History YMMV / PussInBootsTheLastWish

* CommonKnowledge: The insect that tries to give Jack a conscience is not Jiminy Cricket. He is never once addressed as Jiminy Cricket, and the credits call him "The Ethical Bug." But given ''just'' [[CaptainErsatz how obvious the inspiration is (down to the Jimmy Stewart impression)]], along with the fact that Pinocchio already exists in this universe, you can't exactly blame people for making the assumption.

** [[Characters/PussInBootsTheWolf The Wolf]] introduces himself as a BountyHunter come to claim Puss's life. He ends up inflicting a CurbStompBattle on Puss, before letting Puss flee intending to build terror and humiliation in him. Throughout the rest of the film he appears taunting Puss with his presence and [[KnightOfCerebus psychologically tormenting him]]. Finally confronting him again, he reveals himself to be [[spoiler:[[TheGrimReaper Death]], come to punish Puss for his arrogance and cavalierness towards his past eight lives]]. Puss flees again to wish for nine more lives but the Wolf confronts him. Facing his fears, he battles the Wolf and acknowledges that while he can never truly beat the bounty hunter, he'll never stop fighting for this life. Briefly throwing a tantrum, the Wolf quickly calms down, noting that he came to kill an arrogant legend, but he doesn't "see him anymore." Acknowledging they'll meet again, he walks off into the night, whistling.

* CompleteMonster: In the {{novelization}} by Cala Spinner: [[Characters/PussInBootsJackHorner "Robbin' Big" Jack Horner]] lacks most of the comedic elements of his film counterpart and [[AdaptationalVillainy becomes something far more sinister]]. [[FromNobodyToNightmare Once a lonely baker's boy]] who sought true happiness, Jack hopes to use the power of the Wishing Star to acquire all the magic in the world, uncaring that it would incite chaos, mass panic, and total destruction [[PsychopathicManchild just as long as he can hold the whole world under his thumb]]. [[BadBoss Carelessly killing and abusing his own Baker's Dozen until they're all dead]], from burning one alive, to whipping them for fun, Jack proves himself one of the cruelest characters encountered by Puss and friends.

* ItWasHisSled: By this point, the internet has all but spoiled the twist that [[spoiler:the Wolf is actually the literal personification of Death.]]
* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: All of the villains in the movie are very enjoyable for many reasons (Jack Horner for being LaughablyEvil, Goldilocks and the Bears for their complex relationship and Death due to EvilIsCool). The one character people can despise is the Governor of Del-Mar at the beginning and end of the movie for his jerk-like treatment of everyone around him.

* LoveToHate: Big Jack Horner is, in the words of the Ethical Bug, "[[BeyondRedemption an irreemable monster]]". The closest thing he has to a quality is his [[CardCarryingVillain honesty and awareness about how utterly selfish and amoral he is]]. Yet many viewers, while not rooting for him still enjoy his screen time for the [[LaughablyEvil dark humor]] he provides in addition to being a surprisingly believable character in spite of his simple personality. Another reason for his praises is that he's a breath of fresh air for many who are tired of [[TragicVillain Tragic Villains]] or [[GrayingMorality Graying Moralities]] that have become overused in the Creator/{{Disney}} movies of the last few years; with Big Jack being a [[CyclicTrope return to the tradition]].

** Kitty's "Softpaws" moniker is changed in the Japanese version to "Fuwa-Fuwaa-te". "Fuwa-fuwa te" means "soft hand", while "fuwaate" is an approximate Japanese pronunciation of the Spanish "fuerte" for "strong".

* LoveToHate: Big Jack Horner is generally seen as one of the highlights of the movie due to how [[LaughablyEvil comically and unapologetically evil]] he is, being favorably compared to how classic animation villains used to be instead of more recent, complex twist villains. Many fans even consider him to be the most wicked villain in the whole Shrek franchise, even rivaling Rumpelstiltskin.

* ItWasHisSled: The plot twist of the Wolf being eventually revealed [[spoiler: to be [[TheGrimReaper Death]] (straight up)]] is something that quickly entered into public knowledge.
