I've come to tell past me to subdue my expectations for the fourth movie...🫠

This is the only franchise where I completely disassociate the movies from all other spin offs.

Yes, I enjoy the show. But the lack of the Furious five and the MASSIVE nerf to Po are definitely big downsides.

THIS AGED HORRIBLY- (woah 1k likes, TY!)

Despite the critical reception of the show, got to give props to Jack Black who gives Po’s performance 110% no matter quality.

The Furious Five weren't in The Paws of Destiny either.

You have Tai Lung - a notoriously ferocious kung fu master now turned jail breaker was told all his life that he was destined to become the Dragon Warrior, but through a rage that spiralled out of control because of being rejected from his father figure, he grew bitter and cold and his only goal in life is not because of the Scroll, its because he simply wanted to feel accepted and have Shifu be proud of what he became You have Lord Shen - a war criminal that committed mass genocide on a village of Panda's because of a prophecy that will be his undoing, out of fear he did the deed thinking this would make his parents proud, but all he got was disgust and terror, so was exhiled and spent years honing in the war machines so he can use them to conquer china, not only is he the reason the panda's were executed, but him and Po shares a history that Po wanted to block out, making the journey much more personal You have Kai - a spirit warrior that was friends with Oogway himself, but when he discovered he can harness and consume Chi, Oogway had to stop him, to that end, Kai felt utterly betrayed by Oogway to he once called his Brother. So he returned after 500 or so years after gaining Oogway's Chi- and destroyed the Jade Palace, his battle with Oogway not only felt more personal, but through his twisted mindset, he felt that Oogway wronged him and thus had a goal to which he shall destroy every bit of infliuence Oogway had in the real world And now you have these pathetic weasles

I really hate it when companies begin to oversaturate their cash cows like this.

After puss in boots, the 4th movie has high standards from me. Dreamworks better not disappoint.

as long as it’s not canon, i’m fine with it

Tai Lung, Shen and Kai would be absolutely laughing at this version of the one to be "The Dragon Warrior"

I’m actually both excited and terrified for the 4th movie. I mean it already felt like the perfect trilogy with the first movie accepting your present and the second excepting your past and the third accepting your future. I honestly don’t see how they could improve it in any way with the 4th movie but I will continue to remain optimistic.

to me 'NO TIGRESS NO LIFE.'

"They Nerfed Po" Finally someone said it. Po was Defeated by a Theif Hyeina like he is a Dragon Master Bruh Edit. Holy Shit.. Thanks For 6.7k Likes

That last bit aged like milk..

Need me some of that Tai Lung redemption story in KFP4, 5, & 6

The first kung fu panda spin off show was actually pretty good. There was much better continuity and referenced the main series movies. The dragon knight doesn't even seem Canon, as everyone refers to him as "the dragon master" when it's always been "dragon warrior". It's weird because DreamWorks spinoff shows are usually pretty good like all hail king Julien, the adventures of puss in boots, httyd race to the edge, all having pretty good continuity. By that I mean, when an event happens in the show, it isn't forgotten by the next episode. The humor was also pretty good, not really talking down to it's audience but still being edgy in a good way. Just feels as though the dragon knight was made by a completely different studio. Edit: I honestly think all of the DreamWorks spinoffs are just AU's of the main movies. For example, the adventures of puss in boots seems to be a universe where he never returns to San Ricardo to pay off his debt, explaining why he's so selfish and morally flawed throughout the show. Perhaps the dragon knight is an AU where the furious five retire due to an Era of peace in China, thus the role of the dragon warrior becomes more symbolic, explaining why he's now the dragon *master*. I'm definitely thinking too much about a show that the writers clearly didn't put any thought into.

But did anyone else see how choppy the monkey looked laughing 👀💀😭

I am not big fat panda, I’m THE big fat panda ~po

Legend of Awesomeness is the only KFP show I can aknowledge, it shows how Po's learning to be a hero since he recently became the Dragon Warrior, and the relationship he has with the Furious Five, Shifu and Ping is also so good. It had good comedy and antagonists too.

Honestly the old Kung Fu Panda TV series wasn’t bad

They literally took po and everything he became and made him an unlikeable character.

Well this aged..

Legends of Awsomeness was the goat of Kungfu panda series

Have you seen H2TYD into the 9 realms ? God bless your soul If you didn't, the animations and character models , that made me more terrified than puss when he was getting chased by death

I'd rather watch KFP legend of awesomeness

Kung fu panda will always have a place on my heart, when i was 3 i got really bad pneumonia, and i was hospitalized for a long time, and that entire time i was hospitalized, the only thing they had for tv was a kung fu panda disc, and i would watch on repeat all day for weeks, so kung fu panda has always been a high up show for me

“No furious 5” Me: EXCUSE ME?! THEY GOT RID OF THE FURIOUS 5?!

Couldn't just dust off legends of awesomeness season 3 Netflix?

