@@BloxyCola-gg5 With those Conditions Death would not have gone after him, it's because of his over confidence and Arrogance,plus blatant disregard for his lives. That brought Death down on him
A cool touch is the whistle melody sounds incomplete, like you’re waiting for the final note to play, but it never comes. A lullaby you never hear the end of because you fall asleep.
The fact that Death was just playing with puss and could have killed him at any moment makes him even better I mean he even admitted it after the last fight although he said it in Spanish saying, Why The Hell Do I Play With My Food, gives me chills badass🤘
While that is true. He wasn't there to kill him. He was there to make Puss understand that he needs to stop being wasteful with his lives and appreciate the last one he has or "Death will come knocking" so he plays into that fear aspect by chasing him down until he realises it. As he keeps joking about death even to his face when it could happen. Its also why he keeps talking about how he loves the smell of fear and when they run. Because he wants them to be scared of death as it's always there. But he stood up at the end and thought his fears so he let him go. With the reminder that he WILL come back one day as Death always does.
@@Saelria He was, he states it multiple times. He's even angry when he sees him not afraid of him anymore. He wanted to kill him first because he thinks that 9 lives for cats are not "fair", and second and most importantly because he has wasted 8 of them for nothing, without understanding how precious those lives were. Never in the movie Death makes you think that he wants to change Puss' behaviour. He could have killed him the first time, but he likes playing with his "food". Still, I don't think he is a "villain". Maybe a sadist, but he gave Puss 8 chances to learn not to be an idiot but he didn't. Way more chances than a normal being.
@@simonredforce He's angry when he sees that Puss is truly afraid of him at last. He was angry since he had wasted his lives repeatedly and never valued any of them, but now that puss was brave enough to challenge death despite his fear, now that puss genuinely feared him rather than avoiding/ignoring him, that "arrogant legend who thought he was immortal" was gone.
One thing I realized after this movie If you want to make your wolf 🐺 Noble give them blue eyes, yellow if you want to make them seem wild and animalistic. And Red if you want to turn them into a walking Nightmare.
I love when Twoflower tells Rincewind that he was teaching Mort how to play a game and didn't knew how to translate it so he just told him that it's sounds like "something you would throw across the river", at first I didn't knew what he meant but then my friend explained me that it was bridge
I just remember when Puss tells Kitty 'Death is after me' and Jack Horner goes 'I've been called a lot of things, but never Death. I like it!' And we all just want to facepalm. Jack, you're a jerk, but you're nowhere NEAR the scariest guy after Puss right now.
@@Stanfordscienceman I mean the reason death was after puss wasnt cause he was arrogant in one life. He made it clear hes more than happy to wait for one person to die. Jack Horner having a single long arrogant life is different than Puss having 8 lives and still remaining the same about it
Of all the films to bring back the trademark Dreamworks Iconic Villain staple, a sequel, to a spinoff, of a sequel!? Who would've thought that the villain in a modern day kid's film would be none other than Death himself?
One of the only times, I've seen a character so genuinely terrified, they didn't even try to keep fighting, and instead they ran. And not just once, but multiple times.
Isn't it refreshing, fellow commentators to experience an antagonist character that: Doesn't wisecrack with the protagonist Doesn't have a comedic relief lackey Is shown to be legitimately threatening Terrifies the protagonist who (also takes him seriously) Looks as threatening as he's made out to be There hasn't been a lot of these kinds of villains over the past 10 years. Even Lord Shen doesn't compare and he's a favorite
Ikr?? , i just cannot believe that how much he overpassed Lord Shen and Tai Lung, these two legendaries Dreamworks villain, it really tells how well done his character IS (in my opinion btw)
The lesson of the movie is that as much as you should take your life seriously, YOU DO NOT DISRESPECT DEATH. The fact that the movie, treated his portrayal with such care and taste is NECESSARY to hammer down the message.
I prefer Lord Shen and Tai Lung to Death, tbh. He is definitely top 5 but he doesnt have the complexity of the other two, which works for him, but I just prefer how the first two were written.
Wolf whistle literally made Puss, the cat who couldn't be afraid of jumping from any height or of fighting anyone, to fear taking a single step, and by making a fight with a fodder character feel like one wrong move and Wolf would be behind you to finish you off. He doesn't need to have a evil laugh or an evil plot... His presence tells you, "I, death, will come for you, you can either give up your life, or I will gladly take it"
I just love the actual fact that Death is merely treating Puss as his "plaything", because Death cannot be calculated, it is a mere concept, and a concept's power could be considered "infinite". That whistle is to make Puss more and more anxious by what is coming to him very rapidly. Since Death was never seen before, Puss couldn't know the danger of probably hearing a whistle close by.

