Man, this is definitely one of the scariest villains Dreamworks has made. That moment when all time slowed down and it’s just his whistle and impending doom. It just sends shivers down your spine.
That part before puss runs away the 2nd time, and we see his fur stand up. They add a sound effect that sounds like glass shards or water freezing over into ice. Those little details are what I love about this movie.
Surprising how a wolf with somewhat human features that looks like he belongs to Zootopia is scarier than many, MANY villains in live action AND animated ones
Everyone is talking about how scary his character design and whistle is, but we should also give props to Wagner Moira for doing such a (terrifyingly) phenomenal job voicing him!
I have watched many movies i have seen many villains never felt fear or anything like this And then a Wolf from a movie for kids appeard his whistle his eyes his voice everything i was scared of him everyone in cinema was...Go watch this movie pure perfection
Someone needs to make a compilation of all this man’s scenes because I got a lot of villains who have made a lot of impressions and this one is fighting to be high on the list
On the last confrontation, just the haunting echo of his whistle filling the whole arena, literally everyone could hear it, it's not just Puss that can. Everyone upon hearing that whistle immediately went on HIGH alert. It means he is real, he isn't just a figment of Puss's imagination, he is something that is real and he exists. Then the shot of him walking through the barrier, and remember, the star was suspended in the air and floating, above the ground at this point. It means he is an otherworldly entity, just materializing when he wants to. Everytime he appears, its just chills up and down my spine.
Well, Death isn't any one person or individual, Death is a force of nature. Although Death can manifest itself in hallucinations (as it did as Puss, Kitty, and Perrito are escaping from Jack Horner's home), it isn’t surprising that it can also physically materialize. The fact that Death had no qualms with killing Puss in front of his ex-lover and childlike friend is very telling as to how cold it is when it pursues its prey.
Before the final confrontation, everyone except Perrito didn't know how Puss had a secret that caused him run in fear from Death. Kitty sees it as a blatant lie since Death is not real and she knows Puss cannot be trusted, Goldilocks doesn't care for what Puss had done since he supposed to be dead, Perrito knows and remain supportive to Puss endeavor but reminds him that Puss had to treasured his last life. Death doesn't aim for other than Puss since Puss challenge Death with his daredevil attitude and because Death got a grudge for Puss stupidity to throw his lives away without any care at all, Death however purposely barring any of Puss companion to get close since they might get in Death's way and Puss had to face Death by himself. The respect Death's give is the sign of Puss redemption since Puss finally able to see the error of his ways while accept Death as a force that he will meet again when he finally passed away not as a foe but as an old friend.
@@stormichow5325 In that scene i think he is real too, but Kitty and Perrito are a bit busy trying to flee. In fact in one of the last shots of him, he grabs two golden coins and cover his eyes (if i remember correctly, thats how greek or romans bury their deads). Maybe what he can do is showing only to wharever he wants.
I think only ones who about to meet it can see him. Everyone were fighting ferociously on the wishing star, that's why they could hear and see him. But he came specifically for Puss
My kids loved this movie. Yet, we had to sleep with my 6-year-old boy. He said he was afraid of the Wolf. Had to bring out our best "Perrito" to console him.
@@sinopale0606 perrito is a cute way to say "doggie"/"little dog" in spanish In the comment context, Eduardo is refering to the character in the movie. The dog is called "Perrito" in the film (English is not my first language so I'm sorry if I messed up with the explanation)

Awwww, Poor baby boy.🥺 I’m 26 and saw this on Christmas weekend with my husband & mom (who’s 63). Surprisingly she wanted to see it over Avatar because she loves Antonio Banderas lol. We loved the movie but my mom said she felt sorry for the little children in the theater because that wolf is nightmare fuel. Again, I’m 26 and haven’t been intimidated by an animated villain since Maleficent. Her introduction terrified me so much, I couldn’t watch Sleeping Beauty fully until I was 16. I think people don’t realize there are spirits behind the things we watch and this wolf embodied the spirit of fear perfectly. Dreamworks hits the nail on the head once again.
8:15 This is the moment when Death swings his staff down at a disarmed Puss, only for Puss to parry with the gatito blade Kitty gave him. The electric guitar that plays here is the same as the one that plays as Kitty's theme when she is first introduced in the movie.
This is how you create a great antagonist. He is literally the opposite of Puss. 1st thing death's design of being white, red eyes , and a simple hood contradicts the vibrant orange and fancy design of Puss. Death prefers the sickle, a very simple tool versus Puss who uses a dueling sabre. Also felines and canines are naturally seen as enemies to one another. To the people involved in making this movie, bravo!!
i'd argue against the simplicity of his weapon. Since that is what highlights how layered he is: His sickle has a nail in the beginning of the blade, where it connects to the handle. That nail allows the blade to curl up into a bladed knuckleduster. Just like how he can fuse the sickles's handles to become a double bladed scythe. He is more than what he originally looked like to Puss, just like how his weapon can BE more that what it originally looked like, and just like HE is more than we assumed
Puss possibly has some trauma after being killed by dogs after failing to con them in that card game, so that could be another reason why Death chose that avatar.
5:51 I love how the drum beat sounds like a realistic human heartbeat. It’s like you’re literally in Puss’s position whenever Death is onscreen; you’re so terrified of him that you can hear your heart beating in your ears.
What makes Death such a great antagonist other than his design, voice, and whistle, is the fact that we don't even know his full potential and power. Death went SO SO easy on Puss, considering the fact that we've seen Death literally summon fire from his sickles, we've seen him literally teleport from place to place, and even combine his two sickles into one. He's a very humble Death God, and that's what makes him so badass!
@@slavishentity6705 I know, but your comment seems like it’s talking about the actual figure of death in the *real world* This person is talking about Death in the Shrek Universe.
