To clarify what happened to Fairy Godmother at the end, she cast a spell that basically cancels out all the magic within a target. If the spell hit Shrek or Fiona, it would have turned them back into ogres. When it hit Harold, it turned him back into a frog, and when the spell bounced off his armor and hit Fairy Godmother, it destroyed her because she's a purely magical being.

[@leovk5779]

Hm. I saw it more as a "kill" spell, she really wanted her revange, hence why she died, but the king's armor deflected most of it so he was less affected? (In my theory, that also might explain why in Shrek 3 -SPOILER REDACTED-, which came a bit out of nowhere.) Your explanation makes sense, but I feel it's too nice for the evil character that she is. "Ill just turn you back into ogres, that'll teach you!" And then what, how does that even help her in any way?

[@peterseaboldt1250]

@@leovk5779 I think in her mind, just having Shrek's "divine beauty" taken away and being an ogre is punishment enough. Plus, she was all about spoiling her son, so she likely wanted to see Charming fulfill his role by slaying the "monster" and getting the girl.

[@leovk5779]

@@peterseaboldt1250 Maybe, yeah. But she clearly aims at both of them, so it would also have made Fiona an ogre too. Any plan was out the window, I'm thinking she was more seeking revenge, but having Charming slaying "Shrek the monster" makes sense.

[@peterseaboldt1250]

@@leovk5779 If she turned Fiona into an ogre, Fairy Godmother could easily have turned her back, because Fiona's not "really" an ogre in the first place. In fact, some believe that Fairy Godmother is really the witch that caused her situation to begin with.

[@leovk5779]

@@peterseaboldt1250 Nah. That I don't believe at all: it's a curse, and even Fairy Godmother wasn't able to lift it easily. Everything points to that: she tried to send Charming, but too late; if she could have lifted the curse at any time, I don't think she would have missed the opportunity. Also, in Shrek 4 (SPOILERS just in case obviously) we see the parents desperate that say that even Fairy Godmother couldn't do anything, which means that even without Shrek her plan FAILS and Charming likely gets killed by the dragon. Fiona, having waited for so long, then rescue herself, with the curse not lifted. Also, after Shrek 1, yes Fiona IS really an ogre, the curse is lifted. She is, and I quote "beautiful in the eyes of her lover". That is her true form now, not just the curse lingering. The potion in Shrek 2 only temporarily turns her back into a human, and only true love's kiss could have definitively turned her into a human again (a power stronger than the curse, like in Shrek 1 and even Shrek 4, a power that even the Fairy Godmother cannot wield at will.)

there were so many nods to other media in this movie (example: when puss and donkey are singing and it says "and go dancing in the rain", he sits in the chair and pulls the chain to make water rain down - that's an iconic scene from the 80's movie 'flashdance'), it's amazing. definitely one of the best sequels ever made.

The climax is about 85% as to why I'd believe Shrek 2 is as loved as it is, but the whole movie is gold. The first Shrek was an amazing achievement from Dreamworks and a great parody kinda movie. With 2 it's like they really hit their stride in using the parody bits and making it a full fledged movie.

[@tristancreed]

It was meant to be Jeffrey Katzenberg's act of flashing a middle finger at Disney. But the whole franchise ended up becoming a cultural icon.

The sequel did what sequels are supposed to do, but very few have ever actually accomplished. "Shrek 2" is on the very short list of sequels, ever made, that have been inarguably superior to the original film!

Just like Donkey has become for Eddie Murphy, I think that Puss is the perfect career send-off for Antonio Banderas. Both were pretty hot stuff in their younger years, but now, they're iconic, so all anybody needs to do is hear their voices, and they know who they are. Nobody needs to see how much either man is aging, they just need to hear their voices, and pretend otherwise. lol

well these movies are great, that's without a single doubt, but it's kinda sad, that the origin story of puss doesn't by any mean correlate with his real origin story where he was actually Ogre killer. he didn't have a career based on that, but he's famous for killing one and that's why he's said to be suited for killing ogres in this movie

Donkey was supposed to kiss dragon, but that whole concept always makes me wonder what dragon would've turned into

This is one of those movies that I rewatched constantly as a kid. It's probably the most used DVD in my collection.

