#Master shifu

My boy deserved a proper goodbye from his father

There are only two ways to raise a child:

1) be a good parent

2) be a Shifu

I wish they did more with Tai Lung and Tigeress' indirect sibling relationship in Kung Fu Panda.

Tai Lung's entitlement wasn't born out of pure ambition and arrogance. It was born from wanting to make his father proud by following the dream Shifu had for him.

Tigress was Shifu's second chance. He was emotionally distant and strict with her because he blamed Tai Lung's rampage on him being spoiled by too much love and support. The real problem was raising him for a specific, highly prestigious role that only one person can fill and not preparing him for anything else.

Then when Master Oogway said that Tai Lung wasn't worthy Shifu didn't try to convince his master of his son's talent and potential. He didn't reassure him that he wasn't a disappointment and redirect him towards other goals. He just... silently went with it without thinking about what was behind Tai Lung's anger.

Does Tigress resent Tai Lung for getting raised by a far more fatherly version of her dad and ending up as a villain anyways? Does she blame Shifu's awful parenting on the brother she never met? Does she worry about turning out like him?

At the very least she despises him for hurting her dad.

And what does Tai Lung think of Shifu's new kid? Does he resent her for being his replacement? Is he jealous that she became part of the Fearsome Five while he (in his mind) never amounted to anything? Does he ever wonder what it'd be like to have a sister (in more than name?) Would Shifu's heavy expectations be less crushing with a sibling to share them with?

I wish their parallels, along with the potential parallels between their sibling relationship and Tigeress' relationship with Poe, got a chance to be explored.

In light of the trailer Kung Fu Panda 4 being released, I thought I'd share my thoughts on one of favourite scenes in the whole franchise.

In the previous scene, Tai Lung tries to demean Po by calling him a "big fat panda," an insult that Po heard throughout his entire life. And how does Po respond: HE FRICKIN' OWNS IT!!!!!

That's what's so poignant about the message of the movie: it not about changing who yourself, it's about changing how you see yourself. Po's journey was about realizing that the qualities that OTHER PEOPLE saw as burdens, weaknesses, and faults (particularly his appetite and body shape) WERE IN FACT HIS GREATEST STRENGTHS, THINGS THAT ULTIMATELY HELPED HIM SUCCEED!!!!! As Po's father beautifully put it, "to make something special, you have to believe it's special!"

It's a beautiful message, and as someone who's an aroace autisitc, it's one that resonates with me that much more!

WE SHOULDN'T FIT THE MOLD!!!!!!

THE MOLD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIT US!!!!!!!!!!!!