8:29 gets me everytime This played when Puss was up against the Giant in the beginning of the film, a demonstration that he was fearless initially, never really caring for his mortality up until his last life After his confrontation with Death and running away from it throughout the film, he’s now ready to face it head on and fight for the life he learned to value and cherish throughout the journey, overcoming his fear What an incredible film
Dubois would probably kick his ass though. However she wouldn't win because he is DEATH Straight up. However he would come out with 95% bruises and cuts
he 100% is...that magically energy flowing around the star vaporizes anything and everything it touches in general...PERIOD...doesnt matter what you are right? ...Death just casually walks through it like its water...
@@shyguyrocks1 After which Puss said 100% "I know I cannot defeat you compadre but I refuse to run anymore" or something akin to this... this statement is why Death left him alone because he finally valued his life over his pride. Puss stands 0 chance vs Death, Death was just having fun. When a high level boss that can cast spells as seen by the fire wall is just meleeing you they are fucking with you hardcore because you are THAT much of a non threat to them and they want it to be more enjoyable lmao...
@@Ceriu it still says a lot about Puss tho. There r animals/ppl who survive near death experiences. Those who do tend to value their lives way more than before. Puss survived one, and proved to death that it wasn’t his time yet. And so death let him live the rest of his life because Puss finally respected and properly feared him enough to value his life.
6:58 had me tearing up. When he was having flashbacks of Kitty and Perrito, realizing how much his last life was truly worth, and how it’s worth fighting for, was emotional. Never expected a Puss In Boots movie to get me on the verge of crying and that’s why I love this movie so much
3:15-3:26 feels like a music for some epic reveal quote, like " I am Death, the end of all beings, undefeatable, unavoidable, boundless, as old as time and only with end of time destined to perish"
Don’t think it’s a coincidence Perrito, the domesticated dog, is foiled by Death, a wolf. Both are catalysts for Puss’s growth, if you think about it. Both perform therapy, though in radically different ways. Death was even more direct with Puss’s flaws - he was clearly slighted by Puss’s arrogance, but paying attention you can see the biggest insult was how *wasteful* Puss was. Puss - this “legend” was dysfunctional - lonely - always doomed to a terrible end. Puss himself took so long to realize it, but Death saw it clearly, and never bought into the “legend”. And so Death hounded him, taught him in the only way they knew how. Our traumas and fears are therapeutic - they are the things that give us the reason, the first and last step to discover our flaws, and work to improve them. Such a phenomenal character.
I picked out that he was the personification of death as soon as he said, “no ones escaped me yet”. Every single time he showed up in the movie I thought, “holy shit”. My heart started beating and I was glued to my seat. I really loved the heavy thumping beat during his scenes. A fantastic antagonist to Puss and an even better portrayal by his voice actor.
I am 99% sure some kid in the theater got nightmares because of this character. He's definitely the most thematically intense antagonist in the Shrek Universe.
I remember watching Kung Fu Panda 2 when I was very young and Lord Shen ended up being one of my favourite characters in animation, despite freaking out at him back when I first watched. I think Death is scarier, but the same effect will definitely apply. The kids having nightmare about Death is gonna have a wild time rewatching this when they're older.
This film should actually win best score at this year's Academy Awards. Heitor Pereira knows what he's doing; probably the best soundtrack of his career thus far.
Genuinely an intimidating villain, his design especially with those red eyes make him scary, on top of that he is one of the few kids villains that makes our protagonist actually bleed showing he shouldn’t be messed with, and of course such a great theme especially the whistle. I also like how at the end when puss overcomes his character arc, he whistled in a higher note making it sound less scary and more beautiful. Hoping they make a villain as good or even better then death for shrek 5!
With all the debate on whether or not this is THE big bad wolf, I think its fitting that in a universe full of the popular fairy tales, THE BIG BAD WOLF being death itself instead of just a form would be SO FITTING
Is is really that "Big Bad Wolf" as "Death" because in the original Shrek films the "Big Bad wolf" was wearing granny's clothing and quite friendly... *AND NOW HE'S FUCKING DEATH?! DID I MISSED SOMETHING HELL-THE-FUCK-O?!*
@@haaxxx9 the granny wolf is just the wolf from little red riding hood(even though I think he was also named big bad wolf but for the sake of separating, he is renamed), this one's from the 3 little piggies, as the case with his whistling being heavy with "blowing his breath"
@@OctavianAfton An it makes more sense! So that's where the other wolf is all this time in fairytales of the Shrek world ahhhh... I'm going to freak the fuck out now so thanks!
Death the wolf has to be one of my top favorite villains. He quietly lurks in the shadow, had a calm but sadistic voice, makes an ominous whistle as he creeps close to Puss, red eyes gleaming before he attacks. He strikes fear in everyone.
Here I thought the start was good, but this movie blew me away with this villain, if I can even call him that. "Death" Is kind of just doing his job, but happens to like scaring the piss out of his victims. I can't explain how tense it felt whenever that whistle popped up.
@AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH now that you put it that way, yeah. Toying with the people he's supposed to kill when it's supposed to be as easy as just taking them then and there supposedly makes him a villain. Not too complicated, but dark enough for people to be scared of him.
@AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I wouldn't say he's evil. He only toys with those who didn't value their lives and thought they were immortal (always cheating death). He stopped chasing Boots after he started caring about the one life he had.
Keep in mind, "Death" in this movie is fed up with Puss no valuing his lives. He even said he is supposed to wait till Puss watses his last life and that he is cheating doing it himself like he is doing. So yes, he is enjoying tormenting Puss like this, but he figures if Puss isn't going to value his life, then "Death" will value his miserable life to the very end.
@aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh6114 well anybody who's a timeless entity is going to get bored and attempt some creativity after a while. All the final destination movies may as well just be explained as "death was bored and some douchey kids seemed ripe for picking."
6:58 Okay...this part of the movie...this part actually got me on a personal level. The scene in which this track played hit me in the feels so hard that it was a delayed reaction. When I listened to the track a day later, I remembered this scene and I ugly cried in confusion because I thought it was pathetic that an animated movie marketed towards kids made me feel that emotional. It was so simple yet so deeply effective, and it was just an absolutely beautiful moment. No spoilers, but man...this movie killed it with the heavy subject matter.
