I always felt that this was really personal for Death.
He's an unstoppable natural force. He comes for everybody eventually, and there seems very few ways to be immortal. He probably doesn't really care about other characters that constantly avoid dying because he'll get them eventually. And everyone treats him with respect. Or if they don't, it won't be long before they lose their one life.
And then there's Puss. Constantly laughing at Death, doesn't take things seriously, always getting into stupid situations because he's fearless. And he dies, only to get another life. And he doesn't change anything. Each time Puss dies, he's right back to being foolhardy and telling everyone that he laughs in the face of Death. Even being down to his last life doesn't make him wake up. it's not just disrespectful to Death; it's disrespectful to anyone who only has the one life.
So Death goes to meet him. They have a brawl, where Death proves himself Puss's better. He manages to make him bleed. And finally, for the very first time, Puss is afraid. Of Him. He's not charging in like an idiot this time; he runs for his life, like any sane person would. Puss retires and hides at the cat home. And he'd likely stay there until the day he dies.
But then he learns about the Wishing Star. He starts acting like his old self once again. And Death just knows that if he wishes for his nine lives again, he'll never change. Puss will waste them all on pointless stuff again.
This isn't about doing his job. This is about dealing with the loudmouthed braggart who cares about nothing.
Wolf is stoppable as Puss in Boots proved, also there are several Shrek characters who live forever anyway.
No one treats him with respect since nobody knows he is a person.
I don't see how it is disrespectful, he doesn't go around saying "haha I have multiple lives and you're just one, losers".
Wolf is not Puss' better. In bar Puss in Boots was drunk with eight shots of leche which surely affected his performance.
Puss in Boots is right, he is too good to retire and the lap cat life is not meant for him, that's wasn't even a life but a dull existence. That's why he was right to immediately abandon it and go after the wishing star, gambling with his last life and that gamble paid off fully.
This "loudmouthed braggart" is a Hero and a good kindhearted person first. He would not earn himself a hero title if he wasn't genuinely helping people.
Wolf's reasons are far more petty: he did not like to be insulted. And going all sadistic and murderous because of that makes him a bad guy, and like all bad guys he gets beaten by the hero in the end
This villain was awesome. This is the best Grim Reaper to ever be put on film. I want to see a video of Steele from the movie Balto.
Theirs a few factors I think makes for a good Death. Intimidation is one thing, caring about/enjoying his job is another. The only other Death I felt really owned the title was Death from Supernatural. He was absolutely confident cold in his logic and reasoning and a short and cold temper and absolutely confident because he understands that as Death he’s the last one standing no matter what and says that in due time he will even claim the soul of God. His theme song even explains who he is “no wealth, no ruin, no silver or gold, nothing satisfies him but your soul.” He doesn’t want destruction, he doesn’t want paradise, he doesn’t want your money, he wants you.
@@Broomer52 god is immortal
@@zephyr9852 not in the show he wasn’t
@@Broomer52 ah ok, not familiar with Supernatural, but death from the last wish is not doing his job
But why is he so dang overrated?
Well it kinda makes sense that death would take some joy in messing with his targets. Being an unstoppable, immortal force would be a very boring existence and since you can't beat death only delay it, it would be that Death needs to find a way to entertain himself to keep from being bored.
That's true. I'd do the same. And if someone didn't value their life, or lives as in the case with Puss, and disrespects Death as Puss did, yeah I would have taken his life early as well. Respect me and I'll respect you, disrespect me though, and that gives me the ok to mess with you in any way I want.
The problem is that nobody's supposed to be his target, people die from natural to violent reasons but not him
@@sigisoltau6073 He is scary.
😂
In my opinion, the reason why Death is portrayed as a wolf is because he’s an allegory of a predatory creature hunting his prey.
Death also relishes in how Puss fears him and seems to also really enjoys the thrill in pursuit of Puss’ final life. But when Puss finally confronted and defeated him in battle, the fun was taken out of it for Death.
The rivalry between Puss and Death is just really powerful and that what makes the movie feel so deep.
…unless he’s a wolf because the director was trying to aim for that cliche “cats vs dogs” thing. If so then that takes away any artistic value this film has.
nah bro it was pure 100 percent legit furry bait.
Maybe he takes on a form that inspires fear in whatever he's meeting. So he'd appear as the classic look for a human, or a dragon for a knight, or a woodcutter for a sentient tree.