Thank god it’s not canon

I already see the bad ratings coming, Kung Fu Panda is meant to be a Trilogy, because of Body, Mind and Spirit

Man got his title tooken away even though he was destined to be the dragon master/warrior

I loved both "Paws of Destiny" and "Dragon Knight".

That’s basically how Dreamworks is, there movies are amazing and their spin-off TV shows are… decent.

Angelina Jolie: I need a raise for the 4th movie if you can afford it Directors : *Fts Im out*

Old kung fu panda tv series was my childhood

Nobody remembers the other two Kung Fu Panda series that already existed

Kung fu panda gonna be good

I'd like to think that since this isn't canon, it's actually just Po writing a story about himself to pass the time until the events of the next movie.

The movie left a lot to be desired and made no effort to expand on the characters story or any of side characters we all have come to enjoy and love. What they tried to do was basically shove what we already knew and loved back into our faces with less supporting cast and characters with no clear goal in mind on how to expand the story already established and dumbed it down a little for everyone involved and it just didnt strike the right balance.

So glad it’s not canon. When I saw how nerfed he was in the beginning I thought this was at some point before the third but then realized it was AFTER! Po should be able to solo those weasels. I also hate it when Protagonists who spent a good chunk of their lives doing good get immediately hated on by the people because they had one slip up. This was accidental too so it wasn’t like he made an unwise decision. Dude got nerfed and turned into a clown like Naruto in Boruto.

i'm still not totally sold on Po being all that nerfed honestly. A lot of what I remember are things either po would likely struggle with or are things maybe he is just letting the universe guide him. We see near the end of the first season that Blade is literally no match for Po for something as simple as removing a gauntlet. Might be copium. But I believe the Universe is talking to Po. Telling him to hold him self back. Trust that some of those defeats are needed for the best out come.

I've always wanted to see a kung fu panda movie with a massive war and shifu getting a one man army scene

“Man I’m excited for that” Fuckin rip

In this series furious five should have included their fighting with po & friendship is fun to watch also love their comedy scene, if their no furious five thier is no fun of watching kfp

Probably removes the F5 to make room for the new characters which just leads me to want to see the teams meet

POV: you had no idea Kung Fu Panda was getting a new installment until March 7th

I feel like if they just did interesting shorts every once and a while, like secrets of the furious five, that expand on the lore of this universe instead of these weird looking shows they could get the same, if not more, amount of attention and profits. The style of animation they do for the shorts is amazing and it’s cool getting to know how the characters and their legends.

Just dont look at the side contents from KFP and its still a masterpiece collection

Kung Fu Panda 4 is supposed to be coming out march next year, so let's hope that it can reverse the pitfalls of the show

I'm gonna be sad when we finally say goodbye to Po

Returning to this. I have compiled a comprehensive flow of the KFP timeline. We start of with secrets of the furious five, because it’s the prequel. Then we have the original movie, Kung Fu Panda. Next the timeline splits. From here we have a timeline where Lord Shen died of early type diabetes 2, and so we go to legends of awesomeness. The other timeline, Lord shen did not die of diabetes and instead was diagnosed with HIV, so he’ll live a little longer, resulting in KFP2, and Legends of awesomeness never happened. We instead get the holiday special. We know this is the other timeline because tigress doesn’t like children in legends of awesomeness but she does in the holiday special. Now we go to KFP3 The timeline splits again. We get paws of destiny here. The second timeline we get Dragon Knight. The reason the furious five, master shifu, the valley of peace, Li and the pandas aren’t around is because Po and his dad were frozen in ice for 100 years and everyone died. They wake up in this new time era and decide to make a new life. This also explains why Po was nerfed because he was comatose for 100 years. And we have the non-canon timeline where KFP4 happens. Po and Ping never fell into that block of ice, and the four constellation children died in a barn fire tragically.

They totallyyyy need to add the *FURIOUS FIVE* in kung fu panda: the dragon knight!

I think the fault lies with Netflix more than DreamWorks, Netflix has a well documented track record of taking beloved franchises and producing subpar shows

Kung Fu panda without the furious five is like putting cereal without milk

Well, now we know the mext main villain is going to be a really cool Chameleon who shapeshifts into other Kung Fu legends and learns all their fighting styles and talents.

I like to think that the 3 movies are canon and that the shows are twking place in another universe where Po is Dragon Warrior supreme.

To me it will always be a trilogy.

The Dragon Knight unironically has great worldbuilding and a good story

Furious five be like: Uhmmn, hello! We are characters that exist!

Better than megamind 2.

“you were animating your tb shows perfectly just a few years ago, what happened?” they cancelled all lf the animated projects that people cared about.

I liked the Dragon Knight, we got to explore other places than just china and each character had their own significance to them. Well, to me at least.

"Man i'm excited for that" i am in misery

I'm more angry that they made a Lunar New Year Special so they could demonize the Chinese Dragon. Poe! You were one of those!

