Lord Shen is the most perfectly written villain of all time. Evil to the core, but still vulnerable enough to be emotionally scarred by his parents' disapproval. No remorse, no regret, and no hesitation. He also has a well-defined mission and even gave excellent displays of passion and commitment. Not to mention an excellent fighter, leader, strategist, intellectual, and always camera ready. Lord Shen is the best!

[@Goldenbane]

I love Tai Lung by far over the other two main villains. He's more sympathetic than the other two, and his motives go beyond mere greed or power. He's also awesome because he's completely self reliant. He's self made, self built. He didn't cower behind goofy weapons, nor did he rely on bullcrap magic. All Tai Lung had was himself...and that's all he needed!!

Did you watch ANY of the movies??? Firstly, he was not self-made not self built, shifu literally trained him everyday. And Kai most definitely doesn't Rely on bullcrap magic....The chi power is kung-fu itself, not to mention Tai Lung have no chance against Kai even in hand to hand combat + Shen was not cowering behing goofy weapons, he knew his weakness and made up for it using his brains making a machine that can send you to the spirit world in literal seconds...but Tai Lung would be too arrogant and proud to even acknowledge his weakness. AND, His motives go beyond greed and power???? REALLY?? His backstory to why he became a villain was literally HIS GREED FOR POWER😆😆. I hope you're joking....if not, then You should re-watch the trilogy and you should actually listen to what they said instead of simping over Tai Lung

[@RickyBobby42069]

Just being trained by someone does not make you a fighter. A coach/teacher will help you to have better technique, combos, drills, conditioning etc. But the majority of the work are done alone. Hitting them pads and heavy bags, sparring, getting hit, developed the ability to eat pain etc. Fighting is a solo journey and you gotta be iron both mind and body. Doesn't matter if you've the greatest coach in the world, if you're not willing to get hurt, you ain't gonna be great

Shen is one of the best villain in cartoons in my opinion, his backstory is honestly about how his parents failed to raise him by seemingly not giving him enough Love, thats something most people might experience, his defeat and realization also showed us an example of someone realizing they're bad but they still do the things they do because they simply fell too deep, they are in on it and they feel like they can't get out, they have no other choice, but there is always a choice

[@farah_nm162]

Tai Lung is relatable on a humane level because he perfected himself just to make Shifu proud, and he feels like his right to become the Dragon Warrior has been stripped away from him. Shen was always viewed negatively by his parents, who loved him unconditionally, and he found solace in the destructive capability of gunpowder. And he manipulatively mirrored it to Po, who wanted to know the truth about his own past. But Po, after gaining inner peace, managed to move forward from the tragedy unlike Shen. I think he and Death from ‘Puss in Boots 2’ are some of the best villains created by DreamWorks. Kai walked along with Oogway all his life until he was corrupted by the power of qi, and used the dark side of qi to get glory and fame like Oogway, or even more than him. A really cool compilation of the Kung Fu Panda trilogy, Isaac; it’s my favourite DreamWorks film series. Can you do another DreamWorks film theory video, like Madagascar or Puss in Boots, please??

The irony with Oogway and Kai is that Kai didn't actually lose his way. It was Oogway who changed from a destructive warlord into a being of harmony and good.

[@DrippleDragon]

Tai Lung was one of the very few to master the 1000 scrolls of Kung Fu next to Oogway himself and is shown that Tai actually mastered chi but in a dark way,to learn chi he mostly learned it from Oogway, it had to be taught by someone who already knew how to control it aka Pandas, the Pandas after Shens invasion became lazy, and lost the secrets of their martial arts, Tai knew the Pandas that the world knew were gone by the time he learned how to control chi so when he sees the Dragon Warrior is none other than a Panda it legit looks like a joke “He’s the Dragon Warrior?! Him??? He’s a Panda, YOUR A PANDA. What are you gonna do big guy sit on me??”

Idk if this is factual but I remember once reading that Shen's backstory was that he was always viewed as being sick and weak due to him being albino That would only make his story even more tragic as he didnt just grow evil and obsessed with the power of fireworks, but his dark path originated from his insecurity that couldn't even be filled, as he said himself, with all of China

What I find similar about these three is that in their own opinions their family figures (Shifu, Shen's Parents and Oogway) betrayed them and they just wanted to make them happy, but their thirst for more power corupted them and they underestimated their enemies resulting in their defeats.

[@aaronalkor]

Tai Lung represented an obstacle to Po’s journey into becoming the dragon warrior. A physical opponent, Po had to learn to overcome his weaknesses to become a Kung Fu Panda. Shen represented an obstacle to Po’s journey into becoming the dragon warrior. A mental opponent, Po had to overcome and accept his past to become a greater Kung Fu Panda. Kai represented an obstacle to Po’s journey into becoming the dragon warrior. A spiritual opponent, Po had to learn who he was and what he was meant to be in order to overcome his opponent and become the true Kung Fu Panda.

