Okay but i thought about this for abit and can’t help find the tragedy in shifu being a better parent yet dooming his son worse than celine did to rumi.
Celine focused on facts over feelings due to how she saw rumi as a potential threat, which of course is bad but what i also think that kinda saved their entire world. We saw how rumi demon voice can damage the honmoon, showing that celine had a right to worry about her demon side. She most likely focused way more on rumi having good morals to prevent her from attacking anyone.
Which most likely ended up pushing Rumi to this idea of finding a different way of protecting people since she likely had that ingrained into her morals from an early childhood. Remember rumi has a rather isolated childhood so any moral foundation she has came directly from celine.
Meanwhile, Shifu loved Tai Lung unconditionally to the point he didn’t even consider tai lung might not become the dragon warrior due to flaws he didn’t see or didn’t consider a big deal cause shifu loved tai lung so much.
Which led to tai lung becoming a murderer and being locked up in prison for, what was supposed to be his entire life. Since he was raised with the idea he was supposed to be the dragon warrior, and when he didn’t, his entire identity got shattered. Leading to the biggest crash out the town has ever seen.
Shifu was the better parent, but celine was a better mentor, and it shows in how their children turned out.
