I remember I used to draw these KFP humans a lot. They were my brainrot for like a whole year and posted a lot on Kung Fu Panda Skadooshposting group. Ah the good old days, man I miss drawing them.

ok ya’ll idea
au where shortly after po’s mom puts him in the radish basket, shen is able to find him before he’s delivered to mr. ping’s restaurant. Instead of killing him however, shen decides to take in (kidnap) po and raise him as his own.
He keeps po isolated and secluded from the world, telling him it’s a dangerous place with horrible people, in hopes that the ‘last’ panda in existence would be too obedient to his ‘father’ to defeat him.
meanwhile in the newly formed panda village, po’s dad and the rest of the pandas release lanterns into the sky on the same day that shen invaded their old village, as a way to honor the pandas who were killed during that day, including po (they think that he died). Po is able to see the lanterns from his window and watches them every year at night, wondering how something so beautiful can come from a world that his father said was selfish and cruel.
But then, during the same time where shen starts taking over gongmen city (the events in this timeline may be changed for this au), the furious five crash into the secluded home po lives in and is immediately knocked out by a frying pan.
yeah you guys can probably see the inspiration for this au

Kung Fu Panda 4 Initial Reactions
Just got back from the theater! Here are my thoughts. I'll try to be vague about the plot, but be warned: spoilers below.
---
So I went into the theater with rock-bottom spirits. I had seen the cringeworthy previews, read the disheartening reviews, connected the unsatisfactory dots and concluded that the movie I was about to see would be a nasty dumpster fire of a train wreck. And yet kfp played such a big role in my childhood that I couldn't just stay away. Filled with dread and morbid curiosity, I braced myself for the worst.
And it wasn't that bad.
Don't get me wrong; this movie made some decisions that I HUGELY disagree with. And compared to the other kfp movies, it's undeniably lousy. But it didn't ruin the franchise for me and I actually enjoyed myself in the theater.
Listing off my thoughts in no particular order:
Zhen. She is, to my surprise, a lot less irritating that I expected. The trailers don't do her justice and Awkwafina's voice was a whole lot less jarring than I expected. In terms of actual personality and even backstory, I liked her! However. Let's be honest, her design is shit. She looks like someone's Zootopia self-insert. She feels totally out of place in this movie -- particularly, during the end credits when she's side-by-side with the five (who all have the most beautiful stylized designs). Also, plotwise, WHAT is she doing in this film? Spoiler alert: she becomes the new dragon warrior. Spoiler alert again: yes, this is every bit as random and undeserved as you can imagine.
Furious Five: Were not in the movie. First of all, fuck you dreamworks, how dare you withold my children? My darlings? The loves of my life? Their absence is keenly felt and the plot is emptier without them, and I mean that with complete sincerity. I’m also going to point out the obvious; if there has to be a new Dragon Warrior, and I’m not saying that’s a good plot idea, but if there has to be, it should be Tigress. It makes the most sense thematically and the possibilities are just so good – developing her relationship with Po as he provides guidance, facing her feelings of inadequacy, exploring her connections with Shifu and the rest of the five — I could go on and on. The wasted potential is breathtaking. To be honest, it kinda feels like Zhen was written to replace her(using a hug to de-escalate a fight with Po, anyone?). Fanfic writers, I need a rewrite of this movie with Tigress, stat.
TAI LUNG! He was obviously played for nostalgia and there was no concrete point to his lines or presence. He was also written, if you ask me, pretty out of character. I’m still fuming over the fact that they brought him back and we don’t get to see Shifu’s reaction at all. Again, the wasted potential is breathtaking. When compared with Kai and Shen, who have NO speaking lines, it’s obvious that dreamworks just didn’t want to pay for extra actors. I thought that his acceptance of Po as the Dragon Warrior at the end was super cool, but there was NO lead up, NO meaningful character development to make this feel sincere, and again, it would have hit much harder if Tigress or Shifu were also there or if Po was NOT giving up the title. That being said, I never thought he would appear in a movie again, and I’m happy to have any crumbs I can get. They did a bad job, yes, but they BROUGHT HIM BACK. 
Po’s dads! Their side story was goofy and unnecessary but fun, and I enjoyed it. Also maybe it’s just me but the romantic tension between them is AMPED UP – does Li, like, live at the restaurant now? And they spend the movie acting like the most married couple ever. And when Li bursts into the tavern to rescue Mr. Ping, who looks at him with those starstruck eyes – well. I’m just saying. I think there’s something going on there.
I liked the Chameleon! Yeah, her whole gimmick is a little bit ripped off from Kai, but she’s sinister and greedy and badass, so she’s the real deal. I actually thought she was scarier than previous villains – there was less comic relief, maybe? I can only think of one instance where she’s presented in a comedic light, and even then, the tension just picked right up from where it left off. Which is strange, because the rest of the movie is a lot more lighthearted than previous films.
The pacing was weird. Too fast.
Shifu was cute in this movie. More Shifu please!
The reaction to Tai Lung’s return was WEIRD. It’s obvious Dreamworks didn’t want to dedicate time or effort to what was, essentially, a red herring. But. Plot-wise, it’s SO WEIRD that Po would try to face him with no backup. And the fact that we didn’t get to see Shifu’s reaction AT ALL, ugh. Realistically speaking I think Shifu would try to go face Tai Lung, no matter how “inner peace”-y he is now. Like come on, Tai Lung was his son, for crying out loud! 
The goats at the start? Also weird designs. Feel out of place.
Mantis got married! What the heck? (neutral about this, but it was definitely unexpected.)
In general, the plot was weird. It didn’t feel meaningful and it didn’t quite fit in with the rest of the kfp universe. Storytelling decisions were just plain bad. But as a standalone movie, it was not… terrible. Not irredeemable. I think, if Tigress had taken Zhen’s place, this could have actually worked. But she didn’t, and it didn’t.
So I’m going to headcanon it as fake and just stick to loving the first 3 movies. I don’t regret watching it, but there were huge problems that prevented me from enjoying it to its full potential.

HEADCANON ☆148
Shifu has a memorial box under his bed, the Five and Po happened to find it "accidentally." There were many pictures of the Five and Po, also some of baby Tai Lung. Tigress found her old toy bunny, which she was sure she threw away after being a master. Also an old drawing of herself and Shifu with stick figures, "Sifu" written on the sky. It was adorable, and drawn with "astonishing" talent, as Po said sarcastically.

storyboards by Nassos Vakalis for an earlier version of Kung Fu Panda where The Five fight Tai Lung. previous iterations of the movie had an army of wolves (later used for Shen in KFP 2) and The Wu Sisters allied with Tai Lung. never seen these before so i thought i'd post them!

Thinking about character designs where anthropomorphic characters have their 'eyebrows' integrated into their features, either subtly altering lines around the eyes when they express themselves or they just blend with the rest of the character's texture and feel so well that you don't notice......then there's the ones with shaped and dyed eyebrows that look like they were pasted on from a human and the difference between the chameleon and the fox in the Kung Fu Panda 4 trailer is irking me so much in this essay I will-
