Film Theory: Kung Fu Panda, The REAL Reason Po is the Chosen One! - Summary

Summary

The speaker begins by discussing the popularity of pandas, highlighting their unique behaviors such as their sneezes and their love for slides. They mention that pandas are often seen as uninterested in mating for the survival of their species, leading to a lot of conservation money being spent on them.

The speaker then introduces the topic of the film "Kung Fu Panda", where the main character, Po, is a panda who is chosen to be the Dragon Warrior. The speaker discusses why Po is chosen for this role, despite not being the typical image of a warrior. They argue that Po's body type, which is not typical for a warrior, is actually an advantage.

The speaker also discusses the concept of body types in sports and how it's often misconstrued that a specific body shape is necessary for athletic performance. They provide examples from boxing and tennis to illustrate this point.

The speaker then delves into the science behind why pandas are often portrayed as lazy and low energy. They explain that pandas have slow metabolic rates due to their diet of bamboo, which is inefficient for digestion. However, they argue that Po's diet, which includes more energy-rich foods, makes him more energetic than a typical panda.

The speaker also discusses the concept of different styles of kung fu and how each animal in the Furious Five represents a different style. They argue that Po's instincts and his familiarity with all the styles make him a good candidate for the Dragon Warrior.
