The wolf didn't give up, he lost interest. He literally said that he came out to kill an "arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal". Once he saw that Puss no longer believed that and could accept that he would never win but refused to see that as an issue, is when the wolf no longer had a personal investment to continue. It wasn't fun anymore and he's clearly mad about Puss having grown as a person, but because he was hunting someone different that simply didn't exist anymore, killing Puss anyway would have made no sense. Puss learned his lesson and as such, Death decided to be fair (Puss' past life literally called him out for cheating when he explained why he was after Puss in the first place). I get what you mean but still. Puss did not beat the wolf, the wolf chose to walk away, literally reminding Puss that he will be back. It even makes sense in the "larger than life issue" perspective. Anxiety for example is, as in the film, is much easier to handle when you're not fixated on the fact that you're anxious. That's how the panic happen. You knkw you have anxiety so you can't stop thinking about it, which only makes said anxiety worse because you can't figure out a way to *stop* being anxious. When you're able to accept that it's a problem that you can't just get a magic fix for but can still enjoy your life despite it is when it will stop consuming your entire existence. It will still be there no matter what in some form or another but it won't end up being the source of constant mysery if you confront it with the effort of inner work. You prove yourself capable of respecting and handling the issue and the issue will leave for the time being. I don't think your overall take is wrong, I was just annoyed by this one particular comment of the wolf "giving up".
Well… technically, nobody beats death. The only reason Puss wasn’t killed in the final battle with him is because he chose to let him live.. So, there’s that.
He let him live cause Puss wasn't scared anymore about death,he wanted to really LIVE his life,so he "beat" the death...by living. Is a methaphor. If you are not death you live,is you don't live you're death. Puss "beats" death by living,the point is that if you are not controlled by the fear of death you can live,so the death understand can't take him,cause he still have life.
Yeah, all he wanted the whole movie was for Puss to man up. Give him a wake-up call or end the whole charade. It is probable that the form he showed himself as was just precisely what he thought would be the best form to achieve this and not the "real" one. Death doesn't need to fight, it is just the best medium to make Puss understand, because that is part of his world. We see something similar in countless myths actually, "god" putting an antagonist shaped to the protagonist to let them grow or die
I think the creator of this video took many liberties to get HIS point across. First is this, death being defeated. No he is not, he left and said to return when it actually was Puss' time to die. Second about the name, "nobody remembers his name" , he then makes three "guesses" on what people would say. Then he says they are wrong only to show the information that literally two of them are right and the third not technically being right , even though it is explicitly stated in the movie. My third point, though it is a nitpick, is that Wolf is not a villain. He is an antagonist yes, but he is also a force of nature. You could argue that he breaks the rules and goes for Puss for no reason, but no. The moment Puss stops challenging death by putting stunts, the wolf stops, only to start again when Puss starts the heroics again.
no in the end wolf or death says," i came here for a hero who thinks he is invincible and i don't see him anymore" meaning death wasn't there to kill him but he was there to remind him
He's Death, he literally says this in the movie, he's Death, straight-up, he's no representation how did you miss that? Death itself needs no name though it has plenty of synonyms. The Inevitable End of All Things, The Grim Reaper, Eternal Sleep, etc. And Death is in every frame in the movie from his introduction to his walking away since the fear of either himself or what he stands for in Puss' mind drives his entire plot in the movie.
What I like about the last wish is how it physically separated the external and internal conflict by the villains. Jack Horner is the physical conflict, the hurdle to pass to get the wish. Death is the inner conflict, the progression of Puss's character. If there was only Jack Horner, then the physical conflict would have much less motivation, much less of an emotional core. If we only had Death's progression, then you'd need some other creative way to fill the runtime or the film would become incredibly short or dull. Jack and Death aren't just good villains. They complement each other and combine to be more than the sum of their parts.
I loved Death in this movie. He was fantastic, though I would describe him more as an antagonist than a "villain" since his intentions weren't really evil. This movie was like a diamond in the rough, a good "kids" animated movie which has been in extremely low supply if you don't count anime. But Death was just on another level. The design, the voice acting, his role in the movie. Just fantastic. And yes I like his personality too. I like that he as a representative as is angered by Puss being so careless with his lives because hes essentially mocking the gift he was given, I like how cocky and smug he every time we see him because he knows he is inevitable and will always win in the end. I even like how he tests Puss at the end and then back off because Puss learned his lesson making his pursuit of him meaningless.
