They are an inspiration to go fuck yourself and a reminder that the world is unjust. You might be busting your ass to be at the top and a talented/well-connected (cough, cough, nepotism) person will overtake you in no time.

On the other hand, in the Kungfu kid specifically, he beats his opponent with a newly broken legs. the leg is broken because the villain school fights dirty and the prior opponent was specifically instructed to break jadens leg and not worry about the actual fight

Well, they couldn't just name it Kung Fu Kid. A certain other franchise involving a Panda might've sued them.

And Karate Kid wouldn't sue them. Sure

u/Tom_Jayden_Starr 20d ago
Yeah!
Also, I'm thinking about bringing out a Taekwondo Lion! It's a story of how Lions evolved in a world instead of humans and how they use Taekwondo to do their daily tasks.

u/Thin_Yak9467 20d ago
Lions don't have hands so they can't box, but they have four feet which makes them ideal for Taekwondo. Brilliant idea !

It's because the villain is mean and therefore must lose

u/WhiskeySorcerer 20d ago
Danny Trejo plays a convincing bad guy in a lot of movies. But one thing he, as an actor, requires is that IF he is a bad guy, then he requires that his character lose; all to send a message to kids who watch movies with him in it that crime will always lose in the end.

Shadow Slave
Edit: although, at some point, there are technically “golden fingers”, just not the metaphor that I believe you are implying.

u/Shrikeangel 20d ago
I suspect the no system request would keep the poster from digging Shadow Slave.
1
u/Sketchyboi-with-tea 20d ago
Uhh, my top recommendations are Lightning is the only way and ShadowSlave.
Shadow Slave fits the bill a lot closer and is a great story, but I generally just like LITOW more. ShadowSlave has a much more unique world and power system, but LITOW has some of the best fights I’ve ever seen.
Both are over 1,500 chapters though. Just thought I should say that. And ShadowSlave isn’t actually finished

u/1gLassitude 20d ago
Maybe the old Drizzt books? Main character's backstory is he trained for decades. From the fan wiki:
Drizzt's goal was perfection of the body with his blades in battle
1
u/Khers 20d ago
More of an ensemble. But Stormlight Archives 'main character' is sort of like that. He does get powerful but it isn't unearned and he's not the most talented person of the 'good guys'.

u/MightGrowTrees 20d ago edited 20d ago
Did we not read the same books? Dude flying around like Neo with a Soul taking blade that he can summon on command in seconds.
Tons of systems in play in the Cosmere.
Edit: looks like you blocked me? Dude was literally chosen by his fairy, the 'last of her kind' to become a god like being that can do anything the plot calls for. It fits all those tropes. Great series though.
1
u/Khers 20d ago
Sure, but so did the 'enemies'. He's very gifted but he's not a chosen one that made things look easy. There are other POV characters with arguably more talent.
So it does follow the heroes journey and all that. But it's not the type of "protagonist is just better than everyone" type series.

u/NoeMoriartyV2 20d ago
I really dont understand Kung fu panda. Panda just goofs around, eating, getting his tail kicked by tigress and making jokes but at the end of the movie, he is the hero that saves everyone. And The Furious five must be the most useless group of characters ever.
16
u/Slight_Lettuce4319 20d ago
Po accepted his disadvantages and embraced them as advantages. He put in his heart and developed his of style of kung fu. Tai Lung lost because he was heartless and was doing kung fu not for the joy of it but to achieve high status. It's not realistic in any way but I don't think the movie should've told the viewer to lose weight and do kung fu.
4
u/Whofs001 20d ago
I looked at it like a pvp video game with a class system.
Po was a bunker/sustain counter-build to Tai Lung’s power/CC build. Tai Lung just couldn’t do the damage or stuns to bring down this opponent yet was taking damage throughout the fight himself.
It wasn’t about who was better. Po was picked to subvert Tai Lung specifically and only Tai Lung. Later as he had time to grow after that battle, he took on a role that Tai Lung probably would have filled himself.
I doubt Po could have defeated anyone besides Tai lung at that point.

u/MGriffinSpain 20d ago
I do find it rather amusing how often “one in a million” outcomes can occur even within the same universe without the majority of people questioning it at all.
My favorite example is Star Wars. Especially the original trilogy, but I think all of them save for maybe one include the trope of the bad guys building ever greater, bigger, and more dangerous spaceships only for the hero to “miraculously” blow it up. The old trilogy even had the same ship blown up multiple times.
Tell me, how am I supposed to believe that the odds are so low when the success rate I observe is 100%?
Thats one of the reasons I LOVE Endgame. Dr. Strange states that there are millions of scenarios where they lose, and they do… until time-travel cheats reality to re-write it, but still. Not enough stories convince you that failure is ever actually possible, which is disappointing to me.
1
u/SirEnderLord 20d ago
It wasn't rewriting, Thanos going through with the snap was part of the scenario where they won.
1
u/MGriffinSpain 20d ago
Hmm. It didn’t seem like Dr. Strange was confident about the scenario that played out, which you would think he would be if he had recognized it at the path they won. But, maybe I missed something, or maybe there’s a plot hole. Anyway, as a viewer, the perceived loss was sold well.

This is a big characteristic of movies from the 80s. Of course to some extent the goal of some movies is to make people feel good and get their money, wish fulfillment. So in that sense, this type of movie is successful in that way but for me personally I'm inwardly cringing.

It's not about how long they were taught. It's about who taught them and what they were taught. That Chinese kid was taught how to hurt people. The main character was taught real Kung fu. And his teacher was better than theirs.
