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 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.
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.
Well, if Tai Lung was injured and Po found him instead of fighting him right away. Po could take Tai Lung to the Jade Palace and nurse him back to health. During this time, they would have conversations and Tai Lung would see the kindness in Po and the true meaning of the kung fu that he once coveted. This would change their relationship from one of enmity to one of mutual respect and a strange kind of friendship.
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.
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 the Kung Fu Panda series, their story is mainly centered around their growth in kung fu and their friendship within the Furious Five. Po is often clumsy but has a big heart, and Tigress is the strong and serious one. They support each other in battles and in training, but not in a romantic way.
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.
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.
