Fun fact about Death's whistle: that is a folklore thing. It is suspected that there are some large birds of prey that can be heard whistling after dark before they strike, and if they are around, and you whistle in the dark, you will attract them. Idk what part of the world that lore is from, but the mythology evolved and spread to be anything from whistling cryptids that feed on human flesh, to masked whistling killers, inevitably connecting whistling in the dark = death approaching.
Another fun fact, the death whistle is 8 beats longs, symbolizing that he's taken 8 of Puss's lives - when he confronts Puss in the wishing star and creates the ring of fire, the whistle plays for 9 beats before the wolf starts talking.
my grandma always told me that if i whistle i might attract evil jinns! i didnt know whistling bringing bad luck or death was prominent in other cultures as well, its very interesting!
In my country folklore, you are forbidden to whistle during the night either inside your home or outside with outside being the worse because it can attract bad entities to you. They could play tricks on you by whistling back at you in the depths of the night from your windows or from your front door.
A well written villain. You see how giving him power is a bad idea. I was so relieved (knowing he was going to be empowered later) that Megamind shot him on accident and didn't _intentionally_ choose him to be the new superhero.
I think what's so appealing about Shen's character is that he exhibits a trait villains rarely show until AFTER the hero wins: regret. about halfway through the movie, he starts to unravel and go (fully) insane. this due to him struggling to cope with the fact that he secretly realizes that he's gone too far, but its too late. he should've listened to the soothsayer, but too many people have already died and he's so close to achieving his goal. there's hints but it becomes fully apparent with his final conversation with the soothsayer, where he loses the last person that cared about him. His insanity becomes a coping mechanism meant to overcompensate for his guilt. now all alone, he lets him self get consumed by greed and delusions of grandeur until the last moment when the cannon collapses. I think the reason why he refuses to let up even when Po offers him mercy is not because he wants to take over china, but because he's already committed so many atrocious deeds from breaking his parents hearts to killing the pandas, and to turn back would render everything he did pointless and everyone he killed died for nothing.
That's why lord shen is my favorite villain in any animated movie. He's complicated and there's more to him than just "I want to rule everything muahahaha"
While not the best villain, Jack Horner is arguably the funniest dreamworks villain, my case in point: "You aren't gonna shoot a puppy aren't you?" "Yeah *in the face,* why?" "WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIIIIS?" "I MEAN WHAT IN GENERALLLLL????" "DON'T YOU KNOW IM DEAD INSIDE??"
Jiminy Cricket: "Your plan is horrible. YOU'RE HORRIBLE!" Jack Horner: "Yeah, what took you so long to realize that?" Kitty: "Enjoy your granny bag?" Jack Horner: "No, it's a magic NANNY bag!"
I think Death’s motive is good. He is punishing Puss for carelessly throwing is lives away, but when Puss learned to cherish what he has then Death leaves him alone.
@@LEO-hc2mdPuss literally waste all his 8 lifes carelessly and that obviously really piss him off, so he just gonna hunt Him down just to make his death faster because puss would just waste it like others.
Jack Horner is so freaking awesome! I just love how self aware he is as a villain. Most villains that are self aware tend to roll with it but Jack makes is VERY clear he ENJOYS being an evil bastard lol
In my opinion, the Fairy Godmother is the best villain. What a smart idea to make her the mastermind of the fairytales she’s in. Cursing princesses so her son could save them in the future. And she is so determined that she manipulates everyone and stops at nothing to get her goal. All for a twisted sense of love. Also THAT PERFORMANCE!
@@chrisuuu393yeah, Tai Lung should’ve been the new dragon warrior instead of the wolf. I hope that Zhen betrays Po in the 5th movie and Tai Lung is then chosen to take his place.
This video has some funny moments, but respectfully I can’t understand how you could judge a character when you have not see the movie they in. It’s also difficult to tell whether you’re judging someone by how much they add to the story or how evil they are as you seem to alternate between the two.
One of my favorite things about Hal is that basically every woman has known or does know a guy just like that. The one that refuses to take a no and assumes that if he could just have something specific, he’d get the girl. They refuse to even consider that sometimes a girl just doesn’t like them. Even though he’s goofy, he’s oddly realistic.
Death is less of a villain and more of an antagonist. He was a genuine negative surrounding threat throughout the movie but what he was doing wasn't morally wrong nor was it in any way evil in his eyes, he was quite literally just doing his job. And the ending of PIB:TLW shows his intentions were only driven by the assumption that Puss was never going to change, and when proven wrong, Death did in fact give him his fair and final chance.
I'm so sick of these comments, man. The film makes it very clear he's not doing his job. Puss still had one life, and taking that from him was Death's personal vendetta. Even when he changes his mind he says "you're ruining this for me" because it was a game to him and he enjoyed taking the life of an arrogant legend. Is he an interesting character? Yes. Is he also a villain? Yes.
