Master Monkey’s Dramatic Backstory | Kung Fu Panda
Фильм және анимация
Today I want to explore the dramatic and surprisingly heartbreaking backstory of the comedian of the Furious Five: Master Monkey. You see this golden snub nosed monkey was raised by his mother along with his older brother Wu Kong, and grew up feeling like a joke. In response, he pranked everyone around him and tormented the rest of his village, until Master Oogway humbled him and convinced him he should use his fighting abilities for good, and that turning point would eventually lead him to kung fu, Tigress, and the Jade Palace.

Monkey's backstory is heartbreaking but his story molded him into who he is now if that makes sense. Also Issac I just wanna say your channel is freaking awesome and I've been a subscriber for 2 years in that time I've gained some information from you and I just want to say thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

Monkey has a heartbreaking life. But once Oogway said "Yesterday Is History ,Tomorrow Is A Mistery ,but Today Is A Gift." His story may not have such a happy beginning, but it doesn't make you who you are, It is the rest of the story who he choose to be.

I’m pretty sure it’s a paraphrase from some popular post somewhere. But I have seen “The one who laughs loudest hides the most sadness” on some generic school kindness posters.
You know what’s crazy about monkey and his brother wukong There both tricksters in a similar way to the monkey king sun wukong I believe that monkey represents the monkey kings path to finding himself and becoming more humble in journey to the west Like hear me out Monkey represents sun wukong Wukong represents the six eared macaque And perhaps oggway represents the Buddha maybe Idk just a random thought I had if you’ve seen or read journey to the west you’ll get the reference It’s also ironic because there is a monkey king sun wukong in the kung fu panda universe He shows up in paws of destiny

Monkey has to be by far my favorite. An agile, acrobatic Kung Fu practitioner, with a unique fighting style. It's hard to think he was really all alone for most of his life. Just there and no one bothered to notice. Yet because of these things he became the great trickster, outsmarting anyone he came across. Considering he tried to avoid being the butt of all jokes I can understand why. No one wants to look like the idiot. Monkey started as a typical trickster, bully kid we all don't like, but grew to be a dignified master. We were all that guy at one time, which is why I think most can relate to Monkey.
That was the most tragic backstory I've ever heard. :'(
Omg I just love the backstorys of these amazing characters and how they all tie into the movies💖that's one of the reasons why i love kung fu panda and that it's one of my favourite trilogies💖 And p.s. I love your videos Isaac, you're awesome💖
I say do Mantis next and save Crane for last Then afterwards I want to hear you talk about Astrid's backstory from How To Train Your Dragon
Wait, u watched Monsters vs Aliens for the first time recently!? Ok I'm kinda excited cause I do really like that movie and lowkey I shipped something in it. Also Susan is great, I love her.
is it just me or deas every kung fu character suffers or had a tragic story like how tigres has no family monkey, no dad crane, no freinds po, no mom po’s two dads, no wives shifu, lost friend, and son figure oogway , a lost brother in arms mantis , well I know someone he lost
Because you did a video on the relationships of Daisy and Donald and Scrooge and Goldie, can you please do a video explaining Gandra and Fenton's relationship?
Does po can really hear a Butterfly's wing beat and can survive with a single Ginco leaf ?

