"Usually a good Heel can carry action movies or Marvel movies. This one? Not so much. 18 year old me sometimes got hungry, grabbed a plain piece of sliced bread, and just ate it. Stomach filler, but bland as fuck. This is just like that."

"Less of a "who done it" and more of a "what exactly was *it* and *how will we know* who done it?". By changing that, it became a little more than a sum of its otherwise interesting sleuthy parts. Fun."

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) - Jan 19, 2023

"More gripping and memorable than expected. Many movies lack a menacing Heel; the wolf Death assassin in this was wicked. The rest spars between ambition and happiness; the pull towards a dream dragging us away from contentment/appreciation. Agreed that the forest itself was a poor setting for the story, but the characters and themes carry it through. Really enjoyable, and crafted well. There's a thread on bravery meaning nothing without stakes. Feels like a timely jab at Marvel and its imitators"