Both Shen and Death had great traumatic psychological effects on their respective protagonists at the mere sight of them. This forced them to fight overcome and ultimately growing as characters. As great as Death is however, he was more of a force, a presence, as he should be being the anthropomorphic personification of death and all (now there a fancy way of saying it if there ever was one). Shen had this but was more of a character, with a backstory, goals and an arc. His actions created a personal tie to the Po and shaped the trajectory of his life going forward from that point. Shen was the hero of his own story and he created his own villian.
Lord Shen is clearly, but I think Death is truly a villain and an antagonist. Nothing prevents it from being both. That's exactly what makes him great. It counts for a villain, again. As for the people who say he's just doing his job, it should say them that's what villains do, do their evil deeds. And besides, it's better to portray our favorite negative character as a cool bad boy than just a neutral worker who's just doing job and and is above evils.
I also think Lord Shen is the best villain (DreamWorks one), his backstory, his voice, the emotion it all makes him my favorite villain. Even though Death is scariest one.
@@button616 Plus his words like "happiness... must be taken, and I would take mine" with his voice or "The only reason you are still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing" made me laugh, cry, feel some sort of fear etc. He is great, cold blooded villain with quite sad backstory, that he caused himself. Plus his moments with Po are just pure amusement :D The comedic ones I mean. Ah but by Death being scariest I meant the Death from Puss in Boots, but true Shen just accepted his death.
He’s threatening, has many funny scenes, epic back story, incredible voice, and definitely one of the most success character design ever. Best villain 10/10
I like how DreamWorks villains can be either one of the three tropes: -They are fun and whacky, yet dangerous. -They are super intimidating and send a chill down your spine. -Both. (Now imagine if we mix all of DreamWork’s villains into one amalgamation. We would be doomed.)
The majority of DreamWork's villains are strong in combat, either by hand-to-hand combat like all of Kung Fu Panda's villains or Titan, with those rarely being intelligent like Professor Poopypants, the Verminator or Rumpelstiltskin. So hybridizing all of the villains together would mostly be brawn with a dash of intelligence given to them. Even though some like Prince Charming would harm the hybrid, the pros outweigh the cons. You have basically an amalgamation that not only is super strong and intelligent, but also magical like Kai's jade powers or Fairy God Mother.
Dubois is probably my favourite villain here. She's funny in a way that never takes away from her scary badassery. I also love her design, it's unusual for a scary antagonist but they sell it really well. I never imagined someone on a scooter with twenty mirrors could be intimidating.
I love her because she's the cartoon version (but not in personality), of my mother's family deceased grandmother. Really, my mother actually had a lot of laughs of the character
Concerning Death's backstory; it doesn't really matter. He says it himself, he's Death, straight up. He is the physical manifestation of the concept of death. Not the grim reaper, literal death. He doesn't take souls, he is what happens when a soul leaves a body, when a heart stops beating. He isn't a person, he's a force, one that is absolute, one that happens to everything. Also I'm pretty sure he chose the form of a giant latino wolf just to f*ck with Puss.
The reason why Ken sounds like Joe Swanson is because they're both voiced by Patrick Waburton. He also voices Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove and that one douchebag deer from Open Season
Goldilocks and the Three Bears are antagonists rather than villans so that's why they didn't feel that evil. Also Death's backstory is kind of self explanatory. He is death, simple as.
@@downzieHe was never born, he's always been present. He's a force of nature and exist even outside of time. He's basically one of god's four main angels (I don't know if it's like that in christianity but in Islam we have four main angels: Mikail the controller of weather, Israfil the announcer of the doomsday, Cebrail the messenger and finally Azrail which is death.)
I am not surprised that the villains from Kung Fu Panda, How To Train Your Dragon, Shrekverse, Megamind, Rise of the Guardians were in the top 10. Fairy Godmother is number one in our hearts.
For the question you had on death it’s all simply answered by three words. He is death That’s it He’s the agragor of death. His history background and motivation is everything to do with death. Good or bad for eternity What makes him scary in the movie thou is that he’s just playing with his food. He didn’t need to be there but puss cheating gave him an excuse to come down and play
@@CoraCreates ether would have done they are after all complete foils to one another. shen is a classic villian build up throe past actions and the hero's journey. death on the other hand is a Lovecraftian horror. you dont beat death just exept it or it takes you by force.
Yeah one of the best things about Death is that we know so little about him. After all, few things are more terrifying to most people than the unknown. Another thing that makes him great is how he is used sparingly in the story, so that when he does show up it is much more impactful.
"Its a parting gift, in that it will part you. Part of you here, part of you there, part of you waaay over there STAINING THE WALL!" Shen was so obsessed with conquering china and Gary Oldmans performance sells it so extremely good. Its a mix of narcissism and pure insanity

