I know he had a stroke but he voiced Palpatine in seasons 5 and 6.
I didn't mind the film for what it was but I won't lie when I say this version would have been so much superior.
It was fine. There’s certainly way worse movies out there, and I guess the fight scenes were pretty fun.
Notably because of her size they wouldn't let her do kung fu.
They probably did. I don’t think a lot of thought was put into the writing of this movie.
Kinda funny how Mantis’s mere existence invalidates her entire motivation
Happy bird day
Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger did return as screenwriters and co-producers with the addition of Darren Lemke, the directors (Mike Mitchell and Stephanie Ma Stine) and producer (Rebecca Huntley) are different from the first three films
Oh, I should have said directors.
Yeah, definitely could’ve been worse. But yknow, could’ve been way better.
Half of this sounds legit and the other half sounds like you're getting old.
To think we could've gotten a better version if it wasn't for the whole behind the scenes going on. Orginally was going to be the tone of the first two films.It kinda stings
Well I also felt my knees cramping and my back giving out but I’m sure that’s unrelated.
Tbh, the real meat and bones of your criticism is the shifting of target audiences and how they're now targeting a gen that has an attention span of a goldfish, so they just dumb it down completely with no breaks and nonstop pacing. And you know what?
But Po had to choose a successor! Zhen had to be real.I didn't mind the film for what it was but I won't lie when I say this version would have been so much superior.

I've seen the mess that was the BTS stuff and all that, as well as some great ideas other people had for the movie.
–The Furious Five and Shifu were taken out by Chameleon and had their powers stolen, and she does the same to Tai Lung and other masters. But Tai Lung manages to escape and has to team up with Po in order to stop her. He's not exactly a paragon, but he's mellowed out over the years and eventually fully redeems himself.
–Zhen being a persona invented by Chameleon and it being a way to put Po on a fake hero's journey in order to take his powers and replace him as the Dragon Warrior.
–Po's birth dad being forced to face his fears and overcome his trauma when facing Chameleon currently using the form of Lord Shen.
Tl;DR: Mike Mitchell shouldn't have been the co-director, Joel Crawford should have replaced him but goddamn I wish Stephanie Stine stayed as director.
Idk. None of that bothered me. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t that attached to the original film trilogy to begin with. Like I’m not gonna step up to bat and defend this movie because I really enjoyed it or something. But like… I wasn’t predicting the dialogue. I also wasn’t trying to. I was just… watching the movie. I actually got kind of a kick out of how Po acted. Like this is how you write a Superman type character. And I didn’t really care about the Chameleon’s backstory. Not every villain needs a backstory. Heck, the movie might have even been better if she had just been a ***** who wanted to be powerful just because. And the fight scenes with her were really fun! Especially when she Kevin 11’ed it at the end! And as for the other villains… ok I cheated. I knew Tai Lung’s vo was the only one actually in it so I knew he was the only one really in the movie and honestly the way they used him made sense to me. Ultimately the villains are all dead and would probably just want to return to rest. That’s kind of how most spirits act in traditional philosophy and mythology. They might still echo their past lives and actions but like… they know they’re done and it’s futile to hold on to a world that’s not there’s anymore. So they wouldn’t really have much to do other than be summoned, defend themselves, and then try to go home.
My problem with this show is that I feel next to 0 attaxhment to the characters and that the only thing keeping me invested are the action and the mysteries which are likely gonna take a while to pay off. Season 1 started the mystery aspect and it feels like season 2 hasn't answered anything that was set up in the previous seasonThere is way more to it then that but what can I do
On one hand I don’t like to blame this on the TikTok generation because like… we were being told we had shorter attention spans as kids too (or at least I was) and I could still hold my attention for an entire movie or episode of a tv show without it having to jangle the keys. And like… it’s also possible to make something for a younger audience and have it not be bad. “It’s bad because it’s for kids” is a nonsense argument.
I mean it could've also ended with him picking one from the Valley of Peace at the end, perhaps another panda. And Zhen having been a persona of the Chameleon being a good lesson from Shifu not who to trust as he warned Po.
Hey its a masterpiece compared to Megamind vs. the Syndicate.
No, but if you're not seeing the appeal to a childhood franchise anymore despite it not being bad, chances are you just grew out of it. No shame in admitting that
One must imagine the potato happy.
Sure, there’s a time and a place for more simple, fun movies. I actually like a lot of movies like that. I’m by no means trying to say that every film needs to be this epic, dramatic story.
I mean it's the fourth movie and they're doing it like how many years later? They can only do so much. And like... I still think there was enough there with Po needing to find his successor and figure out how to be a spiritual leader instead of just fighting.
I mean... I disagree. I always welcome a new installment of a franchise. Any franchise could be the thing that matters the most to some kid out there. As much as things like Star Wars or Marvel matter to other people. Franchises that are always going to constantly be getting new material to give to their fans. And just because they don't like those things, those kids shouldn't have to be punished and just not get new additions or installments of their favorite thing. Because of what, "Artistic merit"? Nah fam. Nobody should have to feel left out or feel like they need to conform with the pack in order to have new content to enjoy and to have the special and magical moments that can bring to a person.
Well, Y’know, I prefer a film series to end on a good note as opposed to it just ****ting out movies of increasingly poorer quality forever but hey agree to disagree.
You don't know what you're taking away from others. Why can some things go on forever and others can't?
I ain’t takin away ****. That series you love will always be there, even if it’s not getting a new show or movie or whatever. Enjoy it for what it is and what it means to you.
Because when things keep going on in perpetuity they get stupid. The MCU is getting stupid, Star Wars is getting stupid, and I don’t know about you but I’d like my favorite series’ to avoid being stupid.