It can be both tho.
the connected shrek universe is based on folktales and things like that, so death in my opinion probably represents "the big bad wolf" of these stories
@@thatonecheesyguy Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
This guy is a awesome new villain.
An*
Scary.
He's not a villain, he's an antagonist.
He is a villain, both of them an antagonist an evil villain and laterally scary.
He's an villain, not an antagonist.
Death also wants to kill puss so he can’t get his lives back. He also only left him alone during retirement because that was the first time puss ever avoided death to the point of giving up
Makes sense. And as soon as Puss went back to being the Legend, Death tried to kill him again.
YES! FInally! I'm so sick of people saying that Death isn't a villain, and/or that he was justified. THANK YOU for spelling out why that's simply not the case.
Death definitely acted out of line to interfere with Puss’s life but because he was tired of Puss calling death out and insulting him over 8x. Death stated in his own opinion that cats have an unfair ability to have 9 lives that waste it intentionally while everyone else struggle with just the mere of one life, I can see why people say he’s the main antagonist but I don’t see him as the villain because he ultimately taught Puss a lesson. In my opinion, I think it was all of Death’s plans, I mean he let Puss live throughout half the film, Death is a natural force of nature. Is it really villainous to teach a egomaniac, arrogant, self-centered person through his own way a personal lesson and experience to live with one life and appreciate instead of squandering? Because of Death, Puss finally opened up and got back with his finance. I believe the point of Death in TLW was show us the importance of time and appreciation for everyone and everything around us. In my book, Death is not a villian, a villain usually kills innocent people and brutally torments them. Death merely threatened Puss, and scratched him, and fought him but he never killed him. I believe that’s the key lesson here.
well at the end Death gives Puss a chance to defend himself by tossing him his rapier
And I agree that mental torturing he does on him is definitely a villainous thing (like Puss doesn't even deserve it). But without this harsh treatment Puss would most likely waste his last life in vain, so in a very, very messed up way, Death did Puss a favor
edit: changed opinion. Less of wolf's favor and more of Puss' and his friends' credit
"This is going to be fun." That's why Death gave him his rapier.
Even if that was Death's intention (which it wasn't), what he did was overboard and not the best way to go about it.
@@ApricityGlow I agree, he's not that noble and honorable as everyone depicts him to be, he's actually somewhat of a sadist.
In his defense his main resentments for Puss is because:
#1: Despite Death being, well... Death, he does see and respect the value of life. So the fact that Puss kept throwing his extra lives away (and also hating the concept of 9 lives) so carelessly has him think if Puss is gonna show no value over the lives he's been blessed with, then he doesn't deserve them.
#2: Puss originally was delusional as much as egotistical. Believing because he was such a legend and had 9 lives to spare, that made him "immortal", and his constant boasts of "laughing in the face of death, and treating something as serious as death as a joke eventually became a personal insult to Death, hence why he wanted to take Puss's last life personally.
But when Puss finally values his last life and no longer fears dying, Death (though begrudgingly) leaves cause he see's no point in killing him now that isn't that arrogant legend anymore, and even respects Puss for his change of character.
Ithink he is the lesser of 2 evils, personally don't think he was an outright villain like Jack Horner was , Death was just doing what he did, Horner knew exactly what he was doign on the other hand.
Can your next video please be on Davy Jones from the _Pirates of the Caribbean_ movies?
Death does have a point. He's an unstoppable natural force that comes for everybody eventually. He probably doesn't care about other characters that constantly avoid dying because he'll get them eventually.
The irony that Death represents the same vice he persues Puss for; arrogance. That he is used to being an unstoppable force and chooses to undermine any sort of adversity. He hates that Puss mocks his power by wasting his lives and acting like he is invincible, so he humiliates him, but he, by his own admittance, 'plays with his own food'. He bullies and flaunts his own power at every turn rather than just ending it then and there because he wants to make perfectly clear just who and what Puss messed with.
This leads him to chase after Puss after his character development has been met and actually be put on the ropes (at least in the mortal form he takes) and, upon realising Puss no longer fears him nor has the same inflated ego, throws a tantrum, he persued Puss out of wounded pride and actually got it wounded further, something that in his hispanic cussing he acknowledges was his own fault. Both characters needed each other to be humbled, both on the Wishing Star, and both left on respectful terms.
"He is straightforward, yo."