as always, good job. thanks. poor monkey. happy he grew to become a great hero. hope you fell better
man, monkey really has one of the if not the most sad backstory, first he lost his girlfriend then his brother now his mother, which is the most heartbreaking and sad experience a person can go through.
Good god his backstory is sadder than I remember
Please get better soon, Isaac. You're an awesome guy.
I hope you feel better Issac also your videos are fantastic 😁
Even the reason his backstory is sad is kinda funny, like this man would have been a villain whose main reason to be so was that he lost his pants. That is something I expect to hear Doofenshmirtz to use as reasoning one of these days... assuming he ever gets a gag reel of plans, inventions, ect.
Good to see you again. And it's good to see you getting better. Your videos are good but at times you need rest. Again good to see you getting better.
Monkey's backstory was interesting to see. Nicely done
Dude, Isaac, did you get contacts or something? Losing the nerd frames sent you from a 3/10 to an 8/10 on the Attract-O-Meter!
Thank you for your videos
Very well done. Applause!
I really really really really really really really love your videos dude
Keeping you in My prayers Isaac
Dude…Issac without his glasses is kinda AWESOME- But no matter what he looks like I will always watch his content! It’s just really fun to hear someone talk about the things their so passionate about :D
Monkey is related to Wukong from A Journey to the West.
I will be honest the fact his brother was Named Wu Kong should have been a reveal he could be malicious, after all Sun Wukong could also be malicious and wrecked havoc on the bureaucracy of heaven itself.
Questions about nessy . Is she a survivor from the past or banished from the future. if dinosaurs died out only thousands of years ago then more likely to be a living plesiosaur . but I heard in the future she was banished . Abd siting go all the way back to the 15th century see any connections . Can she live long or maybe just like how I heard theories mike& Scott are example of parthenogenosis or maybe ness is both my when gist banished had babies with the plesiosaurs . Maybe italy's sea monsters. Are full monster / human hybrids . Of course looking its own I would guess they started out as humans who could become aquatic and that would create Incredible connections like a aquaman only without ability to talk to fish it was already called our generation of little mermaid and the hole point of finding Nemo was to call a big BS on Sabashin's under the sea utopia. Happy fish world .. Maybe all the supper humans are human monster Hybrids and JackJack took the form of his grandfather ? No would you or should I say they want to have 😘 with thing piosioness to them . So back to drowning board with Ness in Scotland back in the 15 century . . And in a short film the witch said how would like breathe under water early in the Pixar theory I instantly connected finding Nemo but maybe the sea monsters are people wanted ability to change back . Maybe all the super humans are who tired of her games demanded the powers without being turned into animals Mr Incredible has the strangth of more then 10 men . oh no alll these animal powers Super powers and Monster powers all look so similar Hank Violet &Randell . It's so fustrating yet the thing that connects all of those just by the trailer is called Turning Red
Great video
Beautiful job 👏👏👏👏.
Great video.
I would love to see Monster vs Aliens. Please do that show. It was fantastic 👏
Awesome 👍 video... Luv it... Be safe everyone 😜...
Funny enough in Chinese mythology there is a spirit known as the Monkey King who is said to be a trickster

i hope you feel better soon
Poor monkey’s mother. That broken-hearted heart attack she had when monkey and his brother fought
Feel better soon
Please do all backgrounds story in moive. Good work on the video.
Great 👍 job
Plz do a theory how kion got his mane because we didn't see simba have the same red mane when he was a cub
Monkey deserved a bigger role in the movies.
No wonder he's Po's best friend, and it's mega awesome how he's voiced by Jackie Chan!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D Without a doubt!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Hope you get better dude
Can you do the back story’s of Master Crane or Mantis next.
And even then maybe just below Po he's still the most playful and fun loving of the members of the Jade Palace. And really still enjoys the occasional prank and joke. But really, with a brother like that and people like that, jeez.
All we need now is Master Mantis and Master Crane to finish the entire furious five stories
@Issac Carlson Can you do videos that revolve around the Amphibia series please?
1:49 1:50 1:51 1:52 1:53 1:54 1:55 1:56 1:57 1:58 1:59 I remember that episode from when I was a kid. I know it’s NEVER okay to be betrayed by your girlfriend and brother.

"You save me, why?"
Finally Monkey’s Story
monkey is favorite character ☺️🥰

You could say he was always caught in the middle.
That is a sad story
Do Master Mantis!
Are used to have monsters versus aliens on DVD
“You saved me, why? Mmmm, monkey”
3:14 "Hmmm......Monke"
Wu Kong might be a reference to Son Wu Kong, the monkey from the journey to the west
4:13 I wish we could hear what jokes they were telling
22 was a contrariant .organized other souls really well . was brutally honest a bit of a sadist liked sedocu but had no personality what do ever😒
oof painful of how monkey has a sad life
I like the Journey to the West with Monkey's brother. I always like the impact that story has on modern pop culture.
Almost at 1 mil
Could you do a video about crane? Please?
Can we have some monsters vs aliens videos
Do the snake back story
Master Monkey is actually similar to Sun Wukong.
i always thought monkey loooked like bread
Can you do the last one mantis please
I feel kind of bad for Monkey