[@Mystic-4252]

I actually like the sky motif and nightly battles that they use for Kung Fu Panda villains. For Tai Lung's, the skies were gray, dark, and stormy. Po defeats Tai Lung under the light of the sun. For Shen's, the clouds were crimson and dark as a setting sun. Po defeats Shen at sunrise For Kai's, the sky was gloomy, cold, snd jaded. Po defeats Kai in the brightness of the spirit realm upon mastering Chi

[@inominat5940]

Tai Lungs story also kinda explains why Shi Fu was so against Po becoming the dragon warrior. Not only his students were basically told "None of you are worthy of the thing you trained for all this time.", but this random, fat and unskilled Panda now was taking away the place he wanted his son to take.

[@fawfulgerakobits5504]

It's a big shame they left Kai's descend into darkness unexplained cause if his reasoning was to protect his brother but once this said brother betrayed him, he would realize no one loved him but himself, leading into his quest to acquire power and use it to protect himself was his actual backstory, he would be in par with both Tai Lung and Shen in the complexity department

I was always curious about the snow leopards, like what happened years ago that would force them to abandon one child-Tai lung, given how he apparently had a sibling which I’m assuming they were the older one and they were able to grow up and have a child that also had natural talent for Kung fu

[@PriggarGaming]

Lord Shen attacked them because they were Balck and white Just a theory

[@盧璘壽로인수]

well Oogway's quote about destiny is basically rooted from Greek tragedies (e.g. "Oedipos Tyrannos", Danaë mentioned in "Antigone", Zeus's potential unseater in "Prometheus Desmotes") also headcanon Shen's research was probably originally alchemical in nature (i.e. *eternal life* if going by his way of thinking + how you defined 神), mirroring RL Taoist origins of the invention of gunpowder (火藥 lit. "fire medicine") green as an "evil" color is mostly a *Shakespearean invention (Othello & Merchant of Venice)* ; in China green (either 青 or 綠 depending on context) is a color associated with life & vitality, similar to neighboring cultures as well as the West in general also for the Chinese, high quality jade was *preferably light green to almost white* , not vegetable-esque green as most Westerners think

I’m stoked to see a video on this trilogy. Absolutely love Kung Fu Panda and definitely a set of movies you can watch over and over. I have to agree with previous comments that Tai Lung is the one you can relate with the most, but as for best villains I have to go with Kai because he’s not just relatable with that hurt of feeling “betrayed” and what length some will go through when they’ve been betrayed, but also one that was so close with the strongest kung fu master we seen with Oogway so we knew he was going to be beyond a threat leading to an amazing story.

[@theeverythingcasual4296]

In regards to Kai and the green color of taking Chi; "the more you take the less you have," quoting Oogway. When you take someone's Chi it corrupts the Chi and compresses it. When all you want it the stuff, you lose the value of what they stuff is. Hence why Kai couldn't take Po's Chi, because it was given and the none corrupted Chi. "...it's too much, too much..."

This isn’t a prediction, per se, but I’d love if the next movie follows the redemption of Tai Lung. It’d be fire if an army of Snow Leopards invaded Po’s city, and it forces him to reflect on how he handled Tai Lung, outright killing him before understanding him first. One trip to the spirit realm, and Tai is still struggling with his history, with Shifu betraying him. Po attempts to reconcile with him throughout the film to mixed results. His arc can continue past this point, but for the movie it’d be really satisfying if he helped Po to ward off the people that abandoned him long before Shifu ever did. Even better if the one organizing the invasion was Tai’s mother, who unwillingly left him at the Master’s Temple after deciding she didn’t want a life of war for her son.

[@SporadicV2]

It’s odd to me that Oogway left the possibility of leaving the Spirit Realm on the table. Also odd is us learning the nature of what the Wu-Shi Finger Hold actually does. All in the third film, possibly a direct preceding to the fourth film coming up.

Both Sozen and Shen wanted an empire to rule over they wanted people to fear them and they wanted power so they did whatever it took to realize their efforts. they both discovered that someone who would try to stand in their way for Sozen It would be the next avatar for Shen, a warrior so they both committed genocide to ensure that would not happen. Sozen knew the next Avatar would be an Air Nomad so he set off to end them all while Shen knew the warrior would be a panda and did the same to the pandas. Fortunately the mother of the warrior panda sent him away so that he could grow up peacefully while the Avatar hid in Ice to avoid capture by the Fire Nation. They were both discovered by people for the panda it was his soon to be Adoptive Goose Father Mr. Ping for the Avatar two Water Tribe teens Sokka and Katara.

