Jokes aside, it's funny that everybody wants more of the KFP1 cast than anything else. Nobody cares about Zhen or Chameleon.
>Nobody cares about Zhen or Chameleon
I knew from the first leaks they would suck I just wasn't expecting fans everywhere to hate them more than I did while the movie still earned over four times it's budget already.
>I knew from the first leaks they would suck
Kek, so true. A plucky female thief and a cackling witch, two of the most boring character archetypes ever.
I think 3 was bad, but when they made Po a god-like being while playing kung fu Fighting at the end credits dance party to call back to the first movie, it looked like they wanted to end things there. I rather it ended there even if I think 3 should’ve been better.
3 wasn’t good, but Christ at least it tried. It was watchable and the theme of ‘learning to be the best version of yourself instead of trying to be something you’re not’ was at least consistent with the ideas of the previous films.
There’s basically nothing in 4 that even tries to be thematically consistent with the rest of the franchise.
Honestly now that I think about it? Yeah, that's a really good comparison.
Toy Story 3 was like the perfect end to the trilogy, a perfect send-off, it was just fricking great. But they had to keep the gravy train rolling so they had to shit out an unnecessary sequel that shits all over the previous movies.
First the first movie you only really need one single rival apprentice. In the second move they have less than nothing to do with the plot and Po's arc.
I love how every single review of this movie is exactly the same: >too much of the gay dads >not enough Tai Lung >villain is unmenacing >Awkwafina is barely worth mentioning >no F5
I haven't even seen the film and I feel like I never need to.
Her name? Rey Skywalker.
Literally what is her motivation. You dont even know why she's doing this other than lessen her sentence. She could probably just escape.
But when you find her ulterior motive is working for the chameleon then its just following orders. But then WHY is she following orders? Also I dont even know if anyone cares for any spoilers of this damned film.
i'm actually looking for a reason to give a damn, i could literally watch it right now but it just looks so fricking boring even for "ruining your childhood" standards.
>do you think people want to see tai lung, the well-received villain from the first movie who many thought deserved redemption >Of course not! What they really wanna see is this annoying quirky girlboss, these annoying moronic sidekick children, and even more of the annoying stupid pandas! People don't want interesting characters, they want annoying sidekicks!
Only the first movie was directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne. They left DreamWorks afterwards, not being interested in doing a KFP sequel and wanting to make other things (John wanted to get into live action and Mark wanted to make a The Little Prince movie)
you sound like one of those moronic cartoon "reviewers." you obviously knew what went wrong, yet you expect the rest of Cinemaphile to agree with your surface-level statement.
The Creed movies are the only example I can think of. But they're a unique example. >Adonis is set up as the son of an established character who was Rocky's friend, so we actually kinda give a frick about him >Rocky is closely linked with Stallone himself, who is obviously too old to keep being the lead in a boxing movie >the old cast is respected, but not too heavily leaned on. Only Rocky and Ivan Drago come back. >the writing is actually good, which is a miracle in today's Hollywood
Creed pissed me off from the start by saying Apollo was cheating on his wife and fathering illegitimate kids just so this new guy could be his son. It didn't piss on Rocky cause Stallone wouldn't have tolerated it, but it pissed on Apollo.
They messed up the villains motivation in such an obvious way it sucks, the movie starts mentioning mantis and you see shifu nagging po. The fox wasn't as annoying as I thought she would be but I hate how quickly she's chosen as the new dragon warrior and that she literally stole an actually touching scene from tigress in the second movie when she goes to hug him, and it's just not as impactful. Of course I was disappointed tigress wasn't in the movie at all basically but I was going to forgive that.
Someone in a comments section mentioned this whole movie was like the chameleon in that it can copy the general appearance of something but not it's skill or what really defines it (pre stolen staff anyway). And that's pretty accurate. I don't know how they have people working on this movie who don't seem to care much about the lore from the previous movies. This is bad enough on its own but then they also decided to release that megamind slop at about the same time. The people in charge at dreamworks really said >hey let's just take a fat steamy shit on the goodwill we earned from that puss in boots sequel
>villains motivation
Not even a cutscene. No flashback, no paper puppets, no 2D animation, nothing. Just a throwaway line. >Tai Lung had Tigress tell the story >Shen had a paper puppet story as this story took place a long time ago >Kai's is mentioned when the A Team look at Oogway's historic record
Didn't help that you barely see the Chameleon until the very end.