Bro, the message of this movie is very strong and I've never seen anyone else talk about it, the scene where puss says he's in his last life and he's very scared, reminds you of the day you understood that you exist and will die, the wolf later says he'll see himself with puss again one day, and that kind of count to any of us
Agreed I love that mature scene too that Puss finally learn his lesson and he can defeat Death then he say "pick it up" that he never stop fighting Death who comes after him all the time
The big bad wolf is just so fucking awesome his voice, his look, his personality is just so badass "he's here for me" is the best theme for when he's on screen in my opinion
@@wert556 I can think of no other fairy tale character that would be a wolf plus the big bad wolf is the villain to a lot of fairy tales so it makes sense that he'd be such a symbol of fear across this universe
I like how they took the concept of the Wolf, the most common, mundane, uninteresting fairy tale villain ever, and made him extremely fascinating, powerful, and terrifying. They played into his aesthetic perfectly, characterizing him as real predator (get it?) yet retaining his legendary presence. Being a wolf also has parallels to Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of funeral ordinances, who had the head of a jackal/wolf. In Egyptian mythology, Anubis would also judge the worthiness of a soul entering the afterlife, similar to how Death in this movie condemns Puss for squandering his previous eight lives. Of course, it also plays into the usual cat vs. dog trope in most cartoons, except this time, it's much more terrifying. Not only is it brilliant, but it also coverts a familiar character into a new threat, making us even more afraid of the Big Bad Wolf compared to his typical fairy tale incarnation. Speaking of fairy tales, making the connection between the Wolf and Death paints those original stories in a much different light as well. HOW did they manage to make this character so conceptually interesting?
When I was watching the movie I wasn't even paying attention to the music because it blends into the scenes so perfectly, hearing it on it's own is just incredible! It's so intimidating and leaves you with a lingering sense of dread even afterwards.
This is a chic detail, at the moment 4:28 (when the puss defends himself with the help of the gatito blade), the theme of the kitty soft pow, who gave him this blade, suddenly bursts in. (Clarification, a similar motif was already heard in the film when kitty first appeared)
I didn't pay attention to the soundtrack while watching the film, but the thumping, conspicuous rhythm of the music really fits Death's "slow but steady" thing. He takes his time to get to wherever he needs to be while following the main character, knowing that Puss can't defeat him however much he can try. Death is a truly scary villain who knows EXACTLY what he's doing, and how to do so.
Throughout the entire movie I was even freaked out by Death appearing in front of Puss in Boots. Like it is legitimately a terrifying concept of having Death hunt you down for sport; appearing at random while whistling an eerie, airy, incomplete lullaby and toying with you. Another thing is that the animation style changing to a more stop motion esc feel during the fight scenes is genius. The scenes are more intense, all the actions seem more deliberate and it makes a character getting hit a much bigger deal.
I had gone into Puss 'n Boots with no expectiations or whatsoever, and honestly have been blown away by the attention to detail in the animations themselves, the changing styles of drawing, the music, the theme, and the characters all have played a magnificent role in shaping out the story that, while is about anthropomorphic animals, mimics the experience of humans far too well. That said, The Wolf has got to be what has stolen the show for me! His ominous presence, and foreboding existence make you question the very fabric of misery in life, whether or not you have firsthand experienced it. It is easily my favourite film in 2022 alongside The Menu.
Why does the whistle sound so familiar somehow? OKAY! I just realized that his whistle sounds a lot like "Wheels on the bus". I don't know if that was the intention, but something about how familiar it is makes it even creepier...
Hmm, have you been playing Witcher 3 perhaps? (And specifically Hearts of Stone dlc) 'Cause the first thing that comes to my mind is Gaunter O'dimm's whistle, they're a bit similar
@@Morrow16 that could be it. But I don't remember playing Witcher 3 for a long time. I'll have to relisten to it. Okay I just heard it again, and no, it doesn't sound as similar as you think.

When Puss first meets Wolf, I’m reminded of OG death from Supernatural. They both nonchalantly brush off the MC’s bravado like it’s nothing as they eat something. And funny enough they have the same type of weapon; aka a hand sickle.

I like to think the three little pigs would instead be metaphors for different responses to death The first pig tries to run,fearing his life,and is too worried about stalling death to live his life at all. The second pig is cocky,and begins taking risks,eventually being caught off guard by death. The third pig is calm about deaths approach,he already knows his life will eventually be cut short,so he appreciates what time he has left.
