Puss In Boots: The Last Wish Revives Franchise With Death
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish has accomplished a difficult feat. It's not easy for a franchise that has been around for more than twenty years to find new life in a way that gets audiences excited about future installments. Especially in an era of countless legacy sequels, prequels, spinoffs, and extended universe builders, the idea of going back to a franchise that hasn't been touched since 2011 just sounds exhausting. That's why Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is such a novelty.
The wolf is the literal personification of death. With a dark hood and two razor-sharp sickles for weapons, Death is hunting Puss because he took the first eight of his nine cat-lives for granted. His bright red eyes and haunting signature whistle send chills down Puss's spine and cause the fur to stand up on the back of his neck. This is what makes Death such an effective antagonist.
Franchises are usually hesitant to promote true character growth because it affects the way the character is marketed for merchandise, theme park attractions, and possible sequels. So it's refreshing when studios are willing to take risks by backing their characters against a wall that forces them to make fundamental changes to their personality.
The chills, the blood, and the panic attack are important tools Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is using to establish high stakes. For the first time in a Shrek movie, it feels like the hero is actually in danger. While Lord Farquaad, Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Rumpelstiltskin, and Humpty Dumpty were each memorable villains for their respective reasons , they all suffer from the same tendency to force a layer of goofiness over their wickedness.
