Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Is Actually Amazing!!! 

Sympathetic would be Goldi and the bears AND Death. You clearly understand that he is fed up with Puss and his I-don’t-give-a-shit attitude towards dying.

I divide them as the: -Sympathetic antagonist that you can understand and even in moments root for. -Pure evil antagonist that is willing to burn the world in order to get what he wants. -Antagonist that works more as a force of chaos and nature, one that cannot be reason with.

@@HoradeFidges well said.

Antihero Evil Force of nature

This is how I think of them: Comededic pure evil Understandable sympathetic Absolutely terrifyingly god tier of badass ( I know who you know I’m talking about)

I love him so much, they knew what they were doing with villains in this movie

Jack was “BASED”

Death is "evil" only in the implication of his existence for others, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears are just in a certain kind of family business together lol. Jack Horner is ACTUALLY evil - like, he RELISHES choosing himself over others every time, no matter the consequences.

I think that gives him an important role in the movie and makes all the other characters shine even more. He really acts as a foil to the others, and I think the movie would not be the same without him at all.

Your wish is terrible. YoUr TeRrIbLe

I think what makes it great is that it's purely a psychological perspective. They could have easily made Death the character look like a generic Grim Reaper with a scythe to make it super obvious to the kids what he's about, but because the film deep dives into Puss's flaws as a character specifically they instead show it as something Puss himself would fear the most dying to: the deadliest predator to smaller animals and the only bounty hunter that looks capable of bringing down the ideal hero Puss in Boots.

It’s amazing what can happen when animation is… animated.

He's called El Gato, señor. This ain't Sabrina

A cat with boots

@@islandboy9381 that's what makes Death's design so much more amazing. Death can literally be anything, it can take the shape of anything and anyone. Whether it be a wolf, lion or anything else Death can come from anywhere at any time as anything.

I don’t know if you can call this foreshadowing, but here’s a nice detail : when he meets Puss, the Wolf says that « everyone thinks they’ll be the one to defeat me, but no one’s escaped me yet ». At first, it sounds like a generic "evil guy" sentence, but with context, you understand that it’s not just a badass line. It’s a fact. No one can escape death. This movie is just brilliant.

@@howdy7455Not to mention him tapping the “Dead” on the “Dead or Alive” portion of the wanted poster, which you would think just hints at him being a ruthless bounty hunter

I re watched the movie in the same scene the doctor says before the scene changes to this one something along the line of "Death comes for us all" so yeah I think the whole scene is meant to be foreshadowing that he is death

@Fea†her Yoooo I was just about to mention, that moment was so fire

Tbh, I thought that death was only an illusion, at first. I thought that Puss just needed to stand up to him and he would disappear. Then things got physical then I realized this was no illusion, and then Death revealed himself. It blew my mind.

I thought they pulled all three of them off well, one with a sympathetic redemption arc, one who is basically neutral evil, and another who is just rotten to the core evil.

Having a few villains make the whole race for the last wish more intresting.

Sympathetic villain/antihero, comedic pure evil villain, and force of nature for the hero to have a conflict with

I was scared shitless when he revealed his identity.

Can't even call Death a villain in my opinion, because he's done nothing evil at all. He is more of an antagonist to antagonise the hero throughout the film, and is an unstoppable force of nature. In my opinion Death is the best Dreamwork antagonist (villains also included into the category as antagonists as their role is to antagonist the hero also), with Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2 and Drago Bludvist from How to Train Your Dragon 2 coming in together as second. The reason being: Death is just straight up terrifying. Death don't even need any schemes or plans or secret weapons like Lord Shen and Drago Bludvist to be powerful. Whenever he comes on screen, you can be sure he dominates the scene, and frankly speaking he is even more dominating and intimidating than Lord Shen and Drago Bludvist. In both Kung Fu Panda 2 and How to Train Your Dragon 2, we both know the heroes actually have a fighting chance, if not can even defeat the villain fair and square but only lost by getting done in by petty schemes. Death on the other hand, dominated the hero one-sidedly and for once we actually see the hero had no chance in hell to win at all, even facing the very real likely possibility of dying. It is like encountering Darth Vader in Star Wars. You hear the heavy mechanical breathing and you just know things are going to go bad for the heroes and they are no longer in control of the situation. And the only thing they can do is try to escape and survive.

Not terrifying, he’s sexy.

Oh my God. That is genius

I’ve seen other comments from people that have been adopted and really relating to Goldie. That sense of wondering if you actually belong in the family that adopted them. I hope you have support in your family like Puss does for your anxiety. May your 2023 be just right.

@@Musingsofawitch Oh yeah. My fiance is understanding of that sort of stuff herself.

Yea

Death is the worst feeling he's just a stupid dumb wolf I have a picture of him and I'm about to rip them up because Albert Wesker is better that dumb death wolf is just another one out of one villain not even my favorite so dumb I hate that dumb wolf I'm going to even kill him in my horror series

F*** the dumb wolf in the movie the worst feeling ever grow the f****** who cares about death the wolf the worst villain ever sheesh I even know why people compare him to be a good villain they're just ripping off Albert from resident evil who is way better than that stupid dumb wolf

Into the spiderverse look

I've never seen such a hyped up generic-ass looking character before. 🤷‍♀

We all get scared sometimes.

Out of the protagonists, Perrito would have to be my favourite, but Kitty and Puss are both amazing in their own right and are following very closely. Out of the antagonists, it's a very similar situation, but I'll also have to pick Death as not only my favourite one in the movie but nearly out of ALL movies, Dreamworks, Disney, whatever else.

