But of a strange request, but could you possibly do Sauron or Tetsuo Shima for your next villain review?

Death is in the scene when puss is running on the rooftops at the beginning before his introductory scene. The part where the crowd does the wave, look at the upper left corner in the doorway. Also, when puss is reciting his deaths, the corners of the number cards for each death has Death in each corner.

I wouldn't mind him reviewing Grimmel the Grisly from HTTYD 3.

​@@ghost4144nice details i didn't notice that at first dude interesting

It also makes sense from an ideological standpoint. Puss is not someone suffering from a disease such that death is always at the forefront. For puss, all of his deaths came suddenly and so it makes sense that when Death personified (wolfified?) is chasing him, he always shows up suddenly even though he's always around the corner.

I still want to see a Spin Off movie about him... We need to see him again in some form in the future.

Fully agree

@@MortesHere A spinoff of a Sequel of a spinoff of a Sequel Spinoff-ception

Exactly the is supposed to carrry the character death isn’t all ways a threat it’s a constant though in your mind when it’s not a real tjreat

Yeah I’m thinking of reviewing Jack Horner soon

@@jayfilms99 recommended you do so we could hear your thoughts on him

Yes. Each of the villains complement each other very well. Death provides the lingering threat, Jack provides the comic relief but also pure unapologetic villainy, and Goldy provides the sympathetic back story.

@@jayfilms99 You know a Villain that I got shivers from Robot Tommy from Dimensions in Danger

The embodiment/personification of a force of nature is a good way to do a villain like that. Basically the kids version of the smile monster or vecna from stranger things.

I was scared the whole movie, waiting for death to appear on screen, but when he whistles is just, OH no! 🥶😵‍💫😱😰 He's coming. 😬🫨😨 Run Puss, run! 😥

@@victorjonathanl.siguantay2627 Exactly and how he just like Puss is Hispanic... Emphasizes that He should be understood for who and what he is despite one's culture. Like Brad in Meet Joe Black

"Corre, corre, gatito" was the best. I've just sent this line to one of our corrupt politicians.

When you think about it, his "pop-ups" resemble intrusive thoughts about your mortality.

Just like death in real life

I mean it's still a valid criticism, just not one you agree with. You can disagree that it's a good one, but not that it's a valid one because valid purely means that it is a criticism that someone could have in good faith

What ideas do you have in mind?

He's a damn master

Oh, Death is Brazilian? So that explains the godlike power.

Guess you can say Puss never took him seriously, so it's only fair for death to not do the same either.

@@colorstripes8588 A game of ...cat and mouse

He said *"Why the hell did I go play with my food?"* To be exact.

I think Death intentionally WANTED Puss to reach the Wishing Star, only to kill him before Puss can make the wish for more lives. My guess is that the moment Puss TRIED to use the map to make a wish, Death might have appeared right next to Puss to kill him instantly (You saw how Death managed to teleport to another dark area and walked out of it without even Puss noticing, and this is when Puss was looking at him and have full attention on him back in the cave). It was when he saw Puss become a changed person (cat) that he changed his mind. At the end of the day, Death still stuck with his principles and values, that when someone values their lives and wishes to make the most of it, he will not take it from them prematurely. Puss's affront to Death is by not valuing how precious life is, which made Death decided to hunt him in the first place. Ultimately in the end, everything worked out in Death's favour, regardless of whether he killed Puss or not. This is because Puss changed for the better and emerged from this ordeal having learned how to appreciate his life.

@@xorngoh7303 Death might've also wanted Puss to actually get the wish so that he could continue toying with him and actually Kill him while keeping his "Game" going

1000% agree

Technically not a villain, he’s more of a wake up call.

the film has all antagonist tropes and excel on all of them lmao... man this is flexing lmao 1. the pure evil antagonist 2. the redeemable villain 3. the force of nature

Since he's an ANTAGONIST and not a villain, your suggestion of using him to write villains is bullshit.

@@yohanesbobbysanjaya3541 I like number 2 that is my favorite villain.

I agree

Agreed. That being said I’m really glad we got a lot more of the King in KOTM and GvK.

Yeah. I think the wolf is threatening because he don’t appear often. Instead of showing him fighting puss a lot of times and him following puss, the wolf is just this scary presence that appears in a unpredictable manner.

