Kung Fu Panda Reaction | First Time Watching

[@robbyistheg.o.a.t5212]

That look in Tai Lungs eyes when Shifu apologized before he went back to raging on Shifu. Like once he apologized Tai Lung thought for a second "Maybe this isn't worth it" at least that's the symbolism I got.

[@onemuststand7353]

It was a point to be made. The scroll and attaining power was his biggest ambition. The only thing that rivaled his ambition was his yearning for approval. Tai Lung valued his self worth in power through the scroll and Shifu's words. But the power from Shifu's words were too outweighed by then and his obsession with the scroll just won over.

[@robbyistheg.o.a.t5212]

@@onemuststand7353That's better than how I put it, thank you

[@adamtheriault6743]

​@@onemuststand7353i think it's more so that, if he got the apology sooner, it would've actually stopped him Tai lung was right there, about to get the scroll, the apology is appreciated but it came too late I wouldn't say the power outweighed it because, during the fight, what does he rant about, how powerful he is, or how he wanted approval from shifu? It's just that it came too late

[@TheOddestBall]

Even though the second movie is definitely the best of the franchise with the best villain, Tai Lung is my favourite character of the trilogy. There is not a single weaker scene with Tai Lung. Ian Mcshane's delivery is *chef's kiss*. His relationship with Shifu is so well written and the lines: "What I ever did, I did to make you proud! Tell me how proud you are Shifu. Tell me. Tell me!" gives me shivers every single time.

[@cradodragmire1563]

Yeah I thought I was the only one that preferred the 2nd one. nice.

[@Just_a-guy]

" Who drove me to train until my bone cracked". He really was promise that if he will train more he would get scroll and he did just that. Shifu was just bad teacher of kung fu focusing more on just combat

[@Hawkeyespeedblitz]

Subjective. Imo the first movie is easily the best

[@noox13]

@@Hawkeyespeedblitz It's okay to be wrong sometimes.

[@TheOddestBall]

@@Hawkeyespeedblitz Absolutely. The first one is my favourite too. I just meant that the second one is widely accepted to be the best of the trilogy. 👍

[@MrCrazyLeprechaun]

Damn I envy that dog. Takes me forever to fall asleep and the slightest thing can wake me up, but that little guy? Dead to the world. What a legend.

[@GirlofCulture]

The movie what told me the true meaning of the phrase "Never judge a book by it's cover" . And the sequel is even better.

[@onemuststand7353]

Po really was a clumsy skill-less buffoon though. At first. The cover of the book really did tell the content of it at the time. The difference is that the book wasn't finished yet. ☯️

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yup. It surprised us pleasantly 🙂

[@ryannixon4138]

@@onemuststand7353woahh

[@sam-psonsmith9951]

A lot of people miss it, but they actually hinted at the "Secret Ingredient" plot. When Po makes noodles for the Five and says that his Fathers is so much better because he doesn't know the secret Ingredient. And their immediate response is "What are you talking about, this is amazing!"

[@outcast5732]

I know a lot of people like the movie for its comedy, but I love this movie for its great characters, beautiful message and moments, it’s greatly underrated villain, and it’s severely underrated action and fight sequences!!

[@ericrodriguez990]

I've always loved the comedy but the message about self belief massively trumps the it

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Villain was very good for having short screen time 🙂 and yes the messages in the movies are wonderful 😀

[@jasonl8681]

Dreamworks didn't skimp on the casting for this trilogy, and the fact that all three films are consistently excellent (though personally I hold that two is the best one.) speaks to how much love for the genre went into them across the board.

[@Purechaos61]

Tai Lung is truly one of the best written Dreamworks villains out there. As the movie explains, Shifu trained Tai Lung with the hopes that he would become the Dragon Warrior. His name “Tai Lung” actually translates to “Great Dragon” in English. Tai Lung was a gifted student, and both he and Shifu firmly believed that he was the Dragon Warrior. But when Oogway denied him the title, Shifu, while upset, didn’t argue against it. And this was what drove Tai Lung to villainy. Becoming the Dragon Warrior meant everything to Tai Lung. It was his one and only goal in life. But he only ever wanted it because Shifu wanted it for him. Because Shifu taught him, raised him, and trained him, Tai Lung wanted to do whatever he could to make Shifu proud. And so when Tai Lung was denied the title of Dragon Warrior, the one thing both he and Shifu had been spending his entire life working towards, he looked to Shifu for support. He wanted Shifu, his master and his father, to say something. To argue against Oogway, or at the very least comfort him in some way. But Shifu said and did nothing. He only turned away in disappointment. This sent Tai Lung into a rage, but it also only deepened Tai Lung’s lust for the Dragon Scroll. Tai Lung doubled down on becoming the Dragon Warrior. It was all he had. It was the one and only thing Shifu had ever wanted for him. And because of this, Tai Lung truly believed he was destined to become the Dragon Warrior. And he would do whatever it took to get there.

