True and her similarities between AUTO hard to ignore imo it's just kind funny we see this A.I robot had her own personality so she doesn't really looked ripoff like other A.I villains to me, I guess Dreamworks just wanted to create a villain in an environment story like The Wild Robot sometimes it's just kinda unneccesary but it does worked well as film's message too. I agree with you I can't say she's one of great dreamworks villains but she still pays well as the final obstacle that Roz has to face much like AUTO she simply just following her program as somewhat represents the danger of A.I technology that can make people lose their mind with most A.I's following algorithm.
I feel like Vontra could have been better foil to Roz if she had no personality. Our main protagonist is a robot who can feel emotions so the main antagonist should be a robot who can't feel emotions. Even Vontra's henchmen had some moments of emotions if I remember correctly, while getting beaten by the animals.
In Wall-E our two main protagonists and other robots except AUTO had personality too but I feel it would copy Wall-E's main points I guess this is my opinions why they didn't make the antagonists with no personalities. Also Vontra's mistake is she was too focused to stop the gooses attacking the ship when Brighbill successfully break in she still focused to kill other gooses, I see that she did notice him but she didn't try to stop him thinking he was dead. I love how some people didn't like the ending of the story due to Vontra's role but it's geniunely emotional and imperfect imo not all animated movies need to be a great happy ending, Roz knew that even she had to fight for her own program to survive one thing is she finally knows what to do and where she belongs it's like we found our own freedom but we have to know what we were programmed to be too and she really thankful all to wild animals in the forest for protecting and cared her since she was stuck in that island
I forgot to tell that Dreamworks really love making animated villains that heavily from from Disney's and other animation studios so you can see some of their characterization really similar to Disney ones only Makunga who doesn't work at all I know his character is supposed to be a joke but sadly he's just there in the film serves as a parody version of Scar from The Lion King I didn't like how Zuba ignore his evil intentions. But villains like Marmalade are effectively worked well too than Zootopia's Bellwether she was portrayed too friendly in the movie and how she turned to be a mastermind is just kinda underwhelming too, Marmalade had plenty of screentime to portray how deceptive he is as a villain even I can't exactly say his twist reveal and plan are smart it definitely improved what Zootopia has been missing when it comes to twist villains. There's also another underrated villain like Victor Quartermaine from Wallace & Gromit The Curse Of The Were Rabbit he was bit similar to Gaston's character but he still worked as a comedic villain that you can enjoy whenever they're onscreen and he isn't complete idiot like Makunga, since that baddie was made by Aardman and they really nailed at creating psychotic and comedic animated baddies for a stop motion animated movies idk if you ever watched that movie
What's your opinion on Legendary Lord Farquaad from the first Shrek film? I feel I kinda enjoy sharing my thoughts on Dreamworks villains because they're kinda fun to entertain or hate, so many fans had so many had different opinions about them even some of them are from lackluster movies they're actually better characters than we actually thought
I think he is a decent villain. I did not grow up with the Shrek franchise. They are amazing movies but I am not that attached to them and their villains as much as others. I enjoy the adult humor elements with Farquaad but DreamWorks has several villains that are far more charismatic, evil, and nuanced.
Oh now I understand but it's ok I might gonna lose with Dreamworks lately since Puss In Boots the Last Wish was released they've been talked about it makes other animation studios felt ignored that's why I have to watch other animated movies too instead watching Dreamworks movies all days I feel their movies are more meant to be entertained than having a complex animated stories but they still a good animation studio. I didn't grew up with Shrek too now I can understand the hype.
Although Farquaad isn't as menacing or imposing as other Shrek/Dreamworks villains there's no denying how evil he is than portrayed him being rather comedic hitler that you just really want to laugh. He actually represents polar opposite of Shrek himself they both insecure about their physical appearances that's why he build his castle so tall and faking his true appearance on his people that's why he easily manipulates everyone to get he wants he obsessed torturing and banishing every fairy tale creatures so that he can make his own world that he designed while Shrek ended up finally can learn to accept who he is and he had a community with random people because Farquaad only judges other people's appearance first without seeing their inner beauty inside which actually a lot of people like this really exists irl because they also love to quickly critizies and treats everything they see. He’s willing to sacrifice anyone that's why he made a challenging quest for his people to find Fiona without thinking the risks and consequences so that he become a king.
His humor are hilarious too especially when he had a bad obsession on Fiona which portrayed him really a big creep that's why he such a realistic villain
I am aware of the parallels between Shrek and Farquaad. I do like the subversion that the villain is a royal prince and not an ogre who in reality is a good guy. Its a good way to showcase the theme of "don't judging a book by its cover".
Yeah Exactly! That's what first two Shrek movies is all about. Same as Fairy Godmother although she's more active villain than Farquaad. Because everyone really depending on her but behind that nice, happy, gentle and kind personality she's actually a two-faced businesswoman who uses her persona to manipulates everyone and making so many blackmails in Far Far Away. You could implied that she's the one who behind Fiona's curse too that's why she had a long relationship with Harold and his family and later we find out she's actually just using him like her own puppet for her devious plan. She doesn't have a strong parallel as Farquaad did they still portrayed her such a very intelligent manipulator
Hey man it's been a while. I also found a very underrated villain that people always overlooked her name was Ms. Grunion Have you watched Mr. Peabody and Sherman?
Not yet, sorry. Also with my study schedule, I probably won't find time to watch many new movies or shows.
What do you think?
