*** There wouldn't have been; [[Kung Fu Panda 2]] established that Po carved the figures of the Five ''himself''. [[Voodoo Shark|However]], since Po is supposed to have studied and learned all there was to know about kung fu (or at least its philosophy and history), the only way he could have made figures of the current Five but not the previous is that he only knew of the current Five (implying they'd been in the Valley since he was born, or even before that). But how did he not run across their names while learning the names of all the old masters he references in both movies and the series? |

*** Further thought: based on the suggestion below that Po's carved figures were simply his own imitation (since figures also exist of Shifu and Master Yao, and there are said to be examples still in their "original packaging"), perhaps the invention of action figures is a recent development so that they didn't exist when Fenghuang and her fellows were around. And the reason Po made his own copies was a) he couldn't afford the actual ones and b) he has such hero worship for the Five he knows, either because they were already in the Valley when he was born, or came to it during his lifetime. This still doesn't explain, however, why he didn't read of the previous Five, or hear legends of them. Chalk it up to [[Retcon]] I guess, with the writers forgetting or discounting the fact a kung fu enthusiast like Po should know all about the previous Five--and the reason he didn't is because they hadn't been created by the writers yet. |

* How the [[Sound Effect Bleep|E]][[Yu-Gi-Oh |
* How the [[Sound Effect Bleep|E]][[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|FF]] did Hundun reach the the village in one day? If Po's [[Training Montage]] is anything to go by, it must have taken Tai Lung a month or at least a week (though that's strecthing it...) to get there at full speed, and yet somehow, the rumor of Challenge Day had spread accross the valley, to Chor Gom and Hundun was able to escape and reach the village, all in the time span of one afternoon! |

** He's not the only one. Taotie seems to make it back from Chorh-Gom in "Big Brother Po" rather quickly, and in fact Bian Zao seems to make a lot of trips there and back with cakes in a short time. Granted, some of this is likely a time-lapse montage, but even so... There's also Fenghuang, whom Po seems to find in his travels rather quickly and who even taking flight into account makes it to the Valley before you know it; Po and Shifu who manage to get to Chorh-Gom and back in a short time while pursuing Tong Fo; and in "My Favorite Yao" it seems to take only a day and a night, if that, to get to Temutai's compound even though it took Po and his group at least several days to get there in "The Princess and the Po". [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]], indeed. |

* Alright I feel I can win this argument why is hundun able to get to the valley of peace so quickly? Simple before the series the only way to the prison was through a long arduous route which Tai lung would have to run to get to the valley. Why would they have such a thing? so they can get people out of the valley of peace in time just in case Tai lung did escape 9granted everyone believed the prison was impenetrable but just in case) now that the prison is in regular use a shorter route has been formed probably because Tai lung and the furious five sort of destroyed the last route. Now for Temutai why did their base seem closer in "My favorite Yao" when in "The Princess and the Po" it took a few days? Simple again after losing to Po Temutai waged war on the valley of peace (hence the peace ceremony which he was a part of despite declaring the war between him and whoever the princess belonged to) he had a base built very close to the valley. How do we know this because? Peng was able to get to Temutai in a matter of moments and during the fight they got to the valley relatively quickly. Also for extra points Po was able to find the owl lady (who's name I can't remember right now) quickly because she remained close to the jade palace waiting for oogway to disappear.Any more questons folks? |
