Jackie Chan Adventures "Re-enter The Dragon" Talkback (Spoilers)

**Batman's Biggest Fan** · 03-08-2003, 09:47 AM

Well, this is the "true" season 3 finale. And well what a finale! Shendu came back. I wonder if he intended to free his demon brothers and sisters. Hak Foo, Finn, Ratso and Chow have been turned back into humans and have been arrested so has Daolon Wong. (Valmont was already arrested in "Little Valmont, Big Jade" and last week's "Tohru Who?") I have a feeling Shendu will be back. He always is. (Right now he has been turned back into a statue and is locked up in Section 13) Anyway the season 3 episode (the main episodes, not the fillers.) made this another great season for Jackie. Roll on season 4!

Shendu can still somen the shadowkhans to get his talismans, unless Uncle used a spell to stop him. Besides that was only 12 episodes, there might be one left. And what will happen to the other animals?

**Batman's Biggest Fan** · 03-08-2003, 11:09 AM

Jackie gave them back to their owners but they kept the dog as he had no home.

**The Master Con** · 03-08-2003, 11:39 AM

I'm glad the rocks are back in stone form. I liked that concept better than the living power animals. It's also interesting that Shendu is in Section 13 and it's almost a given that Uncle will need his knowledge somewhere in Season 4.

**Captin "Hank" Murphy** · 03-08-2003, 11:57 AM

I don't think there is gonna be a season 4, the way Kids WB advertise it, they made it sound like this was the series finally.

btw, good ep.

Actually Season 4 has been confirmed.

**Zim999** · 03-08-2003, 02:30 PM

The animals:

Scurffy:Now thier's, was a stray.
Sasha:Her owner's are scared of her after she split in two, so where is she going to go?
The Rat:They might put him back in the tempel.
Hi cu:They might give him back to his owner.
Lucky:The team he was the mascott for dosen't need him, see Sasha.
Baaaaaab:They might take him back to Scoctland.
The Snake:He's only a baby, so they might keep him.
Noble Medichine:They might take him or her back to the track.
The Yak:They might take him back to the place they found him.
Eggbert & Mortacai were free of there powers.
Shendu is now locked in the vault.

**Batman's Biggest Fan** · 03-08-2003, 02:41 PM

I wonder what Daolon Wong trusted Shendu to give him the power of Combustion. Shendu said it was rightfully his.

**Batman's Biggest Fan** · 03-08-2003, 05:43 PM

"One More Thing"

Do you think Shendu intended to free his demon brothers and sisters?

**The Master Con** · 03-08-2003, 06:58 PM

Nah. Besides the portals are locked, how could he? Remember Shendu was a ghost type figure trapped in the limbo. Anyway, now that the seasons over here are my complements and complaints...

Good:
1. New villian
2. Cool Finale
3. Cameos in Seach Episodes
4. Less Fillers
5. Magic Battles

Bad:
1. Fin and the gang as the dark warriors
2. Valmont voice change?
3. Another hunt
4. Shadowkhan (spelling?) appearing in one ep and then dissapeared

I also found it strange that this year's "race" to stop the bad guys from taking over the world was a talisman hunt. Especially since they tried to make it very clear in season two that "Talismans are not important".

**Batman's Biggest Fan** · 03-08-2003, 08:05 PM

^I think the reason why Talismans were important again were because Daolon wanted to use the talismans to give him ultimate power. And the reason why each season has a hunt is because that's the shows formula. Well, you should be happy because Season 4's main villian will be the King of the Shadowkhan. But, yes I also don't like Valmont's new voice. Be glad that Finn, Ratso, Chow and Hak Foo have been turned back into humans. I wonder though what role the Dark Hand will have in Season 4 if any.

**Avery** · 03-08-2003, 08:12 PM

Well, a generally great episode. Nice for the finale, but sad, too. I'll miss the DCE . . . even though they're better human.

Good things:
1. EXCELLENT way to tie up the story. Shendu is always a hoot, but his return was very well orchestrated. Daolon Wong should have known better than to trust a demon. It always turns out badly. We also get the DCE turned human again, thankfully.

