    After all that she goes through, Tigress could've EASILY become another Tai Lung.
    But she chooses not to. This resilience is why I have so much respect for her.

      She also wasn’t traumatized the same way Tai lung was, she knew where she stood at the get go where as Tai Lung was held on a pedestal and told he would be the dragon warrior only to have that taken away. Tigress was never told that she would be the dragon warrior only that she was in training to be considered

    Tigress is such a beautifully tragic character. Like, yeah if you take into account the way she was treated before and how she treated Po in the first movie, she would seem a hypocrite at first glance. But, if you look closer, you would see that she had been training all her life to be good enough, and when the time where she would finally be recognized for her talents and all of her hard work, she was passed by for Po, who was definitely not on the same level. Because of that, she was hurt, and lashed out on the scapegoat, Po.

    Something curious that a lot of people don´t know is that the story gives you a lot of clues of Master Tigress origins before she was abandoned by her parents at the orphanage. All the evidence seem to suggest that she was indeed, a princess, from a far away and distant kingdom ruled by tigers. This has a lot of sense when you notice that in the only scene where we can actually see her parents, they were wearing the imperial colors (Yellow and black) that in China were reserved exclusively for the Emperor, and their clothes also look very similar to the robes emperors used to wear. Also, when Po was writing where the Five Warriors should be found, he wrote that in a cleaner (Crane), a comedian (Monkey), a dancer (Viper), a doctor (Mantis) and a princess (Who else could it be but tigress?). Apparently they were planning to reveal this in the third movie, but they simply didn´t found time and just gave us another small clue by dressing tigress as her parents.

Tigress then went looking for four people who fit those job descriptions instead of the actual kung fu masters... and those were the four people that helped her defeat the boar. So if it hadn't been for Po's job identity crisis, Tigress would have just brought back four kung fu masters instead of Crane, Mantis, Snake and Monkey.

But she not only finds a loving family within Shifu and the Furious 5, she grows up to learn balance within herself and worked to become the self-motivated, amazing, and dedicated, strong warrior she is!! Such a fearless character 🙌

    There's always something alluring about Tigress. Admirable, tough, intelligent, and stoic for a reason.
    Idk why, but I find it interesting that Tigress was not chosen to be the Dragon Warrior. The Tiger and the Dragon were designed to be opposites. Of course, it would be cool to bridge that gap by making a tiger become a dragon warrior.

    When you learn her backstory, so much from the first move makes much more sense.. the anger from Po taking her spot as the dragon warrior, the begging for Shifu to let her and the rest of the five to defeat Tai Lung, the desperation to sneak out and go by herself to fight him all because she wanted the chance to finally be approved of.
    Po and Tigress' relationship is very complex and has transcended further than most people will ever try to understand, but it's very, very cool once you know; How Tigress was finally given peace through the friendship she gained with Po, a character that likely destroyed her emotionally after the choosing of the Dragon Warrior. Everything comes full-circle once she receives the approval and the love displayed by Po, creating the incredible bond they have now.

    Tigress is a strong fearless master of the furious five, she has a heartbreaking backstory and claims to have no true family, she always acts fearlessly, because she was scared the other would see her as a mental break down.
    She didn't want Po, to go through the same thing she did, so she acts nicer in the 2nd movie after knowing what happened to Po. She is more understanding and helpful to po because she doesn't want Po feeling worthless like she did.
    Tigress is my fav character, she may act fearless, but inside she's really understanding when her friends are going through something hard.

It’d make sense since Po has already completed his journey of character development while Tigress, who did lighten up a lot more as a friend, hasn’t really been shown much development aside from that. The stories from her life are different from the other members of the Five. While everyone else is generally still the same as when they formed up, Tigress is still developing because of her past.

      Yeah, I feel like Tai Lung went crazy and imprisoned RIGHT before Tigress came in. If he had not destroyed the villiage, they could have possibly been siblings...
      OR more interestingly, maybe she would have been HIS pupil/ daughter. Like, instead of going mad and destroying everything, he goes to Oogway, and asks/ demands to know how he can prove there is not darkness inside him. How he can become worthy to become the dragon warrior. And Oogway, interested in this new development, suggests he look outside himself, to help himself.
      Which is when the call for the baby tiger gets called in, and Shifu asks him to check it out. Tai Lung meets her and has first hand experience with the strength and teaches her... maybe differently. Maybe the same. But he teaches Tigress of her power...than takes her in as his student.
      ... and now I wanna write this fanfiction. Crap.

      Actually, there is canonical evidence to suggest that not ONLY were they alive at the same time, but that Tigress was adopted immediately after Tai Lung went to prison.
      Tai Lung was in prison for 20 years. We know this because he himself, screamed it at Shifu in their final confrontation.
      And in Kung Fu Panda 2, Tigress and Po are talking/training on a boat, in which she says she punched the iron wood trees, and thus removed all feeling in her palms. This training, according to her, took 20 years.
      There's even further evidence that shows she was adopted right after Tai Lung went to jail, when there is a flashback to her as a cub in The first Kung Fu Panda movie. After Shifu corrects her form, he is seen limping as he walks away from her. Because his injury from Tai Lung is still fresh.
      This means that had Tai Lung not attacked the villiage, he would have met Tigress when she went to live in the Jade temple. And possibly would have been one of her teacher, if not be placed as her primary master/care giver, as a sort of test to see if he had the compassion to become the dragon warrior.