@@Tyler_9000 It was likely because he realized he would never win, this was his destiny, he brought it on himself, he had committed genocide on the pandas, and even if he jumped out of the way, he was surrounded by the entirety of Gongmen city and wouldn't make it out of there
I think tighten is one of my favorites because people like him exists, roxanne was never scared of megamind, but when hal 'rescued' her she was terrified
everyone calls him Tighten but I like to believe his hero name is Titan, he just spelled it wrong cause of how stupid he is considering the Queen of England scene
I think the reason death has no backstory and the reason we know so little about him might be because the writwers wanted him to be as mysterious as possible, and leave fans to decide for themselves what dark and twisted backstory death might have.
Pitch Black actually has no real motive but the his back story is amazing. He was actually a heroic general and the leader of the golden army. He was also married and has a daughter. He fought against the nightmares and imprisoned them. He also guarded them, knowing they would try to manipulate him. They succeded one day by immitating his daughter emily crying for help. He released them, they consumed him and he became pitch black. His daughter is still alive but i think the nightmares killed his wife. So he is actually not evil but posesses. The world building in the original books is amazing and quite dark. I wish they would make a real show out of it.
Honestly, I do not think that Death is a villain, unless you think some one that has been getting disrespected as one. He's there to, as they say, to put some respect into that Puss and in the end, he is the one that got Puss to be a better person. Death is not a hero, but not a villain as well.
Death isn't an Villain you're correct he was just doing his job. Yes he broke some rules but besides that he was just doing his job. Yes he an antagonist but villian??? NO
@@zephyr9852 He is a symbolic force of nature - death is unpredictable and menacing, but that doesn't make it villainous. Death is a conflict of man vs nature and man vs self - it only extends to man vs man in this movie because death is personified as the wolf. If the wolf was omitted entirely, the threat of death would still have the same impact. Impending doom is a very common driving force for a person to change their ways to either prolong or appreciate their life. Death is a fact of life that Puss has to come to terms with - not a villain to defeat.
Fun fact: Rise of the guardians it's based off one of my favorite book series, in which is explained how Pitch (around 3000 years ago) was Lord General Kozmotis Pitchiner, one of the greatest militar figures of the golden ages of space, he was a huge threat to the shadow army, (basically a whole army of different kinds of fearlings that conquered planets and consumed the souls of people) So they went after his family, his wife jumped of a tower with a doll pretending it was her daughter, meanwhile, the daughter ended up stuck inside a star that was later on befriended by Sanderson Mansnoozie (AKA Sandy) A dreamer whose work was to dream about other people´s dreams and, if he found them pure, sent them a magical dream that would show them how to achieve their wish. The star later on after a lot of battles ended up crashing in earth, freeing Pitch's daughter who became mother nature. Meanwhile all of the above happened, Pitchiner, believing his family was dead, asked his superiors to protect the great shadow prision, where the fearlings faked his daughter's voice and tricked him to enter the cell, consuming his whole body and turning him into the king of all nightmares. The books are amazing and have some of the best illustrations iv'e ever seen. 100% reccomended. Im sorry for my grammar, english is not my first language.
Death even explains it himself. He is quite literally an embodiment of death. Death is a force of nature, which is why hes almost not even a villain. He always has existed, and will exist as long as life exists. I think how mysterious the character is only makes his character stronger, because death (literal loss of life) is mysterious. In my opinion its a masterfully done character that i think can help a lot of people process their inevitable mortality, amd help demonstrate the value of living
Yeah. Not be a "simp" but--exactly this. Lol. He doesn't need a backstory. He's Death. (Straight up) But what makes him a villain is him coming after Puss in Boots earlier than his life was supposed to end. He made the job personal when death is an impersonal force. Death isn't supposed to gun for you. Death just happens to you.
@@only1one1me yeah if anything death is just supposed to be a guide to the afterlife, not a dang assassin (also who decided that assassin should be spelled this way |:/)
I don't know about you guys, but I genuinely find Kung Fu Panda 2 the BEST movie ever (that I have watched). They got amazing characters, and amazing character development, the best protagonist ever, the best villain ever, it is funny, touching, epic, the colors, especially in the end with the beautiful red everywhere, it is PERFECT! the voice acting, the music. It has the best scene, and the only scene I have ever cried at. Yes, it topped Up, Coco, Encanto, and many others to me. on an unrelated note, very nice video! I am now subscribed :)
@@smallbudoo Just because it is a movie aimed at children, doesnt mean it cant be an fantastic film It's taking on quiet serious topics Makes it even more impressive that they managed to put the age limit of that movie to 12
KFP 2 is easily my favorite sequel ever. Lord Shen was the perfect villain for Po. While Po relied on his size and sometimes sheer luck, Shen was cunning and calculating. I completely agree with this tier list.
I personally I have tai lung as my best villain that movies is just something else for me when would have to be the the worst Kai second and Tai lung first
Ill have to disagree with humpty being a twist villain. He was basically side-plotted as a villain until the last act where he was the main villain. Unless, of course, you meant surprise villain when it came to Puss' perspective and not ours
I'd say that Death not having a lot of screen time is part of what makes him a huge menace, you never know when he's gonna show up but you always fear that he will. If he was there more, i feel like this impression wouldn't be as strong as it is in the movie.
I was confused when he said he needed more info on him. He doesn’t have a backstory, he’s Death. Of course he’s immortal, he’s Death. You don’t need to know any more about him cause he’s Death. Straight up.
Honestly, props to Dreamworks for making a SEQUEL to a rather mid SPIN-OFF and causing a whirlwind on the Internet because of how good it was. Of course, their portrayal of the biggest force of nature absolutely helped. Nobody that has seen that movie will see "The Big Bad Wolf" the same ever again.
Fun Fact: In the the german version of rise of the guardians, pitch black is called the black man ("der Schwarze Mann"), and in the scene where people can't see him anymore he runs towards the two childrens and screams "I am the black man!". When I got older and rewatched the movie the scene made me laugh so hard. His voice acting in the german version is really good though.
Rumpelstiltskin actually terrified me when I was a kid. He's so creepy and weird and what he does to shrek is genuinely heartbreaking. Shrek literally cries in that movie
If you look into the Guardians of Childhood books, Pitch is actually a very tragic villain. Though kinda beyond saving, he is somewhat aware of his former self before becoming the nightmare king.
@@JesseJokes I kinda disagree on the number one spot here. Shen is a great villain, sure, but as great of a villain that he is, he couldn't defeat Death. Yes his actions were horrible, but he died in the end, showing you can't escape Death no matter how good of a villain you are. As the doctor from Puss in Boots said "death comes for us all".
Death isn't really a villain, he's more of an antagonist. (Big difference between villain and antagonist, btw.) Death is just a guy trying to do his job.
I honestly find the trolls chef interesting for one thing; using cooking as power. Something heartwarming being evil isn’t something you see every day.
It makes sense considering the trolls are the things getting eaten. Take angry birds for example. The plot is that they’re protecting their eggs and fittingly, chef pig is ten times more menacing than king pig ever was, and chef pig is also the real main antagonist in angry birds epic Edit-I meant to say angry birds epic, originally said angry birds fight
Pitch Black is a great villain. He's smart, have a scary voice, his powers are cool. The adult can go everywhere and spy on kids which is creepy, he can attack them anywhere in the world and hides in shadows. I understand why he hates the guardians, humans believed in them and because of that; nobody can see him. Pitch is alone and forgotten, it's a bit sad. The villain terrorise the humans and probably killed some with his wave of nightmares, that's evil and impressive! I like him 😀 Death is the most scariest of all! He's unpredictable, fast and strong; can appear anywhere in the world like Pitch. Nothing can defeat him! He's terrifying!
The alien you talked about for Home should honestly be at the bottom rather than the racer. Because in addition to the stolen rock, one detail you left out is how this complete fool had his people hideout in one planet after another that ended up being destroyed in what was a long chase to take back the rock. Essentially, this man caused intergalactic genocide over not wanting to return the rock, and the reprocussions faced are so ridiculously minor it makes you wish the main character and his species became extinct at the end of the movie. The consequences are treated like a joke in Home, and it makes the ending of the film very infuriating to watch when the main species is nearly unforgivable for their stupidity and their atrocious leader having had so much life caught in the crossfire of a hunt for him, yet everything ends happily in their favor because the rock is finally returned and everything that went wrong throughout the story is just dropped like water under the bridge.
I honestly a 100% agree with your number one and number 2. Me and my partner were ranking dreamworks movies and I had that internal struggle of whether I like puss in boots enough to put it above Kung-fu panda 2 and at the end I was like I can't do it, Shen is too amazing of a villain. Don't get me wrong, I love Death and I love is whole Vibe and premise but Shen literally committed committed GENOCIDE. His story arc throughout that whole movie is absolutely stellar.
18:43 one of the coolest shadow shots ive seen (fyi i call shadows of characters that look like their owner but with distinguishing features (such as the voodoo guy from princess and frog or demons from any movie or show with demons) shadow shots) Just love that you can see the horns and tail, it looks so cool!
I agree with Lord Shen being number 1, not only is he my favourite dreamworks villain, he’s my favourite animated villain in general, he’s so sadistic but also funny and I love that he’s a mirror to Po, he’s literally the reason Po was sent to the valley of peace and Gary Oldman’s performance is just absolutely amazing
I knew from the beginning that shen would be too 10 and you didn’t disappoint. Something about that character wiping out an entire species is cold af and makes him the best dreamworks villains ever

