DreamWorks have a pretty outstanding track record when it comes to creating menacing, entertaining, and all around iconic villains. But with the recent release of Kung Fu Panda 4 giving us The Chameleon, it's not hard to see how the previous films in the franchise wrote their villains substantially better.

​​​@@Arko777777Intimidation starts with at least describing some of a characters feats so the audience feels the stakes and understands why the main characters should be threatened. You can have a good design and amazing powers but that doesn't automatically polarize a character as a threat. We knew she desired power, sure, but her plans were stereotypical for a villain, lacking unique motivation when compared to past content for the franchise as a whole. If they were going to dedicate themselves to making just an entity of pure evil instead of a dynamic villain, like the past antagonists, they should have devoted more screen time to the use of her powers or her enjoyment of destruction. They really could have done a lot with the chameleon and zhen but for some reason they decided to replace that with a ton of filler starring Mr. Ping and Li

The Chameleon didn't live up to her potential as a villain because she served as a plot device. She brought Kai back with the Staff of Wisdom despite how Po obliterated his spirit in the spirit realm. Not only does this contradict the previous installment, but it proves that she was forced into the narrative.

[@Paul-wh7ev]

Shen also. It was never said outright, but the implication in KFP 3 is that only kung fu masters go to the spirit realm. That's kinda the antithesis of Shen's character.

[@thezman9522]

"Somehow Kai returned."

[@cyborgboy3070]

Don't forget how many things kung fu panda 3 contradict just by the fact that Po... died in kung fu panda 3... thus is a spirit warrior... oh oh and how about the fact that Po CAN'T DIE cause he isn't a mortal. Kai not taking the Chameleon's chi is a huge contradiction considering he is able to take someone's Chi if they are weak enough not even *needing to restrain them* Li being cowardly is so damn stupid cause in Kung fu panda 2 he is the only one shown to fight any of the wolves when Shen murders all the panda's and SURVIVES and in kung fu panda 3 he teams up with Mr. Ping to go against Jombie SHIFU! How does the Chameleon even know who Kai is when SHIFU didn't know? How does no one know who Po is yet knows exactly who Shifu is? If the Chameleon knows about Kai then surely everyone should know about Po it's an embarrassment. The Chameleon's backstory make both Viper and Mantis irrelevant *(as if they didn't feel like minor characters ALREADY)* Po having trouble finding inner peace thus breaking Kung fu panda 2. Po letting ZHEN a person he KNOWS ISN'T a kung fu master NOR has ever tried Kung fu he sent to fight the Chameleon when it's shown later he could've gotten out and fought her ANYWAY. C O O L. Shifu taking in five random people to be candidates for the dragon warrior and none of them being the furious five OR EVEN THE FUCKING PANDA'S of the THIRD MOVIE. Disgraceful that is all this movie is.

[@Curbotron]

@@cyborgboy3070 very good and accurate response and i wholeheartedly agree. although the chameleon would know of kai because he returned recently, but shifu didn't because it had been 500 years since kai. I'm sure in another 500 years everyone will go back to forgetting kai, and then hed probably just return even though he should have died and ugh

[@Dragzilla66]

Exactly!

[@MoonWielder]

What’s disappointing is that Po never mentioned to The Chameleon that he was also underestimated. Once Po was chosen to be the dragon warrior by Oogaway, Shifu thought he had made a mistake. That being the case, Shifu was harsh with Po until he accepted the reality of Oogway’s choice and realized his true potential. This could have helped The Chameleon feel accepted and motivated her to change. Such a wasted opportunity.

[@goatlover6312]

Honestly I think a better story for her would be Po’s story gone wrong. She was a starry eyed Kung Fu enthusiast who became a student under a renowned master. Just like Po she kind of sucked when it came to how most learned to fight and she didn’t manage to learn anything. Po was lucky that Shifu found his talent and how to motivate him but Chameleon’s master was not as flexible and simply labeled her a failure and threw her out when he concluded he couldn’t teach her. With her dreams crushed she sought revenge using any means necessary and therefore turned to sorcery. Combining her natural shape shifting abilities with the sorcery she learned she wanted to rise to the top of the Kung Fu world and prove everyone who doubted her wrong. Somewhere along the way the power went to her head and she lost track of her original goal and the innocent child she used to be.

Something I noticed that the Chameleon lacked that every other Kung Fu Panda villain has is a personal connection to a pre established character, Tai Lung was Shifu's adopted son and first student, Lord Shen was responsible for the near genocide of the Panda species, General Kai was Oogway's friend, these connections not only gave these characters more interesting backstorys but also gave each story (especially the second one) a much more personal stake which made the story infinitly more engaging. The Chameleon doesn't have a connection to any character that we care about, so it's hard to get invested when I couldn't care less about the story or this character.