Рік тому
I dunno, the wolf villain feels very overused by this point
@ - Personally, I thought it was a unique twist on a rather mundane villain idea. It's just familiar enough to be recognizable but with enough difference to remain memorable, resulting in a cool villain.
Something not talked about enough is that the whistle melody never finishes, like he was playing with Puss. The only time it completes is in the final fight, where he decided he end the chase. Death's melody ended when he decided to kill him man that's so fire
Not sure if it was done on purpose, but the three big thumps thought this whole thing sound (to me) somewhat like a heart beat, which, intentional or not, I think is a really cool detail!!
Usually a person's heartbeat attempts to match the song in tempo, even if not exactly, so all things considered the composer just made use of that little fact
I think it's funny how the big bad wolf and the 3 bears are already in-universe characters in shrek, but these are different characters from them. In headcanon, I consider the wolf we know from the original movie to be the Big Bad Wolf of the 3 little pigs story. Maybe this is the big bad wolf of little red's story, or something else all together (avoiding potentially spoilers). Again in the original, Goldilocks' 3 bears are seen in cages where Donkey is being held. Later in the movie, Papa Bear is seen in Shrek's Swamp comforting Baby Bear. Due to the absence of Mama bear and the presence of her pelt in Lord Farquad's Decorum, we can assume that this iteration of her is deceased. I'm glad they make use of their characters, even if at the moment it seems like a bit of a retcon or something for the 3 bears.
I don't think this 'big bad wolf' is meant to be of any story. The whole reveal of this guy is that he's death itself, after all. Not in any 'fancy' way, like he says. Literal, straight-up death. I think the point was you to go 'wait, but isn't there already a big bad wolf in this world'? as a clue that this wolf wasn't what he seemed. I think this wolf is only 'big bad' sort in his narrative role + the archetype he occupies. Still, 'the big bad wolf is death itself' is probably one of my personal favorite character concepts of all time!
Love how his first theme feels like a westerner shootout music, but has a creepy underline theme going along the way that makes itself apparent as music goes on.
The curious thing about this new character is that it gives a reference to Death, Santa Muerte oh Angeles de la Muerte (how it is known in your country). In Mexico and Spain, the holy death is known that whoever meets her while she is alive usually whistles a melody that is a warning that you will soon be about to die, a whistle heard in your last minutes of life. There are Latin legends where it is said that the Holy Death usually appears in front of people who are not afraid of dying or who do not value their own life, or who do not respect the dead, or death itself.
I like how they made death a wolf. I personally think it's because wolves in the original fairy tales often were death omens, tricksters, or were straight up eating people.
I've heard no one mention it. The first time the whistle is actually ever heard is right before the bell crushes Puss. When you hear the crowd cheer for an encore, he whistles the first two notes.
What seemed the creepiest to me was how Death has been watching Puss in Boots from the very start. He's watched Puss lose all 8 of his lives, and it's as if he's always there.
death could have killed him any time, in any way, without showing himself, but he did the whole teatrics because he was pissed at somebody not valuing life and mocking Death, just to humble him and teach him a lesson he is not going to forget for the rest of his last life, he is not a villain or a bad/evil guy, he is just showing some tough love
It's been such a while i didn't saw a villain of that level of badassitude and creepiness tbh, last time i had these vibes by Dreamworks, was since first time i saw Sheen and Tai Lung villains from Kung fu Panda
Wow, I never thought that Death would be such a good villain! The theme and the whistle is so well done! Wagner Moura did such a great job with the voice acting!

Even Shrek would be terrified of him.
Or Prince Olympius from Power Rangers Lightspeed rescue would be terrified of him or Probably Semiramis from Fate Apocrypha she wouldn't even Chain Death she would Kneel before him
or AllForOne
I mean, Shrek was pretty much on the brink of death with all those fights with Farquadd, Fairy God Mother, Prince Charming and -Dream- Rumpel Stiltskin.

Bro, the message of this movie is very strong and I've never seen anyone else talk about it, the scene where puss says he's in his last life and he's very scared, reminds you of the day you understood that you exist and will die, the wolf later says he'll see himself with puss again one day, and that kind of count to any of us
This version of Death definitely jumped to near the top of my favorite Antagonists/Villains list faster than Puss could say "Fear me, if you dare."