WHAT WENT SO FRICKING HORRIBLY WRONG IN EVERY FRICKING POSSIBLE WAY?!
(OP)
>hey let's just take a fat steamy shit on the goodwill we earned from that puss in boots sequel
Yeah, at least Ruby Gillman has soul, a disperse soul, but, a soul (and black mermaid).
Except the whole reason the franchise was popular was because the first two took themselves seriously and weren't just "haha funny fat panda knows karate."
Exactly. Most of the cast is played straight with Jack Black being the goofy character everyone reacts to. Even then, Po gets some introspection and “be who you are” lessons. The third and fourth really is just one big joke where there’s nobody to ground yourself in the story.
>it's why they're considered "Disney at home"
No wonder gayagascar sucked, because it was a worse version of The Wild. (Yet people will seethe, otherwise.)
I prefer to spoil myself on the internet over spending 30 bucks on the gas, ticket and food at the movies only to get angry or disappointed at how bad a movie is
Losing money sucks, but I find myself getting angrier at wasting my time on a weekend when I'm paying to be entertained

I thought he didnt even know Kung Fu, just how to manipulate Chi. I can’t believe they made chi act like the force, then in 4 made kung fu also act like the force. Some super power bullshit.
>Chameleon's villainous excuse for being evil and wanting to steal kung fu is because the bad men told her she was too small >in the same setting where shifu, master viper, and mantis exist
You said went wrong and I say, did you see the box office? This horrible movie is doing BETTER than Puss Last Wish. What does that tell you? Nothing went wrong. This garbage sequel is a success. And if this is Dreamwork's quality nowadays I hope they DIE.
I feel like there was originally script where Po gets Zhen released from jail without charges by claiming she is his apprentice during the beginning. The movie is about Po and Zhen bonding, but gives them no reason to do so. Chameleon is a pointless villain, until she is juxtaposed with Po as Zhen's evil teacher, going as far as turning herself into Evil Po.
>Jack Horner was cool thou.
That's pretty much why everyone liked it, his psychopathic behavior hard carried the movie. Without it it wouldn't have even been a fraction as funny.
Its just mind boggling how they had tai lung who hasnt been used in FIFTEEN years and is still an insanely popular character and cucked him for the shitty chameleon. Im a late milennial and for the late millenials early zoomers Tai Lung was ceo of based. The nostalgia that comes with him is massive and they threw it away for generic awkwafina bullshit. And who the hell cares about these underground nobodies. Like the rabbits who look cute but are rabid monsters. Such an insanely overused trope. Frick the directors.
That scene where he reveals the cannon and kills the rhino is so rushed. Why didn't we get a surprised reaction or a "master, look out!" from Croc and Ox? It's not like they were unconscious.
We could've at least seen a confused reaction or something after the box is opened. Instead, the movie pretends like Ox, Croc and Soothsayer aren't there.

Such a shame that he never took on any of the furious five.
All his action scenes are a treat and I'm convinced he would beat all of the five except tigress in a 1v1
>Andrew Adamson returned to direct to Shrek 2 >Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath returned to direct Madagascar 2 >Dean DeBlois returned to direct HTTYD2, while Chris Sanders served as executive producer >John Stevenson and Mark Osborne had zero involvement with KFP2, because they didn't want to make another one
I can agree that 2's humor isn't very good, but I still think it's a good sequel. Especially after the first act. >He worked in the first one because he was the underdog. Nobody believed in him or liked him very much.
2 continues that. He's still the goofball he was at the end of the first movie. He's still not the ideal martialist or Dragon Warrior despite his victory over Ty Lung. He initially "lost" to Ty Lung, failing to prevent him from getting the Dragon Scroll, and only succeeded due to his unorthodox style and working as a natural counter to him, and Ty Lung's broken mental state. But Po does show great promise due to what makes him unique, and continues to mature throughout 2. By the end of the first movie, the Furious Five respect Po for his merits, despite his off-putting quirks. And in 2, as he matures and works with the Five, particularly Tigress, their bond deepens.

