History Headscratchers / ShrekTheThird

** Either baby ogres flatulence is less lethal than that of an adult, or dronkeys are more resistance to such strong smells since the ability to exhale fire would clearly give them a stronger respitory system. Or maybe both?

* In the first film, Shrek mentions to Donkey that he would be dead if he smelled one of his farts. This is perfectly shown at the beginning when Shrek farts while bathing and a fish behind him dies because of it. However, at the end of the film, during the sequence in which Shrek and Fiona along with their family and friends take care of their newborn triplets, one of the baby ogres farts in front of one the Dronkeys after said Dronkey burps fire and that combination lights the chimney. Shouldn't the little ogre's fart have killed the Dronkey?

*** Well, I think that Rose Red (Snow White’s sister in Snow-White and Rose-Red) might surpass her as the fairest and Snow might get rid of her using questionable means.

** It may be that the factory disappeared after the Fairy Godmother's death, as often happens in fantasy (when the witch, evil wizard or whatever dies, their spells and creations tend to crumble shortly after). Or it may be that the King and Queen punished Charming for his involvement with the plot by stripping him of his fortune. Or maybe even the elves who worked for the Fairy Godmother refused to work for the childish, spoiled, egotist Charming (they were already unhappy working under his mother anyway), leaving no one to work the factory. It wouldn't have been easy for Charming to find new workers considering the whole kingdom despised him.

** Plus as well, he’s a half-fairy human. This troper believes that half-fairy humans don’t inherit magic from their fairy parent.

*** What does “Royalty by Extension” mean?

** also if we consider Shrek 2 the game as canon then little red is a goody by virtue of being a playable character

** Puss was doing hits for money. By becoming part of Shrek and Fiona's close circle he basically became royalty by extension, living at the palace and having everything he wanted. Why would he want to go back?

* Why is Puss still a part of Shrek's team in this film? He repaired his life debt at the end of Shrek 2 (even said so himself during "Holding Out for a Hero". Yeah I can buy Puss would still be friends with Shrek and Donkey but Puss already had a successful job as a mercenary. So why is he still calling Shrek "boss" hanging out at the castle, and joining him on the quest for Artie. Shouldn't Puss be focused on doing hired hits?

* The girl in the red hooded cloak who was seen at the Poison Apple and later seen stealing money from a dwarf, is she Little Red Riding Hood from the fairytale of the same name or the Little Robber Girl from the Snow Queen? Because the Shrek Wiki identifies her as the former while people on YouTube think she’s the latter. Or is she based on BOTH?

** Charming must have been bad with money.
