I told my brother (who spends all day playing WoW) that I thought this was based on the Kung-Fu Panda movies and I thought he was going to bust an artery he got so mad

whoops

Every time I see the TV commercial, I think it's for a Kung-Fu Panda sequel.

My boyfriend plays WoW and he himself said it was basically Po. From what I've heard...yeah. It's Kung Fu Panda. :X

Meh. Not to sound like a butthurt fangirl (I will, but let it be heard that I don't want to), but what you've heard probably didn't cover much if your boyfriend likened Chen to Po. Not to mention that Pandaren kind of came before Kung-Fu Panda and that the game kind of has nothing to do with Kung-Fu or believing in yourself.

They both run on chinese magical land atmo and that's really it.

Oh comp[letely. Blizzard took the idea of pandas, which totally originated with Kung Fu Panda and Po, and used that for their game. They totally weren't in their games 6 years earlier.

Except that it's not? Sure they're both anthro pandas from a ~magical land but that's where the similarities end, and Chen is nothing like Po.

Wait, it's not?

It's not - Blizzard actually started working on that particular race...I think roughly a year or so before Kung Fu Panda went into production [I can't swear that's how long it was, but I do know that they started before KFP was being made], and I think a Pandarian actually showed in one of their other games [Warcraft 3, I think?] so it honestly has nothing to do with KFP.

Plus, aside from ~*Magical Asian Atmosphere*~ the two actually aren't that much alike [and the character the OP mentions mainly shows in the trailer and for like...2-3 quests in game.]

WoW pandas came from one of the artists at Blizzard, who had the nickname "panda" when he was younger. After his daughter's birth, he drew a pic of an anthro panda dad with a cub on his back. It circulated around work, and more pics were added.

As an April Fool's joke, Blizzard took those pics, made up a bit of lore to go with them, and posted that pandas were going to be the new race in Warcraft. Players loved the idea and were bummed when they realized it was just a joke.

Chen Stormstout (the panda in the secret) was added to the Warcraft games later on, about six years before Kung Fu Panda came out in theatres.

TL;DR, nope.

Lol, I made the same mistake until I Googled the name.

samwise didier has been tossing around the panda idea way longer than kung-fu panda has existed. there were pandaren in warcraft 3 i believe.

Even if it's nothing like Kunf-Fu Panda, that trailer looks too much like Po's daydream from the beginning of the film for me to be able to take it seriously.

I feel sorry for anthro fetishists. I mean, it's a harmless kink, but there's really no way to really get what it is you like. Subs can get spanked, foot fetishists can touch feet, but you can't actually screw an anthromorphic creature because they don't exist.

Not to mention if you even dare mention it anywhere that's not FA you get jumped and accused of endorsing beastiality and all that shit.

Or you could just, you know, BE a casual furry fan. They do exist. Not all of us go about in full fursuit and junk. :V It doesn't even have to be an exclusive thing. Normal people are allowed to find animal-styled humans hot too, they're still sapient beings :V Lord knows the Mass Effect fandom has shown nobody cares if they're aliens, why does something closer to earth matter?

erm ... well, I assume then you know about the Chen porn that was lambasted on Topless Robot's Bad Fanfiction Friday several months ago?

(The author submitted their own fic, apparently and ... wel, one suspects the story was written precisely to be mocked, but ...let's just say there are fingers there for your buttons. As long as you don't mind a story where Tyrande is Shandris Feathermoon's mother ... and lover ... and the third of the three-way with Chen.)

OP here. Nope, I actually don't. O___O

Well then, go to Topless Robot, find the Bad Fanfiction Friday columns, and peruse.

(If you'd rather read the atory "as is" without snarky commentary, I noticed it not long ago on AFF. The author is Jessy, iirc, and the story title is "Chen Stormstout Conquers Azeroth" (I don't remember exactly - I was doing one of my quarterly sweeps for Kil'jaeden porn ... but then that's MY secret vice. :p).

welcome to the fandom furriend *murrs and extends paw*

Not a furry, but I'm a fan of exceptions. At the very least, this isn't bestiality because the object of your affection is intelligent and can communicate consent.

Dude, I feel like that everytime I come across an interesting, flirtable NPC/companion in SWTOR.

I'm in a happy relationship, and yet I just get to INTO those particular characters and...yeah. I know. I get the feel in some ways.

fucking pandaman sam and his panda mary sue

fucking metzen

WOW RAGE

I feel the same way about Budd. AHOOOOOOYYYY~

You're gross. Just stop.
