Not Depressed Though - Blog Posts

EXACTLY!

Tigress lived her life trying to be better, meet expectation (until her teens when she was allowed to learn her own style of Kung Fu) and even aftwerward she wanted to help Shifu, her dad, further. She wanted him to have peace with the defeat of Tai Lung.

In the scene where Po is picked as Dragon Warrior we see Tigress' reaction. She's almost disappointed at the thought of being chosen but ready to accept it. And even though she hasn't been chosen, seeing it as her failure, she is determined to defeat Tai Lung.

And she was pretty close with the Furious Five to back her up. Tai Lung was just too strong though. I mean honestly teaching someone nerve acupuncture Shifu, really?

Sorry lol, i just love Tigress.

I believe we don’t talk about this scene as much as we should.

We all remember this scene, right?

This scene takes place after Po’s training and the battle between the Furious Five and Tai Lung. It was clear who had won the battle.

Here, we see Shifu recovering the Five’s nerves after they were attacked by Tai Lung using his nerve attack (which Shifu had taught him).

This scene absolutely broke me. Because not only can you hear the disappointment in Tigress’ voice when she says, “I thought we could stop him…” but her face also indicates that she feels guilty for not being able to defeat Tai Lung, making it clear to her that she is not the Dragon Warrior. None of them were.

The title she worked hard for almost all her life. The only chance she knows that could finally give her the love and approval she’s been longing for was not meant for her…