A minor villain that you missed is Cortes in Road to El Dorado. The IRL conquistador started by capturing Miguel and Julio because they were stowaways. Then at the end, he was heading to El Dorado until the heroes blocked the entrance, sacrificing all the gold they got. While they never stated what he was doing besides going for the gold, it’s implied, as well as what happened in history, what he was going to do if he got there.
Gladys from over the hedge seems underrated because in my opinion, she is the most relatable villain we deal not only the movie, but in our society. She deserves a better place
Dreamworks has practically been a big part of my life with a few movies having a major impact on me than others. ANTS was my Dreamworks beginning The Prince of Egypt formed my interest in Egypt’s history, culture, lore, etc. The Road to El Dorado helped develop my love for history and first taught me about the Aztec tribes(and laughed every time Tulio yells “Holly ship!”)
The villain from over the hedge: its understandable, ofc you'd want the animal that keeps stealing your food to be dead The villain from mr peabody and sherman: once again, if your job is to make sure a kid is in good care, you wouldn't trust them with a dog with a time machine Idk how you consider nana to be a villain let alone antagonist Also ken is more of an antagonist than a villain
yeah I was ready to be disappointed by how low I thought you'd put Shen, but I'm so pleasantly surprised he's your favorite too, Kung Fu Panda 2 is my all time favorite movie and I love seeing Shen get some recognition !
It's surprising that for the best villain, Shen is pure evil. He doesn't have a backstory or any justifications towards any actions he does. He just wants the ultimate power over everyone, and whoever feels like a danger to his ruling, will be killed. He doesn't care for anyone who's lesser than him (the goat is always being misjudged or complained at but never did he physically threaten her or the wolf **maybe a bit but he did not kill him**) He's just so well written, and still had some comedic scenes which were small in duration, but we're still a bit of fresh air to his character.
Also the fact the Wolf leader; who is shown to not exactly be a great guy; even HE gets sick of Shen and turns his back on him because he sees how Shen just... dosen't care for his men at all. Shen is so bad even other villians see him as a jerk.
What do you mean no backstory? The movie literally starts with his backstory. He has motivation too, he himself explains it near the end of the movie where he talks with the soothsayer for the last time. "My parents have wronged me. And i will make it right"
@@cursedderg4541Well yeah he has a backstory, but the reason for everything he does has no reason other than wanting power. His family were already rulers and powerful, Shen just wanted more and nuked the pandas. He came back thinking he did a good thing but his parents were horrified and banished him and Shen took that as his motivation for everything later. So tldr Shen really is just evil, but he’s still slay for it
@@_clownicus_ Not power, validation. Shen was a leucistic peacock and was born sickly and weak. His parents were always neglectful of him seeing him as a waste and probably not capable to be a future ruler, and for most of his childhood the Soothsayer was his only parent. He committed genocide to prove that he was worthy of changing his "destiny", which is explicitly said in the film too. It wasn't about power, the movie shows this, it was about validation. These are all canon and were stated by the creators of the film.

