History ShoutOut / ADifferentLesson

* Chapter 37: The cleansing of the Sacred Pool, in a meta ContinuityNod ShoutOut, parallels ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' as well, since it uses imagery quite similar to the Sprite's restoration of the land in ''WesternAnimation/Fantasia2000'''s "Firebird Suite". It also incorporates references to Yuna's first sending in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' and Jean Grey healing the M'Kraan Crystal in ''WesternAnimation/XMen''.

* Chapter 26: ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' gets its first direct reference (other than the Sisters' being {{Exp|y}}ies of Ozai's Angels) when Po compares Tai Lung's inability to use Fire chi to Zuko's loss of his firebending. "Maybe your problem's that ya don't have anythin' t' really focus it on, y'know? For the longest time, ya had nothin' t' think about but the fact ya got denied the Dragon Scroll. Now ya don't have that anymore, so your anger got…scattered. Ya gotta pull it back together, aim it at somethin', before ya can channel it down an' burn it up in the fire." ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' is referenced when Tai Lung tells the tale of how he made Shifu look bad to the Imperial functionary (that the red panda smacked him around every day "with stone blocks"); the functionary himself is also a reference to Chi Fu from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' (he makes a shouted demand that the Jade Palace owed him a new set of court robes).

* Chapter 24: So many! When Mantis is spying on Tigress and Tai Lung conversing, he thinks to himself (in reference to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'') "pay no attention to the bug behind the silkscreen!" Kell and Tyria's talk from the ''[[Literature/XWingSeries Wraith Squadron]]'' series appears again, this time when she asks him how much he thinks of her (and if she's wearing clothes in his daydreams). Viper, when telling Tai Lung not to tell Tigress he thinks of her naked, references ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'' ("When someone asks you X, you say..."). [[Literature/TheBelgariad David Eddings' "Polgara the Sorceress"]] is referenced when Viper tells Tai Lung no woman wants to contemplate "incipient thinghood". Tai Lung quotes Sister Mary Clarence from ''Film/SisterAct'' ("This is never going to work, I am not going to get this—it's a little too complicated for me"). ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' is referenced when Viper, while roleplaying as Tigress, apes Dona ("Touch me with that paw, and I'll remove it"). And ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' is referenced when Vachir echoes Hoggle's thoughts after the latter gave Sarah the magic peach ("Damn you, Chao! Damn you, Tai Lung! And damn me, too…").

* Chapter 39: A line from Phoebus in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' is quoted ("Why is it," Tai Lung said between gritted teeth, "whenever you're around, I end up bleeding?"), while the snow leopard also quotes ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' when Po agrees not to try and use the Wuxi Finger Hold on Chao ("And there was much rejoicing"). Mei Ling's accusation that Chun is "just a big blah" mirrors Zuko saying the same thing to Mai in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.

* Chapter 38: Shifu's search for information on Heian Chao in the Jade Palace scroll room references Gandalf searching Minas Tirith for information on the Ring in ''Film/TheFellowshipOfTheRing''. Ochir is another reference to ''Fanfic/MemoirsOfAMaster'' while Chao's murder of the young kung fu trainees is a clear parallel to Anakin Skywalker doing the same at the Jedi Temple in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.

* Chapter 40: The description of the Vault of Heroes has echoes of both Dwarrowdelf in ''Film/TheFellowshipOfTheRing'' and Old Ba Sing Se in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', while many of the masters depicted in the statuary are references to ''FanFic/MemoirsOfAMaster''.

* Chapter 16: Tigress's cutting deflation of Tai Lung's confession of love for her includes several quotes from Tyria Sarkin doing the same to Kell Tainer in the ''[[ComicBook/XWingSeries Wraith Squadron]]'' series, complete with invoking InLoveWithLove and LovingAShadow.

''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' is referenced when Tai Lung tells the tale of how he made Shifu look bad to the Imperial functionary (that the red panda smacked him around every day "with stone blocks"); the functionary himself is also a reference to Chi Fu from ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'' (he makes a shouted demand that the Jade Palace owed him a new set of court robes).

* Chapter 33: The corruption of the Sacred Pool makes reference to both the Mord Wraiths' poisoning of Heaven's Well in ''[[Literature/{{Shannara}} Wishsong of Shannara]]'', and the demon Chernabog's shadowy takeover of the town to resurrect the dead during ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'''s "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence.
* Chapter 36: Xiu quotes Eris's line "Isn't it a pity we live in such skeptical times?" from ''WesternAnimation/SinbadLegendOfTheSevenSeas''.

You aren't even a player", "you are not prettier than me!", and "it's almost like we're dancing!"), while Viper makes a reference to Tung Shao Pass from ''Disney/{{Mulan}}''.

* Chapter 42: Kong being Monkey's given name is a reference to [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4749175/1/Monkey-In-The-Middle "Monkey in the Middle"]]. At one point Chao quotes Emperor Palpatine from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' ("Poor X. Only now, at the end, do you understand") while Mantis's line to Monkey, "Not like I want to pick out curtains or anything" is a quote from the Genie in ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''.

* Chapter 44: The first names for Tigress and Crane, as well as Consul Chen, are from [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4749175/1/Monkey-In-The-Middle "Monkey in the Middle"]] again. Everyone bowing to Tai Lung after it's revealed he took out Heian Chao and saved the Valley is a reference to the same KneelBeforeFrodo moment in ''Disney/{{Mulan}}''. And the revelation of Emperor Chen's true physique is a shoutout to Jiao Shen of ''FanFic/ThatsWhyTheyCallItThePresent''.

* Chapter 27: Tai Lung wryly compares Tigress to a committee when apologizing for not consulting her on reconciling with Shifu, leading Tigress to respond, just like Leia in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' ("I am not a committee!"). When the two of them indulge in SlapSlapKiss and admit they're aroused by it, there's a near quote of the famous Sam and Diane exchange from ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' ("Are you as turned on as I am?" "As much, probably more.").
* Chapter 29: The abandoned, empty town of Qinghe, along with the creepy message "There is no salvation" (in this case written on the clothing worn by the dead jackal) is a reference to [[https://coolinterestingstuff.com/hoer-verde-the-town-with-600-inhabitants-that-vanished the unexplained mystery of 600 people disappearing from the town of Hoer Verde in Brazil in 1923]]. Meanwhile the dug-up cemetery with all the bodies missing is a reference to the infamous [[https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4371 (posssibly a hoax, possibly not)]] story of [[https://coolinterestingstuff.com/the-strange-mystery-of-lake-anjikuni the abandoned Eskimo village]].

"No, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again."
