Kung Fu Panda/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* "There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness." Oddly, this could be considered a CMOA ''about'' CMOAs...

'''Po:''' Agreed. }}

* [[Badass|Tai Lung]], the villain of the first film, manages to pull one of these off ''in his very first scene'': after a very long lead-in describing and displaying the many precautions, restraints, and defenses erected to keep him prisoner (in a facility built entirely for him, no less!) and the captain of the guards [[Tempting Fate]] by claiming [[The Alcatraz|no one could possibly escape]], the snow leopard proceeds to do precisely that-- {{spoiler|''with the aid of a single feather'' (from a character [[You Can't Fight Fate|there to make sure]] Tai Lung was ''contained'', no less!)}}. Highlights include {{spoiler|sweeping said feather into reach with his tail, breaking his manacles free with the aid of the crossbow bolts being fired at him, hurtling said bolts back at their source to kill the guards and give him a means to climb the walls (note also that he didn't throw them back, he ''kicked'' them back!), hiding on the underside of the wooden elevator [[Rain of Arrows|to avoid flaming arrows]], literally [[Stepping Stones in the Sky|leaping from one piece of collapsing stonework to another as it's falling into the abyss]], and climbing a falling stalactite he'd clung to by his claws alone. Oh, and using the captain's own ammo to blow the doors off.}} Epic. WIN.

*** I agree. It's a handy little [[Shout-Out]] to [[Kung Fu Hustle]]... which also gains a [[Shout-Out]] in the form of Po stomping Tai Lung's foot in the ensuing battle.

** The high point of that fight for me is when Po finishes Tai Lung with {{spoiler|The Wuxi finger-hold}}:

'''Po:''' Nope. I figured it out. Skadoosh! }}

* Master Oogway gets his CMOA in flashback, where he {{spoiler|Takes down a rampaging Tai Lung with a [[Bullet Time]] nerve strike ''pattern''. That turtle was apparently blindingly fast to pull that kind of precision ''multiple'' nerve strike.}}