Do you know how you read illumination video? What if you did a Sony video?
I think what's so appealing about Shen's character is that he exhibits a trait villains rarely show until AFTER the hero wins: regret. about halfway through the movie, he starts to unravel and go (fully) insane. this due to him struggling to cope with the fact that he secretly realizes that he's gone too far, but its too late. he should've listened to the soothsayer, but too many people have already died and he's so close to achieving his goal. there's hints but it becomes fully apparent with his final conversation with the soothsayer, where he loses the last person that cared about him. His insanity becomes a coping mechanism meant to overcompensate for his guilt. now all alone, he lets him self get consumed by greed and delusions of grandeur until the last moment when the cannon collapses. I think the reason why he refuses to let up even when Po offers him mercy is not because he wants to take over china, but because he's already committed so many atrocious deeds from breaking his parents hearts to killing the pandas, and to turn back would render everything he did pointless and everyone he killed died for nothing.

I think Death’s motive is good. He is punishing Puss for carelessly throwing is lives away, but when Puss learned to cherish what he has then Death leaves him alone.
Then just let Puss die!
But he doesn't have the right to take his last life away from him.

Death is less of a villain and more of an antagonist. He was a genuine negative surrounding threat throughout the movie but what he was doing wasn't morally wrong nor was it in any way evil in his eyes, he was quite literally just doing his job. And the ending of PIB:TLW shows his intentions were only driven by the assumption that Puss was never going to change, and when proven wrong, Death did in fact give him his fair and final chance.
I’d call him an anti villain
I'm so sick of these comments, man. The film makes it very clear he's not doing his job. Puss still had one life, and taking that from him was Death's personal vendetta. Even when he changes his mind he says "you're ruining this for me" because it was a game to him and he enjoyed taking the life of an arrogant legend. Is he an interesting character? Yes. Is he also a villain? Yes.

