Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness - "Mama Told Me Not to Kung Fu"
Episode 48 overall
( This episode takes place before 'The Secret Museum of Kung Fu', since the Lin Kuei are introduced as new characters )
Synopsis:
Crane's overprotective mom visits the Valley of Peace. Crane reveals to Po that his mom hates Kung Fu so he promised her that he would never have anything to do with it. He also told her that he runs an Inn at the Jade Palace. Crane asks Po and the others to help him keep his secret from his mom.
Characters:
Now that's a Crane focused episode. It’s nice to see him score a big win.
Just like pretty much everybody, Crane's mother thought he's too weak and delicate to fight. I was expecting that those heart problems are just an act by his mother to guilt-trip Crane into not fighting. I'm actually glad it was her being proud. Makes it much more wholesome. She's a good mother, only a little bit too much infantilizing her son.
Nice episode.
Villains: Heilang and the Lin Kuei are wolfs. This episode come out after Kung Fu Panda 2 so it’s not surprising they used models from that movie. They're more competent than Fung and his Croc bandits. I wonder what they're going to do next.
