Theory Kung fu Panda : Why Po can't longer be a dragon warrior.

I've been thinking about this theory since Movie 4 came out, so let's get to it.

Let's ask ourselves a question. Why did Shifu make Po choose the next dragon warrior?

Shifu said in the movie 4, Oogwar chose Po as his deputy. Even Master Oogway said so himself.

Oogwar: You finally became the panda you were always meant to be.

Po: But, how'd you know I could?

Oogwar: On the first day we meet. I saw the future of Kung fu and the past. I saw the panda who could unite them both. That is why I choose you, Po. Both sides of a Yin and Yang. And my true successor.

And like all of us, we thought that Po was simply the successor to Oogway. But as it turns out in kfp 4, it was intended that Po would be the next Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Maybe we, the viewers and Po, misunderstood back then. But as I checked all the information. No one before kfp 4 called Oogwał by this title.

And that's why in kfp 4 Po was surprised that he had to go to the next stage. Only the question arises. Why right away. In the third part, Shifu didn't say anything to Po.

We don't know how much time has passed between kfp3 and kfp4, but we can guess that it must have been several weeks or months. I conclude this because Po's dad has reopened the shop and there are pandas living in the city. So they definitely had to build some house for the panda. So it certainly took some time.

So why did Shifu wait so long to tell Po that he would now be the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace? Why didn't he say it right away? Why did he wait so long to say that Po would be a spiritual sage from now on? Why Shifu did he tell Po to find another dragon warrior now?

Why should he find a successor so quickly? Because let's make an agreement. Choosing a successor is not an easy thing. Damn, Oogway must have spent years looking for his successor, so why did Po have to choose in one day?

And this is where theory comes in.

Po is a spirit warrior and that's why he can no longer be a dragon warrior.

In the third part of the movie, Po used the Wuxi Finger Hold on himself to take Kai with him to the spirit world. And we know that this technique kills instantly and does not work on people who are already dead. And in kfp 4 he tells us directly that this technique is deadly and dangerous. Because we see that Taing Luing is a spiritual warrior.

So the question is, if Po was also a spiritual warrior, why doesn't he shine the same as Taing Lung, Shen or Kai? Why doesn't Po shine like them? What makes him stand out from the rest?

This is where my Reply comes in. Po came out of the spirit world differently than they did. In the third part, we see Po using his staff to leave the Spirit World. So that might be the reason why he doesn't shine like the rest of the spirit warriors.

The second reason why his aura is not visible like the rest is because Po uses his Chi very often. In kfp 4 Po we see how he uses it during combat or how he opens the gate to the spirit world. There's a chance that Po used more off-screen than he did in the movie. So it's possible that this is why his aura is not as visible as the rest.

In the supplement, we see that Po has acquired several abilities, but he uses them unknowingly. So I'm guessing he has two visible abilities. The first with conversation with the afterlife and the ability to predict the future or something similar. The first one could be that Oogway spoke, but the second one is definitely some new ability of Po.

The question now is. When Shifu figured out that Po was a spirit warrior? Maybe he saw something strange with Po? Maybe shifu had guessed by Po's appearance or his behavior. Or perhaps he noticed how rarely he needed rest. I noticed that Po only falls asleep once throughout the entire movie. I suspect it was just a short nap. Considering that from the house hanging on the precipice to the masta was already visible, it would probably take 2-3 hours to get there. Even in kfp 3 he took longer to fall asleep, but that was before he entered the spirit world. Despite the fact that Zhen traveled just as much as Po. Zhen could have slept lying on his backpack while they were traveling.

And if it were true. That Po is a spirit warrior. He is definitely unaware of it.

All right. At the end. Now let's move on to why Po chose Zhen.

Let's discuss Taing Lung first because it is the easiest.

He is dead. 💀

Okay now let's move on to Tigress. Tigress could be the next dragon warrior. But there are a few reasons why not.

#1- I suspect that Tigress no longer wants to be a dragon warrior even if she had a chance to become one.

#2 - She's a good fighter, but I think she'd have trouble shrugging off some of the Kung Fu stereotypes like Po did. A way of teaching or selecting someone to succeed you.

#3 - Po and Tigress are almost the same age.

#4- In the third part it is seen that Chi Tigress is not as strong as Po.