Tai Lung and Lord Shen are two of the best cartoon villains ever made in my opinion. Beautiful designs, intriguing backstories, and great motivations.

I was hoping the Chameleon would have SOMETHING fun for me to enjoy about her…but, uh, no :)

Watching these clips made me realise how the fourth movie is nowhere as stylistically interesting as the previous three. The three earlier villains had their own signature colours: blue for Tai Lung, red for Lord Shen, and green for General Kai. Heck, even the scene in which Shen killed Master Rhino had the sky coloured red, drenching the whole scene in Shen’s menace. The Chameleon had no colour. No anything, really: no real name, no backstory, no motivation, no intimidation factor. Sigh.

[@Dragzilla66]

*Kai’s Theme* - PEAK FINAL BOSS FIGHT With Kai’s backstory he indeed got power hungry for chi but also hated the fact that Oogway never told new generations of China about Kai’s existence after he had been defeat, effectively erasing him and his Kung Fu accomplishments from Chinese history. That’s why he attacked the Jade Palace than just gathering more chi from the rest of the Furious Five that were left. Crane and Mantis were already jade zombies at that point.

[@horakhtythecreator6911]

Viola Davis can do menace. Look at her performances as Amanda Waller and Dr Volumina Gaul. She can be scary but KFP4’s script gave her so little. As for why she would be turned away from learning Kung fu, what they SHOULD have done was turn her away not for her size, but because she wanted to learn it for the wrong reasons. Not for betterment of herself and to protect, but for the power and to make people submit to her. That’s what gets her kicked out by her first teacher, and every other teacher after that once they discover why she wants to be taught/realize they were being misled by her. After so many times, she then finds a teacher in sorcery who does teach her into mastery of the craft. Maybe she tricked her sorcery teacher into doing so having learned manipulation from her failures with previous teachers and then further honed this skill when she took over Juniper City. Then add all of your additions on what to do different with her and voila.

[@IcyDiamond]

I feel The Chameleon could’ve worked better if her backstory had involved her strict parents never truly thinking her Kung Fu was good enough. Which led to her internalizing that and also believing she wasn’t good enough. Which is why she felt she had to steal the skills of dead Kung Fu masters, because she believes she isn’t good enough as herself.

[@skysiren4113]

Here's how I would've written her backstory (I'm not too familiar with Chinese history/mythology, so if anything I say is inaccurate, please let me know if your more well researched with it) Ever since she was a child, the Chameleon was always interested in sorcerery, having been told stories about those who are being highly respected, so for most of her life she studied to learn magic, eventually learning the ability to shapeshift. However some kung fu masters started to believe that sorcerery was dangerous and evil, especially after what happened with Kai, so they started banning the use of sourcerey, spreading fear and lies throughout the land, which causes many people to shun sorcerers, including the Chameleon, and in extreme cases even kill those who they believed would use their magic for evil. Angered by this the Chameleon now wishes to take the power of all kung fu masters, both living and dead, to not only to become stronger, but to also use her shape-shifting ability to paint kung fu masters as dangerous so people start to fear them, so they can know what it's like to have people turn their backs on them because of fear and lies spread by those who don't understand While I'll admit it's not perfect (it might be a little too similar to Tai Lung and Shen's backstories) it would've been a far more interesting backstory and motivation for her, you understand why she's doing this and to an extent can sympathise with her, but also see that she's going too far with her actions

[@voicedubgaming2286]

See that would've worked so much better holy shit "They rejected me bc i was short" - Wrong, inaccurate, we've seen Masters that even she would tower over just by standing "They rejected me bc they considered my sorcery a threat" - Powerful, sure it's a bit cliché but tropes and clichés aren't inherently bad to use, I legit just a huge fan of the idea of a villain that only became one in the first place bc they were treated like one simply for having a power people looked down on and shunned them for.

[@Loner098]

Having her turn into Oogway just to break down every inch of Po's core belief in himself near the end or even just as an exchange alone would have made her a far more compelling villain, on that knows her opponents and their weaknesses and brings back old scars to the surface making Po ultimately confront his wrong doings and the weight of the death of his past villains and failure of Oogways' ways or even just how he cant be a master or a spiritual leader and a disappointment on every regard because of everything happened in the past movies brought back to haunt him and make his failures overshadow his successes. Having the chameleon be another of Oogway's students who failed her everything and turned into not embracing herself and who she is, creating this personal turmoil and identity crisis taht fed her hunger of power and prooving herself as better than everyone including her own master by feeding on thr power of others to proove she can be better than all of them and defeat the strongest warrior there ever was, letting her anger out on Po for everything hr is that she could never really achieve, which lead her empty could have strenghened the themes of Po being a spiritual guide and what were to happen did he not take on that hold, giving space for villains like her to take advantage of the breach and destroy the balance for their own benefit while also providing self reflection and closure on po for having to become a master and find a successor, learning to become a better master than Oogway himself could earlier on in his life. That would have been powerful

[@davisgoodrich8183]

I love her character design. The way she transforms looks so cool.

