Death (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish)

Death is the overarching antagonist in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. He is a tall, grey wolf. He is a menacing archenemy of the legendary Puss in Boots. Death is voiced by Wagner Moura.

Why He's Death In A Good Way

 * 1) He is one of the most memorable characters in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, along with Jack Horner, and one of DreamWorks Animation's most intimidating antagonists after Lord Shen.
 * 2) His whistle is very iconic, it reminded Puss in Boots that his last life is over.
 * 3) Since his first encounter with Puss, he continues to quietly stalk him from the darkness and is able to send him into a state of utter panic and terror just by whistling and staring at him ominously with his glowing black and red eyes and murderous smile.
 * 4) Wagner Moura did a great job voicing him.
 * 5) He may not have a lot of screen time, but when he appears, he steals the spotlight every moment of it.
 * 6) He gained a newfound respect for Puss in Boots after their final fight.
 * 7) He makes it clear that he's only after Puss, not once threatening his companions and leaving everyone else out of their confrontation at the Wishing Star.
 * 8) While he visibly enjoys terrifying Puss throughout his appearances, he seems to enjoy a good fight just as much. He kicks Puss' sword over when he's disarmed and tells him to "pick it up", daring him to stand his ground and fight him for the last life.
 * 9) He is one of few antagonists not to be defeated in battle, since he is Death himself and cannot be stopped. Even when Puss knocks him down, he admits he has no chance to actually defeat him. He only stops because Puss stops being afraid of him and learns to value his life.
 * 10) His design is badass.
 * 11) He fights solely with his sickles and combat skills.
 * 12) He has a lot of great quotes:
 * 13) *"I just love the smell of fear."
 * 14) *"You're not living up to the legend... gato."
 * 15) *"Pick it up. Pick. It. Up!"
 * 16) *"What's the matter? Lives flashing before your eyes?"
 * 17) *"Everyone thinks they'll be the one to defeat me. But no one's escaped me yet."
 * 18) *"And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically or in any other fancy way. I'm Death, straight up. And I've come for you, Puss in Boots."
 * 19) *“I find the very idea of nine lives absurd! And you didn’t value any of them.”
 * 20) *"Go ahead, run for it. Makes it more fun for me."
 * 21) *"I’ve enjoyed the chase, gato. But I think we’ve reached the end now, you and I. You're gonna take the coward's way out? Run away to more lives!? Or you're gonna fight?"
 * 22) *"This is gonna be fun."