The bond with Tigress in 2 was nothing great. Not much chemistry. The boat conversation is underwhelming, coming to a halt before reaching any heartwarming moments (and there was potential for such moments in that scene)

Tigress is a formidable character, the most formidable among the Furious Five. She and Po are not SUPPOSED to have good chemistry, they're supposed to have a developing bond based on slowly understanding and trusting each other as warriors. Her interactions with Po in 2 all contribute to the developing depth of their relationship. The boat scene may seem underwhelming in isolation, but it's part of a larger narrative arc that builds their relationship. Their dynamic is the peak of using empathy and wisdom, rather than natural chemistry, to build a strong bond with another person. And it's a crying shame that 3 and 4 did little to nothing, respectively, to continue building on their dynamic.

>"I foretold that someone would stand in his way. A panda"
No such nuance. Soothsayer literally says before the climax that she was talking about a panda.
She is wise, but the prophecy itself is independent of Soothsayer's recollection of it. Po and Shen could be considered the one to stand in Shen's way.
They shouldn't have brought the old villains back, honestly. Having a villain be "ALL OF PO'S OLD ENEMIES COMBINED!" is fricking moronic considering Po's list of old enemies is only 3 people long. Ooh, the return of his whole Rogues' Gallery, whom you can count on one hand and who do absolutely nothing. Big whoop.
It also sounds like two separate unrelated plots smooshed together: >Po meets a new protege >villain is all the old villains combined
It also sounds like the execution was lacking, since apparently (no I won't watch this shit movie) Chameleon goes down like a chump even with all the combined powers of the old villains. Kai was boring, but at least he seemed threatening.
Even aside from the Tai Lung wienerteasing, it was a shit idea from the get-go. Having the old villains there is just gonna remind people that they could be watching the older, better movies.
>bow to Po even though that makes no fricking sense with his character
I will download the 4K version just to check if he actually does that because I don't see it

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. This is the studio that made >the movie that shall not be named due to that one anon >Boss Baby 1&2 >Spirit Untamed >Flushed Away >Shrek the Third >Home >Monsters vs. Aliens
Kung Fu Panda 4 is a competently made film with good action sequences that's just a little less impressive than the first two installments and a wonky plot towards the end where a villain acts OOC.
>>the movie that shall not be named due to that one anon >Boss Baby 1&2 >Spirit Untamed >Flushed Away >Shrek the Third >Home >Monsters vs. Aliens
I'm confused is this supposed to be a list of good movies or awful movies
My problem with 3 and 4 is that Po is flat out told what he should be doing without an internal reason why. It's revealed later in both movies why it's important, but Po must take both charges on total faith. >it's time you became a teacher >it's time you chose a successor
uh, ok? why? >JUST DO IT
It's worse in 4 because the lesson ends up being "having back-up is a good thing", but 80% of the cast was written out of the movie for that to even be relevant.
Maybe this is a nitpick, but I feel like Chameleon "stealing kung-fu" is fricking stupid. How do you steal someone's ability to throw a roundhouse kick?
>People still don't comprehend the concept of unnecessary sequels being unnecessary
Geeee I guess we'll neeeeever know
People wanted more of the same, just with more Gay Lung and the useless five to not be so useless
People got shit, there's nothing bad with sequels if they give the audience hate they want, more of the same with a bit extra

DW is attracted to those like flies to shit, so it's only natural.
Didn't the directors say they had a plan for 6 movies?
The ones who had plans for these are no longer working at DreamWorks, and I'm sure they didn't plan Po to be replaced by a crook.
I think 3 was bad, but when they made Po a god-like being while playing kung fu Fighting at the end credits dance party to call back to the first movie, it looked like they wanted to end things there. I rather it ended there even if I think 3 should’ve been better.

