V interesting to hear this put in words, would be interesting to hear how the juxtaposition with the fat panda's hero's journey affects a viewers perspective of him
Thanks, I definitely would be interested in doing more videos on the series, I think it's a bit underrated in terms of media discussion. If people like this video I'd probably look to do more on the topic.
Tai king isn’t just a great villain; he’s pretty much my favorite character in the whole franchise
Same! He's such a great character I love him. I wish he'd been able to come back and maybe even find some kind of redemption.
Love Tai Lung. Even though I prefer the second movie overall to the first and think that Lord Shen is also a fantastic and somewhat complex villain, I definitely related more to Tai Lung. I find it interesting that both Shen and Tai Lung had complicated relationships with their parents. We don't get to see much of Shen's parents, but the fact that he was surprised and betrayed that they reacted with horror to his panda slaughter makes me think they failed to give him any lessons in morality and simply spoiled him (He was essentially nobility after all).
I'm really annoyed at myself because I've forgotten the second movie somehow even though I remember the first and third. Tai Lung has always really stuck with me though, the franchise is surprisingly deep with great actors which you wouldn't expect at first glance.