@@rafezap Only temporarily. Death had down-powered himself for the joy of the chase. He walked straight through the barrier of The Wishing Star, at any point he could have chosen to give himself more power so he could defeat Puss. Instead, he chose to stay consistent and let Puss go when he realised his mortality without letting it control him. There was no more reason for Death to chase after Puss once Puss had realised that so, he left. If you watch closely you can even see Puss breathe a sigh of relief that he actually got away from that alive. Did you get an F in English interpretation? This is the worst analysis of Death and his interaction with Puss I've ever seen. Utterly surface-level and driven only by what can be seen rather than the metaphorical actions shown in the movie. While Death might be straight-up his interaction with Puss is filled to the brim with metaphors. You being unable to see any of those I charitably interpret as a result of the incompetency in the US education system.
I'm pretty late to this but Puss never beat Death. the sole purpose of death hunting him down in the first place was because "I find the idea of 9 lives ABSURD. And you didn't value ANY of them." (a quote from death) However, towards the end of the fight, Puss states a little how he won't stop fighting for his last life, whereas in the beginning he said that he laughs in the face of death. See the switch up? That's why Death got angry and lost his interest in trying to kill Puss. Also, if he is quite literally Death itself, he CANNOT be defeated. Like the grim reaper!!! Except a wolf because Puss is *deathly* afraid of dogs. haha see what i did there@@rafezap
You inow, for the longest time I couldn't figure out why the wolf had the least screen time but the biggest impact and you just broke it down perfectly. Also, about your remart regsrding Puss beating desth, I don't thini he outright beat him in the physical sense. If he was so intent on killing Puss that even the development Puss goes through wouldn't cause him to relent, he would have killed Puss and theres nothing Puss could do to stop it. Puss is a moetal cat, death is a supernaturao force, able to teleport, and, even in physicsl form, can disregsrd the laws of physics. He eas after the legend, the cocky cat who laughed at his face as he died pointless deaths. That final fight was his final test and he passed. So, after pouting a bit, he leaves Puss to his final life until he either meets his natural end ot something else takes him... Overall, great video! 👌
I think i feel like chiming in that I wouldnt say puss beat the wolf, more that the wolf gave up and only because he didnt get to kill the arrogant hero he first found puss to be
I can't believe Disney's Wish failed when Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was RIGHT THERE. Wish is about somebody granting wishes to literally everybody, and one person saying nah grant them all. Just complaining all the way through about a villain that is actually in the right throughout the entire thing, making her come off as a cry baby. Last Wish is about realising that wishes don't matter, and that what you need is what you already have, or can achieve yourself. Goldi wanted a family, she realised she already had one. Puss wanted more lives, he realised that he has a good one. Jack was greedy, he died. Disney's Wish could have simply made Asha want to grant everyone's wishes, but then realising that no one needs them. You don't need some magic spell to be happy, because you already have what you need.
i heard a theory that since in the song puss says he has never been touched by a blade, that meaning that he have never gotten hit in battle before so death (ik you said the character is named wolf but he is death so whatever) hits him and causes him to bleed for the first time ever, it must be a horrific experience. its like when you bleed for the first ever time as a kid.
From the way I saw it with the wolf leaving puss scene at the climax the wolf only wanted one thing, he wanted to take down puss in boots, the one who doesn’t fear death. The one who wastes his life so easily and doesn’t care. The one who sings about how he laughs in the face of danger. So when the wolf gave puss fear he ran away. He had no idea on how to fight him or how to survive him. And when the wolf finally catches him at where the star is he has a big battle, and as it goes on the wolf tears at puss clothing, knocks his sword away, and in that moment as the wolf is about to kill him puss pulls out kitty softpaw’s dagger, as a way that, he needed help to fight this threat and was able to use something given to him by a friend to help him out. The wolf expected him to keep on running and use the wish to grant him more life. But in that moment puss chose to just keep his one life, and in that moment the wolf realised puss had changed. He no longer saw the cat he’d been trying to hunt down, but instead someone different who would rather cherish his final life rather then waste it and keep on running. So that’s why he walked away. Because he was no longer hunting the famed puss in boots who’d laugh danger in the face, but instead someone who knows of their own immortality and decided to grow up.
I feel like the only reason why puss won is because the wolf is probably only strong when someone's super arrogant and thinks they're above him. That, or it's only because the wolf let puss live after seeing him not running. I feel like the wolf could've killed him a lot faster and quicker if he really wanted to, but he wanted to give puss a chance, and that's why he went a lot easier than he otherwise would've against him.
The Wolf literally is death it walked right through existence erasure and he let Boots go because he wanted Boots scared like when they first"fought" which wasn't the case anymore so he lost interest Boots said he knows he can't beat him no one beats death
People seem to misinterpret the ending of the last wish, death didn't lose the fight, he simply recognized that puss in boots had accepted death as a possibility, no longer being the "arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal" Puss in boots didn't beat death, he accepted life as something precious and to be lived to your greatest extent, whether you live once or 9 times.

