[@neongnin6717]

But Shrek the Third DOESN’T exist 🤔

[@leopardbunny]

Another thing worth mentioning is that making Shrek so small in comparison to the other ogres feels like a sort of rebuttal to the most problematic part of the first movie when Shrek mocked Farquaad for his height, literally bringing Shrek down to his level in a sense, while, if memory serves at least, also not mocking him in the same way. The movie could've easily still sold the idea that Shrek feels like a fish out of water around other ogres through his expressions alone, but there's something kind of humbling about having those tables turned on him so thoroughly in a movie that parallels the first so much.

[@tizzellit2368]

They kinda fixed shreks size in the Christmas spectacular special, shrek is around their size but slightly smaller, it kinda bothered me how small he was, but the creators probably know shrek is supposed to be intimidating so they fixed it.

[@altantulga8138]

Why is making fun of someones height problematic? Lmfao snowflakes be mad about everything these days

[@drd444]

You used problematic unironically. I bet you're a midget.

[@Gingersnaps_the_pumpkin_kitty]

Eh, Farquad was a fuckwad who was compensating for his height not matching his ego so I don't see it as that problematic tbh. Nobody hated him for being short, they hated him for being a narcissistic dick who just happened to be both short and in denial of it. Even he couldn't live up to his "perfect" standards and yet he still tried forcing them on everyone, like most abusive asshats. Particularly the bigoted ones. Kinda like how anti-choice Republicans get mocked for having pregnant mistresses or how homophobic priests and pastors get mocked for indulging in gay porn. It's towards the whole scenario not necessarily that one aspect. I do like the parallels to their feelings of insecurity and how they both compensated by being pushy dicks, just I don't think mocking an insecure and abusive bigoted asshole for not meeting his own high standards of "perfection" is "problematic".

[@AtlasBlizzard]

I thought it was really wholesome that despite being smaller than them, the other ogres didn't mock Shrek for being smaller, seeing him as an equal.

[@luzherrera4463]

I had no idea Shrek IV was hated in the anglosphere, here in Latin America is often regarded as a great conclusion to the franchise and very loved, and even memed. Maybe it's because of the brilliant dub we were given.

@@user-ls5dd8sd6h I think I saw it on a FB reel or YT Short of Shrek trivia

[@WayToTheDoubler]

I feel like a lot of people miss how the ending of the movie retools the moment that made Shrek snap. At the party at the beginning of the movie, Shrek’s roar is him venting out his frustration. But when everyone starts applauding and cheering for him, it only makes him angrier and he smashes the cake. When he returns to the party after the alternate reality collapses, the cheering and applause is almost congratulating him on returning home, with everyone cheering his name. Then the party carries on as normal, as Donkey asks Shrek to give his kids an encore before shouting “That’s my best friend!”, almost as if Donkey is giddy that Shrek made it back safely after fading away. It’s a really clever piece of writing that makes the ending all the more emotional to me.

One thing I definitely love about Rumpelstiltskin is that he didn’t just win, he won fair and square, no lying, no fighting, no unfair advantages And if anyone wants to argue that point, he shows people the contracts they signed, including the oh so important part of the contract, the one we are always told to read before signing any contract, and yet another life lesson this movie gives to us If the heroes wanted to beat Rumpel without any conflict, all they’d ever have to do is one simple thing READ THE FINE PRINT!!!

[@MageBurger]

What’s really good about your last point is that’s precisely how Shrek wins at the end of the movie. It’s almost like a KFP1 Shifu sends the bird to Tai Lung’s prison situation, where if Rumpel didn’t put out the bounty, Shrek would’ve lost because true love didn’t work. It was Shrek who immediately recognised the opportunity with his own bounty which allowed the other ogre prisoners to be free.

[@Connor56497]

People say nasty things they don’t mean when they’re frustrated let’s be real and it takes awhile for them to fully come to terms with their mistakes. It’s pretty common for people to not immediately regret something mean they said or did cause they’re overtaken by anger and they’re convinced it was justified. That is so accurate I’m pretty sure we’ve all had those moments.

I almost shed a tear when the book closes, revealing them on the cover, that is, that fairy tales exist and they can be in it. Such a closure moment since he tore apart that cover at the very beginning of the first movie. Ogres can be happy and have their forever happy ending, too. Such poetry in that.

[@MarvelDCFanGal]

I only watched this movie once when I was 10 years old and it was in theatres. I remember not liking it because I hated Rumplestiltskin's design and character, I didn't like the concept of the alternate universe here, and I just felt like the movie was too boring for me. So it was pretty forgettable, and I never watched it again. Now, I'm 23 years old. And after randomly checking out the Shrek franchise again, I finally grew to appreciate the *layers* of emotional storytelling this movie went through. The realistic crisis that Shrek was going through hit home for me. Understanding what isolation did to Fiona made me sympathize with her. Rumplestiltskin's motive and actions made me see how evil he really is. Shrek's tears when he realized he had given up his family forever, his desperately trying to convince a jaded Fiona to love him, their finally loving each other, and Shrek telling Fiona that she saved him that day in the tower all made me cry. Really, all I needed to love this movie was to grow up. It is definitely a severely underrated movie, and I hope kids like me grow up to understand this movie as it was meant to be understood. I know Shrek 5 could be around the corner because of The Last Wish. But this really is the perfect ending for Shrek, and I can't imagine a better send-off than this.

[@memecliparchives2254]

I think Shrek 5 could tell the story of discovering of finding the ogres that were in Forever After to how they're doing in the present restored timeline. Plus since Forever After was about an endearing struggle for freedom of ogrekind, perhaps it could Shrek and Fiona to seek out more ogres so they can live more freely and be a part of building a better world with them. And a potential conflict for this plot point is that certain ogres would just prefer to be left alone, etc. Heck, Shrek's parents and Donkey's origins could also be supporting plot points too.😊

He would’ve probably never had the motivation to break free & escape & Rumple would’ve won before the third act was over.
