Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

#This is neither a criticism nor a compliment of that artistic choice #I just think it's really interesting #Like even looking at the Five:#Tigress talks in an older style than the others because she was mainly raised at the Jade Palace #While Mantis talks like Joe-schmo off the street because he *was* a streetfighter and an ordinary guy #Shifu and even Tai Lung talk like they're from an old-fashioned novel or kung fu movie #Po talks like a modern guy you'd meet working in a twenty-first century family restaurant #Part of Tigress's initial disdain for him in the first movie is clearly because she considers him to be low-class/a commoner #(And therefore an intruder into the world of the Jade Palace and the rest of the Kung Fu masters which appears to be semi-noble).#Shen looks genuinely off-put and disgusted when he has to respond to Po's greeting with a “...hey.”#And when Po wants to appear more legitimate as a warrior he adopts a more “legendary”/old-fashioned way of speaking.#In the aesthetic language of KFP old fashioned=noble/upper class and modern=common/lower class.#This translates entirely naturally—I think especially to an American audience—but it is wild once you notice it #Because you realize: “Hang on—shouldn't *all* these characters be talking like they're living in the medieval era?”#“And what does it mean that they're not? What is the movie attempting to convey with this—probably entirely subconscious—artistic choice?”#kung fu panda

genuinely boggles my mind that it took until the year of our lord two thousand and twenty-four for new york city to embrace the concept of garbage bins.

#like reading about a medieval city #where people emptied their chamber pots into the street #and complained about all the cholera outbreaks #no wonder the city has a rat problem!#i'm surprised it's not ruled by a monstrous rat-lord named Glorbus the Unclean

The Midsummer Watch Festival in Chester is a historic parade and festival that takes place in Chester, England. It is one of the oldest festivals in the country, dating back to the early 14th century. The festival originally began in 1498 and was initially organized by the city's guilds and the clergy to celebrate the feast of St. John the Baptist on June 24th, which coincided with the midsummer solstice.- Chester, UK