Hey Isaac, have you heard the new about Phineas and Ferb returning for two whole brand new seasons? Are you excited for it to? What do you expect to see in the new seasons?

Tai Lung:The Most Baddas😎Kung-fu Panda Villain Lord Shen:The Most Popular and Iconic Kung-fu Panda Villain Kai the Collector:The Most Powerful Kung-fu Panda Villain

[@Helllo68]

you got a point cuz some times peppele say that kai is weak but he can take chi

[@meganj2799]

Oogway did not purposely erase Kai's memories. In fact, Oogway wrote them down so that they would not be lost! Oogway was beloved because of how long he had lived and the good he had done. Could Oogway have persuaded Kai to use his newfound power in a better way than literally destroying innocent lives?

[@ParadiseEdits14]

my ranking for the villains is: 1. Tai Lung 2. Kai 3. Lord Shen I know some ppl are gonna argue that lord shen is better than kai better i just like kai better, i understand that ppl are gonna say that he had the closest connection to the protagonist but this is my opinion and i just like kai better because he was just more intriguing to me and he had the best score, he was also way more stronger which mad him a bigger threat so yeah i just like him better.

its so good am in love u just needed some music in the back but this is gold well done dude

[@hollyhopa8846]

I swear all three of them had something to do with the major characters past, like Tai Lung with Shi Fu, Shen with Po and Kai with Oogway

[@micahbell7840]

I hope Ty Lung gets a Redemption Arc. He deserves it.

[@chanderraghav]

Yeah well sorry but it is not going to happen because Tai Lung is dead

[@addictedtofauna3838]

No he doesn't. He wasn't justified in attempted murder on Shifu's life and didn't hesitate to attempt and kill Po despite him trying to reason with him.

[@oakhermit7438]

He doesnt, he try to murder everyone just bc he wasnt choose to be the dragon warrior, also he never showed anything good as a person ,so why he deserves a redemotion arc?

[@PhoenixGal15]

Fun Fact: Kai in Maori/Te Reo means food which is a funny way of thinking about the villain

[@Cazz8203]

Seems like the smart thing for kai to do in that final battle was to use Oogways chi for that final battle.

[@dopenessthe4th]

Now imagine that the way you explained Kai was executed well in Kung Fu Panda 3 Would've made Kai much more of a memorable villain In my opinion

[@akisatsuki8444]

Kai deserved better imo

[@zerrierslizer1]

allowing Tai Lung to return as a Villain, but perhaps a bit more spiritual, since he is already dead, it could be interesting. seeing as Ta Lung was incredibly powerful AND skilled, by then also being a Spirit Warrior, he could give Po the greatest and perhaps even last challenge of his life.

[@teamsteed1]

Thank you for posting the video. I've always wondered about the villains in the "Kung Fu Panda" movies.

[@terrillgoodwinejr537]

In April 2023, during CinemaCon, it was announced that Mike Mitchell will direct the film, with Stephanie Ma Stine as a co-director and Rebecca Huntley as a producer, while Jack Black revealed the story, which follows Po trying to find a new Dragon Warrior while facing a new villain, the Chameleon.

[@kareenaharrison9249]

I will admit my most favourite character was Tai Lung, but my most favourite villain boss music was when po fought with Kai the song was pretty good

What if they made a movie of Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and General Kai team up as a villainous trio and we're fighting against Po 💙❤️💚

Wait, so the biggest villain of all is the goat lady. She knew he was listening in and knew that all the other pandas would be killed. That means she is the one who let him listen in, so the prophecy comes true!!!!

your explanations of characters are amazing bro rs i’ve never seen somebody be able to get the message across as well as you have

[@ilovecheesecakee]

Wow! How did more than half and hour fly by like that! I’m not even a huge KFP fan but this was such an insightful and well summarised video of all the villains. I love the deep dive and the analysis of the depth of the antagonist in the story. Subscribed and I can’t wait to see the video after KFP 4 comes out!

[@MitchT97]

Looking back on them now I see even more so they were all victims of their own hubris. Wanting not necessarily wrong things but doing it in the wrong way and only double down after not just feeling but actually being neglected. No one wants to be told their wrong and will push to prove a point when told your not doing things the right way. I have to say all of them were kinda abandoned instead of helped which is the fault of the supposed good guys of the story. Still both sides are very relatable. Who can say they’ve have never had to deal with feeling inadequate. It hurts when the people you care for most try to stop you from being who they turned you into to begin with. Sorry for the long comment but one interesting point. Tai Lung is technically a warrior of black and white. It’s funny to think what might’ve happened had he not let his pride swell so much.

[@BeDatAPickle]

I'd love to see a video on which kung fu masters you think Tai Lung could beat in battle.