Puss bleeding was probably the biggest surprise for me. Thought it would cut to some joke like tomato soup dripping from the table into his forehead, but no, that scene was 100% serious, and I love that

@@HoradeFidges Especially since blood is usually not done in a kids movie (even though personally I think this is suited as much or even more for teens and adults to understand the movie) The last time DreamWorks put blood in a movie was the prince of Egypt, no one has ever bled in the Shrek franchise before. They even make this stronger by the opening song (which some people find the most useless part of the movie, but was actually usefull to show his arrogance) in which they put knives around his head on the table and sing that he has never been cut or even had a scratch before. And then this villain shows up and scratches him within 5 minutes This just added to the surprise factor in my opinion.

He's not even a villain as much as he is Puss's personal antagonist. Jack Horner plays the traditional villain role. I mean, is Death even evil in this film? I would argue no. He's just fed up with Puss's hubris.

Death is one of my favorite DreamWorks villains of all time!

The candles going out in the bar when he first appears The two gold on his eyes after they rob jack Him pointing to dead on the poster when handing it to puss Him claiming everyone thought they could beat him but no one has Him not appearing on the map like everyone else but being in the forest Him only appearing in puss life again when he puts his life on the line and not when he was chilling with the grandma No one seeing him at first but puss Etc etc great villain

He is on par with the Kung Fu Panda villains and the HTTYD villains (except for Grimmel of course). He has the scariness that is found with the Red Death and Drago, but you can understand him, like Tai Lung or Kai or Shen.

Yeh i heard it foema yourber before so whej i watche dit i didnt even know tiw as supposed to be a suprise lol

I hope so too. But considering their second to next scheduled film is Trolls 3, it might not be continuous.

@@DanGamingFan2846 Imagine Trolls 3 being as good as Puss in Boots 2. That’s gonna be insane 😅

This is a dream 🤣. But after Trolls 3, Dreamworks will make Wallace and Gromit 2, Chicken Run 2, and Kung fu Panda 4. 3 movies who could be, and probabely will be 3 masterclass.

@@comicalcosmonaut959 Yeah, Imagine that.

I doubt they’d release Chicken Run 2 after people waited 23 years for it lmao. 😂

Damn I didn't realize The bad guys is from dreamworks. They been releasing good movie recently. Hopefully the upcoming movies from them wont suck especially Shrek 5 and Kung fu panda 4

@@darkfrozen4427 If those two suck, which I'm pretty worried about nonetheless, my opinion of Dreamworks certainly won't change until they start pumping out 6 and 5 as clearly a major cashgrab at that point with that kind of bad quality, but I will certainly be very salty. Right now, though, Dreamworks is my favourite studio out of them all and has been for quite a while.

Pardon me for sounding like a bit of a smart-ass, but in my opinion Death is more like Wepwawet as far as appearance goes. Wepwawet is very similar in appearance to Anubis except he's grey and more of a war god.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wepwawet

@Fea†her yeah, BUT, you know he’s death when he legit walked through pure energy that completly evicirated the last of the bakers dozen, he just casually walked through

He was so menacing. Only the HTTYD and KFP villains could match it. Lord Shen and Drago, I don’t need to explain. The Red Death, Kai and Tai Lung are incredibly scary for their insanity as well and even more, their actions. Grimmel is a bit scary with his goals but definitely the least intimidating. But this guy, HE BEATS ALL OF THEM. Kids would have nightmares from him and his eyes, especially since he can’t even be killed by a wishing star wall.

Thank you for the translation, was wondering what he said 😆

Yes, a thing I liked in both puss in boots movies was how they toned down all of the pop culture references, which could really become stale after all. While there are certainly anachronisms and the such, it's actually pretty believable it happens in a timeless fairy tale world

To be fair, putting Lightyear to shame is not a big achievement

Also something I haven’t heard a lot of people talking about is that the music of the film is so good. Having puss’s and the giants actions match up with the music in that first fight was awesome to see. The tension and tone was carried well and I’ve got myself stuck humming fearless hero

💯

Not every villain needs to be complex or deep. Don't get me wrong I love deep villains, but I can never say no to a good written evil villain. It's that combination of ego and flamboyant that you can't help but respect. You may hate them, but you love to hate them.

@@valentinkambushev4968 exactly!

Necessary chaos. Sometimes you don't need more complexity than that.

That panic attack scene was just very relatable for me, on top of my dog or cat coming to comfort me.

@@tomachu7899 as someone that has a reduced lung capacity due to scoliosis, if that heart beating lasted 10 seconds longer, I would've fainted for sure.

True but his back story is so sar

The angry line at the end Death says in Spanish was something like "Why the hell did I play with my food?!", as in Death absolutely let Puss go every time for the fun of it. If he really wanted to he could have killed Puss instantly, he just enjoyed inflicting fear upon him.

It's literary DEATH with a Fursona. He said so himself loud and clear! No for real this is the third time that I seen a NEW anthro wolf character in a cartoon movie/TV within a year. Two of which is JUST NAMED WOLF from The Bad Guys and We Baby Bears. I'm losing my fucking mind here and I'm not attracted to those wolfs at all and don't find them to be sexy without their clothes on! I'm losing my fucking mind here and I am just praying that I don't see another anthro wolf again or I will lose my sanity entirely! *THEY WILL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE OR DEAD! I'M STRONG!*