@@MarcMansfield Before Puss is about to fight death on the wishing star, he has flashbacks of all the moments he's had with softpaws and Perrito on their adventure. Making him realize that he doesn't need anymore lives when he's already got the perfect one
I'm so proud of Wagner Moura (the actor who voices the wolf). As a brazilian is so nice to see one of our biggest actors shine even more (for those who don't know him, he was in Narcos)
Não entendi porque não trouxeram ele para dublar em português, não achei que a dublagem de cá combinou muito. Por algum motivo, aqui não tem nenhuma seção legendada
@@acelmo7007 provavelmente por conta do Studio de dublagem que foi contratado, quem escala o elenco de dublagem é eles e o cachê do Wagner Moura não deve ser nada pequeno kkkkkk
Невероятно, это воплощение Смерти действительно вызывает мурашки. Он неотвратим, неизбежен, он всегда следует за тобой и если ты возгордился, отбирает жизнь. Прекрасный образ, саундтрек и голос. Дримворкс снова удивил меня
It’s not just any song. It’s a nursery rhyme. For the love of it I can’t remember it it sounds so close to Let’s play in the forest while the wolf isn’t around. Or silent night I think? It’s one of the two
This movie's villain is so good that i can't believe its in the shrek universe. Nothing against shrek its just this movie make the main character actually scared of the villain, and it sure makes me scared too lol.
Its so creepy, but kinda cool, kinda like destiny 2’s darkness vibes, there is even a distinct chime to it with the whistle, that calling card is so cool
Something that makes Death stand out among so many antagonists like him, is that Puss never really defeats him; at least, not in the conventional sense. There's no "teamwork saves the day" moment, no final battle that ends with the antagonist's demise or incapacitation. Sure, Puss fights back and manages to get hits on him, but even then it's clear that he can't truly beat him- he says so himself- because Death isn't a powerful tyrant or corrupt mortal to take down. He is a force of nature. The only reason Puss pulls through in the end is because he's learned the movie's core lesson and Death sees this, causing his leave. He is never defeated in typical fashion, but simply chooses to let him go. That is so much more bone chilling (but still leaves a very powerful message.)
I still can't believe that they created a horror villain in a mostly non horror movie and ended up being scarier than a lot of horror movies out there. Watching this movie blind was the best decision that I've made
I'm glad I didn't get any spoilers from this wolf, The original voice actor is from my country and a lot of people only talked about this wolf on social media, I didn't even know anything about the story and I saw it the night with my 6 year old cousin... I was really scared of him 🤣
My 6-year-old cousin cried when she saw this wolf for the first time, she was more scared of him (just like me) in the cave scene, but in the final fight, she was even excited hahaha
@@czz151 watched it with my nephew and niece. During his introduction, my niece was scared of him. She'd close her eyes and my nephew would tease her. But just like with your cousin, at the end she's no longer scared of him and even really loves the movie as both of them couldn't stop arguing about who's the best character in the movie.
Boy, he’s one of the coolest villains I’ve ever seen and I love his design and this wolf character looks awesome and scary at the same time he was so intimidating in this movie
I can't express how well the drumbeats in his scores work. Our hearts try to sync with the music we listen to, so the uneven rhythm in "The Smell of Fear" really gives you the physical feeling of panic and stress. Your body really doesn't know how to react- and that's exactly what a panic attack feels like for me. The bittersweet payoff in "He's Here for Me" also always makes me bawl. I lost my little doggie companion last year, and he'd often place his head on my thigh when he'd see me in a state of panic. We miss you buddy
This is gonna be one of the those villians that goes down in history for absolutely traumatizing the living hell out of a bunch of kids, and I'm all for it.
@@DSxGoldSilver oh, I could never agreed more to this after I rewatched the movie with my nephew and niece. My niece was afraid of Death but in the end when Puss wasn't afraid of Death anymore, my niece also wasn't afraid of him anymore. I later asked her what the meaning of this movie was and she said more or less "we can only live once, so we have to use it as best as possible." She's 8. She is the child that they're referring to on their 1 star reviews. And yet she enjoyed and even got the lesson of the movie
@@Blue-Apple-fc9eo oh, abso-fuckng-lutely. We need to stop feed kids with shits. They need actual food that not only tastes really good but also very nutritious. We need to stop giving them stuff like cocomelon and boss baby, and instead give them more stuff like puss in boots 2 and bluey. I just hope that with puss in boots 2 and bluey getting more and more popular, more animation studios will follow both of them, and boy oh boy do I have a very high hope. From the look of it, we might be in the new era of "animation isn't just for brainless" since puss in boots 2 clearly got its inspiration from spiderverse, a movie made by different studio
4:23 I’ve never felt so many chills from a soundtrack in a while😭 (except for EEAAO) When I heard this for the first time in theater, I was in awe. Music is so important to me in movies.
Ooh you know what I just realized? Death is similar to Prowler from the first Spiderverse movie. Both are menacing, make our hero scared to death, and have a very chilling theme song which makes sense when you learned that one of the directors of Spiderverse, I think he's name is Robert something, was helping them with this movie
Death is so terrifying you almost forget this is a kids movie and you know to some degree you can’t really see him as a villain because he’s doing his job which is to take the souls of the deceased. He only despises Puss because he’s a cat and finds the whole “cats have 9 lives” despicable and Puss wasn’t grateful. That is how you make a villain Make them terrifying enough that the very thought of them alone strikes fear into the heart and give them a purpose that justifies them being evil. Disney is going on a tangent with generational trauma that they’ve lost their edge. (Extra: I like how the wolf always happens to be there where Puss is, stating that Death is everywhere and inescapable)
Many call him a villain, some an antagonist and others an antihero, but to all he's simply DEATH!! Not metaphysically, or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically. HE'S STRAIGHT UP DEATH!!!!
