      I really wished that was true...
      BTW does this idea make her more threatening?
      If she steals someone's kung fu. it'll weaken the person but in an unexpected twist, the person who's kung fu is taken away from her will die in 5 minutes. But it's not like he/she'll be sent to the spirit realm after death. The person will literally disintegrate into nothingness. No after life...

    Idc what anyone else says, every villain in the KFP film series has been badass. Tai Lung's ferocity, Lord Shen's insidiousness, General Kai's ambition, and Empress Chameleon's domination. Sure it wasn't a perfect movie but the Chameleon was one of the things that had my attention.

The schools she visited didn't want her, so they came up with the first excuse that came to mind, which was her size and social status. It was a bad excuse, but they didn't need a good one, as long as it did the job at sending her out.

      She can haunted Po by turning into his dead mom or turn into master shifu to confuse Po. So many heinous and unapologetically evil act that she can do with such power. She can possibly shock the audience the same way lord shen​ ​did with genocide scene.

    1:29 Me: Yes, yes it does.
    Also, there’s a theory on TV-Tropes that explains the Chameleon’s character a little:
    The Chameleon wasn't telling the whole truth about her backstory about how she got rejected by kung fu masters for allegedly being too small or weak for kung fu.
    When you think about it, her Freudian Excuse seems sympathetic at first glance but with a deeper analysis, it completely falls apart. For one, there were kung fu masters out there like Oogway or Shifu who would take on smaller animals like Mantis as kung fu students. Second, the Chameleon practically ruled a city as an extremely wealthy crime boss/sorceress and lived as royalty for a long time, given how we see her take in Zhen as a child after Zhen tried to rob her jewels so she clearly wasn't economically disadvantaged and had the funds to hire/bribe kung fu masters to teach her in all that time but chose not to for some reason. What may have been more likely is that in the past, maybe just one kung fu instructor turned her down on account of her size and species while the other kung fu masters turned her down because they saw the darkness in the Chameleon's heart like Oogway saw Tai Lung's darkness and knew a walking red flag when they saw it but the Chameleon's self-serving memory remembered the slight of being turned down for her appearance more and used that as a sob story to give legitimacy to her actions.

  • @JWeb66
    @JWeb66 29 днів тому +19

    I would give her this backstory: came from a wealthy and prosperous family and wanted her to learn Kung Fu as part of family tradition. She was never good at it, so she turned to sorcery, which she used to bring the local crime lords to heal, but because it wasn't traditional, she was looked down on by her father. When she came to rule Juniper City, unsatisfied with her accomplishments due to unreseolved parabtel issues she decided to steal the Masters Kung Fu to fufill her parents wishes of becoming a master.

    Great edit! When I watched the movie, it was good, but not great! It could’ve been so much more.
    Chameleon was fine but the reason for her turning evil made zero sense and Kai and Lord Shen were hugely underutilized and I hate the way they changed their models.
    Tai Lung was fantastic as always but he wasn’t given enough.
    Lastly, to me the audio sounded weirdly recorded and I had to check the credits to make sure Po’s panda dad was voiced by Bryan Cranston and Mr. Peng was still voiced by his usual voice actor.

    -She lives in a palace and a tyrannical ruler like Lord Shen, she also takes from her people in the Juniper City like Shen did in Gongmen City.
    -She steals powers from others just like Kai and she has a special technique to do it just like Kai did in KFP 3.

      @@opticchatlil bro no, the reason is the story sucks, Chameleons motive to become evil aint making any sense, she also apparently stupid on action and weak as hell. Theres no climax.
      No depth to the stories, the story feels so rushed. Why zhen must be the dragon warrior? She didnt have Oogway knowledge or Po’s dedication.
      The betrayal she made also didnt give any impact and also dont make so much sense.
      Kai and shen apparently are dumb? Why do they bowed to Po? They literally got skadoosh by him to death

      I definitely enjoyed the movie, the fights where cool the comedy was great and the storytelling well there’s room for improvement the movie could have been so much better and I wish it was, but I still enjoyed it 5 or 6.5/10

    The story sucks, it lacks motive, emotion and definitely depth. The chameleon also kinda stupid.
    You made the chameleon looks powerfull like it’s suppose to be tho, except the movie fails