Hannibal Lecter only had 15 minutes of screen time in Silence of the Lambs, and he’s still one of the most terrifying movie villains.

Rexy is only on screen about 7-8 whole minutes in Jurassic Park, a 130+ minute movie.

I agree totally. It makes me worry with every scene he's NOT in. Like we KNOW he's always watching, and because of it, we KNOW he can appear at any time. It's kinda mixed for me. On one hand I love Death so much I want him to appear more, but I love that he doesn't because of what you've listed, but also it's just... so fitting in a weird way that he isn't. Even before we meet him, we actually see him in the crowd of people when he's fighting that giant monster. I feel like it only adds to the fact that he's just always there, even when he's not on screen. Amazing stuff.

I usually smash around town on my downhill bike, having a few beers in the process. Before this movie, I thought that is okay. But now, I can clearly see death for what it is (and I had some brushes with him in the past). Live your life, live it well...because we will meet him some day.

I also like how basically, when death ask him "you know, will meet again, right?" Basically, Puss answered: "well, until death, then.." Basically accepting that Puss, too, has to go eventually. That next time. Puss will embrace and welcome the meeting with open arms.

He kind of sets the whole plot off tho and is the fuel behind Puss’ whole arc in the story. Good thoughts tho

Rattlesnake Jake was so freaking cool

Lobo is actually Spanish for wolf, so I wouldn't say that's his name

@@turkeyman100 I know, is just that's how Puss refer him in the end, I'm not calling his name Lobo

I'm glad I'm not the only one who got rattlesnake Jake vibes lmao

"Corre, corre, gatito" is my new favourite phrase, which I always say to myself, whenever I'm bound to commit a stupid thing.

Greatly said

I agree

I feel like he would lose a little bit of the fear he produces if he ended up having too much screen time.

@Matthew Pimentel yeah I kinda agree but it would have also been cool to just have him like be seen in the background of some shots like during the sequence of showing all 8 deaths of puss in boots if we just looked hard enough we would see him in each background just waiting for puss to die. Or see him in the background of the pie factory fight or when Jack horners men start to die we can see him in the distance just staring at all the death that's happening or something like that it would give us more of him but still keep the fear factor in it.

@@fanmania2447 if you look it up they actually did do that.

@Santana I know I'm just saying I wanted to see more of that because we only get like one scene where that happens, and it's only during the very beginning.

Yeah that's fair, maybe I just want more scenes lol

@@jayfilms99 I think because he's so cool in Design and badass that people really just want to see more of them but that's not the point of his character at all. In fact its rare for anyone to really see death coming so when it does come it's swift with little time to spare.

Yet points can be made without fear. Fear can be a start but it doesn't have to be the end. "You know we'll meet again, right?"

Same Anya, same

I dreamed of this scene!

It's amazing how Death spelled out that he's death in the most LITERAL sense of the word, and people like yourself will still "theorize" that he's an "avatar" FOR death or some other concept. What part of "DEATH STRAIGHT UP" are you not understanding?

