Puss in Boots 2 || DEATH 

Puss: You are no bounty hunter. You are... Death: Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way. Im Death. Straight. Up. Coolest animated villain I’ve ever seen.

He’s exactly what a children’s cautionary tale is. He isn’t going after Puss to be a villain who wants to kill the good guy, he’s going after puss because Puss can’t seem to grasp onto the value of his own life, his last life. Which is exactly what’s the core value of scary nursery rhymes or stories. There’s stories that parents teach their children in order to prevent wrongdoings, such as not staying out late alone or to not poke a bear with a stick (which is also a joke in the movie, hehe). In a sense, he’s like saw where he demands Puss to appreciate life more.

The cool thing about Death is that he OOZES intimidation. Every time he's on screen the atmosphere immediately changes to a dark and ominous tone. Another thing I love about him is that since he's the very embodiment of Death; in the end he will always win. Doesn't matter who you are and what you've done, Death will always win. Which is why you never see him worried, or in a hurry. In my opinion it makes this character one of if not THE coolest villain DreamWorks has ever made.

Whoever wrote this character is a genius. All the little touches, the whistling, the change of style of animation, the mystery... So wonderfully executed.

I love how Death didn't get ended by some stupid magic, I at first thought he would die in that fire magic of the star, but when he just walked through it, I was happy, a cool villain doesn't suffer a stupid end, instead he is shown to be honorable when he sees Puss has learnt to appreciate his life he was given.

This is a brilliant concept. Having death itself taking on the form of a wolf as the antithesis to Puss is such a great idea, that because Puss has 9 lives, that would offend someone like death itself that it can't claim him. For a cartoon with a U rating, this is some deep storytelling.

"The souls swirl and writhe. I now know the truth of mortals: all paths lead to death... whatever their struggles, whatever their triumphs, they die. That is Wisdom." This version of Death in this movie is just top tier. He's so menacing and otherworldly, but at the same time grounded. He's been cheated and disrespected by Puss. And that's all he desired in the end, respect of him and the reality of him. It isn't that he desires validation, he demands it. He's not a child throwing a tantrum or a villain who is evil for evil's sake. He is Death. Straight up.

They did such an incredible job portraying death. He actually scared me as well! That whistle and the glowing red eyes, seriously dreamworks that was a 10/10 to send shivers down the audience's spine as well.

“And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life.”

everyone thinks they can defeat death face to face, yet the dead is the evidence that no one has ever escaped death

2:00 such a good touch Death says “corre corre gatito” which means “run, run, little cat”.

2:37 great paralelism between Puss being in the reflection of the scythe on the first fight and wolf being the one in the reflection in the last fight, where puss was the one in command then, good catch, hadn't noticed

The fact Death acknowledged Puss and Boots at the ending gave me so much respect towards him. Instead of killing him, he let him slide after he Puss and Boots already learnt

You have NO IDEA how hard my jaw dropped when you zoomed in on him during the giant fight.

Disney and Pixar characters are facing puberty meanwhile Dreamworks has a cat facing death

Seeing puss have a literal and strangely accurate panic attack the first time he encounters REAL death was actually menacing. Definitely made me feel like there was real consiquence. Especially because everyone knows Death never loses.

I like how editor combined the line "You did't notice me" with the visual where people really do not notice wolf in the crowd. Brilliant

I love how when Puss first encounters Death, his fighting is more performative while in the last fight he really gives his all and fights with everything he has. He is fighting for his life, not to out on a show, brag or be praised.

Finally, they managed to do what Disney lost long ago - make a deeply haunting yet beautiful villain, a mesmerizing character. I've been waiting for something like this for years.

1:42 His delivery of this line was premium!

Everybody: "this year can't get any worse." "Slow whistling"

1:50 "You're not living up to the legend" ouch!!

Woah, I would've slept on this film if not for this, there was some really cool animation in this! Also nice edit!

whoever worked on creating Death deserves a serious pay bonus. I would love a solo movie of him

2:15 that frame is something else. This character absolutely steals the show.

Love how we're introduced to Death with a whistle, we have no idea who he is or that he's a threat similar to Puss not knowing he's staring in the face of Death until he draws blood. Then the whistle turns darker, we know what it means and we're scared because we feel Puss' fear, we are anticipating another encounter, looking over our shoulders with anxiousness and when we see Death it's chilling. But then the ending where he's leaving with a whistle, it's lighter, less threatening almost pleasant like when he's first introduced. Now the whistle holds understanding just like Puss understands he isn't immortal and that life is precious, he also understands and accepts Death, and Death leaves as an equal and not his enemy/tormentor. Also I just noticed but at 2:37 we see Puss's eyes reflected in Death's sickles because he fights not knowing who Death is but he's afraid because he's being bested in combat. But at 2:38 we see Death's eyes reflected in his sickles showing that Puss must overcome his fear but also understands that he is facing death itself. It's a subtle but nice touch in his development throughout the movie. Just like when Death stares at Puss's eyes but no longer sees arrogance and ignorance in them

Love the little nods to how Death is represented... the grim wolf, coins over the eyes, sickles as weapons... even the whistling is on point. Literal walking death.