I know Death may have gone beyond want he was supposed to do, but I think he may have been fed up with being disrespected by Puss when he constantly said "I laugh in the face of death". The psychological torture may have been to much, but considering Death is immortal, there might not be many ways to entertain himself.
wolf did ignore the fact that Puss in Boots couldn't t know that death is a person
Cool villain.
evil bad wolf.
excellent work on covering Death 👏👏let's see you cover Pennywise from IT
I like him.
YES! Thank you! Finally more people are saying this
Ah. I love this argument.
Yes, he has villainous qualities that he expressed. He revels in the hunt, he plays psychological games and feeds off of fear and is expert in nflicting trauma, but he respects at Puss at the end for a tough lesson learned. He set out to kill Puss, he could have easily done it in the tavern, but chose to let him experience natural feelings such as fear, anxiety, mortality, and what it means to only have one shot at life, something totally foreign to Puss. Between the tavern and the last fight, he was just a constant reminder that he was hot on his trail. He actually played his role too well, because fear and anxiety, the mental torture that he inflicted were a great catalyst for Puss letting the legend die and picking up his sword to have one last fight. He said it himself, he was there for a legend with delusions of immortality, but Puss killed they legend when he dropped the map. Apart from the obvious villain, being Jack Horner, the true villain for Puss wasn't the wolf, it was himself, his legendary status, and his total devotion to keep that image alive at all costs, including his former lives, and he had no problem sacrificing relationships and using anyone he deemed lesser than himself, like how he kicked Perrito into the portal to the dark forest, then asked if he's still alive. Let's face it, he was a dick, and needed some discipline.
You are wrong, Puss in Boots is not a dick. Everybody treated Perrito harshly lol, maybe remember how Kitty Softpaws threatened him with murder?? Or how Wolf's flames nearly burned him?
Fear that clouded Puss in Boots' mind in the cave actually made him to ignore his friends as they were calling him, some catalyst lol.
There were never any lessons or discipline intended by the wolf as he is super angry in the end.
And no, Puss in Boots does not kill the legend, he becomes the real legend because he fights death and beats it in combat. If this alone doesn't make you a legend idk what does.
Let's face it, wolf is a sadist, a cheater and overall a bad guy, who rightfully gets kicked in the face for his wrongdoings lol
@@zephyr9852 I think you missed the point I was making. I was making a reference Puss' previous lives and the way they interacted with him in the cave for getting back with Kitty and for befriending Perrito made him a dick in previous lives. The one he's on is wholesome by that point. He even carries Perrito while jumping off the star, probably because he feared Perrito wouldn't be able to make the jump.
And while not intentionally, there was still a lesson... Puss learned the point of Death's unrelenting pursuit. It wasn't until he stared Death in the face and showed he isn't afraid anymore and is willing to fight to the bitter end for the life that he found that the wolf backs down. Then again, everybody has their own take on this one, this take is mine, you have your own, that's fine. :)
What I meant by "Puss killed the legend" was that before, when he faced an enemy, he did it for the fame and so that everybody would love him. He fought for himself. At least that's how I saw his fight with the giant. He did it for style points and cheers from his fans. The fight with death, he was fighting not for himself, but for the company he had grown so attached to that it made him forget about all his previous exploits, they didn't mean much anymore. No crowd to witness the fight and shower him with more praise, he only cared about being with Kitty and Perrito, that defined his life as he fought for it. Or to make it short, the "legend so big, there was no room for anyone else" or, as he was reminded in the cave, "Puss in Boots works alone..." Or is it "walks?" lol, I couldn't figure it out.
Finally, I can't disagree with the last statement. The wolf is a mean son of a bitch (pun intended)... He is absolutely in the wrong. He stepped outside of his scope, but, from reading countless comments about the character and his motives, a large portion of the audience, including myself, understands the motives for him manifesting in the flesh and coming after Puss. I just think that by the time he revealed who he is, Puss has already changed, but, we have to have the last fight, and what a fight it was... I'm just gonna say it, the fact that there is a fight, the fact that we see Puss drop the fear and pick up the sword and give us a beautifully choreographed fight was worth it. Sure, had he stopped pursuing Puss once he realized that his priorities changed would make him less villainous, but the payoff of the fight with Death, for the audience, is larger than life.
I still maintain my stance, Puss killed the legend, he was ready to let someone else into his life, knowing that his exploits wouldn't be as numerous and as bombastic as before because he would take less chances with this life. Especially since he knows that the legend he so loved wouldn't have room for Kitty in it, and, in Kitty's own words, she "couldn't compete with his one true love..." That's the legend he killed. But, to me, as the audience of the story, and the few that witnessed the fight, yes, Puss became not just a legend but THE legend.