Shrek 2 is one of those phenomenon's where it seems almost universally, people recognize it as an amazing movie. I've talked to people all over the world who had seen it and they loved it, Shrek in general has such good storytelling and comedic moments. Considering it started as a punishment, people who didn't perform well on Prince of Egypt were "shreked", sent to work on what they thought was a failure, turned out to be a classic.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish must be watched. It is currently my animated movie of the year and you honestly don't have to watch the first one to watch it. I figured you would eventually get to it since you are working on the Shrek movies.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Bring on Shrek 3!!!

[@dannypatrick9361]

I love that the internet loves this movie. I love this movie. I vividly remember seeing it in a cinema in Ireland when I was visiting family as a kid. But Terminator 2 exists. So it cannot be the best sequel ever made.

[@lofilipeta]

you might have missed the aftercredits scene. It is a scene of after the party

[@edu_moonwalker]

Shrek 2 it was my very first movie ever from the franchise on VHS, I've only seen few times the first one at tv. Fun reaction Nat! This is indeed one of the best sequels ever made.

[@spicymccrash899]

I just wanted to point out I was totally shocked and stoked to see you show up at the poppies last weekend. You and Cassie are my favorite reactors. That was sooo awesome!!

[@mr.moviemafia]

"SHREK 2" and "PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH" are honestly on the same level in terms of quality. They are two of the most groundbreaking animated movies and perfect sequels ever made, Shrek 2 is one of my favorite comedies ever, and Puss in Boots 2 was tied with EEAAO as my favorite film of 2022. I genuinely can't wait for Nat to watch Puss in Boots 2!

I only now realized that Fiona’s parents were the princess and the frog when they were younger not the Disney one but their own version.

[@scottmanuel281]

Now that you've shared in the glory of Shrek 2 all you gotta do is watch Shrek 3 and you'll share our pain

[@marlonclark1896]

yeah

[@orbboom6119]

And then Shrek 4 which is a great finale

[@Naahi95]

​@@orbboom6119 I think I'm in the minority, but I hated Shrek 4 😭

[@NatetheGreat2015]

Shrek 4 is probably my favorite of the 4. Mind you I love all of them, even 3. So take it as you will. 😅

[@user-pm2b47ar8d]

I'll take Shrek 3 but not 4

[@hummus_exual]

The Fairy Godmother is such a vicious manipulator and amazing villain, and she’s the puppet master behind Fiona’s entire existence. She’s the one who turned King Harold into a human so that he could marry Queen Lillian, and she’s the one who, to ensure herself the kingdom, casted the curse on Fiona so that only Charming could ever marry her and one day be king.

[@mevb]

There're several hints on Harold being a frog: Harold reacts to Shrek and Fiona lives in a swamp, Queen Lillian mentions that they used to walk among the lilypads when they were young, the milf frog at The Poisoned Apple asks Harold if she have seen him somehwre and Harold said to Fiona that he changed for her mother.

[@MAY4C0MICS]

the best movie sequel ever made

[@marlonclark1896]

👍👍👍

[@andrewwang8021]

I would enjoy it immensely if she reacts to Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

[@abc.animal5143]

And the first movie as well

[@thebatman4279]

Same, I love that film.

[@jflexys5114]

I love when she does that chair turn!

[@jackbrigoli7452]

This really is one of the best sequals of all time. I love every movie in the franchise especially the first one, but this movie, in my opinion, has to be the best of all four. Its certainly my favourite.

[@Archphoenix1]

I really want Nat to watch the new Puss in boots. its soo good

[@wynnyx7071]

The Last Wish made me cry harder than I expected I would to a Puss movie

[@tuliotoscano]

I love when Natalie laugh and when she gets emotional. ❤

[@lessismore8533]

One if the BEST sequels of all time!

[@alexfilma16]

[@najhoant]

King Harold being a frog is actually foreshadowed early in the movie, like the queen mentioning they met at a lily pond and the castle having frog and lily stained glass windows
