  • Just recently go into your channel and gosh do I love it! I enjoy the enthusiasm, the effort, the depth, and the full story told about our favorite movies growing up as kids and ones that will forever strum the heart strings of nostalgia.
  • Tai Lung, Shen and Kai represent body, mind and spirit, which are the 3 things you need to be a master of Kung Fu. And Po mastered and overcome each challenge they bring.
  • @theodoro3188
    Out of all the villains, Tai Lung was the one who I sympathized with most, thus he is my favorite character
  • @toganium4175
    There is something surprising realistic about a character like Shen, someone who commits atrocities because he thinks he’s above the consequences of them.
  • Shen truly is the peak of dreamworks villains. What a fantastic character and he's a peacock! How many movies/shows can say they have a peacock as a villain, not many i assume.
  • @adamplayz8612
    The way Shen accepts his death when the cannon is falling on him really adds more depth to his character, it was not fear but it was like he knew what was about to happen and showed he had no more hope left for himself.

    Tai Lung: Most Relatable Kai: Most Powerful Lord Shen: Most Evil
  • @_aballa_
    I remember a comment on Shen's death being that Shen was the warrior of black and white because when Po deflected that last cannon ball back at him, he was covered in soot and the ropes were cut because of him. So in the end, he defeated himself.
  • @joeyabrams9505
    I always loved the different art styles used for the villains backstories. Tai Lung had the normal art style, Shen had a stop motion sort of vibe, and Kai had a comic-like style. Just thought it was cool.
  • @RADARMYBRAT32
    Had anyone noticed each of the villains is connected to one of the heros Tai Lung is connected to shifu Lord shen is connected to po Kai is connected to Master Oogway
  • @Based_4_Life
    Lord Shen is the most perfectly written villain of all time. Evil to the core, but still vulnerable enough to be emotionally scarred by his parents' disapproval. No remorse, no regret, and no hesitation. He also has a well-defined mission and even gave excellent displays of passion and commitment. Not to mention an excellent fighter, leader, strategist, intellectual, and always camera ready. Lord Shen is the best!
  • @masterpo3438
    You're one of the only channels that consistently covers KFP lore and you do it so well, thanks Isaac Carlson
  • @Goldenbane
    I love Tai Lung by far over the other two main villains. He's more sympathetic than the other two, and his motives go beyond mere greed or power. He's also awesome because he's completely self reliant. He's self made, self built. He didn't cower behind goofy weapons, nor did he rely on bullcrap magic. All Tai Lung had was himself...and that's all he needed!!
  • Tai lung was the most tragic and relatable. Shen was the most evil and had the most impact cause of his connection to Po. And Kai was just a solid villain with a connection to oogway but to me not the same as the other 2
  • @CryNoM0
    I personally love how Shen is just pure evil and commits many atrocities out of fear to protect his own destiny, I guess that’s why he’s my favourite
  • @893trent
    The Prison Breakout scene with Tai Lung will always be my favourite from these movies
  • I remember reading that Kung Fu panda will have 6 movies. I really believe that in one of the remaining movies, Tai lung is going to return and get a redemption arc. He deserves it, his nephew could help him change his ways. I think Tai lung coming back will help Shifu grow even more as a master so his return would be really iconic!
  • @war_axe
    Shen is one of the best villain in cartoons in my opinion, his backstory is honestly about how his parents failed to raise him by seemingly not giving him enough Love, thats something most people might experience, his defeat and realization also showed us an example of someone realizing they're bad but they still do the things they do because they simply fell too deep, they are in on it and they feel like they can't get out, they have no other choice, but there is always a choice
  • It's a big shame they left Kai's descend into darkness unexplained cause if his reasoning was to protect his brother but once this said brother betrayed him, he would realize no one loved him but himself, leading into his quest to acquire power and use it to protect himself was his actual backstory, he would be in par with both Tai Lung and Shen in the complexity department
  • @maxfieldjoyner5244
    Kai is underrated, but Shen and Tai Lung are just on a whole different level.
