10 New Legend Characters That Got Completely Wasted

One of the biggest complaints about Alex The Owl's New Legend Reboot franchise is that a lot of characters get introduced, but then completely fade away before we can care about them. In other case, some characters that are lucky enough to stick around for a long period of time are used in complete dumb ways which does no good to the overall story. We're here to count down 10 New Legend Reboot characters that Alex The Owl completely wasted despite their potential:

#10: Mei Ling (New Legend Reboot version)

While the relationship between Neyo and the Mei Ling from the "Phoenix of Yin, Dragon of Yang" world was pretty interesting, we can't really say the one from the New Legend Reboot was the same. She only appeared in one chapter and then completely disappeared. She wasn't even present in the final battle despite Shifu clearly calling for all of China's greatest warriors. the author could have at the very least showed an interaction between her and Neyo.

#9: The Elemental Five

When the group consisting of Kasaiori, Mizufusen, Tanchi, Yang and Tongo Tonga was first introduced, it felt like they would be a major new add to the story. But then, as time passed by, the Five slowly faded further and further into the background. They had a major match against the Furious Five and even accompanied the New Legend members as they went into their respective adventure (some even thought Yang was going to play a big role sooner or later). But after that, they never did anything noticeable.

#8: The Four Warriors

Toka's Story left a lot of unanswered questions. One of the biggest ones being the Six Warriors mystery. Master Yoshi told Tigress that there would be four other warriors like Po and Toka that would fight at their side. However, nothing came out of this prophecy and we never hear about it again. A lot of hype for nothing.

#7: Viper, Crane, and Monkey

The author has never been really good at handling the normal characters in KFP. Those three are a perfect example of it. While Po and Tigress had a sub-plot together and Mantis did a lot of contributions to Alena's story, Monkey never did a lot outside of getting the Trance form from Kaiba (in the process building a friendship that didn't led to anything) and Crane and Viper just got together out of nowhere. So yeah, bad handling.

#6: Pan Mei's group

While Xie Zhen was definitely one of the best villains in the franchise, the same can't really be said about the rest of the group he allied with. They all come out of nowhere and end up dying before we can learn more about them. At least some foreshadowing of their presence or some development would have helped up. Tatara and Ahulani ends up showing and turning good at the end, but the damage has already been done and the scars are too deep.

#5: Atrocius

After defeating Critica and learning that Fenghuang from Karasu's world got imprisoned in Chor Ghom for no reason, Koji gets so mad that he unlocks the power of yet another demon: Atrocius the demon of hate. What makes this character wasted is that Koji only gets his powers when he gets really mad, but except that, we never learn more about him unlike Cong Wo who got a deep relationship with Koji. Have he got some screen time, he wouldn't have be putted on this list.

#4: Tamaya

The self-proclaimed creator of fireworks, Tamaya is one of those characters with all the potential in the world who never got to use it. Seriously, the way this character was introduced hinted that he could add a lot to the New Legend world, should he be used correctly. Sadly, he only shows up for Alena's story and for the final battle, but then we never hear about him again. too bad.

#3: Surodoi Kaze

The Spirit Realm Army (more on that later) was filled with interesting characters, but the one that stood out the most was without a doubt the Disciple #3 Surdoi Kaze. Not because of her beautiful physic, but she had ways of thinking that didn't got along Lord Zhan Ju's, her leader, point of view. This led her to be ultimately betrayed by her him and then saved by the heroes before fading into the world. Ironically, she was supposed to play a major role in the now deleted third season. Surodoi Kaze, a good character, but not developed enough.

#2: Aton

Upon leaving on their adventures, the New Legend met a lot of special characters who ended up being their friends. The most memorable one was the Egyptian raven Medjay, Aton. Suya met and ended up teaming up with him to take down the then Pharaon. While he also did took part in the final battle, the fans couldn't help but feel his character was underused. They felt he didn't had enough character exposure with some even going as far as saying he should have become a part of the New Legend, becoming their sixth member.

#1: The Spirit Realm Army

The biggest problem with the New Legend Reboot franchise was undoubtedly the villains. While some like Xie Zhen and Kaiba were well-developed, most of the others were just there for the sake of causing trouble to our heroes and ultimately be beaten by them. The whole SRA falls into that category. they were super hyped, they defeated the contenders at the second Power Struggle Tournament, one of them killed Koji, and even Master Oogway recognized the danger they represented. But then, the final battle came and they all got took down one-by-one in rather forgettable ways. What's sad is that had the author took the time to develop them, they could have been the equivalent to Naruto's Akatsuki. But no. Only wasted potential.

Yeah, it's sad to see how many characters I wasted.

However, if you want positive news, the Kung Fu Panda world will be a part of my big story "The Dynamic Adventure". And so, I could give some of those characters a second chance. What do you think?

Also, dishonorable mentions: the second panda village characters, Imperial Ten, and Master Yoshi (seriously, I feel like I didn't gave him enough screen time).
