Thots on kung fu panda 4 so far? 👀
i am pretty disappointed, not gonna lie! from what the trailer shows, the movie really looks like a cash grab, bc i feel like it's not staying true to what made the previous movies (esp the first two) so effective. where are the furious five?? what's going on with tigress and po's relationship that transformed so much in kfp1 and kfp2 (and to some extent in kfp3)?? why doesn't that seem to be a core of this film the way it was so crucial to the others?? where are po's dads?? why does po and shifu's relationship feel gimmicky instead of meaningful?? i love po, but the continuity of the supporting cast with the gradual addition of more characters (all of whom had connection and meaning to po) helped maintain a flow through the first three films that this movie appears to be breaking hard from. like, there were hardly any familiar characters are in the trailer and in this case, i think that's a disservice rather than a mark of growth for this world. but hey! maybe the movie will surprise me!