[@JynxGod]

so glad you guys watched this movie! po is one of my favourite animated protagonists of all time, he’s such a sweet and fun guy - one of my favourite scenes from him is the one where tai lung is upset about the dragon scroll and po’s first instinct is to try and comfort and validate him for what he’s feeling. that “it’s okay, i didn’t get it either at first” is so indicative of po’s kindness and i LOVE it. and his journey of self-love and acceptance is a great message for everyone! sometimes the only thing holding you back from being great is your own self-doubt… what a great message. thanks for the upload, loved the reaction 💚

[@cbhsoulreaper1393]

I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but you should remember what Tigress said: "a single dew drop the energy of the universe." It's a little hint for the other two movies.

[@kelaarin]

The dragon scroll being a reflective surface wasn’t an accident. You see yourself, and your own worth. Po looked at the scroll and saw “it’s blank” (ie a blank slate, ready to be taught). Tai Lung looked at the scroll and saw “nothing”.

[@TalkingHeadProductions]

interestingly, the fight between The Five and Tai-Lung on the bridge actually _is_ legendary, because it was something that had never been done before at the time, and the animators initially had no idea how to do it.

[@virgoleo81]

Fun fact: There's this fan theory that Viper has a crush on Po. You can see she always like being around him, is kind to him even when none of the other Furious Five are, and even kisses the training dummy that looks like him in the end credits.

[@doctorsnakeeater1997]

That's the most relaxed snoozing dog I've ever seen in my life.

[@abucket14]

i can't wait for you to see 2 and 3; this is one of those rare trilogies where all three are good.

[@XC11301991]

The voice actor for Tai Lung in the Spanish dub did an excellent job when he was telling Shifu the how proud you are lines. It sounded like Tai Lung was crying but also with much rage.

[@quachdaivy]

I think what Bethany said about Master being a title rather than being a teacher is correct, because Po called the Five "Five masters" before.

[@angryspaghetti7422]

I hope you watch 2 and 3 as well. I love your guy's reactions. :) The Kung fu panda series is actually such a great tool for self-help disguised as a comedy-cartoon series.

[@Charvale]

I'm so happy that you both decided to watch The Kung-Fu Panda trilogy, and I hope you enjoy the movies as much as I'm enjoying you're reactions. The Furious Five calling Po "Master" was their way of saying "Welcome to the team" since all five of them are masters in their own rights. The second movie is a marvel to behold.

[@CyberDalek17]

This movie has a lot of great moments and messages, the Present line, Believing something is special, but my favorite has to be the I'm not Hungry line. It may sound like a throw away line but there's a bit of context behind it, for one he eats when he's stressed but it's more than that, the start of the scene they say "when you are trained, you may eat" the dumpling was a test of what he has learned, so when he tossed it back saying he wasn't hungry shows that he still wants to learn amd grow "when the student is ready, the teacher appears." And if you close your self off in one mindset you'll never truly grow and learn from other sources and others, whether in Kung Fu, Cooking, or any other examples in life

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

My childhood! Ah, the memories!

[@venomousteam1732]

Even tho the movie is old, I still back to watching these kinds of movies for fun

[@stephenwilliams5004]

This movie is a great start to an amazing trilogy. I cannot wait for you to do the next one.

[@mredwinplays]

This is one of my favorite movies, and seeing you watch it makes me really happy:) Hope you react to the other two movies, the second one imo is the best

[@davidbergfors6820]

I forgot about how legendary Jack Black is! One interesting thing to notice, if Shifu hadn't sent the goose to check on the prison holding Tai-Lung, he would never have escaped, as he used the feather to unlock his restraints.

