If Tai Lung was redeemed, it could completely change the dynamic in the Kung Fu Panda universe. He was such a powerful and once - malevolent force. Maybe he would use his skills to train the next generation of warriors alongside Po. He could bring a different perspective to the teachings of kung fu, one that was born out of his own struggle and redemption.
In a fanfic, Tai Lung could be redeemed. Maybe he was wrongly influenced in the past. Po, being the kind - hearted panda, decides to help Tai Lung find his true self. They start training together, and Tai Lung begins to see the value in the Dragon Warrior's way of life. Their relationship evolves from enemies to something more like mentor - mentee in a reversed way, with Po guiding Tai Lung.
A great plot twist might be that Po discovers he has some hidden connection to Tai Lung. For example, they could be related in some long - lost family way. This would add a whole new layer to their relationship and the story. Po would then have to grapple with the idea of fighting someone who is, in a way, family, and Tai Lung could use this knowledge to his advantage in different ways during their confrontations.
One possible plot could be that Tai Lung somehow returns, not fully evil this time. Tigress, initially suspicious, gradually discovers that Tai Lung has had a change of heart after his time in prison. They could team up to face a new, greater threat to the Valley of Peace. Maybe a dark sorcerer has emerged and their combined skills are needed to defeat it.
A plot could be centered around Tai Lung's past. Po discovers some hidden secrets about Tai Lung's training and upbringing. He decides to go on a journey to find out more. Along the way, he meets characters who knew Tai Lung when he was young. This leads to a better understanding of Tai Lung's fall from grace and also helps Po in his own growth as a warrior. For example, Po might find an old master who trained Tai Lung briefly and learn from their experiences.
It depends on the context. If we're talking about physical strength in a direct fight, Tai Lung was extremely powerful with his leopard style. But Tigress is no slouch either. In terms of personality, Tigress is very determined and disciplined, which could make her more dominant in decision - making situations. However, Tai Lung, if he were to return with a new perspective, could also be very persuasive.
It might not be a widely popular concept in the general Kung Fu Panda fandom. The relationship between Tigress and Tai Lung in the original movie is more of an antagonist - protagonist dynamic. However, in the world of fanfiction, some niche groups might explore this idea for the sake of creativity and exploring different character relationships.
One type of Tai Lung fanfic could be a 'what - if' scenario. What if Tai Lung had been redeemed? Writers could create a story where he overcomes his pride and anger, and uses his skills for good. This would change the whole dynamic of the story and give a new perspective on his character.
They could form an alliance if they found a common enemy. For example, if a new, more powerful villain emerged that threatened the Valley of Peace. Tai Lung might see that working with Po is the only way to protect what he once tried to destroy.
The OC should have a clear motivation that ties into Tai Lung's world. For example, if the OC is also a martial artist, they could be seeking to prove themselves against Tai Lung, which immediately creates a connection.
