Puss in Boots The Last Wish is SO GOOD! It's got amazing characters, a great plot, mature themes and messages about Puss in Boots struggling with anxiety, fear, and the thought of death, but one of the best parts of Puss in Boots 2 is that it somehow crafted perfect villains. These villains are Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Big Jack Horner, and Death. I talk here about why Puss in Boots' first encounter with the wolf/death is a perfect scene, and is the best scene in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, the heartwarming message with Goldilocks and the three bears and the hilarious threat that Jack Horner poses. This video is about how Puss in Boots 2 Crafted Perfect Villains.

    You don't need a 10 minute video to explain why Jack Horner is a great villain. You just need one line. "You're not gonna shoot a puppy, are you Jack?" "Yeah, in the face. Why?"
  • The villains cover the 3 types of antagonist, the sympathetic one, the unstoppable force, and pure evil

    In the bit where Death starts cursing in Spanish, he actually says “Why the hell did I play with my food?!!??” As funny as it is, it’s actually really terrifying to think about. Death could have ended Puss in a instant at their first encounter with each other. But he didn’t. And not because Puss successfully got away, but because Death simply wanted to have some fun.

    I think it's genius how they made Jack and Goldie be comical villains so Lobo could keep the threatening edge to him. It's a nice balance, a hilarious pure evil villain, a funny but secretly emotional antagonist and then a serious and scary antagonist. And it is certainly a nice contrast with the rest of the villains in the entire franchise, who all tend to be comical even when they have their threatening moments

    Also, a correction: Death never says he's a bounty hunter. Puss saw the poster and assumed that all on his own.
  • I see, so this is why Velma had to exist. The Universe needed to balance out the perfection that is this movie.

    I just LOVE how well Death is written. Like, he's seriously annoyed by Puss' arrogance, and wants to put him in his place, and yet, when Puss becomes humble and changes himself, death itself shows humility, and puts his vengeance aside, content knowing that Puss grew in personality from all of this. Death itself, being capable of humility is just insane and amazing to me
  • @binkyboy448
    John Mulaney himself confirmed that even if Jack Horner got his wish, it wouldn't have been enough to make him happy, because no one who craves everything can ever be happy. So not only is he a perfect funny villain, he also works as a perfect thematic foil to the movie's message: to make your happiness in what little time you have. I have no problem with the movie making him the final boss after Death because of this.

    While it's disappointing that Disney have drifted away from giving us memorable baddies, it's nice to know that studios like Dreamworks are more than willing to pick up the slack 😊
  • @derynkiwi291
    I heard people say death should've had more screen time but actually the amount was perfect because we didn't know when to expect him and it worked so well
  • One detail that I love is that when the wolf is walking away for the final time, his whistle has changed key. As such the whistle no longer sounds eerie and terrifying, but sounds more peaceful and positive.
  • Jack Horner is just magical Nicocado Avocado, and you can't change my mind
  • @inotetsu7656
    There were only like 5 scenes with death, he was on screen for maybe 15 minutes all together. This shows how great of a character he is, that in those 15 minutes how much of an impact he had on the audience.
  • @nickd6303
    When it comes to personifying death it's easy to not do it right, but for this movie, they nailed hands down.
  • Just narrowing the scope here, the wolf's "coin over eyes" mixed with "I see you" gesture, interrupting Puss's brief return to revelry and careless abandon is genuinely one of the most badass villain moments in film history.
  • @Soparandom
    Jack is the Villain Goldilocks is an anti villian turned hero Death is an Antagonist Very different roles which was played very well. TY for the correction
  • The wolf is genuinely terrifying. A hooded dual sickle wielding murdering hunter. The fact that no one has escaped him just adds to that. Just hearing him whistling is enough to make someone have a panic attack. If this isn’t the most dread inducing Dreamworks character ever than I don’t know what is.
  • @rockkiller124
    This movie is a masterpiece, and it was all thanks to these 3 villains
  • @SnowWolfAlpha
    I love Death's pettiness as well. He knows Puss isn't dead yet but doesn't care because of the previous 8 times he's been cheated.