@@nanuqo2006 but it makes him less of a character because of it. He's kinda just an inevitably...which makes complete sense. But I'm not sympathetic to death, and I don't hate death. The 2 most important attributes when constructing a villain. Death will forever be memorable. Both because of what he represents, his look, and personality. But he never made me feel sympathy, or hate. Shen did. And those simple emotions won out for me in the end.
Death would be a fantastic hazard in a hypothetical Puss in Boots video game, as a slow-moving danger that constantly approaches when you're low on health or something
@MEMEGUY414 That's sadly the truth. I was baffled at how stupid the plot in Avatar 2 was even compared to the first movie, how many retcons there were and not to mention barely any characters. On the other hand Puss was a pleasant surprise.
Promotion wasn't the best but jts getting a lot of attention now so hopefully it gets bigger as time goes on which I think it is. Easily my second favorite movie of the year
In that scene where puss got cut and was terrified, I genuinely felt fear for some reason i really felt like he was about to die, even tho I knew he was obviously gonna survive and that is so telling how good that villian is, I think the huge part of feeling the fear was music and the way they showed puss fear but for me it was mostly the horror like music heart beating and the sound of the blade against the concrete because I've spent a lot of time playing a horror game dead by daylight and that game really makes your heart beat like crazy, each time the player-killer was getting close you could hear quickening heart beat, music very simillar to wolfs and sometimes that blade, I bet it all reminded me of that and that's why I genuinely felt scared of this villian lmao
Just because someone has a sense of nobility doesn't make them not a villain, to be fair. Though, I wouldn't consider Death to be a villain, more of an anti-hero. It doesn't kill anyone, only those that don't take their life seriously. The movie's main villain, I'd say, is Jack Horner.
I saw the wolf in the trailer and he looked pretty cool to me but never in my wildest dreams would I have expected him to impacted me and everyone else in such a scary way
This is one of the best animated villains I’ve ever seen in my life. Not only is he terrifying, but his actions along with that whistle frightens me a whole lot as he is a true force to me recon with.
Man, the way that the theme switches from fear and predominantly Death's tune to Puss' is sooo good. And it only happens when Kitty's theme is heard. Fan-tas-tic.
The way this colorful animated fairytale parody was able to convey fear is beyond me. The movie would have been a fun time regardless but this contrast made it special in my eyes.
That's dear death, folks. The deep silence in the background, as death lets out his song so soft and sweet. Lurking in its shadows, watching your life everywhere right above your nose. The racing heart is not only of the cat in boots, it transfers in us too. This is frightening and incredible.
I love how at 2:20 you can almost hear the words, "Run" as if Death isn't actually telling Puss that but instead Puss' mind telling him to "Run!" Or something like that, still cool though!
If this came out when I was younger, I definitely could see myself getting scared shitless at this Good that DreamWorks made a dark villain that actually drew blood. Need more scary stuff like that in kids movies nowadays
Alright, I just might be the only one to realize, but at 3:06 once Death stands in the cave, it forms his eye if you look closely enough. The crystals/rocks are his dark fur, the red is the color of his eyes, and his figure is his pupil. Maybe a coincidence, but if not, that is a shockingly crazy detail they added..
Man, how I missed these kind of villains, and one of my favorites in a while. Better than how Disney is doing, Dreamworks just went wild and made a splendid movie with a great antagonist with others as well
Gosh I don't think I've ever been scared of an animated character before. This movie is phenomenal and so is this character. Despite all the comments I don't think he's the villain (Jack horner i think is the true villain) He's definitely an antagonist but I don't think he's villain. He's the embodiment of death which I don't think is inherently evil. Idk it might just be me, feel free to say otherwise. Anyways this movie is ridiculously good and I can't wait to see what else DreamWorks has in store.
@@thewilli566 I just read the whole legend and holy shit that origin story was insane. I do wish that whenever Death is far from puss the whistle sounds close but when he's close then the whistle sounds far away, just like the legend
Man, this is definitely one of the scariest villains Dreamworks has made. That moment when all time slowed down and it’s just his whistle and impending doom. It just sends shivers down your spine.

Awwww, Poor baby boy.🥺 I’m 26 and saw this on Christmas weekend with my husband & mom (who’s 63). Surprisingly she wanted to see it over Avatar because she loves Antonio Banderas lol. We loved the movie but my mom said she felt sorry for the little children in the theater because that wolf is nightmare fuel. Again, I’m 26 and haven’t been intimidated by an animated villain since Maleficent. Her introduction terrified me so much, I couldn’t watch Sleeping Beauty fully until I was 16. I think people don’t realize there are spirits behind the things we watch and this wolf embodied the spirit of fear perfectly. Dreamworks hits the nail on the head once again.
8:15
This is the moment when Death swings his staff down at a disarmed Puss, only for Puss to parry with the gatito blade Kitty gave him. The electric guitar that plays here is the same as the one that plays as Kitty's theme when she is first introduced in the movie.
Awesome!
And also "You've been crimed"
This is how you create a great antagonist. He is literally the opposite of Puss. 1st thing death's design of being white, red eyes , and a simple hood contradicts the vibrant orange and fancy design of Puss. Death prefers the sickle, a very simple tool versus Puss who uses a dueling sabre. Also felines and canines are naturally seen as enemies to one another. To the people involved in making this movie, bravo!!
A sickle is also a tool for harvesting, like the scythe of the usual personification of death.
@@AmicusAdastra begone bot
@@AmicusAdastra sus frenchy
i'd argue against the simplicity of his weapon. Since that is what highlights how layered he is:
His sickle has a nail in the beginning of the blade, where it connects to the handle. That nail allows the blade to curl up into a bladed knuckleduster. Just like how he can fuse the sickles's handles to become a double bladed scythe. He is more than what he originally looked like to Puss, just like how his weapon can BE more that what it originally looked like, and just like HE is more than we assumed
Puss possibly has some trauma after being killed by dogs after failing to con them in that card game, so that could be another reason why Death chose that avatar.
4:22 - 4:33
I cannot describe the amount of chills I got during this part of the film
True, I can't describe the feeling but it makes my stomach warm
It was like a remix
@@AmicusAdastra good to hear the kids still loves puss in boots. The first movie is one of my fav childhood movies
@@PrimalZeno ayo?
