Kung Fu Panda 4 is a movie that exists

This movie hyping up returning villains only for them to do nothing is a real Sonic Forces move

" i couldnt learn or be taught kungfu, cuz alot of masters said i was too smol" viper and mantis:.....

A kungfu panda movie without furious 5 That already sound wrong

No Furious Five. No Shifu. No backstory for the villains. No new plot or character development. They make the movie so short because they think children will not be able to watch it? Seriously? Children managed to watch the first 3!

Tai Lung: Tests Po’s physical prowess Shen: Test’s Po’s mental prowess Kai:Tests Po’s spiritual prowess Chameleon: Tests the audience’s patience

"The most evil thing the Chameleon does is kick someone down the stairs." BRUH Shifu literally kicks Po down the endless stairs of the Jade Palace in the first movie 💀

If I were to describe the movie in one sentence it would be "The longest Kung Fu Panda Short"

Poo fighting that sea creature at the beginning was more intense than his fight against chameleon. That's how bad the movie was

Shen: Commits Genocide. The Chameleon: Pushes someone down the stairs.

the Chameleon had the combined strength of every past villian yet ironically felt weaker than all of them

the chameleon: i was rejected from every kung fu school bc of my size the writer forgets mantis and viper exist.

kfp4 feels like a watered down version of kfp2: - we gotta go to juniper city vs gongmen city - similar chase sequence escaping the villain’s henchmen - villain is a traditionally weaker animal whose power arises from a replacement for kung fu (chameleon = sorcery, shen = technology)

I feel like the Chameleon’s powers perfectly represent the quality of this movie: it can imitate the appearance, but can’t replicate the technique

But WHY does he need to stop being the dragon warrior. Hes still young. Hes actually INCREDIBLY young for a kung fu master. Shifu has mentioned throughout the movies how FAST he is learning techniques, what takes other masters DECADES to learn and master he does in a few weeks/months

Tai Lungs backstory: I was meant to be the dragon warried but was denied the scroll Shens backstory: I used fireworks to make weapons which scared my parents into calling a fortune teller, the teller told me I'd be defeated so I genocided the pandas to stop it from happening Kais backstory: I wanted to harness all of chi to become stronger so my best friend stopped me which only drove my motivation to steal all the past warriors chi's Chameleons backstory: They called me short :(

They really want us to believe that the chameleon is the most dangerous villain, her most evil action is pushing people through the stairs, meanwhile shen committed a whole genocide towards pandas 😂

“Po’s greatest enemy” my ASS. Logically, it would be Shen since he has a major role in Po’s past. The Chameleon was half baked before she even came out of the oven

The Co-Director of the movie, Stephanie Mastine, had some amazing ideas. She said she wanted to make the movie truer to the first 2, and Jack Black himself said she brought actual depth and heart. Po would've had a vision of Shifu being kidnapped by the Chameleon, prompting Po to go on a quest to stop her. Despite his best efforts, she would've succeeded. This would've raised the stakes, displayed the Chameleon as a real threat, and allowed Shifu to be there at the end to say goodbye to Tai Lung. Stephanie also wanted Zhen's redemption to be more fleshed out, ensured it to have both dialogue and action, and for it to actually happen onscreen, much to the chagrin of the writers who just wanted her to swoop in out of nowhere to fight the Chameleon before quickly disappearing again. Meanwhile, the director of the movie, Mike Mitchell, wanted the movie to be more laughs and joke-y. He wanted Chameleon and Zhen to have ZERO backstory whatsoever, and by the time the crew convinced him that, you know, giving the main villain a backstory is kind of important, they were too late to do anything more than add in those few lines. Many crewmembers came up with ideas for Zhen's backstory, but they were all discarded. The film was made so short because they believed children couldn't watch a longer film, and also because they'd get more money. Guess which of these two guys they decided to give full creative freedom.

Chameleon felt very villain-of-the-week, and Po kept calling it out too! Predicted Chameleon was in the doom fortress overlooking the city, recited Chameleon's plan to her face, etc.

I read someone else’s comment that instead of her reason for turning to villainy, they should have made her have just really fragile bones like a real chameleon and therefore NEED to turn to magic. I also think they should have made her a villain that tests Po’s intelligence and strategic ability by making her politically and mentally really strong, something we have seen Viola Davis do in Amanda Waller. Also, I think she should have somehow stole Po’s staff, using Awkwafina’s character, because of how powerful it is, and mixed with her magic she could have resurrected the past villains and have them under her control with the promise of taking revenge on Po (but they wouldn’t be as powerful since she isn’t stupid and wouldn’t resurrect them at their most powerful so that any of them could beat her). Now, with the staff and the other previous villains under her control, she could convince the country that they don’t need the dragon warrior, or something to that effect. Awkwafina’s character would feel bad and turn over and help Po in trying to get the staff back. Then, in order to test his new sage knowledge, Po would have to convince each past villain to fight alongside him and even have moments of hearts to heart with them (especially Tai Lung), maybe even have a small training montage as they try to get back the power that the Chameleon took from them, then they all use their strengths in order to take down the Chameleon with the staff, this would end the story with Po seeing the past villains off as they return to the spirit world, put in a touching moment between Shifu and Tai Lung and I think that would have been interesting. Of course, this also isn’t perfect as I just made it up in like 5-10mins but tweaked and more fleshed out that would have been much better than what we got I think. We get to see the past villains, touching moments with Tai Lung, the Chameleon gets to become apart of the roster as a good villain who can stand with the rest, Po learns how to be more sage-like, and maybe awkwafina will be less annoying
