    In this video, psychotherapist Georgia Dow examines the character of Big Jack Horner in "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" and analyzes how his behavior stacks up against one of the four criteria that can label someone a sociopath. Dow offers valuable insights into the psychology of sociopathic traits, such as manipulation, lack of empathy, and impulsivity, and how they are depicted in the film. She explores the disturbing behavior of Big Jack Horner and how it contributes to the overall story, shedding light on the complex nature of these traits and their impact on others. This video is recommended for anyone interested in the psychology of personality disorders and how they are portrayed in film and media.

      I made a fairly detailed comment on why I think this counts, since even if you didn't take away any of his other traits, if he really wanted to achieve his goal of killing everyone and getting his wish, he could have been much more efficient with the way he used his resources, it's a very twisted sense of responsibility that would be required to do evil efficiently, but he lacks even the most basic foresight to try and make the most of his resources, because by the end, he ends up killing almost all of his own men, wasting all of his magic, and flagrantly discards anything he brought with him whenever it's convenient without considering how it could help him in the long run.
      The most effective and terrifying villains understand, if you want to win, you need to be responsible, efficient, and understand the value of things you can't relate to.
      It's the difference between Jack Horner throwing all his men and stuff away because he can't foresee the consequences of his actions, and someone like the Joker knowing how to cause the most chaos by torturing a single person to cause the most chaos.
      The most dangerous villains, real or fictional, are the ones who know how to see the bigger picture, which develops a very twisted form of responsibility which still aligns with their own malicious personalities.

That's why most of them have "character growth" that's them learning how to express themselves/understand others better.

    I like dichotomy between Jack and Pinocchio. While both of them have Jiminy by their sides, one is an object becoming a real boy while the other is a real boy becoming a monster! While also being super envious of Pinocchio, he don’t realise that he’s the problem and not the circumstances of his birth. I speculate the reason why he’s envious of Pinocchio and feel outshined by him is because Pinocchio is a being made of magic, so if he can have all the magic in the world he can truly feel special and the only one who’s special that he can finally outdo Pinocchio

    I am a sociopath, mostly due to childhood trauma and perhaps a bit of genetic disposition, but due to the relatively stable and positive home I grew up in, I have managed to find ways to deal with the darker and more damaging impulses I have. One of which is steady employment: I would get bored at jobs very easily, and quit before a year was up, with no real thought to my next job, as long as I had a little money in the bank. It's taken me a while, but Ive managed to not only keep a job for two years now (longest so far), but it's actually becoming a higher paying career. I've also avoided commiting any serious crimes, and have never even seen the back seat of a police car.

    Jack is definitely driven, but he does not care about the consequences of his actions so technically he takes responsibility because he sees no reason to be ashamed of what he does

    Most who’ve seen the movie probably already noticed, but I had only just noticed that Jack was the only one who didn’t touch the map before getting to the star. Puss, Kitty, Perrito, and Goldi were the only ones who touched it and we saw what their paths to the star looked like. I do wonder if Jack touched the map what would his path have looked like and entailed? What do you think?

    I don't have any diagnosis, but I'm practically like a hermit. I enjoy my solitude and alone time and don't really like going anywhere. I'll still socialize, but really only with my immediate family or through online things like Discord. I'm not including work here because though I enjoy it at times thanks to my coworkers, it's more of something I have to do than want to do. My personality here might also come from growing up in a small mountainous area with a town population of around or under 2000. Though, now that I think about it, it might actually come from something else, a past trauma with a "friend". Basically he broke my trust and betrayed me when we were kids and I kind of shut myself away as a result.

    I think something that could have been analyzed a bit more is how other people's positive emotions and energy have absolutely no effect on Jack. It was shown that people do like his pies, but their enjoyment of his product has absolutely no impact on his state of mind. Course the two women who thought of him as famous he downplayed as well.
    Jack seems to be a high functioning sociopath since it seems that his Baker's dozen respected him enough to sacrifice themselves for him, which has the implication that he does want the best for himself and to get that best you do need to treat the people you want well enough that they stick around. Probably makes him a ruthless capitalist who has zero problem with firing people who aren't up to the task, but is smart enough to do what is necessary to keep the capable people around.
    He certainly doesn't express any malice towards he considers part of his group, just a lot of indifference. Would have been interesting to see how Jack would have reacted to one of his bakers quitting. I think he would be more likely to wave them off saying "Whatever" as opposed to any kind of emotional reaction.

