My thoughts:
- A bit too fast-paced.
- Po's fathers were just there for comedic relief.
- Shifu's reasoning to make Po the next Oogway didn't quite make sense (since Po is still too young and capable of being the dragon warrior).
- Tai Lung and others that were bad people once didn't even rebel with Po after, they just accepted their fate to live in spiritual realm.
- The villain's motive is just a cliché villain who wants to rule the world.
- No furious five, cus they don't want to hire VAs for just small bit I bet.
- They kinda butchered the previous villains' character, especially Shen.
- Kai and Shen were just cameo without any voicelines/dialogue.
It's trying to be No Way Home so bad it fails cus there's not enough build up. There are so many inconsistency and retcons that I ended up prefer this 4th entry never exist.
Watching 4th make me realize how good the 3rd was. My brain hurts trying to connect so many inconsistency and retcons. Like for example, how the heck did she pull out Lord Kai, the guy who died twice, farther than anyone, cus his spirit itself gone because of taking too much chi. Other thing is that, the previous villains out of nowhere bow to Po now? And just gladly return to spirit realm?
Tbf, there's also something off in the 3rd, like how Po can go back in the mortal world while still being mortal, but not the case with Kai or Tai Lung when they got the wuxi finger hold move by Oogway and Po. But that was minor, compared to this 4th entry.
Also, if she literally stole so many kung fu moves, she should be overpowered, with limitless moves to dodge every single Po's attack, but nope. She could easily be defeated by a thief who learned how to use the wisdom staff-_-. Other thing is that, how is her power works? Tai Lung have kung fu, Shen have his cannons, Kai have his reverse chi, but the chameleon (god her name is so long and so generic) have magic power? Based on what? How did she learn that? How magic system works in this kung fu universe? No explanation whatsoever.
Truly full of disappointment. While megamind 2 can be considered as non canon cus it's not a theatrical release. I feel bad for 4th cus they can't undo it. The damage is done. Now the 5th and 6th gonna have Zhen awkafina in it.
Also, the "skadoosh" line sounds powerful when Po is using wuxi finger move or when he's about to obliterate his foe. By making him say that over and over in 4th just making it cringe imo.
