Tai Lung was the second strongest martial artist in the land after Oogway and Po no sells everything he throws at him and then kills him in one move. Why does Po bother dodging/blocking attacks in the sequels considering he has invincible rolls of fat? Why does he waste his time punching mooks? If he figured out the Wuxi Finger Hold in a weekend surely by the time of the sequels he knows dozens of techniques that can turn entire crowds of mooks into mist with a wave of his hand.

Because he's not immune to blades

The point is Tai Lung's technique was a very specific towards pressure points. He wasn't punching Poe at the end, he was trying to hit his pressure points but couldn't find them because of all his fat. He was kicking Poe around earlier in the fight
Then in the sequel Lord Shen fought using metal blades and cannons. No amount of fat makes you immune to swords
>If he figured out the Wuxi Finger Hold in a weekend surely by the time of the sequels he knows dozens of techniques that can turn entire crowds of mooks into mist with a wave of his hand.
Very large assumption. As far as we know the finger hold is one of the strongest techniques. You also have to grab someone by the pinky long enough to do it

>grab someone by the pinky
no no, you grab them by the index finger. Flexing YOUR pinky is how you perform it.
>>90271209
what if po, a martial arts and chi (philosophy I guess until he learned the magic part later) master didn't actually want to murder dozens of helpless mislead boys like an American cop?
>>90275261
That's not very American of you, comrade.
>>90271209
Fat doesn't stop blades and canons and I'm pretty sure he lost weight so it wouldn't matter even if it did
Po is Saitama
It's mentioned at the beginning of 2 by his dad that Po has lost a lot of weight.
That's the writers signaling to you that he's lost the ability to use his fat as armor.
>>90271209
I'm honestly surprised Po straight up kills him and it's kind of a comedy moment and he's just never even referenced after that. Like Po, man, you just killed a guy. And that doesn't phase you?
>>90278385
Well, he did show him the way toward redemption but Tai Lung refused.
Same for Shen.
It's Kai who's immortal soul got popped like a balloon without any kind of second chance.

Being Tai Lung is suffering
>>90278385
3 fixed it by revealing that it just sends the person to the Phantom Zone.
>>90279457
I'm pretty sure "Banishes to the afterlife dimension" is just a kid friendly way of saying "Kills"
