Shrek 2 + favorite pop culture references

[sunnysurfer101]

Why does this work for this movie where it fails with most others?

[the-tin-dog]

Because Shrek is, at its core, a parody.

It isn’t a silly film making pop-culture references. It’s a *parody* film making a *parody* of pop-culture.

Since most of the references are pretty solidly “classic” or at the very least extremely memorable moments in cinema, over multiple decades of time, they resonate really well even with modern audiences.

[starburstdragon]

It also (crucially, at least in my opinion) doesn’t kill the scene if you don’t know what’s being referenced. Puss reaching back for his hat before the door closes is still funny if you haven’t seen Indie do it. Pinocchio using his strings to lower himself carefully downwards that way is genuinely clever regardless of the Mission Impossible parody. The fact that the furniture is dancing with Fairy Godmother serves to further highlight her character and role whether or not you connect it to Beauty and the Beast. The references serve to enhance the scenes they’re in when you recognize, not to leave you behind if you don’t.

[hapalopus]

It also doesn’t undercut every joke with bathos. There actually is a punchline most of the time. It’s not embarrassed by its own existence.

WHAT DID WILLINGHAM DO WRONG GENUINE QUESTION

[bat-hotel]

There's a bit of a laundry list, but essentially he's a bigot with very strange procilivities. Iirc there's a Wikipedia page dedicated to describing the premises of each issue of Fables, it'll give you a good idea of what's going on.

IM YELLING THE SOLIDARITY OF HATING BILL WILLINGHAM IN MY NOTES RN 😩😩😩💖

[bat-hotel]

TWAU players who didn't know about Fables are just used to being treated to good and enjoyable character writing as opposed to a gaggle of conservative wet dream caricatures ripping off the X-Men and being Grimm-derivative.

[bat-hotel]

They what.

little clara because i love clara

[valtsv]

one of the worst feelings in the world is when you're playing a game with dialogue choices and none of the options are something you want to say. like i know it's not me, it's the character i'm playing, but he would not fucking say that. i know him better than you and the burden of this knowledge weighs heavier on me than you will ever understand.