He actually said why not watch
Both Shen and Death had great traumatic psychological effects on their respective protagonists at the mere sight of them. This forced them to fight overcome and ultimately growing as characters. As great as Death is however, he was more of a force, a presence, as he should be being the anthropomorphic personification of death and all (now there a fancy way of saying it if there ever was one). Shen had this but was more of a character, with a backstory, goals and an arc. His actions created a personal tie to the Po and shaped the trajectory of his life going forward from that point. Shen was the hero of his own story and he created his own villian.
Lord Shen is clearly, but I think Death is truly a villain and an antagonist. Nothing prevents it from being both. That's exactly what makes him great. It counts for a villain, again.
As for the people who say he's just doing his job, it should say them that's what villains do, do their evil deeds.
And besides, it's better to portray our favorite negative character as a cool bad boy than just a neutral worker who's just doing job and and is above evils.
I also think Lord Shen is the best villain (DreamWorks one), his backstory, his voice, the emotion it all makes him my favorite villain. Even though Death is scariest one.
Yes, I completely agree with you, he was not afraid of death, he accepted it
@@button616 Plus his words like "happiness... must be taken, and I would take mine" with his voice or "The only reason you are still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing" made me laugh, cry, feel some sort of fear etc. He is great, cold blooded villain with quite sad backstory, that he caused himself. Plus his moments with Po are just pure amusement :D The comedic ones I mean. Ah but by Death being scariest I meant the Death from Puss in Boots, but true Shen just accepted his death.
Yeah tai lung is my favorite in the trilogy but out of the three of them as pure villains lord shen is the best
He’s threatening, has many funny scenes, epic back story, incredible voice, and definitely one of the most success character design ever. Best villain 10/10
"the grandma from Madagascar in the corner"
I like how DreamWorks villains can be either one of the three tropes:
-They are fun and whacky, yet dangerous.
-They are super intimidating and send a chill down your spine.
-Both.
(Now imagine if we mix all of DreamWork’s villains into one amalgamation. We would be doomed.)
I shudder to think what would come of humanity
Solution to this if one amalgamation like that exist in our world...
Good luck trying to survive for more than ten seconds 👍
@@camorangerenthusiast6 no only some do
Humanity would be extinct in less than 2 months…
The majority of DreamWork's villains are strong in combat, either by hand-to-hand combat like all of Kung Fu Panda's villains or Titan, with those rarely being intelligent like Professor Poopypants, the Verminator or Rumpelstiltskin. So hybridizing all of the villains together would mostly be brawn with a dash of intelligence given to them. Even though some like Prince Charming would harm the hybrid, the pros outweigh the cons.
You have basically an amalgamation that not only is super strong and intelligent, but also magical like Kai's jade powers or Fairy God Mother.
10:13 I just love the fact that he only talks about the design and not the actual evil things she does

Dubois is probably my favourite villain here. She's funny in a way that never takes away from her scary badassery. I also love her design, it's unusual for a scary antagonist but they sell it really well. I never imagined someone on a scooter with twenty mirrors could be intimidating.
There's also the scene where she runs through solid concrete walls
She's intimidating as fk
I love her because she's the cartoon version (but not in personality), of my mother's family deceased grandmother. Really, my mother actually had a lot of laughs of the character

@@mrs.dollkiller of course hence the name "DUBOIS"
Concerning Death's backstory; it doesn't really matter. He says it himself, he's Death, straight up. He is the physical manifestation of the concept of death. Not the grim reaper, literal death. He doesn't take souls, he is what happens when a soul leaves a body, when a heart stops beating. He isn't a person, he's a force, one that is absolute, one that happens to everything. Also I'm pretty sure he chose the form of a giant latino wolf just to f*ck with Puss.

I think Shen is really great but I like Death more. He actually felt like there was no way to win
Yeah one of the best things about Death is that we know so little about him. After all, few things are more terrifying to most people than the unknown. Another thing that makes him great is how he is used sparingly in the story, so that when he does show up it is much more impactful.
"Its a parting gift, in that it will part you. Part of you here, part of you there, part of you waaay over there STAINING THE WALL!" Shen was so obsessed with conquering china and Gary Oldmans performance sells it so extremely good. Its a mix of narcissism and pure insanity