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

22:30 I'm always dissapointed when reactors don't say "quit hitting yourself" in that scene 😁 You didn't dissapoint though, good reaction to this movie, that is pure awesomeness. DreamWorks really knocked it out of the park with this trilogy, and the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, two of my favorite movie trilogies of all time, regardless of genre, animated or not.

[@DMG551]

Honestly, these are some good movies to own physically copies of. It’s a strong series and I think you guys will love the rest of them!

[@daays6646]

Your dog just sleep for the entire movie is soo freakin cute 😂❤

[@NinjaTyler]

That dog is in slumber heaven I had to rewind the discussion afterwards to actually listen to what you said multiple times 😂

[@MoEyda]

I think something people miss is how much the furious five enjoyed Po’s needles and he said to them you should see my dads secret ingredient soup but the was no secret ingredient so they enjoyed it so much because it was the same.

[@spellofoblivion313]

Jack black is so amazing it’s hard to believe that he’s getting up there in age 😔

[@gohanmoreno7]

You should react to Shifu vs Tailong battle with latin-spanish dub (México, Central america and South america) Tailong voice actor was so invested in the character that you can sense more backstory just earing his dialogues in that short battle! Little to say that i'm very proud of our official dubs :')

[@Drake844221]

I really do love this movie and the whole... through-line of self-mastery and self-actualization. It is something that I've strived for for a long time now. And yes, that whole sense of the weight of expectations makes it even more difficult, but once you learn how to achieve it, there's very little in the world that can stop you. Fun details, though. One, Sifu (which means "master" represents the Chinese philosophy of Confucianism, while Oogway represents Daoism. It would be worth looking into the way those philosophies play out in the two characters. It's really worth the time. But, on top of that, in the fight on the bridge with Tai-Lung (which means "great dragon"), each of the members of the five uses Sifu's advice to them after they try to ambush him. They included a lot of great details with these movies, and I can't wait for you to continue with the journey.

[@josephdavis9234]

I so want an American version of Kung Fu Panda, where all the animals are ones native to the Americas like beavers or coyotes and the main character is a bald eagle who learns the art of the cowboy.

[@nonya8562]

Nice lol I have a movie suggestion. It's on Netflix and the others are optional but I recommend High & Low. It's a movie about 5 gangs uniting to fight off a large invading gang and the Mafia to protect the people. They don't allow drugs so most gangs in the city challenge them often.

[@cakekiller1051]

So glad you guys are watching these. My favorite animated trilogy next the how to train your dragon

Surprised you didn't recognize Seth Rogan when Mantis did the signature laugh

[@ZacFalcon5782]

Great reaction guys, I'm so glad you reacted to this movie its definitely my favourite DreamWorks movie same with the second one, tai lung has always been my favourite villain I really love his character, you should definitely watch the second one it's also amazing 😁👌

[@dogzilla0578]

After you check out the next two movies, make sure to check out the Death Battle between Po and Iron Fist from Marvel! It's pure awesomeness!

[@jacobcarlisle2201]

Fun theory that Tai Lung was going to be the next Dragon Warrior, but Oogway needed to test him to see if he could let go of his pride and ego, so when he was rejected and lashed out that was Tai Lung failing his final test, so had he responded with humility and let his ego go he would've been chosen as the dragon warrior.

[@SonBellamy]

My favorite animated movie!!!! Yes!!! I said on another vid but if yall havent watched Avatar the Last Airbender i think yall would love it!!!!

[@hopejaworski9097]

And Winston in John Wick

[@jordonclarke1632]

Nah your perception them saying master is pretty spot on, they were acknowledging PO as an equal if not greater... it's not them calling him master in regards of like master shifu because po still calls shifu by his title

[@pun-inator6075]

Tai Lung was immobilized until the guard stood on his tail

[@CaptAlCaboose]

I had to watch the reaction twice because I was just obsessed with staring at the puppy :D

[@margretrosenberg420]

I'm told that the Furious Five are representatives of the five styles of Kung Fu. Po must learn a different style, the style of the Panda, which relies heavily on his ability to bounce. Just as Master Shifu, and later Po himself, can use Po's continual hunger to empower him, so Po must learn to take advantage of the very qualities that once made him hate himself. I'm glad you're watching the whole trilogy; Po is on a hero's journey and learning to accept himself is just the first step on that journey.