Agreed I love that mature scene too that Puss finally learn his lesson and he can defeat Death then he say "pick it up" that he never stop fighting Death who comes after him all the time
The big bad wolf is just so fucking awesome his voice, his look, his personality is just so badass "he's here for me" is the best theme for when he's on screen in my opinion
Not the big bad wolf its Death but okay
@@wert556 It is, he just calls himself that boss
he really is death itself, the personification
@@wert556 I can think of no other fairy tale character that would be a wolf plus the big bad wolf is the villain to a lot of fairy tales so it makes sense that he'd be such a symbol of fear across this universe
I like how they took the concept of the Wolf, the most common, mundane, uninteresting fairy tale villain ever, and made him extremely fascinating, powerful, and terrifying. They played into his aesthetic perfectly, characterizing him as real predator (get it?) yet retaining his legendary presence. Being a wolf also has parallels to Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of funeral ordinances, who had the head of a jackal/wolf. In Egyptian mythology, Anubis would also judge the worthiness of a soul entering the afterlife, similar to how Death in this movie condemns Puss for squandering his previous eight lives. Of course, it also plays into the usual cat vs. dog trope in most cartoons, except this time, it's much more terrifying. Not only is it brilliant, but it also coverts a familiar character into a new threat, making us even more afraid of the Big Bad Wolf compared to his typical fairy tale incarnation.
Speaking of fairy tales, making the connection between the Wolf and Death paints those original stories in a much different light as well. HOW did they manage to make this character so conceptually interesting?
Goosebumps every time he whistles
bro same it goes hard
Agreed.
When I was watching the movie I wasn't even paying attention to the music because it blends into the scenes so perfectly, hearing it on it's own is just incredible! It's so intimidating and leaves you with a lingering sense of dread even afterwards.
3:06 literally sounds so good
"And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
A brazilian composing a music for a character dubbed by a brazilian. Puss in Boots came to Brazil
Yey!
This is a chic detail, at the moment 4:28 (when the puss defends himself with the help of the gatito blade), the theme of the kitty soft pow, who gave him this blade, suddenly bursts in. (Clarification, a similar motif was already heard in the film when kitty first appeared)
I didn't pay attention to the soundtrack while watching the film, but the thumping, conspicuous rhythm of the music really fits Death's "slow but steady" thing. He takes his time to get to wherever he needs to be while following the main character, knowing that Puss can't defeat him however much he can try. Death is a truly scary villain who knows EXACTLY what he's doing, and how to do so.
Not only that, but he enjoys it and savors every moment of Puss's dread.
Ironically, it is safe for me to say that wolf gave Puss in Boots a "life" Lesson lmfao
I noticed the Whistling sounds a lot like the music that played whenever Puss would do “the face” in the Earlier movies.
What face?
@@zorrolimonero The cute kitty face
@@lorddraugr3138 Right. Thanks
What's the matter? Lifes flashing before your eyes...?
Pick it up!

UP.
There’s science in this theme: for every 1-2 deaths there’s a near miss
Wdym?
Throughout the entire movie I was even freaked out by Death appearing in front of Puss in Boots. Like it is legitimately a terrifying concept of having Death hunt you down for sport; appearing at random while whistling an eerie, airy, incomplete lullaby and toying with you. Another thing is that the animation style changing to a more stop motion esc feel during the fight scenes is genius. The scenes are more intense, all the actions seem more deliberate and it makes a character getting hit a much bigger deal.
Death is one of those characters who progresses from intimidating to terrifying the more you think about him.
And when you learn who he is, you get even more terrified than when you were kept at the 'mystery' side at the beginning.
I had gone into Puss 'n Boots with no expectiations or whatsoever, and honestly have been blown away by the attention to detail in the animations themselves, the changing styles of drawing, the music, the theme, and the characters all have played a magnificent role in shaping out the story that, while is about anthropomorphic animals, mimics the experience of humans far too well. That said, The Wolf has got to be what has stolen the show for me! His ominous presence, and foreboding existence make you question the very fabric of misery in life, whether or not you have firsthand experienced it.
It is easily my favourite film in 2022 alongside The Menu.
Why does the whistle sound so familiar somehow?
OKAY! I just realized that his whistle sounds a lot like "Wheels on the bus". I don't know if that was the intention, but something about how familiar it is makes it even creepier...
Hmm, have you been playing Witcher 3 perhaps? (And specifically Hearts of Stone dlc)
'Cause the first thing that comes to my mind is Gaunter O'dimm's whistle, they're a bit similar
@@Morrow16 that could be it. But I don't remember playing Witcher 3 for a long time. I'll have to relisten to it.