That was an executive.
no
the actual phrasing was "6 parts to the story" and then every news outlet spun that as "6 movies planned"
It's a Dreamworks sequel, that's a consistent trait of theirs. Just you wait until they start making AI films...
sex with tigress and zhen
>furious five are relegated to a gay, post-credits scene
frick dw
Mid credits , anon, mid credits.
Poochie getting wrecked was the only good thing in this movie.
You can cut the superfluous five from the first three movies and it would make zero difference.
You can't cut their martial arts and dynamics with Po and Shifu without significantly weakening the first two films.
The dog character fricking sucked, but besides that, the movie was alright.
First the first movie you only really need one single rival apprentice. In the second move they have less than nothing to do with the plot and Po's arc.
But the Five vs Tai Lung was the best part of the movie.
It's so funny that 3 movies later they haven't surpassed any of the Tai Lung fight scenes.
I love how every single review of this movie is exactly the same:
>too much of the gay dads
>not enough Tai Lung
>villain is unmenacing
>Awkwafina is barely worth mentioning
>no F5
I haven't even seen the film and I feel like I never need to.
This is why I'm glad that I'm a DW cynic, because I'm proven right most of the time.

Explain how you assumed she's better than him in every way by that clip alone.

By that sentence alone, we all know she is going to defeat him
So that line makes her superior in every way?
Im going to save this post, and when the complete short drops showing her defeating Po, im going to call you out on it.
Stop being fricking obtuse.
Both of them manage to put the dumplings in each other's mouths and immediately stop dueling in the end. It's not that serious, you big baby.
Share the short, please.

Literally what is her motivation. You dont even know why she's doing this other than lessen her sentence. She could probably just escape.
But when you find her ulterior motive is working for the chameleon then its just following orders. But then WHY is she following orders? Also I dont even know if anyone cares for any spoilers of this damned film.
i'm actually looking for a reason to give a damn, i could literally watch it right now but it just looks so fricking boring even for "ruining your childhood" standards.
The pacing was really fricked way too much time wasted on Po's dads
Outside of maaaaaaaaaybe TLW, what Nu-Dreamworks film didn't get fricked in the ass by its pacing?
The Bad Guys?
It's got piranha braps, so it counts for something.
the pirahna is a dude. you're a homo.
good 🙂
It's not as bad if you skip past everything except the parts with Zhen in it.
She's not that good. Diane is a better coombait, despite being a Mary Sue.
She's mid but fappable if you're the type of person who gets off to Vulpera
SHUT UP YOU BIG BABY

>they want annoying sidekicks!
Dreamworks has been doing that since 2005, sadly.
Honestly who the frick keeps forcing this shit in literally every single movie? There is not a single fricking kid who liked them.
Out-of-touch execs who only think with their wallets.
Nothing.
Now shut up and give me the Dumpling Duel short, it's the only worth of this thread
Only the first movie was directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne. They left DreamWorks afterwards, not being interested in doing a KFP sequel and wanting to make other things (John wanted to get into live action and Mark wanted to make a The Little Prince movie)
I'm glad they didn't let being "big-shots" get to their head.
I hope kimcartoon comes in clutch in showing the short, it's been out for a couple days but can't find it anywhere.

but yes, the writing was horrible.
Do they explain where the F5 were during this movie?
Probably, but it'll be half-baked. (Assuming there's an explanation at all.)
po explains to some kids that each of them is out doing their own thing.
apparently mantis has a toxic wife.
Has there ever been a "passing the torch" movie that wasn't disliked?
The Creed movies are the only example I can think of. But they're a unique example.
>Adonis is set up as the son of an established character who was Rocky's friend, so we actually kinda give a frick about him

