Reborn (fanfic): Difference between revisions

'''Kung Fu Panda: [[Reborn']]'' is a crossover-like story, based two years after an alternate ending to ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'', in which [[Ascended Fanboy|Po]] dies when shot with a cannonball, and [[Five-Man Band|the Furious Five]] are [[Downer Ending|taken captive, tortured, and over time, killed]]. Two years later, [[Back From the Dead|Tigress comes back]] to [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|kill]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|the]] [[Five-Bad Band|ones who killed]] [[It's Personal|her and her friends]] in [[Death by Irony|ways relating to how they killed the others of the Furious Five]].

''Reborn'' started, according to the author," as a "what if" that occurred to him when watching Kung Fu Panda 2 with a couple of his buddies, and they all asked the same question at some point while watching: "What would happen if Po hadn't survived that?". Shortly after watching ''[[The Crow]]'' for perhaps the umpteenth time, it hit him." The result is a story attempting to blend a [[Darker and Edgier|grittier, pseudo-noir/gothic]] feel with the action that Kung Fu Panda is known for. The author agrees, however, that your mileage may vary.