Okay I just heard it again, and no, it doesn't sound as similar as you think.
Made me think of "it's a good world after all"
@@aetriandimitri190 never heard that one, I'll have to check it out
@@SnekOil small* world mb, ua-cam.com/video/CbIhYhrOJAg/v-deo.html
As perfectly fitting for a depiction of death who WANTS you to know he is coming to end you itself, that whistle is SUCH an invasion of personal space
The fight with Death actually sounds like you are fighting a boss in some video game.
Ah a purrrfect lawful evil character, haven't seen any since rattlesnake Jake. Definitely add to my favorite list.
He is not evil, though. He is more of a natural thing. A force of nature, Death.
@@cyphlone3306Well he certainly doesn’t do his job in a fun nice way for people haha

3:05 POV:when your mothers yells your full name out loud
I accidentally made 2 of the same comment, I am very stupid
When Puss first meets Wolf, I’m reminded of OG death from Supernatural. They both nonchalantly brush off the MC’s bravado like it’s nothing as they eat something. And funny enough they have the same type of weapon; aka a hand sickle.
"Think how you would feel if a bacterium sat at your table, and started to get snarky"
3:06 It's the fact that the whistle is higher pitched that usual, like death is HAPPY that he's has finally found you
I like how they took the concept of the Wolf, the most common, mundane, uninteresting fairy tale villain ever, and made him extremely fascinating, powerful, and terrifying. They played into his aesthetic perfectly, characterizing him as real predator (get it?) yet retaining his legendary presence.

Speaking of fairy tales, making the connection between the Wolf and Death paints those original stories in a much different light as well. HOW did they manage to make this character so conceptually interesting?
I like to think the three little pigs would instead be metaphors for different responses to death
The first pig tries to run,fearing his life,and is too worried about stalling death to live his life at all.
The second pig is cocky,and begins taking risks,eventually being caught off guard by death.
The third pig is calm about deaths approach,he already knows his life will eventually be cut short,so he appreciates what time he has left.
I dunno, the wolf villain feels very overused by this point
@ - Personally, I thought it was a unique twist on a rather mundane villain idea. It's just familiar enough to be recognizable but with enough difference to remain memorable, resulting in a cool villain.
Something not talked about enough is that the whistle melody never finishes, like he was playing with Puss. The only time it completes is in the final fight, where he decided he end the chase. Death's melody ended when he decided to kill him man that's so fire
A wolf whistle for a puss in boots. Would it be catcalling?
You have ruined this theme for me, thanks.
A+ 👍👍🤣

Not sure if it was done on purpose, but the three big thumps thought this whole thing sound (to me) somewhat like a heart beat, which, intentional or not, I think is a really cool detail!!
"The Smell or Fear" sounds absolutely so Terrifying. The Chills I got everytime when Death whistle.
Damm, gotta steal this for dnd
Bright minds think alike
Também, meu caro.
I'm stealing the musical sting idea. All I need to do to make my players panic is hum a few notes.
This made my day so much better TYSM for posting this suite!
This guy genuinely gave me chills every time he was on screen! Perfect execution! Great voice acting and great buildup! Love this guy!
3:05 gives me MAJOR GOOSEBUMPS. I can't express how much that makes me feel scared
5:12 cant recall hearing this in the movie but damm
Thats some horror type music
Very scary he's worse than Death from Adventure Time and Regular sbow
There more for comedy effect but here he's actually represented as fear of death which makes him scary as hell
This death is the one we fear, Adventure time death is the one we’re to be at peace with.
Man death would make a great horror movie villain .
EldenRing/DarkSouls Bosses be like… (Perfection)
Interesting thing I noticed, the beats at 3:17 actually match your heartbeat
Usually a person's heartbeat attempts to match the song in tempo, even if not exactly, so all things considered the composer just made use of that little fact
If you guys didn’t realise yet, He’s whistling the soundtrack of “3 little kittens who lost their mittens and they began to cry”
Wait what?
@@babecat2000 play three little kittens theme listen for 1 minute then play the wolfs theme and yh you’d be surprised
I think it's funny how the big bad wolf and the 3 bears are already in-universe characters in shrek, but these are different characters from them.
In headcanon, I consider the wolf we know from the original movie to be the Big Bad Wolf of the 3 little pigs story. Maybe this is the big bad wolf of little red's story, or something else all together (avoiding potentially spoilers).
