absolutely fucking reeling from puss in boots the last wish. my grown ass friends made me see it and it absolutely fucked. it was mad max fury road for kids. it was a horror movie about the fear of death. it was a western about an ageing outlaw trying to regain his youth with the help of his ex fiance and homeless harvey guillen. it was about found family. it was about needing people and asking for help. it had the best depiction of a panic attack i've ever seen in a mainstream film. the villain looked exactly like boris johnson. there was a wicker man reference. it had a kill count higher than most slasher films. it set up shrek 5. they even said fuck.
the fact that puss didn’t realize that death was, you know, death until the fourth time he saw him when death had to literally spell it out for him. like my mans really thought it was just some weirdo bounty hunter obsessed with death motifs and metaphors and whanot who somehow managed to drive him into a blind panic with his mere presence. orange cat behaviour.
did anyone else notice that before death first appeared, there were 8 empty glasses that puss already drank. which symbolizes the 8 lives he used up...
and when death finally appeared, he didnt let puss finish his 9th drink which mirrors his 9th life and kinda foreshadows that death was kinda the reason on why puss didnt waste is 9th life so carelessly
i know the editors have gotten a lot of shit for things like mirror brennan and some weird scene cuts, but this completely makes up for it, this was so epic and so well done
in any story except neverafter them getting their stuff back would've felt like such a cop-out at the end, but pib stealing it back from the baba yaga was so narratively satisfying because that's EXACTLY what he does. and none of you even thought of it before zac said it and they deserved it
no but I adoreeee the role reversal between kitty and puss when it comes to traditionally masculine/feminine roles in the last wish like idk if it was the same in pib 1 but the way kitty takes the lead when they’re dancing?? she’s his equal in strength not ‘weak cause she’s a woman’ or ‘so powerful her personality is overhauled so she can be a cardboard cutout Strong Woman’?? kitty isn’t left at the altar, she leaves of her own volition because she has a strong handle on what she’s worth and what she deserves?? puss gets to be vulnerable and feel afraid and need others help without it somehow being an attack on his masculinity or it detracting from his bravery?? kittys the one who catches puss in that romantic ass dip when he falls on the boat?? by god he even wears eyeliner. bi4bi girlboss/malewife fr
Got that Zorro x Trinity from the matrix inspo‼️I imagine her to be much much longer and agile in comparison hence why she’s also like almost a foot taller than Puss lol