Im not saying it’s a bad thing, its just that a great villain + backstory is better than a great villain
@@JesseJokes that IS true.(unless it's an illumination backstory)
Pitch Black actually has no real motive but the his back story is amazing. He was actually a heroic general and the leader of the golden army. He was also married and has a daughter. He fought against the nightmares and imprisoned them. He also guarded them, knowing they would try to manipulate him. They succeded one day by immitating his daughter emily crying for help. He released them, they consumed him and he became pitch black. His daughter is still alive but i think the nightmares killed his wife. So he is actually not evil but posesses.
The world building in the original books is amazing and quite dark. I wish they would make a real show out of it.
Honestly, I do not think that Death is a villain, unless you think some one that has been getting disrespected as one. He's there to, as they say, to put some respect into that Puss and in the end, he is the one that got Puss to be a better person. Death is not a hero, but not a villain as well.
no, he is a villain and you're wrong about him being related to puss improving, most of the time he just pushed him to use the wish for himself
🤓
Death isn't an Villain you're correct he was just doing his job. Yes he broke some rules but besides that he was just doing his job.
Yes he an antagonist but villian??? NO
@@StealthBomber422 when you break rules you're not doing the job anymore, you're cheating
and he acts pretty villainous
@@zephyr9852 He is a symbolic force of nature - death is unpredictable and menacing, but that doesn't make it villainous. Death is a conflict of man vs nature and man vs self - it only extends to man vs man in this movie because death is personified as the wolf. If the wolf was omitted entirely, the threat of death would still have the same impact. Impending doom is a very common driving force for a person to change their ways to either prolong or appreciate their life. Death is a fact of life that Puss has to come to terms with - not a villain to defeat.
Fun fact:
Rise of the guardians it's based off one of my favorite book series, in which is explained how Pitch (around 3000 years ago) was Lord General Kozmotis Pitchiner, one of the greatest militar figures of the golden ages of space, he was a huge threat to the shadow army, (basically a whole army of different kinds of fearlings that conquered planets and consumed the souls of people) So they went after his family, his wife jumped of a tower with a doll pretending it was her daughter, meanwhile, the daughter ended up stuck inside a star that was later on befriended by Sanderson Mansnoozie (AKA Sandy) A dreamer whose work was to dream about other people´s dreams and, if he found them pure, sent them a magical dream that would show them how to achieve their wish.
The star later on after a lot of battles ended up crashing in earth, freeing Pitch's daughter who became mother nature.
Meanwhile all of the above happened, Pitchiner, believing his family was dead, asked his superiors to protect the great shadow prision, where the fearlings faked his daughter's voice and tricked him to enter the cell, consuming his whole body and turning him into the king of all nightmares.
The books are amazing and have some of the best illustrations iv'e ever seen. 100% reccomended.
Im sorry for my grammar, english is not my first language.
“And i’ve got a cage in a briefcase” got me dying on the floor
Death even explains it himself. He is quite literally an embodiment of death. Death is a force of nature, which is why hes almost not even a villain. He always has existed, and will exist as long as life exists. I think how mysterious the character is only makes his character stronger, because death (literal loss of life) is mysterious. In my opinion its a masterfully done character that i think can help a lot of people process their inevitable mortality, amd help demonstrate the value of living

Edit: Omg tysm for 1 like 😊
Shen has great dialogue, voice, character design and the emotional ties he has to po truly makes him the best villain
I'd say that Death not having a lot of screen time is part of what makes him a huge menace, you never know when he's gonna show up but you always fear that he will.
If he was there more, i feel like this impression wouldn't be as strong as it is in the movie.
I was confused when he said he needed more info on him. He doesn’t have a backstory, he’s Death. Of course he’s immortal, he’s Death. You don’t need to know any more about him cause he’s Death. Straight up.
Honestly, props to Dreamworks for making a SEQUEL to a rather mid SPIN-OFF and causing a whirlwind on the Internet because of how good it was.
Of course, their portrayal of the biggest force of nature absolutely helped. Nobody that has seen that movie will see "The Big Bad Wolf" the same ever again.

I honestly find the trolls chef interesting for one thing; using cooking as power. Something heartwarming being evil isn’t something you see every day.
It makes sense considering the trolls are the things getting eaten. Take angry birds for example. The plot is that they’re protecting their eggs and fittingly, chef pig is ten times more menacing than king pig ever was, and chef pig is also the real main antagonist in angry birds epic
Edit-I meant to say angry birds epic, originally said angry birds fight
Hollup….Let her cook
Pitch Black is a great villain. He's smart, have a scary voice, his powers are cool. The adult can go everywhere and spy on kids which is creepy, he can attack them anywhere in the world and hides in shadows. I understand why he hates the guardians, humans believed in them and because of that; nobody can see him. Pitch is alone and forgotten, it's a bit sad. The villain terrorise the humans and probably killed some with his wave of nightmares, that's evil and impressive! I like him 😀
Death is the most scariest of all! He's unpredictable, fast and strong; can appear anywhere in the world like Pitch. Nothing can defeat him! He's terrifying!
The alien you talked about for Home should honestly be at the bottom rather than the racer. Because in addition to the stolen rock, one detail you left out is how this complete fool had his people hideout in one planet after another that ended up being destroyed in what was a long chase to take back the rock. Essentially, this man caused intergalactic genocide over not wanting to return the rock, and the reprocussions faced are so ridiculously minor it makes you wish the main character and his species became extinct at the end of the movie. The consequences are treated like a joke in Home, and it makes the ending of the film very infuriating to watch when the main species is nearly unforgivable for their stupidity and their atrocious leader having had so much life caught in the crossfire of a hunt for him, yet everything ends happily in their favor because the rock is finally returned and everything that went wrong throughout the story is just dropped like water under the bridge.