@@SergeyPupkoMusic he obviously can't be a dick in previous lives because previous lives are Shrek 2-4 and Puss in Boots 1 and Three Diablos. can't call him jerk there at all
still no lessons as Wolf is mad and claims that Puss in Boots ruined this for him
there is no problem for me with how he fought the giant. people are saved and the praise IS deserved. besides even in the fight against wolf he displays the same theatrics.
the legend can't be killed as it's the stories that people tell about a famous or admired person. And Puss in Boots already built himself a reputation of the legendary hero with his adventures and he intends to be an adventurer further.
@@zephyr9852 👍
Nice villain.
He is straights up.
I love this villain.
Yep.
I know that they aren’t villains at all, but could you do a video on Goldie and the three bears? I think they’re the most underrated bunch of the film, and need more coverage.
Finally, someone who gets it. "Death" in this movie was evil. Not "just doing his job."
not saying Death isn't a villain but evil is a weird word to apply to him
Puss's nature as a dare-devil, careless with all eight lives up to the last, not to mention in pursuit of the wishing star would gain them back, just to waste them again.
Death doesn't have so much a black and white morality, as a infinite plane of grey stretching from one end to the other due to how damn well old he is, the only thing he can quantify as qualities of a deserving and undeserving life are his own values.
That being, if you have a life, you should cherish it. Don't make light of your end.
How he goes about dealing with people that irritate him to a degree of personal intervention can be construed as villainous, i personally think Death just see's this as just desserts.
Puss finally is made to understand his last life is precious, and knock him out of his foolish devil may cry attitude and denial of the situation. He was probably listening in as the Doc explained it clearly, but Puss treated it like nothing.
Fables of Gods constantly show the stories of mortals bragging 'they don't fear/can do better/can't strike me down', and are proven incredibly wrong for it. 'Puss in Boots doesn't fear death!'
At that point, Death just went 'challenge accepted'.
Wolf is evil, there was nothing grey about him in the movie, he is murderous, sadistic and a cheater.
That's NOT Wolf's credit that Puss in Boots gains new confidence and Puss in the end for real doesn't fear Death
@@zephyr9852 If he was evil, Wolf could have just kept hurting and eventually killing Puss. And while it's of course Softpaws and his liddle buddy that helps ground him, you can't deny that Death was the kick in the tail he needed to get over himself and his legend at the beginning.
You can have hardline stances towards things and not fit in the umbrella of 'evil/good' you know? Death, and remember this is *Death*, wants people to treat life seriously and not spend it like Puss did.
... I'm unsure where the cheater part comes from however, and why that warrants higher than 'murder' and 'sadism'. Do you mean because he came early to collect Puss's last life? If so-Death honestly is in his right, this isn't a board game, it's HIS game, he can change the rules all he wants.
@@fissshy7 he is evil and you do realize he attempted to kill Puss in Boots in the end? It's also Puss in Boots who seems himself in the cave and he didn't like how he was insulted for wishing to share the wish and being a friend with a dog. Wolf made Puss in Boots indirectly go to cat shelter where Puss met Perrito but that's it, after that his encounters are harmful and him being a jerk. And Puss in Boots is the real legend for defeating wolf
if he wants people live life "seriously" and gets super mad because of badmouthing then he already can't be morally grey as you claim him to be. Besides it's Puss in Boots' lives, can do whatever he wants with them.
Wolf is not in his right, he doesn't deny his cheating when he's accused of it, he can only think he's right and that is his game. Doesn't make him any less evil
@@zephyr9852 I think you're getting a bit too heated bub.
Puss didn't just *bad mouth* him, he was not just disrespectful but also blatantly disrespectful, throwing away all his lives on ego, stupidity and carelessness.
I also notice a trend of you referring to Death as... 'wolf', is this a purposeful forced ignorance of the fact he IS a personified aspect of Death? That strips a lot out of his character trying to knock him down out of importance.
You clearly aren't a fan of Orange/Blue mortality characters, so i think we should agree to disagree here.
@@fissshy7 disrespectful towards whom? wolf? it wasn't intentional as Puss in Boots couldn't know about his existence as a person. i'll say again it's his lives, he can do what he wants with them. if wolf would be truly morally grey he wouldn't be bothered by bad mouthing, disrespectful behaviour or something like that, he would simply wait until Puss in Boots loses ninth life. In this movie however, he is bothered by that a lot and even has a prejudice towards cats in general.