    You might have a fun time digging into the psychology of some anime. I know the Fate franchise is a horse that has been beaten to death, dissected, studied, reassembled, and then beaten into paste, but with as many different branches to it there are tons of neat characters and circumstances to evaluate. Others would be Steins;gate, a wonderful mess of the masks people wear and the trauma they cope (or don't) with. The Ancient Magus' Bride is also good as it stars a suicidally depressed girl finding value in herself and life, and an ancient inhuman magical creature learning what it means to be human, how to be human himself (instead of just the surface trappings of humanity), and indeed the things about himself that he never even realized he shared with humanity (it was a particularly hard lesson when he realized that he was capable of jealousy and only realized it after doing some truly heinous things because of it).

    When I clicked in this video I thought it would be just like other psychology video where they would demonize the disorder quoted instead of explaining it. But I was wrong. It was actually really educational and entertaining to watch. And it was nice to see actual people with ASPD making comments in here. I was questioning lately if I have the disorder due to some reasons and it's no wonder why I found Jack so funny/relatable at some scenes. I'm also glad you made it clear in the beginning that having low empathy doesn't imply that someone is inherent bad. Loved the video so far :)

    I think what’s fun about Jack Horner is that if the thieves seeked out the map but said that it’s useless because people went and made their wish already, his attitude will likely be:
    “Well that blows. But what are you going to do.
    Here, have the Midas Touch, for your troubles (one thief turns to gold, he dismisses them).
    I guess I’ll keep getting my magic by hand, print out more fliers to get scouts bringing that stuff to me.

    I think I'm one of those negative people, and I am honestly curious about the alternatives proposed.
    Learning to be positive seems like an attempt at self-delusion to me. I don't WANT to be negative, I just see so many negative things that others don't, or choose to ignore.
    Trying to tell ourselves that everything is hunky-dory and we are all lovely and valid and all that stuff might seem appealing until you have to face the consequences of ignoring the sad state of the world around us.
    We suck. The world sucks. And the first step of fixing that is to acknowledge it.
    There has to be, at the very least, a happy medium. The mythical realist.

    Hi. I heard it from someone on youtube it doesn t come from me. Valid points that highlight jack story.
    He s remorseless and people think it s a breath of fresh air with all the villain with tragic backstory.
    Well actually had one too.
    Let s look at the clues.
    First he said he had great upbringing to the cricket, family, fortune, mansion , golden spoon in hus mouth.
    Yet we can see in his own flashback
    He had a hard time making money. Worse , pinoccio was taking his clients.
    He said perrito he sxdead inside. We can see it s true along the movie.
    His goal is: get all the magic in the world. Not being the most powerful magic caster. Simply take all to himself. Which explai what happen:
    Jack has no magic. In a world where magic make you whole, make you special
    Jack hasxto survive in this condition. Meaning he hates himself for being ordinary and is obscessed to get magic. That broke him. Once he get all, only him would be special.

    Sometimes those moments when it comes in activate the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous systems: Either the gut-punch of realizing you made a bad choice, or the peace and calm that comes from doing the right thing, making the world that little bit better.

Even though you can argue that his and the goal is to have all magic would supersede his material little forms of magic, you would think that after all of his efforts and retrieving these artifacts that they would have some value to him

    There’s a key part to ASPD that’s being overlooked here: is the impairment or stress he suffers clinically significant?
    He’s not impaired, he’s physically strong (not fit but not necessary), he’s a wildly successful entrepreneur, he has hobbies (poaching and hunting baby animals doesn’t warrant an ASPD symptom. Like disorder diagnosis, multiple occurrences of something consistent with the general condition is needed), and he’s perfectly content login the way he’s living. ASPD would not be the diagnosis here

    One thing I feel is weirdly absent in the entertainment industry is the sociopathic evil character and/or the self-centered evil character. I love irredeemable villains that push our hero or heroine to their absolute limits to the point that the audience is anxious as to whether or not the good guy is gonna win. Jack Horner is one such character who recognizes his flaws, sees them as his strengths, and refuses to redeem himself because he doesn't really see a good reason to do so.

    I think I get what she means about the irresponsibility thing. Because while the majority of Jack's actions can be deemed irresponsible, if you look at it from the context of his overall plan and how he goes about getting it, then it's a different story.
    He's responsible in the sense that he knows exactly what must be done to achieve his goal, how to get it done, and is more than willing and able to pass whatever obstacles prevent him from meeting this quota.

It's part of the reason often the way I explain how someone feels like is through imagery, color, texture, if I am allowed to do so. I know some people cannot understand the way I explain things that way, so I use more common? adjectives or more easily recgonized imageries like an angry baby or baby cow mooing for mama.