@@CJ-dk3im Being a avatar of death doesn’t mean he isn’t Death straight up. It’s just simply how Death chose to appear to Puss. And your taking that line out of context. What he meant is that he isn’t some bounty hunter or anyone simply saying they are Death. People may call themselves for numerous reasons. Maybe because they are known to have killed numerous people, or they are are efficient at killing others, or simply to invoke fear in others, etc. But this does not make them death itself. They simply just inherited a title thus they are just an impersonation of death. And this makes the scene where Puss realizes he is actually death more impactful. Puss now realizes that he isn’t simply up against a wolf bounty hunter who puts kills him. Oh no, it’s much worse than that. He managed to piss off the grim reaper himself. A being that he could never hope to compete against ever. Death is simply out of his league and there must come a time where we all must face him (metaphorically) whether we like it or not. Puss realizing that he has to face Death brings him fear as he isn’t ready to die. He is afraid of dying and he knows Death isn’t there to give him a glass of milk. Take a real life example. J. Robert Oppenheimer has said a famous quote saying, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” Does this mean that Oppenheimer has become the grim reaper himself? No it doesn’t. Nor that was what Oppenheimer was claiming. He was not delusional enough to believe that he has become the grim reaper like in popular fiction. Thus an inheritance of a title, not the actual thing. In this case Oppenheimer inherits the title of death simply as a caricature in an attempt to convey the gravity of what he helped create, the nuclear bomb. Example aside. In multiple stories of Death, throughout the centuries he is portrayed as faceless. Being able to take whatever form he can. Kind of like a force of nature that is always lingering where you never know it will strike you. No one knows when there time will be which is likely why he is often portrayed in this manner, with his most popular depiction being that of the dark hooded figure but this is not the only way he is depicted as like I said, he is often depicted as being able to take multiple forms. Have you ever heard of the famous saying, “the many faces of death”? Even in the classic depictions of death where he is portrayed in his hooded dark figure with a schythe he is often seen without a face. You look into a face and you see nothing. Simply darkness as to convey a void as death does not have a face and he can take on many faces as he so pleases. Therefore while only a theory, it makes sense if it were true (only a theory, never said it was true, just said it is possible and wouldn’t break the story in any way if it were). Death showing himself to Puss makes complete sense when you think about the symbolism and it’s implications. Small domesticated cats are naturally afraid (or more accurately anxious) of dogs, and other canines such as wolves in the real world (unless they grow up around them). This is in the real world. In fiction, cats and dogs are often depicted as deep rooted rivals. Death throughout the film loves to make puss be afraid and anxious. What better way to do this by appearing to puss as a gray wolf, the largest known canine we currently have. And this would also fit the writing trope of cats and dogs being rivals. A great choice for death to appear in. If death appeared in his classic, most famous dark hooded form, this would be a boring depiction as this is what everyone likes to depict him as. Depicting him in this manner is both unique and fitting. Hence, why the writers chose to depict him in this manner. And this theory simply suggest that this is not the only way he can appear to others physically as Death isn’t a physical being like you or I or any other animal but he can choose to appear in certain ways if he wants to be seen as depicted in fiction throughout history. And in the film itself Death literally has supernatural powers. He can teleport from place to place with ease to scare puss, being able to appear anytime and anywhere. He chooses to appear at times when Puss is close to death as a way to intimidate him further as a constant reminder of what he is up against. Death didn’t even go to that maze going through the traditional route that all the other characters had to go through. He just appeared there when he wanted to as to further drill into the audience that Death isn’t a physical being like you or I. He is something else entirely that we or Puss cannot begin to comprehend. All that we can comprehend is that it is a force of nature. Something we all must confront and is never cheated. Do you believe it is a stretch to say that death can shape shift into any avatar he so pleases? Whether or not the writers intended this is irrelevant as this is a theory. One like I said that if we’re true would not break the story in any way. In fact I’d argue, it would enhance the character and make lobo (Death) even cooler. Perhaps the writers didn’t intend it and this is simply a happy accident. Or perhaps they did. And finally, I don’t know why you think that I stating he is an avatar of Death, means that I am implying he isn’t death? Death does not need to have one form for him to be Death. I really honestly don’t follow and I’m not trying to be a hard ass about it. I’m trying to understand where you are coming from when you say this? The word avatar itself means a manifestation. And every time I watch I am more than happy to think of death in this manner even if it simply did turn out to be head canon because this depiction is simply too cool to pass up.

The "death did it on purpose" to me seemed like the reading they would go for, but he sounded genuinely upset when saying "why did I toy with my food" after realizing he can't kill Puss yet. It did sound like he genuinely wanted to kill Puss and his character arc ruined the fun for him. I still kinda believe it tho, but I more view it as, Death gave Puss a chance for personal growth, and didn't really care for end result, either Puss learns or dies, but ultimately he seemed to slightly lean towards just wanting to kill Puss. Not like it's his grand mission, but more like, he bet $5 on a game for fun, and lost. Enough to get him to vent the frustration for a second before accepting it and moving on.

@@gJonii you make good points. Could you imagine if Perrito was actually like a guardian Angel in disguise as a dog and he was the one who made a bet with death prior to this whole ordeal. It would make perritos character appearing not just a coincidence but a planned appearance. Of course Perrito would have known Death was going to lose. Always a fun thought I had in my head even though it isn’t true 😂

@@jonathanm9986 I don't like that idea, Perrito is fun to me precisely because he isn't magical, he is just genuinely someone that would stop to smell the roses. If you give him magical powers, it devalues him and things he do, because some super powerful guardian angel can afford to be optimistic in the face of danger and abuse, they could smell killer roses because powerful angel is not in danger. But a weak, mortal and not very smart dog takes a risk with being vulnerable, and it's that risk that gives weight to things Perrito does.