Friday Manny's Gone Upon encountering the particular event, precisely at the billionth of a millisecond, my physical being succumbed to the extreme sensation of hilarity, leading to an involuntary action of forcefully extracting my vocal cords, ultimately resulting in my demise.
I don’t agree on the fact that getting scared and having random panic attacks makes you a “loser”. While I do agree it’s best to personify the threat, in a movie to make the story interesting, in real life its possible to experience a stressful situation without an apparent reason and this doesn't make you a loser. So next time maybe chose your words more carefully, other then that nice video.
In many ways he's disaster in a disaster movie he is what everything takes place because of he's the brief case out of Pulp fiction. In fact in many ways he's not the villain he wants Puss to stop taking life for granted he doesn't really want him dead
Still like Death (wOlF) alot more, jack was good but Death was actually terrifying which made him good. If you dont like him as much you dont need to convince other people to not like him.
Is Death or the Wolf his name? Are they both his names? Is one of them a word that people use to refer to him, rather than a name? Are both of them words that people use to refer to him, rather than names? Maybe he doesn't have a name.
I call him the Wolf because that is what it says in the credits. But as a larger idea I understand why people call him Death. In mythology he is supposed to be a shapeshifter, so if he appears again, he might not be a wolf anymore, but some other animal with the same color scheme and the sickles.
@@rafezap Also, in my opinion, while I'd argue that he is the most dangerous villain, he's not the main villain. That's Big Jack Horner. The Wolf/Death isn't really in the movie enough to be the main villain. But, bizarrely, I like that he's not in it a whole lot. Let me explain. I like the fact that the movie doesn't use him that much. He is a looming threat in the background. Not always in the spotlight. Which is a good thing, in my opinion. If he'd been onscreen more, the audience could've have gotten more used to him, which might've made him less scary. Instead, he only shows himself openly every once in a while. Sometimes, so much time passes between his open appearances that you almost forget, or actually do forget, that he's hunting Puss as well. And then he suddenly shows up again, and you're, like, "Holy shit! That's right. He's still after Puss, as well." You're right when you say that we don't much about him. But I don't agree that this makes him a bad character. First of all, I'd argue that characters in general don't need to be well-known to the audience to be good characters. Second of all, scary characters in particular can benefit from being unknown to the audience. The fact that he's unknown makes him mysterious and thus scarier. This is true about a lot of horror villains. They often benefit from not being well-known to the audience. And many of them are considered great and iconic characters. A reason why a lot of horror remakes are considered inferior is because they try to explain the villains' backstories, thus removing the mystery and making them less scary. Remember the old quote: "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." -H.P. Lovecraft. Basically, I think that the very facts that the Wolf/Death is a relatively unknown character and that he only appears in the movie for a short time are some of the reasons why he's such an amazing and terrifying villain.
Part of me hopes that Dreamworks doesn't use Death in anymore movies. I love the character, but I am afraid they're going to milk the character for all it's worth, and were going to lose the mystique, mystery and get sick of him because of overuse.
Your analysis is interesting, but you probably should’ve used a better choice of words when talking about Puss’s panic attacks. As someone who has experienced panic attacks out of nowhere, it was genuinely traumatic for me, and in my opinion, doesn’t make someone a loser.
Puss did not defeat Death. All he did was show Death he was no longer the arrogant little brat he was at the start of the movie... and thus wasn't the same person Death came to claim.
The wolf didn't give up, he lost interest. He literally said that he came out to kill an "arrogant little legend who thought he was immortal". Once he saw that Puss no longer believed that and could accept that he would never win but refused to see that as an issue, is when the wolf no longer had a personal investment to continue. It wasn't fun anymore and he's clearly mad about Puss having grown as a person, but because he was hunting someone different that simply didn't exist anymore, killing Puss anyway would have made no sense.

