>>97950090part of that was, honestly, the message of Kung Fu Panda. Po was letting go of what he thought a Dragon Warrior should be, and instead embraced being who he was.
Frankly, I do feel like Po should have offered Tai Lung one last chance AND THEN have Tai Lung try to make some cheap, lethal shot after feigning acceptance and get skaadooshed.
What I also took from the fight between tai lung and po, and the fight before with tai lung and shifu, was that the problem for the fighters except po was pride.
Shifu was shaken by the mistakes of his past with raising Tai Lung, Tai Lung was so wrapped up in his own self-image as the mightiest warrior and deserving of being the Dragon Warrior that he NEEDED to be basically spend an entire fight getting prank fu'd and his ego picked apart.
Which is naturally going to seem pretty fucking crappy.
But, part of being a master is letting go of that mentality.
