(spoilers for Puss in Boots The Last Wish)
You can see him in the Background of the crowd (about 7:10) when Puss is fighting the Giant
As Puss recounts his deaths he's there again literally around the corner of the number cards
In the bar fight right before first blood, you can see the kill tally on the sickles way before the character points it out later.
Wolf/Death shows up again right after Puss brags to the crowd, he puts the coins in his eyes not just to look creepy but as a reference to the Greek tradition of putting coins over the eyes of the dead
When Death shows up in the Dark Forest, it's after members of the Baker's Dozen have started to die around Puss. Going by fairytale rules I don't think that Wolf/Death would be able to find Puss without death in Perrito's version of the Dark Forest.
Also in the cave it's funny that the Puss who died cheating at cards is the one to call out Death for cheating by coming to kill Puss himself instead of waiting for him to die naturally.
You don't show blood in animated films, it's like almost a taboo thing. You can show characters getting beat up and bruised but never bleeding. It defies all corporate beliefs of making it a "kids movie". Even GDT's Pinocchio which has fucking nazis in it and guns shooting people never showed blood in it. It's just that sacred of a thing in animation that studios never cross.
But Puss in Boots, they showed it. Not only that, you get a fucking close up on it. Do you know how rare that is? The people who made it probably fought every tooth and nail to get this moment approved, because this is unprecedented in this industry. You don't show actual blood bleeding I cant stress how much this is such a nono in this industry.
But for this moment it's perfect, the inevitability of death in Puss in Boot's eyes, the amount of risk the studio took to get this moment in the film approved, shows how much DreamWorks really cares and wants this movie to not just be another haha kids film but for the adults watching it, the people who have seen the world and fear death, those with anxiety, get panic attacks, unsure about life the universe, getting married, being a family. These aren't ideas catered to kids.
Everytime I've seen people be like "oh studios need to stop making boring ass animations and actually make a film about serious topics and have better animation and care about the movie" THIS IS IT FOLKS. A STUDIO LISTENED AND IT'S OUT HERE IN YOUR FACE.
So seriously go watch Puss in Boots. It's incredible and you're missing out on something beautiful if you don't.
Schools: don’t teach those skills anymore
Stuff: is made to not be repairable
Tools & Materials: are priced as a luxury
Working Hours: have expanded to take up a lot of people’s whole day and weekends
Wages: have stagnated so that everyone has to work full time
“News” media: Your dad is better at DIY than you, ya dick!
lets not forget:
Your parents: have never actually taught you any of those things either
YouTube has taught me shit my parents straight up didn’t make time to teach me
There’s actually a YouTube channel called “Dad How do I?”
It is created by a man whose Father left him when he was 12, and as a way to help folks like himself who didn’t have a Dad, he posts videos of tutorials on DIY and basic life skills (tying a tie, changing a tire, how to grill, how to make X recipe, etc).
He also has videos where he reads children’s books aloud if you want to be read to by a Dad, makes motivational comments and pep talks, and even makes Dad Jokes in his videos.
Ever since the idea of an Arcane daemon AU occurred to me, I have not known peace.