I refer to him as 'Wolf" because it's how he's listed in the movie's end credits.
I looked it up and now I understand why you consider wolf as O/B character but yeah can't say I am a fan of it
You should continue in the mind of a hero
He also know as the Grim reaper.
The director himself looks to Death as a teacher/maybe sort of 'mentor' for Puss. He is pretty much like the shonen villain/antagonist Toguro from YuYu Hakusho: "He is a well of contradicting desires, but beneath it all, just a simple man (wolf who is Death)." It's clunky, yeah, but it makes it more fun for us to see him be this _layered,_ yet simple
Okay, I can't quite find where I read this. That isn't good. I swear I remember reading this as a companion DM he sent to a fanartist
What about Goldilocks next. To complete the collection of villains in Puss In Boots 2. I know she's not really a villain but she kind of did hurt so many innocent people to get what she wants that she'd later give all up
FINALLY, a video where someone explains that Death is NOT just "a force of nature".
I'm shocked how this whole fandom seems to be so against the idea that he is a villain. They try so hard to downplay his impact on Puss. My guess is that one of the reasons is bc people in general don't want to see death as smth evil, a "devil" wanting to harm us. But you know, this is fair to think like this in our real world. IN THE MOVIE, Death as a character clearly acts maliciously and expresses some flaws like anger issues and toxic pride. This is a fairytale land, not the real world. Death here doesn't have to be just indifferent - it can be like a very humane, flawed deity from Greek mythology, in example.
Another reason may be also the fact that they want to ship him with Puss so badly 😅
I'm Death Stiraght up!
Good.
I'm not a furry or an edgelord. But I love Death the wolf.
about damn time someone said it
Please make a video on ln the mind of a villain video on thrill from the last kids on Earth
"He also know as " The Grim Reaper"
The reason why I still see death as an antagonist instead of a full-on villain is because in the end he decides to respect the lessons puss has learned it allows him to live his life with a new values that puss has attained even though this pisses death off as he still wanted to kill puss for all the years of disrespect you receive from the cat. Now if he had went all the way and still tried to kill puss after his turnaround a new lease on life then yeah I would definitely see death as a villain but because he begrudgingly respect the change that puss has gone through He Still Remains an antagonist to me with Jack Horner still being the only true villain of the movie but just barely I do have to admit that death pushes it a lot.
First of all It doesnt matter that Puss didn't value his 9 lives. Its still not death's job to make it personal and kill someone EARLY (("thats cheating!" "Shh, dont tell.") he wasnt intending to teach a lesson either, that's just a coincidence. Puss learned to appreciate life because of his friends, not death alone.
Not to mention that Death takes pleasure in tormenting his victims, atleast Puss. Infact Death was unhappy that he changed because killing him wouldn't be satisfying anymore("why the hell did i play with my food, youre ruining this for me!") Just because he has principles and left him alone doesn't mean he isn't a villain in the movie. He still had malicious intentions to kill an innocent person. It doesn't matter that he changed his mind last second.
Death literally wanted to kill puss early out of spite just because he felt insulted by his arrogance, the only reason he left him alone is that puss became humble so he lost interest. Simple.
Let's see... Death is the following; resentful, sadistic, and battle-hungry. If he was just doing his job then Death should wait until puss until he meet his final demise. He shouldn't care if you 'appreciate life' or not. Death is just a force of nature, right? It has no metaphorical, or rhetorical, or poetic, or theoretical or any other fancy meaning. You just die, straight up.. If Death's character was apathetic and unfeeling without any personal motives, then he wouldn't go out of the way to kill some arrogant cat over a grudge.
And last thing, all villains are antagonists.
@@ragingtomato04 I agree with most of this but the last part is wrong. Not all villains are antagonists(e.g. Walter White and Light Yagami).
@@elijahbagaman276 I mean, if you are being technical about it then yes. But in the realm of non protagonist like death, all villains are antagonist. I am just making a point for the people that thinks that just because you're a villain, you are not an antagonist.