0:54 Just realized the cracks is in the shape of a wolf's top skull.

You did such an excellent job on this fan edit. Felt a shiver go up my spine with that whistle and I really love the symbolism at 0:07 with the coins over both eyes in combination with the universal "I'm keeping my eyes on you" from Death.

"I was there to witness all of them",and he was actually there during all of puss in boots death,such a well written and creepily cool character .

The coins for eyes is such an amazing detail. The whole concept of Death in this movie is just incredible

I'm glad people like the character so much. I thought I was the only one who appreciated how well designed he is. Happy to see people appreciate a good design no matter the format.

What I like here is that the lesson is not, you should accept death, or you should fear it, but what makes death important and scary is the same thing, the live you live and fighting for it in the face of death is what is really important. Death will at one point win but fighting it until you lose is important, because the live you live is always worth it.

“Death comes any moment when you least expect it”

Death is definitely one of the coolest Dreamwork villains.

DreamWorks never disappoints their antagonists backstory or character

Win or lose, you can't escape death

2:25 the music fit so perfecty I thougth it was rly from the movie, keep it up buddy thats awesome !

Best edit I have seen yet. The voice lines and the music is really it's own kind and transports the story so flawlessly! Great job mate!

Mephisto’s Lullaby is one of my favorite songs, and this perfectly fits with one of my favorite movies

I really hope this means we're going to continue to get more well made animated movies, I'm sick of disneys 3d animation, I want something with style and character. Spider-verse really made a mark on the industry and I hope it lasts

I really appreciate you using every last bit of Death from the footage. It's tough to make a compilation with so few scenes of a character but you made every shot count in tight delivery that sets it apart from any other edit I've seen. Really hoping to see more of Death in the future with more scenes and shots for editors like you to work with. Great work!

This video, as someone who didn't care about puss in boots, actually makes me want to watch the movie. Damn.

I think we can all agree, that death isn’t the bad guy, he was just mad that Puss never appreciated his lives, because in the DreamWorks universe, Cats have 9 lives, where others only have 1. Death isn’t the villain, he’s an example that we should try to live our life with good choices, and to live it to the fullest.

I like that his weapon is still a tool for harvest similar to the large sickle

This guy I bet got a very big pay check for this performance

1:23 smooth weapon change 😮

I love the ending we got. While Puss have the upper hand in the last fight. He knows he can't won, not against the being in front of him. Against a literal concept that has taken even the mightiest of warriors. A being who existed since the beginning of time. He cannot win against that and he acknowledges that. He even acknowledge that they WILL meet again. Because no one could escape death.

“Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.”

2:07 Arcturus song

This video amplifies a lot the best sides of "Puss in boots: The Last Wish" And a song is a 1000% match Directing is brilliant, thank you for this!

The character design is beautiful, but I love the way Death's leitmotif is used. It gets used a few times to strike fear in the audience, but the scene where he reveals who he is doesn't use it. When I was watching that scene, I was listening for the leitmotif, and didn't expect him to show up so suddenly.

*"I am Death.* *Straight.* *Up."* Gives me chills hearing that!

I never thought a whistle could scare me so much just to hear it.

Death is such an interesting antagonist. At first, he seems to be like what most people think of him: absolutely terrifying, unpredictable, cruel, and sadistic. But in the end, Death is just a natural force doing his job. And all he wants is people appreciating the life they have and show him some respect.