[@No-i-Des]

This is a small critique here, but another element they should've added to the chameleon is her own unique color theme, similar to how they did with the past three villains, Tai lung blue, Lord shen red and Kai green. It's a cool detail that adds so much more to their character, personally i think purple would've been a good choice for her, as the color is usually associated with Royalty, which is kind of her role in this movie, it helps her stand out but also stay in theme with the past villains.

When it comes to the Chameleon and her backstory, I would’ve made it so she was very passionate about kung fu and ‘getting stronger’, but believed it would be too difficult to her, and instead took an easier route of just stealing the powers of other villains to make herself stronger, which also causes her to become power hungry in a sense. It would kinda mirror Po in a way, as despite everything Po didn’t give up, and worked for the entire first movie to get his abilities, while the Chameleon does zero work at all and simply takes the abilities of others to make up for her lack of power and experience in kung fu.

[@thelostlucario7138]

[@funnyhappystudios]

[@DmotionT]

I haven't watched the movie. But I have heard how bad the Chameleon backstory was. Honestly, they could've said she was too frail and weak to do kung fu. And I mean like, someone couldn't do kung fu because of a health condition/disease, she'd be jealous because her dream of doing kung fu was taken from her since birth. Her powers can work with this. When Chameleon transforms, she feels happier because she is someone else, Instead of her weak, frail self. It would also be a dilemma for the movie and what the message would be. Because the movie would be like "Be yourself, rely on your own strength." But how can she rely on her own strength when she never had strength in the first place (physically). That would be an interesting story to tackle. It has a few parallels to Po's whole journey in the last 3 movies, to find who he was. Now he has to fight someone who is just as lost as he was back then. It's too bad that they fumbled with the story.

[@jakeybakey4271]

Gotta love how they copied the first 3 movies. “Let’s have a dragon warrior and screw w/ Shifu like the first movie. Let’s take over a city like the second movie. Let’s have the move set be Kirby like the third movie.” Not plagiarism when you’re copying yourself. 😂

[@masonstewart6232]

Funnily enough, Kai also represents change better than the Chameleon. A lot of people don't know this, but there is more to Kai's motive and backstory besides destroying Oogways' legacy. Oogway was a conquerer like Kai, and most certainly had evil or malicious traits like him too. But after learning from the pandas, he managed to change, but Kai did not and saw only power that Oogway would've seen. Oogway changed for the better, while Kai empowered his greed and way of thinking. This also makes more sense for Kai's hatred toward Oogway as well. His best friend suddenly switches sides on you and betrays everything you fight for, then after killing you, lets your memory and legacy be forgotten by time. It makes much more sense while he's bitter, and it even ties into Po as he also has to experience a way of change from student to master, but also having to understand himself on a spiritual level. But then we look at Chameleon who's motive is that she's small, despite the fact that there are several kung fu master much smaller than her yet are renowned and far more experienced.

[@Slick-Salamander]

You know what would've been cool? If Zhen was the Chameleon in disguise, slowly revealing her tragic backstory in the form of Zhen. Maybe make it similar to how poorly Po was originally treated in the first movie, but without an Oogway style figure's positive teachings. Then at some point in the movie the Chameleon reveals herself and her plan that she wanted to learn Po's mannerisms and traits and secretly replace him before flinging him to the "All is Lost Moment" (maybe literally). There are 3 benefits I can think of: 1: Her plot is simple but effective, establishes her as a threat, and actually uses her shapeshifting powers beyond fighting. 2: She becomes more sympathetic, similar to the other villains in KFP, and maybe she could have even came to enjoy Po. Don't need to have her redeemed, but its an option. 3: It allows Po to learn to be a mentor and a more spiritual leader naturally, using Zhen/Chameleon as the stories theme driver. I’d probably also remove the staff having powers and just have it be a staff, something symbolic more than a weapon, and give Chameleon more powers like magic fire or making statues come to life to fight for her. As for the problem of this limiting the amount of Chameleon being shown as a villain I’d probably give her a henchmen that she gave a little power to that can disguise as her to keep up appearances.
