Convince me to love Shen

I don't dislike Shen. I do like him. But I've never understood why he is so deeply loved. People always talk about how deep his character is but I just don't get it. The soothsayer told him he'd be defeated by a warrior of black and white, he assumes she means a panda, so he murders all the pandas, and his parents banish him. How is that even deep or fascinating? Again, not a bad backstory but it just doesn't click with me. Tai Lung's backstory is 100% deeper and honestly I think Kai's backstory is too (although I may be biased because I freaking love Kai). Other than that Shen is pretty cool, still not the coolest villain ever (both Tai Lung and Kai are much cooler to me).
