teacher much better.

I'd really love to know what Jennifer Yuh Nelson thought of how the third movie turned out, specially after making an amazing job director KFP2. Did she actually enjoy her work? Was she disappointed with it? Indifferent? Shit like this make me curious as hell.

>>85535079
Was she involved in the third one I thought it had a different director?

It was a joint effort between Yuh Nelson and another director, Alessandro Carloni. Apparently it was his directional debut - he did work in animation and story departments prior to that.

And it's not like the other guy had no idea about what the movies should be about - he was very involved with the first two as well.

I guess the most sound explanation is that DW reaaaally amped up the meddling to higher levels, specially to pander to the Chinese audience.
