Jindiao is one of the two main antagonists (alongside White Bone Demon) of the 2018 Amazon Prime original DreamWorks series Kung Fu Panda: Paws of Destiny, serving as the main antagonist of the first half and the posthumous overarching antagonist of the second half.
He was the original Dragon Master who fell from grace when his own lust for power grew great. Gaining ambitions voer godhood, Jindiao seeks to bond with the Wellspring, the source of all chi in the universe, to enslave the world in "fire and fury", who upon being casted from his own body, possesses a vulture to drain the chi of others for thousand years to organize his return to power. He is also the former mentor and master over Jade Tusk and the Poison Clan.
He was voiced by Steve Blum, who also voices Vilgax and Zs'Skayr in the Ben 10 franchise, Ares in the God of War video games, Green Goblin in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Jolly Roger in Pirates of the Caribbean Online, Red Skull in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Starscream in Transformers Prime, the Loki Master in Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Darkseid in Justice League: War and Sauron in the Middle-earth: Shadow video games.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Upon going mad with power and growing ambitions over godhood, Jindiao attempted to conquer and enslave the world "in fire and fury" in a literal sense, with various imagine spots showing villages aflame and the amount of death & destruction Jindiao will wreck upon the world for his global conquest.
- Having gone so deep in his ambitions for power, Jindiao remorselessly murdered his 4 students, the Four Constellations.
- When his spirit was casted from his body, Jindiao possessed an innocent vulture called Chong, who he used to painfully drain the chi of "lesser beings" for a thousand years, apathetic when they are all killed as a result of their life force drained or pale and at death's door as a result of his painful chi draining methods.
- In his very first scene, Jindiao ordered the execution of one of his minions for failure.
- He killed an old friend, a monk called Pious Chan, by draining him of his chi.
- He attempted to poison Po and mind-raped him in his coma to drain him off his chi, when hearing his 4 students inherited the chi of the Four Constellations.
- He decided to target Jing, the one who received White Tiger's chi, to be her host, frequently subjecting her to mind-rapes and possessions to corrupt her to his will and be his brainwashed puppet and force her to turn against her friends much to his glee.
- To test the Yaoguai's capabilities to use him as an assassin against Po and the Four Constellations, Jindiao sent a group of his men to be beaten to near death by him, smirking when one of them begs for help.
- He attacked the Panda Village and forced the Four Constellations to surrender to him under the threat of having his mooks slaughter the entire population of Panda Village, who were all the remnants of the panda race as result of Lord Shen's infamously known genocide.
- He let Bunnidharma go only so he can be driven further into despair as a result of his guilt for failing the Four Constellations once more.
- He attempted to kill Po with a lethal blast, and when Bunnidharma, who Jindiao spared to live and go mad with his failure to help the original Four Constellations, decided to take the blow and died on Po's arms, he laughed about it on Po's on it being an "unexpected treat".
- He casually sacrificed his host to take his place in the Spirit Urn and cause the deaths of the new Four Constellations, all children, while cruelly calling their petrified corpses as porch ornaments, in order to return to his dragon form.
- To begin his destructive rampage for conquest against the world, Jindiao spitefully attempted to wipe out the Panda race, burning the village while laughing at the sight of everyone panicking for their lives after having previously threatened the heroes to slaughter every panda within a thousand miles "if they are naughty again". His approach manages to stand out even more than Lord Shen himself with his own similar act, as Jindiao has an even more selfish and sinister motive with it.
- When his closest apprentice and daughter figure, Jade Tusk, is used as a hostage right in front of him, Jindiao tried to blast them both with fire while laughing at her face on how she means nothing to him anymore now that he has achieved godhood.
- He frequently goes against whatever promises he made with anyone for the sake of his own ambitions.
- While he does have a somewhat comedic defeat of being forced to listen to a talkative vulture and Yaoguai while stuck in the urn before yelling at them to shut up, it is not detracting as it happens after he is no longer a threat anymore.
- Despite the fact that Jindiao was imprisoned in spirit urn together with Chong and Yaoguai for an eternity, he fully deserved it for all the atrocities that he had done.
