>his entire backstory is revealed in the first 2 minutes (the first movie waits 40 minutes before revealing Tai Lung's backstory)

They dropped the ball there

This is not a grievance with KFP2 as much as fiction in general.
Why is self fulfilling prophecy so gay.
It's like "revenge is bad."
Just say you like men already the worst part is how over done it is.

Tai Lung's backstory is revealed after this scene. He's a completely mysterious character at this point, which is a reason why this scene is so awesome

They made a different movie for the sequel.

This scene is a letdown. Just when they finally drop the casual talk and start going to where we want to (heart-to-heart talk), they get interrupted and then don't have another conversation for the rest of the movie

Do you ever shut up?

>first movie was directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne, plus had a storyline credited to Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris

>neither of them came back for the sequels or for any other DreamWorks productions

That makes me raise an eyebrow

It's quite obvious that Reiff and Voris didn't write the storylines of the sequels or created the new characters introduced in them (Shen, Soothsayer, Kai, Zhen, etc)