Best edit of death ! The build up is amazing

Death Wolf: [revealing himself from the shadows] "FEAR!!! Sorry to crash the party with your past lives, or your past deaths, as I like to call them. I was there to witness all of them. Each. Frivolous. End. But you... didn't even notice me, because "Puss in Boots laughs in the face of Death", right? But you're not laughing now." Puss in Boots: [shocked/horrified upon realizing the mysterious Wolf's identity] "You are no bounty hunter. You are..." Death Wolf: [revealing his true name] "Death. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or any other fancy way. I'M DEATH. STRAIGHT. UP. And I have come for you, Puss in Boots." Puss in Boots: "B-But... I'm still alive..." Death Wolf: [chuckles sinisterly while showing his complete distaste for Cats, as well as the real reason as to why he want's to kill Puss in Boots] "You know, I'm not a cat person. I find the very idea of nine lives ABSURD!" (points a sickle at Puss, glaring at him) "And you didn't value any of them. Sooo, why don’t I do us both a favor, and take this last one, now?" Puss' 2nd Life: "That's cheating!" Death Wolf: [throws a sickle behind him into that Puss' crystal] "Shh, don't tell." [the crystal shatters] Puss's 1st Life: [shouting before being shattered] "Run, Puss in Boots! Make the wish!" Death Wolf: [before chasing Puss in Boots] "Go ahead, run for it. Makes it more fun for me." [while chasing/attempting to catch/kill Puss in Boots] "Run................................... Run ................................. RUN!!!"

“Death can have me… when it earns me.”

Best edit I’ve seen of this movie! Great job!

This whole movie was Puss's redemption. From the narrative's perspective, Death serves as a catalyst for Puss's change of heart. In the end, he truly became a fearless hero and a legend, battling with Death himself.

Gotta say, i've seen so many Death edits.. but this takes the 👑

This is a perfect edit. You need much more views.❤

ok but can we talk about how AMAZING this edit is???

One of the scariest villains I've ever seen being voiced by a talented Brazilian actor, that's a really cool fact.

i absolutely loved how the video almost portraits him like a new character cinematic in a triple a game, very very VERY well made

So far the scariest kids animated movie villain ever

Great edit - loved to revisit all these moments after watching the movie

Yoooo this edit is absolute fire! Great job!

Such a simple yet ingenious and effective design. Easily one of the best portrayals of Death in all of fiction.

Here is it. The single one best edit of Death. Goosebumps.

i love this movie and this is the best edit for his character that i have seen so far! This movie is easily got the best villain in the wolf that an animated movie could possibly create, so well written and terrifying!

Wow, just a brilliant beautiful job. This is one of the best edits I've seen. There is no pretentious music, to the rhythm of which cuts occur (and often this music does not even fit).

all im gonna say is that the wolf's weapon (or should i say weaponS?) of choice is very interesting

The reason he never tries to run after puss is because sooner or later death comes for all of us

Bro just dropped the best Edit of all the Edits there are! Just fire Bro

this is one of the best Death edits I have seen

Now I HAVE to see this series!! THIS WAS SO INTENSE!!

Alright, death for me is in the same ball park as Gaunter Od Dimm, creepy yet cool theme, inevitable and calm, collected and calculating. Yet can flex wherever need to be, Death dodging Puss strikes saying, Slow, Sappy and Sad while Gaunter just stops time. Come to think of it Death doesn't even have the courtesy of stopping time. It's just the pure fact that he is inevitable is what puts him up there as a villain.

The best edit of death from this film of all I've ever seen on YT

Death is the only character to have his own sound affect more fitting as background music in any of his scenes than any other sound ever.

Your editing is God tier I hope you get hired as a professional someday! We'll done.

Easily my top tier, favorite, villain of any and all villains I've ever bore(?) witness to:) Gonna go see this movie again because it was good, but also because of Death!!!!

its is actually one of the best villians ever made. And i mean it. He cant lose, he can be defeated, he is the only truth to us all. And you can feel that just with that music. The edit show it so good aswell. Congrats dude

This is really well done I love death as antagonist ❤

this edit is so under rated

Anyone else notice that his whistle changes octave after letting Puss go? Like he was a little happier?

Moral of the story: death only comes easy to those who embrace it and respect it. Or if they win an anime fight against it.

Nicely put together

0:19 I thought he was going to say "Saucy Jack" 💀 I think i've watched to much Revengeance Memes

I loved the wolf soooo much, such a truly epic character. With the wistle and everything.God I wish we see him again one day haha

This is the best visual example of what it feels like to live with depression. This dark pure evil feeling that is always lurking in the background while you are out there trying to live your live in the best and happiest way possible. This feeling is always on the hunt and sooner or later, everyday or once every while just catches up with you. No matter how fast you run or how mentally at peace or prepared you are…but we always pick it up…keep picking it up, stay strong

Very nicely put together, buttery smooth

He's Brazilian so I have to say this.. "I see... You deny your lives its purpose!!"

Great job👍

such a good edit well done

This edit goes too hard, well done :D

Death kinda reminds me of Benicio Del Toro’s character from Sicario and I’m here for it.

An unexpected but not unwelcome edit

Love the edit, I really thought it was a trailer at first 😭

He is Death... But Shrek is Love and Shrek is Life And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any other fancy way. SHREK IS LOVE. SHREK IS LIFE
