I hate it whenever people say Shen has no depth or that he's pure evil, the entire point of the Kung Fu Panda villains is that they are tragic figures who all believed they were in the right.
No, Tai lung, Kai were converted evils whereas Shen was readily evil he used to be against his parents, disobeying them, never gave respect when he was growing
@@ashapatil4449Shen, after committing genocide on pandas, returned to his parents and expected praise. He thought he was doing the right things in the name of self preservation and the preservation of (I assume) his parent’s legacy. He thought he was doing the right thing for his “us”. We as outsiders watching it see it from an alternative viewpoint which is why we recognise it as evil, but from Shen’s point of view, it made total sense.
@@eruiluvatar4526 you’re right, though I don’t believe it makes him evil. We can see it in narcissists and people who have experienced such traumatic events. It doesn’t justify their actions, but I don’t believe it makes them evil. Unless you would argue that people with such mental disorders are in fact evil. In which case, yes. Shen would be considered evil.
There's no bigger burden or curse than to believe that your parents hate you. Your parents are the first gods. The ones who showed you love. In whose embrace you find peace. No matter what burdens come your way - to be rejected by your parents is the worst thing your spirit can endure.
Shen wasn't evil for the sake of evil. He was misguided. A victim of his own ambitions. But all he really wanted was inner peace. But he was so stubborn to admit it.
The thing I love about kung fu panda is that they actually give a backstory to the villains and give the audience a reason to why they are doing what they’re doing, instead of “There just pure evil” and need to be stopped.
2:31 I said to Ares “The cup you choose to fill has no bottom, it is time to stop this madness.” Ares asked “Why on earth, would I do that?” I said “So Alyssa can have peace.” Ares said “Alyssa hated us, do you understand, she wronged us and I will make it right.” I said “She was our friend, she loved us so much but you drove her away.” Ares said “The dead exist in the past and I must attend to the future.” I said “Goodbye Ares, I wish you happiness.” Ares said “Happiness . . . must be taken, and I will take mine.” 🐲☯️👹
The prophecy of Shen being defeated by a “warrior of black and white” in addition to his obsession with fireworks and gunpowder and being banished by his parents for perpetrating the genocide of the pandas is what sent Shen over the edge. He allowed his feelings of anger, hatred, rejection, and resentment to fester in his mind for decades and as you can tell, he never got over it. He let his past dictate his present and future. Becoming like Shen is what happens when someone never ever lets go of the pain of their past and uses that pain to take out their anger and hatred on others, often resulting in destruction, pain, and suffering. Even if they know what they’re doing is wrong, they stay trapped in the past mentally and they never let go. Shen epitomized this to the very end when he made one final attempt to kill Po before being crushed and killed by his own cannon after it fell on him.

@@Matt-jb5rgDoesn't pardon him tho; even from his perspective. Doing the right thing the wrong way isn't doing the right thing.

still surprises me that this is Gary Oldman voicing him. insane talent from him
I wish there was more fancontent to fawn over, but it's understandable. There is not much you can add to Perfection.