[@xabisompushe9100]

That was the greatest escape from prison of all time

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

Speaking of which...Po vs Iron Fist Death Battle soon?

[@Samfry523]

Tai Lung is easily my fav villain of the KFP trilogy. He's a prime example of "don't give others certain expectations to measure up to", something Tai Lung did when Shifu put it in his head that he would be the Dragon Warrior. When Tai Lung found out he wasn't, he was enraged and attacked his own teacher and foster father. All he did had been done to make Shifu proud.

[@JechtTheLegend]

Tai Lung's name also translates to "Great Dragon".

[@gavin745]

I was waiting for this

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Ah, that sweet lil snoozy pooch does my heart good.

[@arcadius2569]

Absolutely love the message of this one. It can go two ways, probably more. You can be just who you are, and accomplish all you can accomplish, and it's enough. You can defy expectation and fate, be so unique that you can do things in ways others cannot. Something for everyone! You guys will love the second one I can tell. It answers all your questions and is absolutely stunning visually.

[@shadowmeka.5205]

one of the greatest animated movies of all time a true masterpiece of a trilogy .

[@kingbeauregard]

Ian McShane is Al Swearengen from "Deadwood". So I can't help but imagining him growling: "How is it, in the very ancestral homeland of Celestials, I still find myself bedeviled by hoopleheads?" This movie's got its charms but it frustrates me. To its credit, it encourages people to not give up. But my gripes are: 1) It also encourages people to believe in the "the ONLY thing I need is self-confidence" myth. Sorry, but very few of us are The Chosen One, and it's healthy to realize that, in all humility, you probably won't be the hero who falls ass-backwards into greatness. You are no doubt something worthwhile, if you apply yourself (and probably for a long time); but none of us could be absolutely anything we wanted to be. 2) Oh boy, the old trope of "fat person is motivated by food and can perform miracles if you tempt them with food". Like that wasn't played out 30 years ago.

[@garyballard179]

Very cynical view. Self-confidence is vital, of course; but this is also America, where you _can_ become whatever you want to be. There was a guy that became a multimillionaire by selling _pet rocks,_ for Pete's sake. The "schtick" of food motivation is so prevalent because it's largely true. Nor was it "miraculous;" Po was already an expert in Kung Fu simply through his fanaticism. He only needed focus and motivation to learn and develop the muscle memory required to actually _perform_ Kung Fu. In fact, what he was really lacking was the self-confidence to apply everything he knew about Kung Fu.

[@nonya8562]

Seth Rogan was cool as Mantis. Lucy Liu was the reasonable one as the snake. Jackie Chan didn't talk much as Monkey. Angelina Jolie really did her thing as Tigress. Jack Black just flat out made the movie gold as Panda.

[@elijahbaker781]

The second one gets even better

[@perseus1498]

You cut out tai lungs best part when fighting shifu :(

[@CaptainCFalcon]

Gotta be completely honest, I'm really disappointed by how much you cut from the Shifu vs Tai Lung fight. There seriously one of the most impactful parts of the whole movie. ESPECIALLY the ending of it, with the "Tell me how *_PROUD_* you are, Shifu!" Actually, thinking about it, you guys really snubbed a lot of Tai Lung's already limited screentime. He's not in the movie very much, but when he *_IS_* it's powerful. I really hope you guys don't do the same for She'eng in the next movie. The villains in Kung-fu Panda are seriously some of the best parts of the series.

[@theuone8828]

To be fair, the cuts are probably the only way they could upload this ... I'd say ideally nothing would be cut from a masterpiece like this, but yeahhhhh ...

[@CaptainCFalcon]

@@theuone8828 well the cuts were relatively spaced out, but for some reason Tai Lung's moments were cut the MOST. Barely saw anything of his Prison Escape & battle with Shifu.

do you take requests?

[@plasmaowl5281]

Sad detail is how Tai Lung could've been chosen if not for Shifu. The final fight parallels with Po's fight with Shifu for the dumpling: Tai Lung successfully taken the scroll from Po like how Po successfully taken the dumpling from Shifu

[@garyballard179]

No, Tai Lung's aggressive nature was a terrible fit for the role of a protector. Besides, he likely would have found the true nature of the scroll to be offensive had he been given it. He would've felt cheated.