2. JCA has a penchant for saving their best animation for season premieres/finales, which is both a good and a bad thing, but in this case, we get to see a wonderful example of the good side. The spell that ressurected Shendu was particularly impressive.

3. Great pacing. The tension in both Section 13 and Daolon Wong's hideout is palapable. Kudos!

4. The Dark Hand getting to Section 13. Sets it up nicely for some guest appearences later, maybe some fillers.

5. Lil' Shendu. Need I say more?

Bad things:

1. The DCE being changed back wasn't . . . well, I want to say dramatic enough. Maybe it's because I'm a Dark Hand Fan Girl, but I thought it should at least match the original transformation sequence. Of course, with everything that was going on, it wasn't exactly like there was time, was there?

2. Jackie knocking out Shendu with one punch. I know it's a cartoon, but, *really*. Come on.

**The Master Con** · 03-08-2003, 08:43 PM

One plot error I noticed was that Shendu should have been able to lift the car since he had the power of levitation. I'm glad they spaced it out to one ep since it has a better overall feel to it, I don't know why. A pitty that Wong didn't go out with a bang though.

**Mister Intensity** · 03-08-2003, 08:46 PM

It looks like there is a new member of the cast, Scruffy.

A good ending to this season's quest. Although I do think the ending was rushed. It was kind of funny that the DCE never got to use their new armors. I loved how the DCE loved getting their humanity back except for Huk-Fo who is so obssessed with power that would willingly sacrifice his humanity just to get more power. I wonder if Daolon would have betrayed Shendu if Shendu hadn't beaten him to it.

Why jail the DCE and Daolon in Section 13 next to the talismans since it is entirely possible for them to get their hands on them. I would just love to see Daolon Wong in a real jail away from his books and anything else he could use to cast spells. That would be fun.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the season and next season.

Yes, Shendu always brightens the story. Daolon Wong could never replace Shendu in my eyes as Jackie's ultimate enemy.

2. JCA has a penchant for saving their best animation for season premieres/finales, which is both a good and a bad thing, but in this case, we get to see a wonderful example of the good side. The spell that ressurected Shendu was particularly impressive.

Yes, we even saw him as a baby.

Wow, that was amazing.

4. The Dark Hand getting to Section 13. Sets it up nicely for some guest appearences later, maybe some fillers.

Fillers? No!!!!!!! Then again Season 4 will probably have less fillers than season 3.

5. Lil' Shendu. Need I say more?

Heh

Hmm, yeah, but at least they're human again, right?

2. Jackie knocking out Shendu with one punch. I know it's a cartoon, but, *really*. Come on.

Yep. I would have understood, if he had the strength Talisman in his hand.

700th Post!

Who gave it a two? On the poll? *hits he or she with the two-finger salute*

**Sango** · 03-09-2003, 03:05 PM

Awwww..crap. I missed the episode!

**Batman's Biggest Fan** · 03-09-2003, 08:56 PM

Hmm, this reminds me, I should post talkbacks for the first season and second season finale.

**Viper** · 03-10-2003, 01:53 PM

Fantastic season finale!!!

Although, I agree with Avery about Jackie knocking out Shendu so easily. Anyway, as a JCA fan myself, I love this show and can't wait for Season 4!

BTW, there's still one more filler ep to show. It's the one where the entire J-Team goes up against...THEIR OWN CLONES!

That should be exciting! I can't wait to see what the clones will look like and how they'll act, especially the clones of Jade and Viper herself! Can't wait!

**amanda_aka_artiste** · 03-10-2003, 06:44 PM

Not bad for a season finale. I really thought Shendu would be harder to bring down (I was a little disappointed that it wasn't something that spanned over 2 episodes or something but I guess that's cuz I can't get enough of a good thing,

).

BTW, this is my first time reviewing an episode of JCA but I've really gotten into the series especially since the episodes with Hsi Wu (I know there were like only 4) started showing. I hope they'll bring back the demons in season 4. Jade, Viper, and Hsi Wu are my favorite characters, an episode can never go wrong with one of those three in it. That's my opinion anyways. ^_^
