  • Jack Horner was a comedic villan. He doesnt need a good motive. Him not having a good motive makes his character better.

    Nah, I liked Jack Horner. He added balance to the characters in the film. I'm tired of the Disney trend the past few years of not having villains. Its fun to have comically evil villains who are evil just for the sake of being evil. Death technically wasn't a bad guy, he was just doing his job and Goldilocks and the bears weren't evil either (since Goldie's wish was based on good intentions). They were more like rivals to Puss and Kitty.

    I headcanon that Kitty made that thing up with that incident to make Puss in Boots feel better, because she forgave him and wanted him to move on. Just doesn't make sense for her entire arc to be based around that just for it to be waved aside, and I think it makes a lot more narrative sense.

    I disagree about Jack Horner being a weak villain, he acts as a counter weight to the rest of the cast and their deep motivations while providing neccesary levity by simply being pure evil and funny af, a rarity with villains these days.
  • 100% agree with you about Puss in Kitty. They were both entertaining and had great chemistry with each other in the first movie, but this movie actually allows the two of them to be really compelling characters in a way that I haven't seen done this well since Hiccup and Astrid in How to Train Your Dragon. Great job!
  • Jack Hornner is what really carried the comedy for me just mainly because of there interactions with other characters and his overall tone. I mean even death had the heart to let puss go and that should tell you somthing. Not to mention he is a pretty good looming threat, i mean there is a reason he has all those fairy tale artifacts. so I think he adds that perfect amount of spice to the film in contrast to every other character
  • @AniMana21
    Man, I cannot disagree with you more about Jack Horner my man was hilarious the whole way through.
  • Jack Horner was my favorite villain in this movie. I know everyone praises the wolf, who I think is awesome, but jack Horner with his completely selfish and illegitimate motives tied with his complete lack of care for others makes him such a peak comedic villain. And even though he is pretty comedic, he is still very threatening because like I said, he cares for absolutely nothing except himself as seen by how he literally does not give a shit that he got 12 people killed. And him pulling out Excalibur with the stone still on made me laugh out loud. I thought he served his purpose so well, and all the villains were masterfully done and served each of their own purposes so well. With Goldilocks and the bears being the redeemable and heartwarming ones, death being the intimidating yet not actually intrinsically evil, and jack Horner just being completely merciless and hilarious.

    Can we please just agree that Perrito is a good boy?
  • @green-legacy
    i like that kitty begins to trust perro and trys teaching perro how to do the cute eyes
  • @rockkiller124
    3 villains are the main highlights for me, this movie juggle them so well
  • What about death was not done right? That final scene was the best scene in the entire movie
  • That... that was Jack Horner's entire point. The sole reason he was in the movie. To be an "irredeemable monster", just pure evil with no tragic backstory, not even the SLIGHTEST amount of moral greyness. Just straight up a bad person. Not sure how exactly that flew under the radar for you so hard.

    I liked Jack Horner. He really wasn't a commentary on capitalism so much as a poke at Hollywood's attempt to make every damn villain sympathetic. He's just a straight up unapologetic mega douche. Though he does suffer in comparison to every other character which are just great. I hope Death never makes a reappearance in this franchise or if he does, they don't water him down or trivialize him.
  • While I'm usually one to recognize critique of capitalism in media, I don't really think that that was the purpose of Jack Horner in this movie! On one hand I do agree with what so many in the comments are saying- he's hilarious, and it's nice to see a good 'ol-fashioned irredeemable monster of a villain. On the other hand, he does serve an extremely relevant purpose to the themes of the movie! If Goldie represents learning to treasure what's in your life, Jack Horner is about a total DISREGARD of life. He doesn't care about anything that has made his life so comfortable, taking it all for granted, going as far as to repeatedly accidentally kill his own minions to really drive it home. At the beginning of the movie Puss is so invested in his legendary status that he cares more about the cheers he's getting than the people behind those cheers- forgetting what city he's in, stepping on their faces, and pumping up his ego. Jack Horner reinforces a mindset of what Puss grows out of for the entire movie. Sure, he himself is simple, but so was Puss. Depth is added to Puss, and Horner does not grow. I just don't think the movie works as well without that!
  • Jack mainly was to tickle our funny bones after it gets too scarry with Death.

    I saw this movie recently for my birthday and I have to say I was genuinely surprised by how much I loved it! The score, the animation, Puss’ character arc, his and Kitty’s dynamic, the villains, the voice acting (especially from Antonio Banderas. You’re right! He does not miss a beat!), and how can I forget Perrito? Sure, it was a bit much to take in, but maybe I just need to watch it again! Overall, 9/10, one of the better DreamWorks movies to come out this decade, along with The Bad Guys!
  • In this new trend of generational conflicts and lack of villains, Jack Horner is a refreshing return to a character cathegory that was sorely missed in animation.