I said this in another comment in a different video (I'm not sure if it's yours), but your argument that "Death is a villain, because he's doing something out of contempt that falls outside of his job" fails. Death is a literal god. He's not bound by any rules. He reaps the souls of mortals, because it's in his nature to do so. Now, he clearly has his own rules of reaping souls, but he's the one that set that himself. And no one knows all the conditions of the reaping soul, other than himself. And he definitely doesn't care about the convenience nor logic of mortals of his own rules, simply because he's that much superior. And clearly, one of his rules of reaping soul is, "reap the soul of those who wastes his life due to having multiple lives." And Puss fell into that category.
I think Death was just a petty hypocrite. He basically hates Puss for taking life for granted. Yet Jack Horner ,who has much less value of life than Puss, exists and Death isn't doing anything to him. He just doesn't like the idea of multiple lives.
If we see more of death n ppl hes killed then that wont mske him a villian anymore imo plus jack horner is the real villian.
@@Edixim Well death is the real villain too. Multiple parties can be wrong.
Here is the thing.
He is DEATH... it's his RIGHT to take Puss....
There is nothing wrong with Death removing Puss' right to life because it's HIS to take....
If he deemed Puss as unworthy, then he was right to take it.
And let's be real... he could have taken Puss' life at ANY TIME...
His 1st attack made Puss actually care about his life.... afterwards, he actually STOPPED hunting Puss and left him alone.
And he only went after Puss again once Puss started to be arrogant again.
And he specifically TOLD Puss everything he was doing wrong....
And he didn't kill Puss once he saw the cat learned his lesson...
If you only go after someone when they do something wrong, tell them exactly what they did wrong and commend them for fixing their mistake, you are a teacher.
Also, Death could have killed Puss at any time. But he didn't. Puss himself stated that he couldn't ever actually beat Death.
So no, I feel Death was just a teacher... Puss didn't need to stop or beat Death. He just needed to prove to Death he understood the value of his life....
If Death didn't go to Puss, you realize Puss would have been dead, right???
Puss was planning to risk his life for stupid reasons again. In fact, Puss once died from over drinking and was planning on drinking too much again.
So Death actually SAVED Puss.....
Think about it. Without Death's attack, Puss would have quickly been dead anyways. Death didn't need to do anything.
Would love to see you tackle Killmonger
0:46 cue Killed By Death by Motorhead
I see a number of people view death as some kind of hero since he does help Puss become a better person. They miss that death stated out right he enjoyed torturing him and said that he was out to kill him. So this needed to be said.
There is a hint that death isn’t such a bad guy normally unless somebody ticks him off. If you pay attention to his magic flames you see they shove away people he isn’t targeting but don’t hurt them.
He has an odd sense of morality where his idea of right and wrong mostly seems to be about whether or not someone who lives longer than everyone else treasures their lives. And also whether or not they make fun of them, we see he does not care for someone saying they laugh at death.
He does not help, in the cave of lost souls he scares Puss in Boots into using wish for himself, he is an obstacle.
Flames pushed Perrito but if Kitty Softpaws wouldn't have caught him, he would slide to star edge and perish.
If something like UNINTENTIONAL badmouthing manages to tick him off, he is the bad guy
Can you make a video on Negan from the walking dead?
Not great you told what he did but didn’t explore his motives or perspective like you usually do more focest on clearifing him as a villain rather then an antagonist rather then a meaningful retrospective on him as a character or if he had a piont about puss not vaulibg life and the unfairness of cats getting 9 8 more them every else just because
That's hardly a point, Puss in Boots' lives are his own and he can do whatever he wants with them, doesn't really give wolf an excuse being jigsaw parody
Maybe not but this is the mind of a villain 🦹♀️ so exploring wolfs motivation and why he’s doing this still should’ve come up. Not to mention the interpretation of a part of wolf wanting puss to lurn his less rather then kill him. He let him escape many times and seems visibly happy when puss starts to when the fight
@@dylanthomas385 no he never wanted him to learn anything, he seems super angry and swears after hearing Puss' words lol
Can you do one on either Darth Sidous or Count Dooku next.
Si. Hasta la muerte.
Death goes out of his boundaries because he finds the idea of 9 lives very absurd and what triggers him the most is that puss in boots makes stupid choices
and "laughs in the face of death" had the doctor not told him it was his last life puss wouldve died already

Wolf vs Mandy from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
Mandy: (in a demonic voice) do my chores.
Wolf: “Look, you’re pure evil and possibly the Antichrist of your world, but you’re also a joke character just like everyone else from there. I’m a serious approach about the topic of death. Not an anime fight, a fight of ideas. You’re powerless against me here.”
