WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALFRED MOLINA VOICED FOR KUNG FU PANDA LEGENDS OF AWESOMENESS!?

[artoatsblog]

Kung Fu Panda: legends of awesomeness.

Episode 1 conflict: Po and monkey must find an ancient flower or tigeress will die.

Episode 2 conflict: Po must fight off an evil chief so a little girl isn't solid into slavery

Episode 3 conflict: Po makes everything sticky, and also Simon helberg is here.

From the first episode. This is why I like the TV series better than the movies. You can watch all 3 movies and maybe get a good 30 minutes of Tigress moments combined, and you’d still never get anything like this.

I recently rewatched Legends of Awesomeness episodes with Fenghuang in them, and I'm shocked that she's BIGGER than I last remembered her!

During the time I haven't watched any parts of the show again, I always imagined her to be smaller than she is in canon bc she's an owl. Idk if owls could actually get that big irl or if it's a matter of creative license.

Either way, I hope she forgives me for not drawing her in her accurate size in the past😭🙏

Definitely not me taking out-of-context Amir Talai clips and putting them through an audio filter to try and make them sound like Alastor.

Okay, so this all started when Amir Talai posted this on Twitter X. And it's kinda led me down a rabbit role of other roles he's played, mainly Crane from Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and Skidmark from Turbo F.A.S.T. So, I thought it would be hilarious to take out-of-context audio clips and put them through an audio filter to make them sound more like Alastor from Hazbin Hotel.

This is just a fun little thing. I mean no harm from it. I hope that's okay. I may do more, depending on if I find some good lines.

Mods are asleep, post the Alfred Molina dragon! So yeah, Ke-Pa! Honestly feel like when compared to some other villains in the KFP franchise that he's often forgotten, which is a shame considering he's pretty cool! And I mean, come on! It's Alfred Molina, of course it's gonna be cool!

Reblogs are welcome but please don't repost my art, thank you.

The Problem With Bad Adaptations/Spin-Offs

In today's entertainment landscape, there's definitely a surplus of adaptations and spin-offs of pre-existing IPs. While some are very well crafted and more than worthy additions to the franchise, others are, to put it simply, not. This post will dissect why bad adaptations and spin-offs do more harm to the IP than good and what aspiring creators can do to avoid these missteps.

If you're assuming that this post is going to point to the executives who only care about money as opposed to quality, you're sorely mistaken. Executives need to be finance and business savy so that they can keep the company running. The real root cause of an adaptation/spin-off's shortcommings falls on the shoulders of the creators. They're the ones who went ahead with the creative decisions, they're the ones that put the whole thing together, they're the one's whose name is slapped under the director or creator's credit. The executives may care more about how the project rakes in profits, but it's the creator's responsibility to make sure it's entertaining to the audience.

You know how many fans of books disregard the movie with the saying "the book was better" regardless if the movie was good or bad? Well, this saying is most predominantly used for bad adaptations because when they fail, the original book is used as evidence to support fans criticism. While changing things from the source material is a given with adaptations, the adaptation should make for an entertaining retelling of the original story with well rounded and fully developed characters, creative would building and really good acting. Films like Percy Jackson and The Olyimpians, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (what is up with that title being so long?!), and The Devil All The Time fail at all these essentials, and as such make for sloppy movies that don't do the books they're based on justice.

Like adaptations, spin-offs should be worthy additions to the original IP. Yet often, a spin-off is mediocre at best and absolutely terrible at worst. By haing a spin-off turn out bad, the creators inadvertently justify the doubts of naysayers who felt the spin-off was unnecessary. Planet Sheen, for example, could've been a really funny show that expanded the Jimmy Neutron universe and provide some more creative ideas. Yet because it turned out to be so unfunny and unfocused, fans of Jimmy Neutron were made correct into thinking it was unnecessary. This badly made spin-off is now a permanent stain on the legacy of the original IP and creators have no one to blame but themselves.

DreamWorks Animation has got to have the worst track record when it comes to their spin-offs and adaptations. With some notable exceptions such as She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Dinotrux and the Dragons series, most of their shows are some of the worst cartoons ever made and do a great disservice to the original IP. Among them, Legends of Awesomeness is the worst offender and the pinnacle example of how NOT to make a spin-off. The animation is terrible, the writing is atrocious, the voice acting is very bad, and the characters are one note and annoying. The worst part about the show is Po and how he's completely out of character. Where in the movies he's a really nice guy with genuine love and respect for kung fu, the show makes him a lazy, unfunny and annoying cheat who lies and decieves his way to get what he wants. Unfortunately, DreamWorks Animation has not learned the right lessons as their recent spin-off, The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday, was absolutely terrible and their new Megamind series looks, unsurprisingly, abominable.

To anyone who's tasked with making a spin-off or adaptation, here's the mistakes you need to avoid in order to make a worthy addition to the IP. Firstly, don't assume your audience is already family with the source material, because more often than not, they aren't. Second, familiarize yourself with the IP and understand why it worked in the first place and how to apply those qualities to your work while still putting your personal stamp on it. Third, don't make changes to the story or characters because you were told to by the executives or because you think it would be funny or more digestible for the audience. Before you make any changes, consult your head writer and actors and ask them what they think. Lastly, consult the producer on how to work around budgetary limitations. If you're given a set budget, don't use that as an excuse to make your work visually dull. This is especially true with animation, where you can tell they had a small budget based on how flat and weightless the visuals are. My advice when making a spin-off based on a 3D animated movie is to hire art and animation directors with impressive resumes and who can deliver quality animation even under limited budgets.

Making an adaptation/spin-off is hard, much like making any movie or TV show with an original story. That said, I think the creators of adaptations and spin-offs of established IPs have a responsibility to not only do the source material justice, but also make an entertaining product that reintroduces the IP to new audiences. When the adaptation and spin-off is mediocre or terrible, it angers fans and alienates newcomers. We could've had a whole new generation of fans of The Green Hornet by now. But because the 2011 movie staring Seth Rogan was so mediocre and underperformed financially, the IP was sent right back into obscurity with a reboot stuck in development limbo. To conclude, an adaptation/spin-off should be more than just an addition to the franchise; it should be a very good appetizer to an already great main course.

It may seem strange, but I think Fenghuang and Kai are a great match, in general, but specifically as a couple.

Headcanon: I love thinking about Fenghuang trying to lift Kai's double blades and failing, and Kai already irritated by her insistence.

"Is it over yet? can you give it back to me?"

"Stay quiet!!"

X'D Oh my goodness. Yeah, I could see it. Wings for arms might not be the best for holding and swinging chain blades. Hasjgdjk

ENG Fandom lost mind because a future character's name is similar to the name of one peacock, but nobody pay attention to the fact that character is a FOX. Does anyone remember who also was a fox?

RUS Почему многие обратили внимание на созвучность имени будущего персонажа с именем одного павлина, но совершенно не обратили внимания на то, что это лиса. А вы умеете помнить? Вам напомнить, кто еще в лоре был лисой?