    As great as Tigress was, her display of talent didn't quite reach the level of Tai Lung. Case and point: the same scene where they both struck that dummy - Tai Lung was able to knock over one of the weapons as the dummy ricocheted off of the wall, but Tigress was only able to make it spin a little. It gives more reason for why Shifu never saw Tigress as equal to Tai Lung.

  • @aidankeogh9994

    Still heartbreaking that despite having been formally adopted by Shifu, Tigress never quite felt loved as family ought to. It's clear that Shifu took on Tigress partly to nurse his pain over Tai Lung. While Shifu doubtless had the best intentions, all having Tigress around did was remind Shifu of the mistakes he made without ever being able to actually address the problem.
    "Shifu loved Tai Lung like he had never loved anyone before... or since."
    Tigress likely knew her whole life that she would always be second in Shifu's heart to Tai Lung, no matter what she did right or how much she tried. And with Shifu being so emotionally distant- likely afraid to open himself up to heartbreak again- it's a testament to Tigress' character that despite becoming such a stoic to cope, she never lost herself like Tai Lung did.

    • @littlemoth4956

      The issue is Shifu raised Tai Lung also with high expectations to become dragon warrior. While he did love him, he filled him with unreasonable expectations and due to that, Tai Lung became consumed by it. In a way, they both suffered. Tai Lung believed, due to Shifu, that he was more than enough and that Shifu should have stuck up for him.
      Tigress, who received seldom any compassion, believed she was not enough and that she would never reach Shifu’s expectations. Shifu kinda failed them both

    I love the Kung Fu Panda trilogy, and Tigress has been my favourite since I was little, but I regret a little that she wasn’t given more closure, even in a quiet moment of any of the three movies.
    I understand that she isn’t the central character, and I was able to enjoy her story anyway as I enjoyed all of the secondary protagonists stories and appearances, but from the beginning her parallels to Tai Lung and those ties to Shifu and his regret were so intentional and compelling, I feel like the story may have benefited from even an unspoken moment or a shared glance between Tigress and Shifu.
    Both of their characters have been shown to be deeply wounded, even as they grow throughout the trilogy and find peace in themselves.
    Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I would have enjoyed it so much if there was just a moment that wrapped up these two character’s connected stories.

    Not gonna lie Tigress is still one of my favorite characters but hearing her story makes her fundamentally unlike able to me in Kung fu panda 1. Tigress grew up ostracized, to a certain degree all of the five did, for being different from everyone one else treated forcibly for the crime of being different from others regardless of her intentions or attitude. Then she goes right on to do the same thing to Poe misconstruing his attitude and intentions, assuming the worst of him at all times, and calling him a disgrace because he doesn't fit her notions of a person.
    I know that this is because the origin stories for the furious 5 were invented AFTER Kung Fu panda 1 became such a hit but it retroactively makes the furious 5 a bunch of entitled self righteous hypocrites, which isn't a bad thing it's part of the story, you are what make you special not people's opinions of you, and good character doesn't mean good person, but hypocrisy is something that has always gotten to me and Tigress is the biggest offender, because her story fits so closely to Po's. I honestly love them in the sequels but how the five, and to lesser extent Shifu, act in Kung fu Panda 1 makes it my least favorite of the trilogy.

    •  4 роки тому +22

      To be fair. All five of them worked hard to get where they were. Po on the other hand just showed up bombastically and was chosen by Oogway on what she considered at the time an accident like Shifu.
      I can see why she would feel resentment. Almost everyone irl has this sense of superiority when they meet a newcomer in an organization, especially when they have no experience. Even if they themselves were just like that years ago.

      Tigress was crushed, heartbroken, and frustrated when she not only wasn't chosen to be the dragon warrior, but the one who *was* literally showed up in her family's life out of absolutely no where with seemingly no aptitude for kung fu whatsoever (effectively being given a high status he didn't yet earn, which to them, spit on all the hard work they had dedicated themselves to in the past). Out of the F5, she in particular had tied a lot of her self worth to the art of Kung Fu and the possibility of being truly acknowledged and appreciated by Shifu, and to have it all swept from under feat so suddenly would've naturally gotten under her skin. It's clear Tigress was just displacing her anger about the situation as a whole onto Po (and I'm sure she realized she was wrong for that in the end, as did Shifu), but it's apparent how she grew to respect and empathize with him greatly not long after it was all over (as she says in Kung Fu Panda 2, "the hard-core do understand"). Almost every character in Kung Fu Panda has dark chapters in their life, but part of the theme of the films is not to let your past mistakes define you.

By proxy, her strength and instinctive style were inherited by her dad, and those traits are what lead her to have such a lonely childhood. Again, this is just a head-canon and probably shouldn't count as a theory, but I thought it was interesting enough to share.
