The Paws of Destiny: Meet Jindiao, the latest 'Kung Fu Panda' villain will frustrate you with his unmatched evil

Jindiao, whose literal translation means the 'Golden Bird' has nothing golden about him, because he is a wolf in a sheep's clothing

'Kung Fu Panda' series has gone all "Hai Yah" as 'Paws of Destiny' started streaming on Amazon Prime Video on November 16. Not reminiscent of the past 'Kung Fu Panda' franchise, we meet an entire new set of Panda Kun Fu masters in the series and an entire new set of villains. And this time around, unlike the villanous Tai Lung or Kai from the previous installments, Jindiao comes as a feeble villain, pretending to be a weak Buddhist monk, when in fact, he is the vilest of all.

It takes some time to get a taste of how truly evil he is, mainly because he knows what he wants and instead of directly attacking his enemies, he deploys an entire range of minion villains to accomplish his deeds meanwhile pretending to limp and preach as an old, wise, enlightened master in a temple.
