From Death's perspective, Puss has repeatedly cheated the primordial deity, watching every single time he has died in a moronic way and then come back. Death reveals that this is a personal grudge with Puss, showing that his hatred of the titular protagonist goes far beyond a superstitious rivalry between dogs and cats. As Puss continually "laughs in the face of death," he treats his last eight lives as if they were completely disposable, not treating them with nearly enough seriousness or urgency. He is literally the spirit of Death himself, and he's spent years watching Puss make a mockery of him. This Wolf is no ordinary mercenary, but is actually Death incarnate, and he doesn't mean that metaphorically. The Wolf could easily chase him down right then and there, but if he's waited this long to take down the legendary Puss in Boots, he can wait a little longer.Įventually, the so-called bounty hunter catches up to Puss for another dialogue exchange, where he drops a bombshell reveal. The horrific beast orders Puss to pick up his sword so he can finish the job, but our hero flees out of fear instead. As this painful realization that his demise will be permanent dawns on him, The Wolf picks up the scent of the blood and gets eerily excited to dispatch the cat, dragging his twin sickles across the floor as sparks fly in a shot that looks straight out of a horror film. The fight concludes when The Wolf scratches Puss's forehead, and a stream of blood (yes, blood, in a PG animated film) drips down his face. The two have a duel, but it's one that Puss is losing the entire time, with The Wolf somehow calculating and predicting every single move he makes. The menacing figure claims to be a fan, but when he asks Puss to sign a wanted poster specifically where it says "DEAD," it's clear that he's got something else in mind.īelieving this is just another bounty hunter trying to collect a reward on him, Puss triumphantly draws his sword, only to have it immediately swatted away by The Wolf. The source of that whistle is coming from a mysterious hooded figure, who appears seemingly out of nowhere and sits right next to Puss. That attempt to deflect the serious news is suddenly interrupted by a sinister, melodic whistle. Puss isn't bothered by this though, as he goes down to his favorite bar to relax and drink some milk to avoid his problems. Puss first meets The Wolf after being told by the town veterinarian that he is down to his ninth life, meaning if he dies again, there's no coming back. The variety of the antagonistic forces is also a big plus, with the sympathetic Goldilocks ( Florence Pugh) and her crime family of the Three Bears, the power-mad and irredeemable Big Jack Horner ( John Mulaney), and one final main villain who completely steals the show. The acclaimed studio's hit Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is already worthy of being called a modern animated masterpiece for its gorgeous art style, hysterical sense of humor, and surprisingly mature themes on mortality, but the foes that Puss ( Antonio Banderas) and his friends face pushes the sequel into a whole other tier altogether. There are of course examples from their other films as well, like the complex Ramesses ( Ralph Fiennes) from The Prince of Egypt and the deranged Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2. That may just be the stuff of science fiction, but scroll on to find out if any of these mind-blowing Mandela effect examples got you too.Editor's Note: The following article contains spoilers for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.DreamWorks Animation has delivered no shortage of fantastic villains over its decades-long career, particularly from the Shrek franchise with Lord Farquard ( John Lithgow), the Fairy Godmother ( Jennifer Saunders), and Rumpelstiltskin ( Walt Dohrn).

Needless to say, no one is exempt from being stumped by the strange occurrences, and some even go so far as believe them as some sort of proof of alternate realities.