I didn't even have time to count my goosebumps! Very cool villain. I like this.
5:51 I love how the drum beat sounds like a realistic human heartbeat. It’s like you’re literally in Puss’s position whenever Death is onscreen; you’re so terrified of him that you can hear your heart beating in your ears.
"What's the matter? Lives flashing before your eyes?"
"Pick it up."
Pick. It. Up"
I love his lines so much. So badass. He's such a terrifying and threatening menace.
Just. One.
These lines go so hard FOR NO REASON
1:34
What makes Death such a great antagonist other than his design, voice, and whistle, is the fact that we don't even know his full potential and power. Death went SO SO easy on Puss, considering the fact that we've seen Death literally summon fire from his sickles, we've seen him literally teleport from place to place, and even combine his two sickles into one. He's a very humble Death God, and that's what makes him so badass!
That's probably why he says "WHY THE HELL DID I PLAY WITH MY FOOD!?" in Spanish
It's death. It's literally death. We know it's full potential and power. I think death is at least planetary level.
@@slavishentity6705 I’m pretty sure he meant the movie Death not the actual one
@@James-ig6yf In the movie death is actually death.
@@slavishentity6705 I know, but your comment seems like it’s talking about the actual figure of death in the *real world* This person is talking about Death in the Shrek Universe.
8:29 gets me everytime
This played when Puss was up against the Giant in the beginning of the film, a demonstration that he was fearless initially, never really caring for his mortality up until his last life
After his confrontation with Death and running away from it throughout the film, he’s now ready to face it head on and fight for the life he learned to value and cherish throughout the journey, overcoming his fear
What an incredible film
I think me and 99% people like the design and chills this character gives.
@@AmicusAdastra found the furry
You've got a point though
Him legitimately being Death means he's the most powerful DreamWorks character to be introduced so far.
Dubois would probably kick his ass though. However she wouldn't win because he is DEATH
Straight up.
However he would come out with 95% bruises and cuts
And Puss clashed with him and lived.
What a legend indeed.
he 100% is...that magically energy flowing around the star vaporizes anything and everything it touches in general...PERIOD...doesnt matter what you are right? ...Death just casually walks through it like its water...
@@shyguyrocks1 After which Puss said 100% "I know I cannot defeat you compadre but I refuse to run anymore" or something akin to this... this statement is why Death left him alone because he finally valued his life over his pride. Puss stands 0 chance vs Death, Death was just having fun. When a high level boss that can cast spells as seen by the fire wall is just meleeing you they are fucking with you hardcore because you are THAT much of a non threat to them and they want it to be more enjoyable lmao...
@@Ceriu it still says a lot about Puss tho. There r animals/ppl who survive near death experiences. Those who do tend to value their lives way more than before. Puss survived one, and proved to death that it wasn’t his time yet. And so death let him live the rest of his life because Puss finally respected and properly feared him enough to value his life.
6:58 had me tearing up. When he was having flashbacks of Kitty and Perrito, realizing how much his last life was truly worth, and how it’s worth fighting for, was emotional. Never expected a Puss In Boots movie to get me on the verge of crying and that’s why I love this movie so much
Same here
Straight-up changing my life for the better, this film
Who would've thought a comic relief character would later turn out to be one of the deepest characters in the Shrek universe?
3:15-3:26 feels like a music for some epic reveal quote, like " I am Death, the end of all beings, undefeatable, unavoidable, boundless, as old as time and only with end of time destined to perish"
It does play when the wishing star is found.
THE WAY HE WHISTLES THO, THAT IS JUST ABSOLUTE MADNESS.
Don’t think it’s a coincidence Perrito, the domesticated dog, is foiled by Death, a wolf.
Both are catalysts for Puss’s growth, if you think about it. Both perform therapy, though in radically different ways. Death was even more direct with Puss’s flaws - he was clearly slighted by Puss’s arrogance, but paying attention you can see the biggest insult was how *wasteful* Puss was. Puss - this “legend” was dysfunctional - lonely - always doomed to a terrible end. Puss himself took so long to realize it, but Death saw it clearly, and never bought into the “legend”.
And so Death hounded him, taught him in the only way they knew how. Our traumas and fears are therapeutic - they are the things that give us the reason, the first and last step to discover our flaws, and work to improve them.
Such a phenomenal character.
nerd
I picked out that he was the personification of death as soon as he said, “no ones escaped me yet”. Every single time he showed up in the movie I thought, “holy shit”. My heart started beating and I was glued to my seat. I really loved the heavy thumping beat during his scenes.
A fantastic antagonist to Puss and an even better portrayal by his voice actor.
I am 99% sure some kid in the theater got nightmares because of this character. He's definitely the most thematically intense antagonist in the Shrek Universe.
for real! a little girl screamed out loud at one point in my theater and I think we were all on the edge of our seat
I remember watching Kung Fu Panda 2 when I was very young and Lord Shen ended up being one of my favourite characters in animation, despite freaking out at him back when I first watched.
I think Death is scarier, but the same effect will definitely apply. The kids having nightmare about Death is gonna have a wild time rewatching this when they're older.
@@kor6514 Death and Shen are up there as my favorite western animated movie antagonists
@@kor6514 not only are they color scheme similar but the theme as well shen was basically the merchant of death when you think about it
Nah not only in the Shrek universe, but in the animated kids movie/show in general
This film should actually win best score at this year's Academy Awards. Heitor Pereira knows what he's doing; probably the best soundtrack of his career thus far.
best score and animation, hell movie of the year as well. Actually refreshing to get good writing out of hollywood nowadays.
OST was super fucking good, I was jamming to it from the beginning to the end.
Genuinely an intimidating villain, his design especially with those red eyes make him scary, on top of that he is one of the few kids villains that makes our protagonist actually bleed showing he shouldn’t be messed with, and of course such a great theme especially the whistle. I also like how at the end when puss overcomes his character arc, he whistled in a higher note making it sound less scary and more beautiful. Hoping they make a villain as good or even better then death for shrek 5!
