    To clarify what happened to Fairy Godmother at the end, she cast a spell that basically cancels out all the magic within a target. If the spell hit Shrek or Fiona, it would have turned them back into ogres. When it hit Harold, it turned him back into a frog, and when the spell bounced off his armor and hit Fairy Godmother, it destroyed her because she's a purely magical being.

    • @leovk5779
      @leovk5779 Рік тому +40

      Hm. I saw it more as a "kill" spell, she really wanted her revange, hence why she died, but the king's armor deflected most of it so he was less affected? (In my theory, that also might explain why in Shrek 3 -SPOILER REDACTED-, which came a bit out of nowhere.)
      Your explanation makes sense, but I feel it's too nice for the evil character that she is. "Ill just turn you back into ogres, that'll teach you!" And then what, how does that even help her in any way?

      @@peterseaboldt1250 Nah. That I don't believe at all: it's a curse, and even Fairy Godmother wasn't able to lift it easily. Everything points to that: she tried to send Charming, but too late; if she could have lifted the curse at any time, I don't think she would have missed the opportunity. Also, in Shrek 4 (SPOILERS just in case obviously) we see the parents desperate that say that even Fairy Godmother couldn't do anything, which means that even without Shrek her plan FAILS and Charming likely gets killed by the dragon. Fiona, having waited for so long, then rescue herself, with the curse not lifted.
      Also, after Shrek 1, yes Fiona IS really an ogre, the curse is lifted. She is, and I quote "beautiful in the eyes of her lover". That is her true form now, not just the curse lingering.
      The potion in Shrek 2 only temporarily turns her back into a human, and only true love's kiss could have definitively turned her into a human again (a power stronger than the curse, like in Shrek 1 and even Shrek 4, a power that even the Fairy Godmother cannot wield at will.)

    Watching this again, you start realize that Fiona did Shrek dirty in the beginning of the movie. He doesn’t wanna go to a place where him and his kind have been discriminated against for generations, and she convinces him otherwise. Yet the moment they get there they’re given immediate hostility, especially from her father. After argument at the dinner table, she tells Shrek that he’s being unreasonable when he actually wasn’t. Her father was the one who really started it, and all Shrek did was defend her and call him out on being neglectful father. At least the queen tried to keep things civil.

    The roar that Mongo makes when he's angry is the Godzilla roar, as he's meant to be like a kaiju (japanese giant monster). Originally, he was gonna be like this all throughout the scene but he came across an unsympathetic so he was made childish and dumb until he was provoked to anger.

    Just wanted to add that the latino dub of this movie is HILARIOUS since they actually adapt the jokes to the latinamerican audience, even some that didn't really need to be adapted were changed to be even funnier in my opinion.
    My favorite change, which I do not know how they allowed to this day is:
    "Shrek and I drank a magic potion and now we both look...sexy!"
    *Looks at Puss* "...Shrek?"
    "For you baby...I'd be Batman"

I'm mostly here for your Marvel reactions (and I've actually rewatched some of your Marvel reactions, even though I almost never rewatch reactions), but I've also greatly enjoyed the non-Marvel stuff that I've seen. Keep it up.

    Shrek 2 is one of those phenomenon's where it seems almost universally, people recognize it as an amazing movie. I've talked to people all over the world who had seen it and they loved it, Shrek in general has such good storytelling and comedic moments. Considering it started as a punishment, people who didn't perform well on Prince of Egypt were "shreked", sent to work on what they thought was a failure, turned out to be a classic.

  • @TheFlagnard2

    Shrek two is unironically one of the best films ever made. I feel like part of what makes it so great, is that you don't expect it to be. I remember seeing this in theaters and expecting pretty much nothing from it. Yet it delivered in a way I never thought would be possible for a sequal about Shrek.

    I remember loving this movie. I loved fairy tales as a kid, Puss in Boots was my favorite. I like how they put in a hint to his original story about slaying an ogre into this by making it his job. I like that King Harold is hinted to be the Frog Prince. The swans in Fairy Godmothers factory turning into swans, the little Easter eggs are so good.
