Ask the Ruminerds; Kung Fu Panda Trilogy

 


Gus: Probably one of the best Kung Fu movie trilogies, hooves down.


Joel: Seconded...It's a great mixture of like classic Kung Fu style plot lines and intrigue...not to mention the humor.


Gus: Oh yeah, it's amazing how the...I don't even know how to describe it properly. It's like it's paced in such a way that you don't get tonal whiplash from switching from the more comedic elements to the serious moments to the badass fight scenes...It's like it finds a way to strike a perfect balance of all those things and somehow maintains it for three films.


Joel: That's what happens when you keep the team and director consistent across the entire project. The director came in with a plan and a vision and worked with a super-talented team to get it done.


Melanie: I'm just amazed they were able to make those 'non-mammalian' characters actually feel real despite being CGI


Joel: Well not all of them were CG. Master Monkey was actually a fox in a monkey suit and makeup. The ones that were total CG were Master Viper and Master Mantis...Hey...did anyone else find Master Viper kinda hot?


Gus: Ew, no.


Melanie: Nope.


Vernon: Nah...


Broomie: Ehhh....


Dawn: Not really...


Megumi: Absolutely. One hundred percent.


Joel: Thanks for backing me up babe.


Megumi: I would let that snake coil me up and do things to me, and I'm not even into girls...


Melanie: Speaking of, was I....mam' this is gonna sound weird considering who I'm friends with...but was anyone else put off by the romantic subtext between Master Tigress and Po?


Vernon: You were put off by interspecies subtext? *The wolf quirks a brow*


Melanie: No! No! I mean, look you and Dawn are great together. Broomie and Talia, Joel and Megumi, I'm not judging, I love you guys. It's not a species thing it's...I mean Tigress is so cool, and like...Po is super lame...


Broomie: This is coming from you...of all mammals? Seriously? *Broomie glances at Gus, then back to Melly before nodding his head toward the billy.*


Gus: *Gives Broomie a dull glare before shifting his attention back to his mate.* Babe...


Melanie: What? WHAT?


Gus: *Rolls his eyes*


Melanie: Oh come on, I'm not saying...*Shakes her head* Look, you aren't...I'm not cool!


Joel: So Gus is lame then? *Snickers*


Melanie: NO! Gussy I'm not making like...Po's annoying and fat!


Vernon: Ain't most Panda's fat? 


Megumi: Generally...Red Panda's also tend to be on the chunky side...it's a bear family thing. We're big-boned and built to put on weight fast...make's it tough to lose it.


Melanie: You aren't annoying or fat Gussy! You know I love you!


Dawn: Melly, stop digging before you hit a sewage main, please...


Vernon: He is grouchy a lot of the time though...


Broomie: And frustrating to argue with...


Joel: And mean...


Gus: *Rolls his eyes* I feel. SO loved. Right now...


(Wasty: In this universe, I see the Kung Fu Panda trilogy as a series of action films for adults. If I were to equate it to something similar in our world, it would probably be something between crouching tiger hidden dragon, and Kung Fu Hustle.  With maybe just a pinch of my favorite kung fu film of all time, Kung Pow, enter the fist.)