You prove yourself capable of respecting and handling the issue and the issue will leave for the time being.
I don't think your overall take is wrong, I was just annoyed by this one particular comment of the wolf "giving up".

Jack Horner is best villain.

Wolf serves a purpose.
*BOTH* are needed.

Sorry, but without Wolf/Death Puss has no motivation to find The Last Wish.

honestly whats best about death is his model

They should make a suequal where the wolf comes back cuz i dont think hes just gonna leave like that
I don’t agree on the fact that getting scared and having random panic attacks makes you a “loser”.
While I do agree it’s best to personify the threat, in a movie to make the story interesting, in real life its possible to experience a stressful situation without an apparent reason and this doesn't make you a loser.
So next time maybe chose your words more carefully, other then that nice video.
So glad I've found someone make a video with the same opinion as me
What in your opinion is the best villain/antagonist in any movie or show?
No spoilers
whats the song, i know its from paper mario the origami king but what battle theme exactly
Come on man, Don't say a guy having a panic attack is a loser
In many ways he's disaster in a disaster movie he is what everything takes place because of he's the brief case out of Pulp fiction. In fact in many ways he's not the villain he wants Puss to stop taking life for granted he doesn't really want him dead

Second of all, scary characters in particular can benefit from being unknown to the audience. The fact that he's unknown makes him mysterious and thus scarier. This is true about a lot of horror villains. They often benefit from not being well-known to the audience. And many of them are considered great and iconic characters. A reason why a lot of horror remakes are considered inferior is because they try to explain the villains' backstories, thus removing the mystery and making them less scary. Remember the old quote: "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." -H.P. Lovecraft.
Basically, I think that the very facts that the Wolf/Death is a relatively unknown character and that he only appears in the movie for a short time are some of the reasons why he's such an amazing and terrifying villain.
Part of me hopes that Dreamworks doesn't use Death in anymore movies. I love the character, but I am afraid they're going to milk the character for all it's worth, and were going to lose the mystique, mystery and get sick of him because of overuse.
Well that last comment about puss in boots winning is a bit of a hot take my guy
Balls
Your analysis is interesting, but you probably should’ve used a better choice of words when talking about Puss’s panic attacks. As someone who has experienced panic attacks out of nowhere, it was genuinely traumatic for me, and in my opinion, doesn’t make someone a loser.
Great and hilarious ending screen btw haha it's awful and hilarious 😂
Is Death really a villain tho? Death is a natural thing in life, Death is just doing it’s purpose and following its nature.
His job is to take people to the afterlife. He's trying to take puss' last life because he didn't value the other 8
Grim reaper not death
Puss did not defeat Death. All he did was show Death he was no longer the arrogant little brat he was at the start of the movie... and thus wasn't the same person Death came to claim.
Hi
I’m really disappointed in this analysis, it’s quite surface level. You’ve gotten better since this though