With all the debate on whether or not this is THE big bad wolf, I think its fitting that in a universe full of the popular fairy tales, THE BIG BAD WOLF being death itself instead of just a form would be SO FITTING
Is is really that "Big Bad Wolf" as "Death" because in the original Shrek films the "Big Bad wolf" was wearing granny's clothing and quite friendly...
*AND NOW HE'S FUCKING DEATH?! DID I MISSED SOMETHING HELL-THE-FUCK-O?!*
@@haaxxx9 nah Death the Wolf and the big bad wolf are different
@@haaxxx9 the granny wolf is just the wolf from little red riding hood(even though I think he was also named big bad wolf but for the sake of separating, he is renamed), this one's from the 3 little piggies, as the case with his whistling being heavy with "blowing his breath"
They’re two different characters that’s how how realized something was up in the trailers since we already saw the big bad wolf in Shrek
@@OctavianAfton An it makes more sense! So that's where the other wolf is all this time in fairytales of the Shrek world ahhhh... I'm going to freak the fuck out now so thanks!
Death the wolf has to be one of my top favorite villains. He quietly lurks in the shadow, had a calm but sadistic voice, makes an ominous whistle as he creeps close to Puss, red eyes gleaming before he attacks. He strikes fear in everyone.
Got that quietly lurking in the shadows part right. He's even in the opening scene as Puss fights the giant.
One of the villains that really manages to cause terror and chills in a children's movie and adding the soundtrack is terrifying
Fun fact, if you pair it up well the beginning of "he's here for me" where there are soft drums banging, it goes to the beat of a clock ticking.
“Pick it up.” Iconic
Here I thought the start was good, but this movie blew me away with this villain, if I can even call him that. "Death" Is kind of just doing his job, but happens to like scaring the piss out of his victims. I can't explain how tense it felt whenever that whistle popped up.
@AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH now that you put it that way, yeah. Toying with the people he's supposed to kill when it's supposed to be as easy as just taking them then and there supposedly makes him a villain. Not too complicated, but dark enough for people to be scared of him.
@AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I wouldn't say he's evil. He only toys with those who didn't value their lives and thought they were immortal (always cheating death). He stopped chasing Boots after he started caring about the one life he had.
Keep in mind, "Death" in this movie is fed up with Puss no valuing his lives. He even said he is supposed to wait till Puss watses his last life and that he is cheating doing it himself like he is doing. So yes, he is enjoying tormenting Puss like this, but he figures if Puss isn't going to value his life, then "Death" will value his miserable life to the very end.
@aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh6114 well anybody who's a timeless entity is going to get bored and attempt some creativity after a while. All the final destination movies may as well just be explained as "death was bored and some douchey kids seemed ripe for picking."
He is a villain. He's breaking his own rules for a good fight, and leaves when he doesn't get it.
6:58 Okay...this part of the movie...this part actually got me on a personal level. The scene in which this track played hit me in the feels so hard that it was a delayed reaction. When I listened to the track a day later, I remembered this scene and I ugly cried in confusion because I thought it was pathetic that an animated movie marketed towards kids made me feel that emotional. It was so simple yet so deeply effective, and it was just an absolutely beautiful moment. No spoilers, but man...this movie killed it with the heavy subject matter.
what scene did this play in again? saw the movie a couple days ago and already forgot
maybe I need to see it again for a refresh lol
@@MarcMansfield Before Puss is about to fight death on the wishing star, he has flashbacks of all the moments he's had with softpaws and Perrito on their adventure. Making him realize that he doesn't need anymore lives when he's already got the perfect one
Just because it's marked "for kids" doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed by everyone
"Lives flashing before your eyes?"
"No, just one."
@@jonathanmendezperez7818 That was good, but that line didn't give me the kind of goosebumps that "Pick it up," did when Puss said it.
I'm so proud of Wagner Moura (the actor who voices the wolf). As a brazilian is so nice to see one of our biggest actors shine even more (for those who don't know him, he was in Narcos)
Não entendi porque não trouxeram ele para dublar em português, não achei que a dublagem de cá combinou muito. Por algum motivo, aqui não tem nenhuma seção legendada
@@acelmo7007 provavelmente por conta do Studio de dublagem que foi contratado, quem escala o elenco de dublagem é eles e o cachê do Wagner Moura não deve ser nada pequeno kkkkkk
De acordo com a própria DreamWorks foi simplesmente um questão de conflito de agendas.
I’ve never heard his work before, but as an American, may I say his work is genuinely impressive.
Невероятно, это воплощение Смерти действительно вызывает мурашки. Он неотвратим, неизбежен, он всегда следует за тобой и если ты возгордился, отбирает жизнь. Прекрасный образ, саундтрек и голос. Дримворкс снова удивил меня
Puss: Why do you whistle?
Wolf: Oh that, it's a song that been stuck in my head for awhile now. Effective isn't it?
It’s not just any song. It’s a nursery rhyme. For the love of it I can’t remember it it sounds so close to
Let’s play in the forest while the wolf isn’t around. Or silent night I think? It’s one of the two
@@loganmclean3805 I remember someone saying that it was Silent Night.
@@redshamrock5670 now that you mention it, it does sound a lot like it
This movie's villain is so good that i can't believe its in the shrek universe. Nothing against shrek its just this movie make the main character actually scared of the villain, and it sure makes me scared too lol.
Its so creepy, but kinda cool, kinda like destiny 2’s darkness vibes, there is even a distinct chime to it with the whistle, that calling card is so cool
He was extremely entertaining. I didn’t expect him to be so damn cool. I think I laughed several times just because his dialogue is really good.