Mandy: “……. You’re good.”
I would argue Death was trying to teach Puss a lesson in valuing his life while hoping for failure so he could enjoy some cat meat. We all know cats and dogs don't get along (at least on TV) and wolves are natural-born predators over small animals like cats. Death was merely trying to get Puss to realize what he had was pressious yet, as a wolf, still wanted a good meal. When Puss grew a backbone, Death got ticked because he didn't get to enjoy a well-done meal like he wanted to.
that's just making him duplicitous and he didn't show signs of being one. he did not want puss to get anything
Do lord farquaad or the fairy godmother form Shrek movie
it is as if puss is a bad narcissistic guy and death is the punishment. It is like when a bad guy dies and goes to hell and we know this will happen if afterlife is known to exist in the media. the hero is not the one to give this punishment, heroes are the ones that defeats the villian. Death in movie is that punishment. Imagine if death was a heroic character and then look at the whole situation again. It feels like Death is punishing someone who lived their life selfishly and full of pride by psycolohigcal torture and an early end. That is simply waht is happening, after all everyone dies eventually anyways. Death just wants the narcissistic people to face it as negatively as possible.
what about personal beef with puss specifically? one, perhaps there were others like puss in the past. We just don't know. But if puss is the only one death has ever done this, then it is his pride coupled with 9 lives. And perhaps puss was the worst he has ever seen due to nine lives privilige of cats. Still, Death itself doing this feels more of a fairy tale thing than soemthing such a being would do?
what about personal beef considering the whole power dynamic? or a being supposed to be very old and wise? yeah i never understood that one. Then again i am not thousands of years old maybe that is more believable than the issue in first paragraph.
is hell moral?
Puss in Boots may be a little narcissistic but he is not a bad guy, he is a good guy and a hero.
Wolf is not heroic, he is sadistic, murderous and cheating. You are giving him too much credit, his reasons were far more pettier.
Wolf is a villain and he gets defeated by the hero in the end
I love your videos, but personally I view death and his actions in this film in a different light. To me, it appears he undertakes his actions not to kill puss, but to teach him a lesson, alongside Perrito. Death and Perrito are both canine characters who appear early in the film, who both work together to teach puss the value of a life. While Lobo plays bad cop, Perrito is good cop. Pure Fear and Pure Innocence, Yin and Yang. It's through the actions of them both that puss comes out better
That's a good one; I like your contrast of them as good cop/bad cop, opposing forces leading him down the path of fulfilment. Perrito enjoyed life when in Boot's standards, had nothing to live for.
If it really were a lesson he wouldn’t have been mad at Puss valuing life. Although I do like how his moral ambiguity is so heavily debatable
Interesting observation. I mean absolutely no offense, but I think this video focuses more on Death's actions rather than his mindset.
Here is my opinion on Death:
I ultimately think of him as more of an antagonist in this story. As Death, he is a force of nature that comes for every living thing when they reach the end of their lives.
He is undeniably sadistic, as he openly admits he "loves the smell of fear." He takes obvious pleasure in taunting, terrorizing and humiliating Puss, as shown by his gleeful grins and the way he allows Puss to get a head-start when he runs away from him.
However, Death's reason for coming after Puss is valid. Puss has been extremely arrogant, reckless and disrespectful for several reasons:
1: Believing he was immortal, which he isn't, never has been, and never will be.
2: Squandering eight of his nine lives (which is far more than most life-forms ever get) in incredibly stupid ways (getting himself trampled by bulls by stopping to flirt with a woman while running from the herd, blowing himself out of a cannon, and eating a food that he has an obvious allergy to e.g.)
3: Both literally and figuratively laughing in the face of death, treating it like a joke.
As Death himself points out, Puss has disrespected him and been treating his own life with little if any value. So Death has decided that Puss doesn't deserve to live out his final life, since he wasted his previous eight ones. As Death himself states, he believes he's doing both himself and Puss a favor by taking the cat's final life now and personally. I think what Death means by that is that by killing Puss he won't have to deal with Puss "laughing in his face" anymore, and he will stop Puss from pointlessly wasting his final life in yet another stupid, reckless way.
I think the reason why Death chooses to toy with Puss rather than kill him immediately is because he enjoys it, because he wants Puss to understand that he is inevitable, and because he wants to savor this unusual experience for as long as he can (as Death, he literally takes lives everyday, so it must get quite boring for him. So taking Puss down personally instead of just waiting for him to die naturally is a rare opportunity to do something different). This is just my opinion of course.
