Spider: *flees*

Kung Fu Mantis: Why is the boss music still playing?

[jackpcb]

Mantis: Yeah, run away! That's what I thought."
*turns around and realizes why the spider really ran away*

[ortallicafirst]

"Shifu taught you well. But he didn't teach you everything."

[medlariby]

This should earn an academy award, it genuinely made me realize that some animals' lives can be turned into movies.

who else grew a strong bond with that mantis and was genuinely sad at the end.

2:45 Spider; "Duuuude, what is *that* behind you"
Mantis; "I'm not falling for that trick"

[Idiodyssey]

"Mantids will eat anything that moves, including other mantids."
In the business, this is known as foreshadowing.

[TadpoleHappy]

- Mom, are you pround of me?
- NO! * chomping sounds *

[punitthakur]

I think the spider already saw the big mantis, thats why he ran away😅

[Ran_]

Plot twist: The spider was actually trying to warn the Kung Fu mantis about the Orchid Mantis.

[baconandeggs]

He passed the intimidation check, but lord did he fail his perception check

[shinyluckfairy]

“With a bit of Luck, in 2 months time, it will be as Big and Beautiful as this Orchid Mantid”

“Or Maybe Not 🤷”

David Attenborough is a hilarious Narrator 😂

[Ragtimer]

This four-minute video was packed with more personable characters, action, drama, and emotion than most of the movies I have seen in the last 10 years.

Praying mantis trying to look bigger

Spider: dude I saw you 30 seconds

The end of the video made me realize that being a human and going to work everyday isn't so bad after all

[MyBadBro]

I like how much personality the Mantis had, looking around, being self-aware, and doing some kung-fu poses. Sadly it died too soon. It could of became a wise person.

[HasteHollow]

Plot twist: spider was trying to warn Kung fu mantis to not return home.

I have 3 things to say.

1. This is like a horror movie.

2. The camera shots are phenomenal.

3. The narrator and narration is perfect.

[radianzero]

Kung Fu Mantis: Master Shifu, I failed to kill Lucas the spider.

Orchid Mantis: _"So you have chosen... Death."_

[Voxen]

2:23 that shot literally looks like a fight standoff this cameraman is a legend
