tai lung didnt want to be the dragon warrior to appease some megalomanic dream of evils. tai lung needed to be the dragon warrior to finally accept that he was wanted in life. since he had been abandoned when he was a baby.

the dragon warrior legend has been engraved in their history. not onlywas teh dragon warrior a kungfu master, they were also supposed to bring unity and peace. they were fundamental to the entire world.

for tai lung, becoming dragon warrior would mean that he was wanted, or even needed, to be in the universe. that his legacy had been engraved in history. becoming dragon warrior was a form of validation for his life.