Made this a couple days before I saw Kung Fu Panda 4. This cover song is AWESOME. The movie itself is… well …. It’s… a movie.

I just imagine Po leaving to fight the Chameleon and he realizes he’ll be with Tigress and he's going to miss her and SHUT UP I STILL BELIEVE IN THIS SHIP AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OKAY

(Ngl, for a second, part of me was like "TENACIOUS D SHIPS THESE TWO OMG!!" because the video Tenacious D posted covering this song on Instagram was captioned "STILL BELIEVE 🐼🐯”.)

Wedding Eslipse.

Ps: There was supposed to be Daddy Long Legs still talking in the background, but I have no idea what the priest says during the wedding. If anyone wants to tell me or help me, I will be grateful ^^

[nataszaluiz]

Damn. You're right. If only they showed it differently in the movie 4, it would make more sense.

A lot could've been done better, but I don't find the Chameleon's backstory as ridiculous as people make it sound considering how:

1- Shifu spent half of the first movie trying to get rid of Po, even when he was chosen by Oogway

2- This was literally his reaction in secrets of the scroll

I like it! Dang.

Kung fu Panda headcanon:

Don't take this post too seriously. It's just my "what if" fantasy (in this post, the fourth part is not taken into account).

I think that the spirit world is much bigger than we were shown in the third part. I believe that absolutely all souls get there, not just kung fu masters. Because Kai got into the spirit world before Ugway invented kung fu.

So, I think that the spirit world is divided into several levels.

The first level is "up": This is the location where Po meets Ugway at the end of the third film. Only those souls who have been able to find inner peace get there.

The second level is the "middle": This is the location where Po defeated Kai. Only thouse souls who could not find inner peace, but who were good people during their lifetime.

The third level is "purgatory": Tai Lung gets here at the end of the first film. Those who managed to make mistakes during their lifetime go there, but these mistakes are not so terrible as to send the soul to the lowest level.

Fourth level "Hell": The souls of sinners who committed terrible deeds during their lifetime come here. I think that's where Shen is now.

Souls can move from the upper to the lower levels whenever they want. For example, souls from the middle level can descend into purgatory and even lower. But the soul cannot just rise to a higher level. To do this, the soul needs to be "cleansed". So, for example, a soul from purgatory will be able to rise to the middle and then to the upper level. But it is also possible to rise to a higher level if you absorb enough chi. That's exactly what Kai did, when he collected enough chi from purgatory, it allowed him to get to the middle level. After that, he was able to collect chi masters from two levels at once. However, his fight with Tai Lung took too long, as the leopard turned out to be a serious opponent, which is why Kai was able to get to Ugway only at the beginning of the third film.

By the way, Kai did not fight with Shen because he was afraid to go down to the lowest level straight to hell. This explains why Kai doesn't have a peacock pendant, but he does have a leopard pendant.

Once again, this is just a theory and concept of how I see the spiritual world in the KFP universe. Don't take it too seriously.

(Has anyone been able to make out Shen's silhouette on the lower level?)

[nataszaluiz]

I remember people saying that Kai was the worst-written villain. I even found some reviews about Kung Fu Panda 3. So yeah. Kai can rest now. 😂😅

I just watched Kung Fu Panda 4. And I must say that I like this movie.

The animation is very good. I like the storyline. I like the song and the sounds. I don't know if it's because I'm not that much of a Taing luing fab, but it didn't bother me that he didn't have that much screen time. I like the new protagonist. Scenes of Po's two fathers. The race and the fight. Of course, every movie has its flaws: The villain's motivations didn't make sense to me. I felt sad that the Furious Five were barely in this movie. That Shen and Kai didn't have any dialogue. For curiosity: I heard that Po was supposed to go to this city to save Shifu in the beginning and he was supposed to have Shifu's last meeting with Tain lung. But they changed it and we have what we have. Okay, maybe they'll use it in the fifth movie? Who knows? But it doesn't bother me that it's different. After going there after….Wait... why am I describing this? After all, if someone watched it, they know why they went there.

Oh and one more thing.

You can see that they stumbled here. So if you wanted my opinion. The movie is good. Not like the rest. It's safe to say that this will take last place in the entire series. in the fourth one xd

7/10

I try do it.

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!