Death is the best dream works character
@@Afellowpieceofbeefhe is the best animated movie villain
Fairy godmother isn't in the 3rd Shrek film. She is referenced though
@@APAMVs ok
Try getting a life
There is no way that you forgot “The Colonel” aka the villain of the movie Spirit. THE BEST MOVIE OF DREAMEORKS 😭😭😭😭
Jack Horner with Jiminy Cricket on his shoulder was comedic gold. Also, my 6 year old was terrified of Death, she got so scared when we watched it.
play the whistle sound at max volume if you catch your 6 year old up after bedtime
Jessy jokes is sus
My kid was more afraid of death than the FNAF movie lol
A minor villain that you missed is Cortes in Road to El Dorado. The IRL conquistador started by capturing Miguel and Julio because they were stowaways. Then at the end, he was heading to El Dorado until the heroes blocked the entrance, sacrificing all the gold they got. While they never stated what he was doing besides going for the gold, it’s implied, as well as what happened in history, what he was going to do if he got there.
He missed some villains like Melvin Sneedly, Creek, Hendricks, Colonel Custer, Don Lino and Layton Montgomery
Gladys from over the hedge seems underrated because in my opinion, she is the most relatable villain we deal not only the movie, but in our society. She deserves a better place
As Jesse would say (she is a Karen)
Yeah I thought she was a realistic villain with our modern society to a bunch of wild critters. Made sense to me even as a kid lol
Pam, what in your world are you doing? That hamster is not thinking
22:07 Calling him a simp is an insult to simps, he was a creep from the beginning
25:07 "This little gremlin!" Got me dead laughing 💀
I agree a TON with your #1 pick, Shen is awesome, terrifying, and has a lot of depth
Mrs Tweedy is probably my favorite villain because yet she’s in a low number she’s still the most intimidating one, especially the last part.
I don’t completely agree with the rating system but the effort put into this video for such a small channel is mind blowing great video
Dreamworks has practically been a big part of my life with a few movies having a major impact on me than others.
ANTS was my Dreamworks beginning
The Prince of Egypt formed my interest in Egypt’s history, culture, lore, etc.
The Road to El Dorado helped develop my love for history and first taught me about the Aztec tribes(and laughed every time Tulio yells “Holly ship!”)
You mean ANT *Z*
1. Death 2. Ramses 3. Tai Lung. Those are the three absolute stand outs to me.
Ramses is goated prince of Egypt is underrated
🦚 on 🔝
@@JumpierGT Not anymore
The villain from over the hedge: its understandable, ofc you'd want the animal that keeps stealing your food to be dead
The villain from mr peabody and sherman: once again, if your job is to make sure a kid is in good care, you wouldn't trust them with a dog with a time machine
Idk how you consider nana to be a villain let alone antagonist
Also ken is more of an antagonist than a villain
Karen is from the HOA. She deserved every misfortune thrown at her.
Tbf Kai's backstory isn't weak, it is great, but not as good as Tai Lung's. Also Ramses needs to be no 1 imo, he has a lot of conflicts with Moses.
Yesterday i rewatched the prince of Egypt and rn I would’ve ranked him higher, probably nr 5
yeah I was ready to be disappointed by how low I thought you'd put Shen, but I'm so pleasantly surprised he's your favorite too, Kung Fu Panda 2 is my all time favorite movie and I love seeing Shen get some recognition
!
24:20 sounds like tom when he gets his tail bit
Toms scream has a slighty different one
Where it had hoo at the end
“HEY PETER!” -Spider man comes out of nowhere-
death doesnt need a backstory, he is death, straight up.

He actually did

It's surprising that for the best villain, Shen is pure evil. He doesn't have a backstory or any justifications towards any actions he does. He just wants the ultimate power over everyone, and whoever feels like a danger to his ruling, will be killed. He doesn't care for anyone who's lesser than him (the goat is always being misjudged or complained at but never did he physically threaten her or the wolf **maybe a bit but he did not kill him**)
He's just so well written, and still had some comedic scenes which were small in duration, but we're still a bit of fresh air to his character.
He is freezer
Also the fact the Wolf leader; who is shown to not exactly be a great guy; even HE gets sick of Shen and turns his back on him because he sees how Shen just... dosen't care for his men at all.
Shen is so bad even other villians see him as a jerk.
What do you mean no backstory? The movie literally starts with his backstory. He has motivation too, he himself explains it near the end of the movie where he talks with the soothsayer for the last time. "My parents have wronged me. And i will make it right"
@@cursedderg4541Well yeah he has a backstory, but the reason for everything he does has no reason other than wanting power. His family were already rulers and powerful, Shen just wanted more and nuked the pandas. He came back thinking he did a good thing but his parents were horrified and banished him and Shen took that as his motivation for everything later. So tldr Shen really is just evil, but he’s still slay for it
@@_clownicus_ Not power, validation. Shen was a leucistic peacock and was born sickly and weak. His parents were always neglectful of him seeing him as a waste and probably not capable to be a future ruler, and for most of his childhood the Soothsayer was his only parent.
He committed genocide to prove that he was worthy of changing his "destiny", which is explicitly said in the film too. It wasn't about power, the movie shows this, it was about validation.
These are all canon and were stated by the creators of the film.
