While Tai Lung was very much The Ace and a prodigy, learning 1,000 scrolls worth of techniques, he only looked to the physical and technical aspects of Kung-Fu and never focused on spiritual enlightenment or peace within himself. Being raised to crave outside validation for accomplishments was detrimental to Tai Lung's personal growth, who instead needed to look to himself rather than others. While in most Kung-Fu stories, he would be the chosen one, the nature of the Dragon Scroll renders that belief meaningless and indeed, anathema to the purpose of Kung-Fu.

Tai Lung believed he was the chosen one due to his father figure raising him into becoming the best student from the temple. While Tai Lung was imprisoned by his father figure, it was for a good reason as Tai Lung would do anything to get the Dragon Scroll and attacked his mentor/father figure without mercy and showed he would go to extreme lengths to get what he wants.

  • Over time he became convinced that he would be chosen as the Dragon Warrior.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Shifu told him throughout his childhood that he was destined for greatness and trained him accordingly.
  • He spent his entire life lusting for the power of the scroll, only to find it has no such power and he fails to understand its message.
  • All for Nothing: He at long last gets the Dragon Scroll only to find it completely blank save for a gold reflective surface.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: He was adopted and groomed by Shifu into being the Dragon Warrior of prophecy but felt abandoned once Oogway told him that he wasn't the Dragon Warrior because Shifu did nothing to sway his opinion or justify his decision to Tai Lung.