Im a late milennial and for the late millenials early zoomers Tai Lung was ceo of based. The nostalgia that comes with him is massive and they threw it away for generic awkwafina bullshit. And who the hell cares about these underground nobodies. Like the rabbits who look cute but are rabid monsters. Such an insanely overused trope. Frick the directors.
kfp1 is fun
kfp2 is cool
kfp3 and 4 are not important
I watched 3 and while its clearly not as good its all things considered a very splid movie
Requesting webm of Zhen eating the cookie
Sorry, no WebMs
Her muffled "my eye on you" sells this scene
https://youtube.com/shorts/R3bF_qpU4T0?si=EsTKHWVBxQh769v0
who eats cookies like that?
Cute fox chicks, that's who.
KFP2 is not a good movie
Kung Fu Panda 2 was far better than it had any right to be.
No. It's trash
Your favorite movie is Shark Tale.
That scene where he reveals the cannon and kills the rhino is so rushed. Why didn't we get a surprised reaction or a "master, look out!" from Croc and Ox? It's not like they were unconscious.
They believed in their Kung Fu, duh
They didn't know what the cannon was, moron.
We could've at least seen a confused reaction or something after the box is opened. Instead, the movie pretends like Ox, Croc and Soothsayer aren't there.
imagine trying this hard to tarnish the best film in the franchise. Just say you love sharktale you fricking moron.
Soothsayer dissapears after the first second. You can see her at the start, but then she's gone.
Such a shame that he never took on any of the furious five.
All his action scenes are a treat and I'm convinced he would beat all of the five except tigress in a 1v1
Better than 3. Only baragays liked that crap.
>Only baragays liked that crap.
Got me there. Though I like fat chicks too, so Mei-Mei fulfilled that end.
I didn't know other people liked Tigress this much. Apparently Dreamworks didn't know either.
Better Late than Never.
This guy isn't a compelling or well written villain.
he is not, and was never meant to be.
Why are you spamming? It won't make KFP2 any less the best one.
>its good because its LE SAD
KFP1 will always be the best because it isnt bogged down by overly dramatic shit
This is goyslop, no matter how much you jerk off to it

The humor of the second movie is terrible
Kids' movies don't have to be FUNNY, child. The second one wasn't a comedy. It and everything after it were just "family action".
>The second one wasn't a comedy
It sure as hell spends a lot of time trying to make the viewer smile, giggle or chuckle
It's no worse than the humor of the first one.
It is
I just re-watched them both, it really isn't. I would even call 2 a slight step up.
You have shit taste in comedy
You really think any Kung Fur Panda is the peak of comedy, and you think you can say that to me?
The same goes for all the sequels to be honest
if zhen didn't have digitigrade legs she'd be more popular
She should be beige instead of gray
Glad someone said it.
Still convinced it was a tax write off
Do you actually know what that means
>Andrew Adamson returned to direct to Shrek 2
>Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath returned to direct Madagascar 2
>Dean DeBlois returned to direct HTTYD2, while Chris Sanders served as executive producer
>John Stevenson and Mark Osborne had zero involvement with KFP2, because they didn't want to make another one
I don't see what's supposed to be so good about this. Unremarkable writing.
?feature=shared
It's cute.
It's awkward and unamusing
Maybe you just hate Po? He was always like that.
He worked in the first one because he was the underdog. Nobody believed in him or liked him very much.
I can agree that 2's humor isn't very good, but I still think it's a good sequel. Especially after the first act.
>He worked in the first one because he was the underdog. Nobody believed in him or liked him very much.
2 continues that. He's still the goofball he was at the end of the first movie. He's still not the ideal martialist or Dragon Warrior despite his victory over Ty Lung. He initially "lost" to Ty Lung, failing to prevent him from getting the Dragon Scroll, and only succeeded due to his unorthodox style and working as a natural counter to him, and Ty Lung's broken mental state. But Po does show great promise due to what makes him unique, and continues to mature throughout 2. By the end of the first movie, the Furious Five respect Po for his merits, despite his off-putting quirks. And in 2, as he matures and works with the Five, particularly Tigress, their bond deepens.
The bond with Tigress in 2 was nothing great. Not much chemistry. The boat conversation is underwhelming, coming to a halt before reaching any heartwarming moments (and there was potential for such moments in that scene)
Tigress is a formidable character, the most formidable among the Furious Five. She and Po are not SUPPOSED to have good chemistry, they're supposed to have a developing bond based on slowly understanding and trusting each other as warriors. Her interactions with Po in 2 all contribute to the developing depth of their relationship. The boat scene may seem underwhelming in isolation, but it's part of a larger narrative arc that builds their relationship. Their dynamic is the peak of using empathy and wisdom, rather than natural chemistry, to build a strong bond with another person. And it's a crying shame that 3 and 4 did little to nothing, respectively, to continue building on their dynamic.
You're giving too much credit to 2. Can't you accept that it's a movie that doesn't work?
Not without believing that, no. But I'll respect your opinion and agree to disagree.

