The Secret Scroll Test in Kung Fu Panda

A fan theory hypothesizes that in Kung Fu Panda, Tai Lung's destiny as the Dragon Warrior was never denied; rather, it was a test of his humility. Denying him the scroll was a way to gauge his inner peace and balance. If Tai Lung had responded with humility, he would have proven his worthiness. However, his anger and hatred in the face of denial showed he was not yet ready. The empty scroll symbolizes this unfulfilled potential, emphasizing that it was his inability to wield power responsibly that held him back.
