For generations, too many blockbuster franchises have leaned on “chosen one” heroes who were simply born special, from Harry Potter and Neo to Kung Fu Panda and Austin Powers, who discovered to his chagrin that he and the villainous Dr. Evil were secretly twin brothers.

The “Kung Fu Panda” star encouraged audience members to restrain themselves after several videos showed “Minecraft” viewers at various showings throwing objects, screaming and loudly cheering during a viral scene.

As a child of the ’90s, I should be salty that the alt-comedy superstar now belongs to grade schoolers who only know him from the “Kung Fu Panda” movies.

That’s partially due to the blockbusters that came out during this same period last year including “Dune: Part Two,” which grossed $82.5 million in its opening weekend, and the animated “Kung Fu Panda 4,” which opened to nearly $58 million.

Also to Mexico, and a Korean martial arts school pulled straight out of some old Shaw Brothers kung fu movie, which doesn’t make sense culturally, but consider what we’re discussing.