Me and my Dog decided to give Universal and Dreamworks a $6 dollar tip.
Lord Shen was not a good fricking villain
No one asked
Tai Lung >> Lord Shen > Kai >>>>> The Chameleon
Lord Shen was the warrior of black and white that lead to his downfall.
>"I foretold that someone would stand in his way. A panda"
No such nuance. Soothsayer literally says before the climax that she was talking about a panda.
She is wise, but the prophecy itself is independent of Soothsayer's recollection of it. Po and Shen could be considered the one to stand in Shen's way.
>Shen gets brought back just to instantly lose to a w*man and then bow to Po even though that makes no fricking sense with his character
They shouldn't have brought the old villains back, honestly. Having a villain be "ALL OF PO'S OLD ENEMIES COMBINED!" is fricking moronic considering Po's list of old enemies is only 3 people long. Ooh, the return of his whole Rogues' Gallery, whom you can count on one hand and who do absolutely nothing. Big whoop.
It also sounds like two separate unrelated plots smooshed together:
>Po meets a new protege
>villain is all the old villains combined
It also sounds like the execution was lacking, since apparently (no I won't watch this shit movie) Chameleon goes down like a chump even with all the combined powers of the old villains. Kai was boring, but at least he seemed threatening.
Even aside from the Tai Lung wienerteasing, it was a shit idea from the get-go. Having the old villains there is just gonna remind people that they could be watching the older, better movies.
>bow to Po even though that makes no fricking sense with his character
I will download the 4K version just to check if he actually does that because I don't see it
He does the same little fist-into-palm thing that all the other characters do
He actually doesn't, check the scene again. All he does is a small bow.
I'm sure the only problem is Zhen having a shitty, Arctic Foxes tier design yet Twitter hypes it up.
Corsac fox, not arctic.
writer's strike: the movie
>Offmodel
APAGE SATAN
I heard if you suck on her toes long enough she goes back to being on-model.
Not into feet, but she looks hot still.
Upload "Onmodel" art then.
>Po, you'll have a baby!
>IN EVERY FRICKING POSSIBLE WAY?!
Yeah, I'm not seeing it. This is the studio that made
>the movie that shall not be named due to that one anon
>Boss Baby 1&2
>Spirit Untamed
>Flushed Away
>Shrek the Third
>Home
>Monsters vs. Aliens
Kung Fu Panda 4 is a competently made film with good action sequences that's just a little less impressive than the first two installments and a wonky plot towards the end where a villain acts OOC.
>>the movie that shall not be named due to that one anon
>Boss Baby 1&2
>Spirit Untamed
>Flushed Away
>Shrek the Third
>Home
>Monsters vs. Aliens
I'm confused is this supposed to be a list of good movies or awful movies
they are a list of movies that are far more deserving of the reaction "what went wrong IN EVERY FRICKING POSSIBLE WAY?!"
Flushed Away was a good movie though. Much better than everything else on that list.
What on earth do you have against Flushed away
>Spirit Untamed
this is literally the first time I've heard of this movie
It was always meant to be a six part series wasn't it? The first three were po mastering kung fu and the last were him as a master
SHART KALE
>no tiger mommy in kfp4
what were they thinking?
Short is on twitter on Zhen's account
Go go go go!
Not enough snake
Don't worry bro she'll have a line or two in the next movie
short was
mid
unsurprisingly
KFP2 is unbearable trash
that was was hurtful, thank goodness she's a cartoon character who never gets damaged
My problem with 3 and 4 is that Po is flat out told what he should be doing without an internal reason why. It's revealed later in both movies why it's important, but Po must take both charges on total faith.
>it's time you became a teacher
>it's time you chose a successor
uh, ok? why?
>JUST DO IT
It's worse in 4 because the lesson ends up being "having back-up is a good thing", but 80% of the cast was written out of the movie for that to even be relevant.
Maybe this is a nitpick, but I feel like Chameleon "stealing kung-fu" is fricking stupid. How do you steal someone's ability to throw a roundhouse kick?
dont forget biting ass, powerful kung fu technique
she stole that from tai lung, only this time she bit the right tail