Same

Specify on what you’re talking about, please.

The “I ALWAYS come back.” part? Yes it does. It’s a pretty popular thing as well. You would know if you’ve heard of Springtrap from FNAF, Five Nights At Freddy’s if you didn’t know that either.

It’s a catchphrase. It’s as if you said “oh it’s the definition of ‘I’ll be back’ cuz of the Terminator”.

@@user-mp9hj1ms6n i know about Fnaf, yeah. But i can’t think of other “i always come back” to justify making it its own thing

Death is a villain because he went after Puss only because Puss was making fun of him and he assumed that Puss was going to waste his last life, instead of being patient and letting Puss perish on his own. Death didn't go after Puss for his work, that hunt was more personal just to make Puss swallow his words. Despite being a primal and inevitable being, he took Puss's taunts personally. He is not in a position to decide who deserves to live and die. Everyone decides what to do with their lives, and if Death doesn't like it, that's his problem, not Puss's. All that hunting was just for the entertainment of Death, as he himself admits, he likes to see his victims suffer before they die. In the end, he only leaves Puss alone because he is no longer afraid of him, making the hunt no longer funny without fear.

Even if death just wanted teach Puss a lesson or something else, he's still a villian. His method are dangerous, sadistic and cruel. Tormenting people is evil even if he's a force of nature. That makes him evil, but you can't blame him for that, but still evil. Also, going out to kill someone because he made fun of you seems personal and quite villainous.

Remember that in a literary/film analysis sense, a villain is someone who's motives (evil usually) are highly relevant to the plot. What makes a villain a villain is motives. You are right that he technically was doing his job.... right up until the beginning of the movie when he makes a claim on Puss's life. See, we know Puss has one life left; Death knows this too but Death is personally offended at Puss for his inability to place value on any of his lives. So what does Death do? He becomes motivated by his hatred for Puss's lack of value of his lives and seeks him out to expedite his death foregoing any personal policies or rules that govern Death himself. That's why he's considered a villain; had the movie never made it clear to us that he was motivated by his own feelings towards Puss (his entire mirror cave scene in the middle of the movie), he'd just remain a simple antagonist (probably a poor one with no clear motivation for being the antagonist).

He’s a villain in that he’s a sadistic and murderous. Complex and interesting for sure, because he has a clear set of morals and conscience, but he finds solace and joy in violently terrorizing Puss and likely anyone else who has slighted him before. He wouldn’t be that gifted in his ability to hunt if he hadn’t used it before.

@@RodinRaskol Puss got multiple chances to change when everyone only has one life to make count, but he's taken all his lives for granted and Death has had enough. He doesn't try to break him like a villain would. If anything the embodiment of Death is the main reason Puss becomes a better person so his methods are not necessarily cruel but fulfil a purpose to the hero's journey.

Oh yeah I get that, I have a review of Eris also btw

He's referencing an ancient Greek tradition wherein a coin would be placed over both eyes of the departed so they could pay Charon to take them into the afterlife. Just an absolutely brutal taunt.

Some fantastic suggestions, I'd love to review all of them

Stop fucking calling him a villain. Do you even know how insulting that is to the concept of death.

That was about to be me but I turned around and saw it with my gf and it was amazing

I couldn't have said it better myself. While I do disagree with the stance that "he's just doing his job" here, since he makes it absolutely clear to Puss that this is personal, he's still very much fair. It wasn't that he couldn't kill him in the end because it was boring or some weird spiritual reasons, he chose not to kill him because, ironically, Death probably cares more about the lives of others out of everyone else in the film. It would make sense, seeing as how this is still the Shrek universe, where that irony is very much rampant. And I see many people saying that he is, in fact, evil due to him being mad that Puss changed in the end. To me, it looked like he was more frustrated at himself for being majorly responsible for this change, and there's also the fact the almost instantly accepts this outcome anyway. So it's more like he would have been fine with either outcome, but along the way, he was so caught up in the fun of tearing the arrogant cat down that he was briefly caught off guard when that cat escaped him due to his "playing with his food".

I'm not sure either but you're right he's awesome, thanks for watching!