Again in the original, Goldilocks' 3 bears are seen in cages where Donkey is being held. Later in the movie, Papa Bear is seen in Shrek's Swamp comforting Baby Bear. Due to the absence of Mama bear and the presence of her pelt in Lord Farquad's Decorum, we can assume that this iteration of her is deceased.
I'm glad they make use of their characters, even if at the moment it seems like a bit of a retcon or something for the 3 bears.
Maybe the baby bear from Shrek grew up and now is this papa bear. "Use your imagination!"
The 3 bears we see in TLW can't be the only talking bears in the world
The wolf in the Shrek movies was the Big Bad Wolf of Little Red Riding Hood. You can tell because he's wearing the Grandma disguise.
I think this Goldilocks didn't run away from the bears
I don't think this 'big bad wolf' is meant to be of any story. The whole reveal of this guy is that he's death itself, after all. Not in any 'fancy' way, like he says. Literal, straight-up death. I think the point was you to go 'wait, but isn't there already a big bad wolf in this world'? as a clue that this wolf wasn't what he seemed. I think this wolf is only 'big bad' sort in his narrative role + the archetype he occupies. Still, 'the big bad wolf is death itself' is probably one of my personal favorite character concepts of all time!
I was getting heavy Dark Souls/Elden Ring boss vibes watching Death in action in this movie.
Reminds me of the Black Knife Assassins which use the element of, “Destined Death”
God the Whistling….that is genuinely terrifying….
Love how his first theme feels like a westerner shootout music, but has a creepy underline theme going along the way that makes itself apparent as music goes on.
Wolf has the harmonica theme song, plus his cloak. He's like a mysterious cowboy
The curious thing about this new character is that it gives a reference to Death, Santa Muerte oh Angeles de la Muerte (how it is known in your country). In Mexico and Spain, the holy death is known that whoever meets her while she is alive usually whistles a melody that is a warning that you will soon be about to die, a whistle heard in your last minutes of life. There are Latin legends where it is said that the Holy Death usually appears in front of people who are not afraid of dying or who do not value their own life, or who do not respect the dead, or death itself.
His whistle giving me goosebumps 🥶
7:09;Corre, corre, Gattito.
Imagine if death makes a cameo in shrek 5 as a background character in a scene that involves someone's demise
That would be so cool
I like how they made death a wolf. I personally think it's because wolves in the original fairy tales often were death omens, tricksters, or were straight up eating people.
This track is so chaotic, kind of like how we try to rationalize our own mortality. Such a brilliant piece!
I've heard no one mention it. The first time the whistle is actually ever heard is right before the bell crushes Puss. When you hear the crowd cheer for an encore, he whistles the first two notes.
I never heard him whistle
@@monkestan9433 Listen to cheers with the volume up. You can hear it
The only words of the death to this sound is " it's Time... '' with a Big smile
Certainly one of the best antagonists in animated films
No matter how many times I listen to it. He's here for me still gives me chills.
What seemed the creepiest to me was how Death has been watching Puss in Boots from the very start. He's watched Puss lose all 8 of his lives, and it's as if he's always there.
He's great love that wolf
3:06 Actual chills.
*BADASS.*
I just finished this movie yesterday. And my god.. death is such a badass character. Probably my favorite of all time.
if you listen cloesly you can hear the whistle tune in almost all elements
This is just as good as the whistle song in Kill Bill. They both got that same foreboding atmosphere
Death is probably the best antagonist made this decade hands down. He's family friendly technically, but wow was he intimidating anyway.
3:05 This is a final battle itself. The best Death I've ever seen.
0:48 ah yes, my favorite musical instrument: basketball.
(i don't know what that instrument is, that's what it sounds to me)
Creepy as hell theme
2:50 when you fart and your pants feel heavy
🤣🤣💀💀😭
HOLY CRAP that transition into He’s Here For Me legitimately made all of my hairs stand on end.
death could have killed him any time, in any way, without showing himself, but he did the whole teatrics because he was pissed at somebody not valuing life and mocking Death, just to humble him and teach him a lesson he is not going to forget for the rest of his last life, he is not a villain or a bad/evil guy, he is just showing some tough love
Jigsaw but not as messed up
It's been such a while i didn't saw a villain of that level of badassitude and creepiness tbh, last time i had these vibes by Dreamworks, was since first time i saw Sheen and Tai Lung villains from Kung fu Panda
Wow, I never thought that Death would be such a good villain! The theme and the whistle is so well done! Wagner Moura did such a great job with the voice acting!
I'll play this everytime I walk in my classroom to teach
You’re a goddamn legend
This film is masterful, both artistically, story, and music, I have no words to describe this gem.