Something that makes Death stand out among so many antagonists like him, is that Puss never really defeats him; at least, not in the conventional sense. There's no "teamwork saves the day" moment, no final battle that ends with the antagonist's demise or incapacitation. Sure, Puss fights back and manages to get hits on him, but even then it's clear that he can't truly beat him- he says so himself- because Death isn't a powerful tyrant or corrupt mortal to take down. He is a force of nature. The only reason Puss pulls through in the end is because he's learned the movie's core lesson and Death sees this, causing his leave. He is never defeated in typical fashion, but simply chooses to let him go. That is so much more bone chilling (but still leaves a very powerful message.)
The last time I saw a very menacing villian from dream works was lord shen and death is up there when it comes to the scariest dream work villian
I loved the scene where the wolf put coins in his eyes to depict charon
I still can't believe that they created a horror villain in a mostly non horror movie and ended up being scarier than a lot of horror movies out there. Watching this movie blind was the best decision that I've made
I'm glad I didn't get any spoilers from this wolf, The original voice actor is from my country and a lot of people only talked about this wolf on social media, I didn't even know anything about the story and I saw it the night with my 6 year old cousin... I was really scared of him 🤣
My 6-year-old cousin cried when she saw this wolf for the first time, she was more scared of him (just like me) in the cave scene, but in the final fight, she was even excited hahaha
The wolf at times looked like a father scolding his son, in this case, the cat, for having messed up with his extra lives 😅
Morally speaking, anyone would be terrified if Pablo Escobar/Captain Nascimento was after your head 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@czz151 watched it with my nephew and niece. During his introduction, my niece was scared of him. She'd close her eyes and my nephew would tease her. But just like with your cousin, at the end she's no longer scared of him and even really loves the movie as both of them couldn't stop arguing about who's the best character in the movie.
Boy, he’s one of the coolest villains I’ve ever seen and I love his design and this wolf character looks awesome and scary at the same time he was so intimidating in this movie
I can't express how well the drumbeats in his scores work. Our hearts try to sync with the music we listen to, so the uneven rhythm in "The Smell of Fear" really gives you the physical feeling of panic and stress. Your body really doesn't know how to react- and that's exactly what a panic attack feels like for me.
The bittersweet payoff in "He's Here for Me" also always makes me bawl. I lost my little doggie companion last year, and he'd often place his head on my thigh when he'd see me in a state of panic. We miss you buddy
This is gonna be one of the those villians that goes down in history for absolutely traumatizing the living hell out of a bunch of kids, and I'm all for it.
Dude, reading all of the 1 star reviews are funny because it's just parents angry at this movie for scarring their children
@@gdottothegamer1001 meanwhile the kid is going to love the movie while growing up and will look back as a teen how funny it was how scared he was.
@@DSxGoldSilver oh, I could never agreed more to this after I rewatched the movie with my nephew and niece. My niece was afraid of Death but in the end when Puss wasn't afraid of Death anymore, my niece also wasn't afraid of him anymore. I later asked her what the meaning of this movie was and she said more or less "we can only live once, so we have to use it as best as possible." She's 8. She is the child that they're referring to on their 1 star reviews. And yet she enjoyed and even got the lesson of the movie
@@gdottothegamer1001 If your nephew gets an message of a movie that suits for teens and young adults then kids movies has no excuse of being terrible.
@@Blue-Apple-fc9eo oh, abso-fuckng-lutely. We need to stop feed kids with shits. They need actual food that not only tastes really good but also very nutritious. We need to stop giving them stuff like cocomelon and boss baby, and instead give them more stuff like puss in boots 2 and bluey. I just hope that with puss in boots 2 and bluey getting more and more popular, more animation studios will follow both of them, and boy oh boy do I have a very high hope. From the look of it, we might be in the new era of "animation isn't just for brainless" since puss in boots 2 clearly got its inspiration from spiderverse, a movie made by different studio

That's what makes him great
Such a missed opportunity that its not called "Dance with death"
True and funny
Like re:zero "battle dance"?
Ooh you know what I just realized? Death is similar to Prowler from the first Spiderverse movie. Both are menacing, make our hero scared to death, and have a very chilling theme song which makes sense when you learned that one of the directors of Spiderverse, I think he's name is Robert something, was helping them with this movie
guy was so good they needed 6 soundtracks all involving him being the grim reaper to Puss in boots.
Death is so terrifying you almost forget this is a kids movie and you know to some degree you can’t really see him as a villain because he’s doing his job which is to take the souls of the deceased. He only despises Puss because he’s a cat and finds the whole “cats have 9 lives” despicable and Puss wasn’t grateful.
That is how you make a villain
Make them terrifying enough that the very thought of them alone strikes fear into the heart and give them a purpose that justifies them being evil.
Disney is going on a tangent with generational trauma that they’ve lost their edge.
(Extra: I like how the wolf always happens to be there where Puss is, stating that Death is everywhere and inescapable)
Many call him a villain, some an antagonist and others an antihero, but to all he's simply DEATH!! Not metaphysically, or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically. HE'S STRAIGHT UP DEATH!!!!
I just got back from seeing this movie in the theater and I already want to watch it again just because of how good this character was.
Best DreamWorks villain ever, by a long shot
I prefer him to shen
I think him, Shen and the Fairy Godmother are the best ones
Shen is a bit better to me. Simply because we get more screentime. But goddamn other than that they are near equal.
@@Crispifordthe3rd515 Death's short screentime makes him scarier when he actually appears and more memorable
@@nanuqo2006 but it makes him less of a character because of it. He's kinda just an inevitably...which makes complete sense. But I'm not sympathetic to death, and I don't hate death. The 2 most important attributes when constructing a villain.
Death will forever be memorable. Both because of what he represents, his look, and personality. But he never made me feel sympathy, or hate. Shen did. And those simple emotions won out for me in the end.
Death would be a fantastic hazard in a hypothetical Puss in Boots video game, as a slow-moving danger that constantly approaches when you're low on health or something
Why the hell hasn't this movie hit number 1 yet?
@MEMEGUY414 That's sadly the truth. I was baffled at how stupid the plot in Avatar 2 was even compared to the first movie, how many retcons there were and not to mention barely any characters. On the other hand Puss was a pleasant surprise.