Death may be ruthless and sadistic, but he isn't petty. When he conjures the ring of fire around himself and Puss, said fire only knocks Perrito away and does not harm him at all. This, along with the fact that Death never goes after any of the other characters, shows that he does have his own ethics and standards. He may be ruthless and sadistic towards those who disrespect him enough for him to try to take their lives early, but he isn't petty enough to just kill anyone in the crossfire, unlike some other antagonists.
1:06 I will admit that Death is definitely bending his own rules to take Puss's final life himself, so it does qualify as cheating. Death himself doesn't deny it. That being said, the Crystal reflection that calls Death out on this is in no position to criticize Death for cheating, since that life was lost because Puss foolishly tried to cheat a dog pack at a game of cards.
Ring of fire knocked Perrito away and he would've slided to the star border if Kitty wouldn't have caught him. Cheating is cheating no matter who calls you out for it and isn't the fact that Death wanted to kill Puss over Puss' unintentional mockery says a lot about pettiness?
First of all It doesnt matter that Puss didn't value his 9 lives. Its still not death's job to make it personal and kill someone EARLY (("thats cheating!" "Shh, dont tell.") he wasnt intending to teach a lesson either, that's just a coincidence. Puss learned to appreciate life because of his friends, not death alone.
Not to mention that Death takes pleasure in tormenting his victims, atleast Puss. Infact Death was unhappy that he changed because killing him wouldn't be satisfying anymore("why the hell did i play with my food, youre ruining this for me!") Just because he has principles and left him alone doesn't mean he isn't a villain in the movie. He still had malicious intentions to kill an innocent person. It doesn't matter that he changed his mind last second.
Death literally wanted to kill puss early out of spite just because he felt insulted by his arrogance, the only reason he left him alone is that puss became humble so he lost interest. Simple.
Let's see... Death is the following; resentful, sadistic, and battle-hungry. If he was just doing his job then Death should wait until puss until he meet his final demise. He shouldn't care if you 'appreciate life' or not. Death is just a force of nature, right? It has no metaphorical, or rhetorical, or poetic, or theoretical or any other fancy meaning. You just die, straight up.. If Death's character was apathetic and unfeeling without any personal motives, then he wouldn't go out of the way to kill some arrogant cat over a grudge.
And Last thing, all villains are antagonists
People keep bringing up how Death shouldn’t have gone after Puss because, as Puss says when he learns that the wolf is Death and that he’s after Puss, “but I’m not dead yet?” Puss isn’t dead yet, or dying, so Death shouldn’t be after him. I say that their is another way to look at this that is him doing his job.
How many people die because of ‘arrogant legends who think themselves immortal’? How many innocents get caught in their wake? Death has a respect for life and is mad Puss wasted his first eight lives, but think also on how many people could have died alongside Puss if he continued on the path he was on. Death is stepping in and reaping a life early, to prevent a dozen of people who don’t deserve to die early from, well, dying early! He’s Death! He likely knows when and how people are meant to die. He was present for all of Puss’s first eight deaths after all. He’s doing his job, and that’s why he stands down. He’s mad at himself that he doesn’t get to kill Puss because he caused him to no longer be that legend, and that shows how sadistic and how much joy he gets out of doing that part of his job. He could have still killed Puss because he only changed during the final fight, but if he did so he’d be breaking the rules for his job. He isn’t happy about it, but he accepts it. He’d eventually get Puss anyway, because Death comes for all.

@@ragingtomato04 you can always love your job to much. I never claimed he was impartial or anything. I was just saying what he was doing could potentially be a literal part of his job, though likely only on a technicality. I doubt he would have really been stopped if Puss actually wished for the eight lives he wasted back. He’d already died before, so he was technically in Death’s domain. Just because he is death doesn’t mean he always has been. I’d imagine it’s more along the line of reapers from supernatural. He’s a being that once died and was given the position of death.
First
I don't see death as a villain he's just doing his job
No he isn’t he’s not even supposed to kill the living he’s only supposed to deal with the dead
@@DARKDREAMYBOWSEROfficial In real life
@@DARKDREAMYBOWSEROfficial didn't God mess With the living
"Um, ackshually Death isn't a villain, but a force of nature. He's just doing his job. All he did is teach Puss a lesson, so I believe the correct term is antagonist 🤓"
