Kung Fu Panda

PoAndOogway — The Ultimate Goods of *Kung Fu Panda*.

Kung Fu Panda is DreamWorks' 2008 film series, despite having many admirable and influential heroes, they're not as admirable as Po or Oogway.

Plot[]

It involves a panda working at a noodle shop with a goose as his adoptive-father, but then during the time that Oogway was gonna choose the Dragon Warrior, he then end up in a firework incident that would end up getting him mistakenly chosen as the Dragon Warrior, he then was destined to stop villains like Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and Kai.

Close Contenders of the Ultimate Good[]

Shifu[]

Shifu is the series' deuteragonist, he plays a pivotal role in stopping all villains that Po counters, while also being influential for his actions, being the reason why Po stopped Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and even Kai, all whom are heinous villains. Shifu teaches Po how to become the Dragon Warrior, gain Inner Peace, and even become the teacher, which serves an important role in all three films. He also should be as powerful as Po and Oogway as they all have similar abilities as well as Shifu having more experience in Kung Fu than the former.

Despite having every qualification, he ultimately got outmatched in influence because of Po during the third film, because Po end up being superior to him as mastering Chi was not directly on Shifu's part even if Shifu was the one who taught Po about Chi, Shifu would then ask Po to teach him on how to master Chi, making Po a bit more influential than Shifu.

Mr. Ping[]

Mr. Ping is a major protagonist of the series, causing nearly every event in the series due to adopting Po and would indirectly him have him become the hero of the four films, he is indirectly responsible for Po's pivotal role in defeating Tai Lung and Lord Shen, it also helps that he have Li Shan leading an entire panda village to save Po and stop Kai using all of their Chi, leading to Kai's defeat. This also helps him in terms of admirability, as it makes him one of the most admirable characters in the series, being responsible for all of Po's admirable deeds and even plays a crucial role in assisting Po to defeat the Chameleon.

Despite having admirability and influence, he ultimately got outmatched in terms of power due to numerous characters having Kung Fu powers whereas Mr. Ping only has a Noodle Shop and isn't as strong as the other characters.

Li Shan[]

Li Shan is a major protagonist of the series, being responsible for Po's role as the Dragon Warrior as he risked his life to save his son, only for him to be sent to Mr. Ping's noodle shop and end up chosen as the Dragon Warrior two decades later, because of Li Shan, he plays an overarching role in the second film, reminding Po his past trauma regarding the death of his parents. He is also as admirable as Mr. Ping who committed similar crucial roles to help Po defeating threats like Kai or the Chameleon.

Just like Mr. Ping above, he is outmatched in terms of power due to lack of Kung Fu experience in comparison to all other Kung Fu characters and all what he only have is a Panda Village.

Tigress[]

Tigress is the series' tritagonist, she risks her life to stop Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and Kai, she is also very influential due to being the reason why Po even wanted to learn Kung Fu, as Po mentioned that he is Tigress' big fan, making it likely Tigress is the reason why Po even wanted to learn Kung Fu, she then would go on to protect Po from being killed by Shen so that Po can be safe and not be reminded of his past trauma every time he counters Shen, she also is the reason why the whole Panda Village would end up saving Po and allowing him to stop Kai as she end up warning Po, telling him that he must learn Chi to stop Kai. She also is just as powerful as Po due to being capable of physically damaging him and also survived against Tai Lung's attacks.

However, Po, Shifu, and Oogway are more influential and powerful than her as Oogway taught Shifu to be a Kung Fu Master as well as being responsible for Shifu teaching the Furious Five (especially Tigress) and Po, Po would then go on and be more influential than the majority of the characters, especially Shifu, she also struggled fighting against Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and even Kai whom Po and Oogway were even capable of defeating otherwise.