@MEME GUY yup. People like watching a CGI clusterfuck instead of intelligent writing.
Promotion wasn't the best but jts getting a lot of attention now so hopefully it gets bigger as time goes on which I think it is. Easily my second favorite movie of the year
The wolf puts almost every animated disney villains from the past decade to shame.
In that scene where puss got cut and was terrified, I genuinely felt fear for some reason i really felt like he was about to die, even tho I knew he was obviously gonna survive and that is so telling how good that villian is, I think the huge part of feeling the fear was music and the way they showed puss fear but for me it was mostly the horror like music heart beating and the sound of the blade against the concrete because I've spent a lot of time playing a horror game dead by daylight and that game really makes your heart beat like crazy, each time the player-killer was getting close you could hear quickening heart beat, music very simillar to wolfs and sometimes that blade, I bet it all reminded me of that and that's why I genuinely felt scared of this villian lmao
Kinda like how people mistake the Antagonist with the Villian in the movie.
Just because someone has a sense of nobility doesn't make them not a villain, to be fair. Though, I wouldn't consider Death to be a villain, more of an anti-hero. It doesn't kill anyone, only those that don't take their life seriously. The movie's main villain, I'd say, is Jack Horner.
It was a long time i didn't felt a villain like this one
The music is just one of many amazing features of that masterpiece of filming art.
Strange, isn’t it? Seeing and facing death can actually be the greatest fear of all
I saw the wolf in the trailer and he looked pretty cool to me but never in my wildest dreams would I have expected him to impacted me and everyone else in such a scary way
The fact he never bother with suprise attack and always announced his presence through whistle is amazing. He really coming for you straight up
4:06 one of my fav parts
Wolf has gotta be the most terrifying Shrek villain to date.
I realized that in many moments the music has beats similar to the beat of a heart. wow!
This is one of the best animated villains I’ve ever seen in my life. Not only is he terrifying, but his actions along with that whistle frightens me a whole lot as he is a true force to me recon with.
I love watching movies but it's mostly as entertainment. Puss in Boots 2 is the first time i'm truly hold my breath while watching a movie
No matter how famous, no matter how big of an impact you've made, none of it matters to Death, he WILL come for you in the end.
Is no one really going to talk about how insane it was to hear this part in the movie theater? Even I was scared to death 8:54
I absolutely loved the wolf and what he represents in the movie
Man, the way that the theme switches from fear and predominantly Death's tune to Puss' is sooo good. And it only happens when Kitty's theme is heard. Fan-tas-tic.
The way this colorful animated fairytale parody was able to convey fear is beyond me. The movie would have been a fun time regardless but this contrast made it special in my eyes.
This was the first and only time I have ever been legitimately creeped out and even a bit scared of an animated movie villain
Can we just agree that this is the best villain ever?
I think the fact death is always smiling always wide eyed and all puss does in the end is smile back at death knowing he can’t beat him.
This gave me chills down my spine the whistling just felt so MENACING
the shenanigans they do with his eyes are spooky too
"I just LOVE the smell of fear!"
That's dear death, folks. The deep silence in the background, as death lets out his song so soft and sweet. Lurking in its shadows, watching your life everywhere right above your nose. The racing heart is not only of the cat in boots, it transfers in us too. This is frightening and incredible.
Finally, another animated villain to sit at the top of my list next to Lord Shen, I'm sure I like more but those two will never leave my head
bro if they ever decide to give death wolf a movie I promise you to god I will watch that sucker 8 times bruh🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love how at 2:20 you can almost hear the words, "Run" as if Death isn't actually telling Puss that but instead Puss' mind telling him to "Run!"
Or something like that, still cool though!
Then why is it in Death’s voice?
If this came out when I was younger, I definitely could see myself getting scared shitless at this
Good that DreamWorks made a dark villain that actually drew blood. Need more scary stuff like that in kids movies nowadays
The best animated villain in the last 5 years, STRAIGHT UP.
Alright, I just might be the only one to realize, but at 3:06 once Death stands in the cave, it forms his eye if you look closely enough. The crystals/rocks are his dark fur, the red is the color of his eyes, and his figure is his pupil.
Maybe a coincidence, but if not, that is a shockingly crazy detail they added..
With this guy, its not a matter of IF he gets you but WHEN he gets you, and thats probably the scariest thing
Man, how I missed these kind of villains, and one of my favorites in a while. Better than how Disney is doing, Dreamworks just went wild and made a splendid movie with a great antagonist with others as well
Disney: Surprise!! I'm the villain, bet you didn't expect that..... Right??? Right??? RIGHT???
DreamWorks: I'm DEATH Simple and Straight (Whistles)
The fight final fight score is so next level
Death is up there with the best of the BEST DreamWorks villains. Like Shen, Tai Lung, Titan, Fairy Godmother and Rumple Stilskin.
Gosh I don't think I've ever been scared of an animated character before. This movie is phenomenal and so is this character. Despite all the comments I don't think he's the villain (Jack horner i think is the true villain) He's definitely an antagonist but I don't think he's villain. He's the embodiment of death which I don't think is inherently evil. Idk it might just be me, feel free to say otherwise. Anyways this movie is ridiculously good and I can't wait to see what else DreamWorks has in store.
and just when i thought a fucking peacock voiced by gary oldman couldn't get any more intimidating.
THIS IS APPARENTLY NOW HAPPENING.
Uno de los villanos que en verdad logra causar miedo y temor y sumándole el soundtrack es terrorífico
Aparte se inspiraron en la leyenda de el silbon puedes buscar en wikipedia y hasta con dross sobre el tema
@@thewilli566 I just read the whole legend and holy shit that origin story was insane. I do wish that whenever Death is far from puss the whistle sounds close but when he's close then the whistle sounds far away, just like the legend
This movie was pushing the pg boundries and I love it
Corre Corre, Gatito.
I wish that there was more of his famous whistle in there, but other than that it was pretty cool
Everyone says death was a villian, but he seemed more like a teacher bu the end lol
