Why did the furious five hate Po so much?
Tigress especially hated Po, well at first anyway, there was a lot of tension going on there.

Because they worked their asses off for something and it got given to someone who put no effort towards it. They didn't really hate him though just disappointed.
shareMaybe jealousy, maybe disappointment.
Or maybe they were just being jerks.
Either way, it seemed like a lesson in "Never meet your heroes."
Because the dragon warrior was a title reserved for the greatest kung-fu master and they had busted their tails for years training at the martial art and who does the title go to but someone who not only has no training but is tripping and bumbling all over himself with no explanation other than vague philosophy. Their frustration is completely understandable they just had no right to be mean to Po which they really weren't for the most part.
shareCheck the thread started by davis-gtigre95. He (she) voices what I think would be the Furious 5s' reaction to having an untrained amateur being given the ultimate title in kung fu.
- You may have come on no bicycle, but that does not say that you know everything.
How can people watch a movie and yet remain so oblivious, even though everything is explained very well, in a way that's very easy and simple to understand?
Oh, I just looked at your name - not even capitalized...
It's not worth getting into, but I have nothing else to do anyway,so here goes.
She explained the whole thing in the movie - Sifu loved Tai Lung so much, he couldn't see what an a-hole Tai Lung really was. Oogway saw 'darkness in his heart', so Sifu realized there was something wrong, and eventually, his eyes were opened to the full horror of the situation. This meant Sifu closed his heart and refused to feel anything good for his students anymore, so Tigress felt she was robbed out of a childhood Sifu freely gave Tai Lung.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't 'buy Sifu's love', so she tried harder, and failed harder, and so on. This made her bitter and angry, but she thought she at least proved herself as some sort of kung-fu master to Sifu and others.
Then suddenly some fat, untrained panda with no discipline or skills appears and is immediately taken in by Oogway, which makes Sifu reluctantly accept him in the group. It doesn't feel deserved or earned to Tigress, who worked so hard all her life just to impress Sifu somehow. The panda is accepted so easily, it triggers the already existing anger, bitterness and resentment, so Tigress feels the only way she can prove her worth, is to handle Tai Lung and thus show everyone she IS the true Dragon Warrior.
This fails spectacularly, of course, but there's plenty to hate about Po from her perspective and point of view. The rest just see him as a nerdy loser who doesn't deserve such sudden elevation in status, but Tigress has deeper, more meaningful reasons for resenting and hating him, and she's being surprisingly reserved about it in the movie.
If you don't get it now, I can't help ya.
You do realize that you're responding to folks that aren't here, right?🙄
"Oh, I just looked at your name - not even capitalized..."
Neither is yours, genius! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