I was mad when they called him a Dragon Master instead of Warrior

Ya tigeress is the final Villain of kf6. So what happens now in kf4 and kf5 is that Po and tailung and Zhen becomes allies. Tigeress past is been revealed, very tragic because we know she was a princess of super strong kingdom. She got some reasons to be angry and mad for not knowing her past and HE BLAIMS PO FOR EVERYTHING SHE HAD TO GO TROUGH. After all the final battle will be ultimately Tigeress VS PO, Zhen and Tailung.

the creator planned 6 movies from the beginning, so he had this villain ready to go from the series inception

Finally someone watches all hail king julien I think the show deserves more recognition

The next Kung fu panda movie will probably be fire. They did an insanely good job with the new puss in boots, and I was expecting it to be another garbage sequel.

No Tigress = No Interest

They should've just brought back the legend of awesomeness

Thank god it’s not cannon

The movie came out and it was not good

Thank goodness for the turnaround in the middle, I thought this was gonna be a post just ragging on the show, which is still a good watch even if it's better non-canon, I mean they literally added England

Kung Fu Panda 4 is coming and the antagonist shapeshifts into tai lung. Im excited

No furious 5 For this reason, I am Out 😅

Hate to break it to ya-

Bro hasn’t watched dragons the nine realms yet 😂

Personally, I’m noticing the trend where the animation style for a lot of these shows and movies are absolutely less in comparison to what they have made before. The first movie came out in 2008, and the second came out in 2011. When you get scenes, like Tai Lung standing on the bridge, and you see his fur blowing in the wind with as much detail as possible. I’m seeing movie franchise that had perfect animation quality several years ago, make movies now that are very choppy. I just hope they don’t give Kung fu panda 4 the same treatment.

Are other kung fu panda shows not canon too? I hope so because movies are way better and have more sense on their own

Also they ruined how to train your dragon

****WEIRD EASTER EGG ALERT!**** In S2 E11, there is a scene where Po is teleported to this ‘void’ with master Mastodon, and we can see a glimpse of Tigress’s doll.

bro DreamWorks really wants to kill your dragon and milk the panda hahaha

The Kung fu panda shows are just cheap, ok shows.

This show is good.

After the first episode I dropped it like how did po someone who’s defeated shen and even survived a cannon shot straight at him and who also deafted tai Lun and the ox dude lose to a bandit hyena 💀

So we not gonna talk about the paws of Destiny…

FLOP TRASH MOVIE MEANT FOR BEING NOTHING BUT A CASH GRAB AND AN INSULT TO TO ALL THE EXCELLENCE ACHIEVED BEFORE, AS USUAL! 😑😒👎

The show sucks.

Dude tai lung is now back in the spirt realm after the death of kai. Maybe he’ll be the next villain again

I’m actually terrified of the KFP4 movie and I’ll tell you why. Throughout the first three films, Po had gone through a full character journey. There’s no where left to take Po’s character, so there’s few options that can be taken. The one I feel like would be best is the movie showcasing Po’s growth through him teaching another character, maybe if Tai Lung somehow returns he’ll have to team up with Po and Then he’ll learn his mistakes through Po. This is probably the best way KFP4 can be made. The one thing that I don’t want is unfortunately the most likely since the films really focus on Po. The one thing that KFP doesn’t need: Romance. This is a direction that this franchise should NOT take, leave it to people’s headcannons. Reasons romance doesn’t belong? In this sort of story, it works with Same species relationships. So that crosses out all the girls Po is actually close to and could make decent human couples with. But that means you’d have to turn to that one panda from 3 that ribbon danced, and I don’t even remember her name. I don’t even know if she was given a name! Pairing Po with such a non-character would be a horrible decision because they’d be trying to build someone to match Po, like THE PO, in a single film while still having to face the primary Antagonist cause without one it ain’t KFP. AND DON’T EVEN GET NE STARTED ON WHO THE HELL THE NEXT VILLAIN’S GONNA BE CAUSE I GOT NOTHING! In the end, I think that my Tai king idea earlier is the best Method for KFP4, are they gonna go with it? No. Is it gonna give Po A romance and that be the sole purpose of the film? Probably.

Second

Third

I thought I was the only one who thought the animation looked weird and the landscape looked a bit lazy. My sister thought it looked the same but it looks and felt different. I'm so glad I wasn't the only one

I personally think it’s gonna be a big hit, people prejudging to easily on a franchise that’s been pretty well received up to this point.

first ❤

bro just look at the wings on any characters when they fly they be levitating bruh

It seems that whenever Netflix partners up with another big movie franchise, it tarnishes its original content. Now there are some Netflix franchises that aren’t too bad, but let’s be honest, Netflix has one thing in common with Disney, they will never learn.

All I want for the 4th movie is to see Po as the badass and mighty dragon warrior he's fought so hard to become. ... And a villain capable of mopping the floor with him.
