the trans characters were definitely there for a joke by shrek 3, but in 2 it feels different because of the overarching queer themes of the plot. alternatively, my standards for queer representation are probably through the floor, because shrek 2 was one of the few times (maybe the first?) i had been exposed to the idea of trans people existing as a transfem child

It's official: yet another date ruined because I said I wanted to watch the Shrek trilogy but my date got mad that we were watching Shrek 2 three times in a row because it's the only Prestige Shrek.

They played it in theaters a couple weeks ago and I took my daughter. I hadn't seen it in a very long time. I remembered liking it and figured it was still enjoyable. Other than some minor power serving narratives around monarchy (again, expected, nbd), I still loved it.

I was shocked that he asked one of the workers if he was being oppressed when he snuck into the factory.

The police grinding pepper in their eyes is still my favourite joke in the whole series.

BRB, gonna flood DreamWorks emails with complaints about their wokeness. Gonna do the same to Mike Myers' DMs too.

Will not look into it, but I'll bet Mike Myers has some fucking takes if he uses social media. yikes-3

Not Shrek 2 but related, I just watched Puss in Boots 2 and was very amused with how much of a capitalist carricature the bad guy was. The ethical bug on his shoulder even came to the conclusion that he should fight against him instead of searching for the good in him. The characters, each with different motives, decided in unison that this guy not getting his wish was more important than any of their own wishes.
