Shrek Forever After/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

"Donkey: "Are my babies cute, or do they make people feel uncomfortable?""
 * Badass Decay: Subverted with AU!Puss In Boots. He starts as lazy, fat housecat, but regains his badassery when the time is right.
 * Complete Monster: Rumpelstiltskin is easily the most vile and downright cruel villain in the series, with all of his actions taken very seriously even whilst he himself can be Laughably Evil.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: The Pied Piper and Butterpants.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In Russia, Shrek 4 is the second-highest grossing movie OF ALL TIME, losing only to the inevitable Avatar.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: Shrek Forever After has AU!Puss being reduced to merely Fiona's pet - but after seeing his origins in the Darker and Edgier Puss in Boots, can we really consider that as the 'bad' dimension?
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Rumpel tells someone that creature is a troll and not an ogre. 6 years later, DreamWorks released Trolls.
 * Magnificent Bastard: The Pied Piper. Anyone who can capture an army of rebels/insurgents while playing "Shake Your Groove Thing" on a pipe deserves this.
 * Memetic Mutation: DO THE ROAR!
 * I LOVE YOU DADDY!
 * Moral Event Horizon: Seen in the flashback in the alternate-universe when Rumpelstiltskin  That would have also happened if   at the beginning of the movie, but we don't know that at the time. When we see , Rumpelstiltskin crosses the line from just a simple trickster who wanted to rule the kingdom into utterly, irredeemably evil.
 * Don't forget the scene That just doesn't mark him evil, but a batshit insane Axe Crazy.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Shrek's roar. Video here.
 * Or
 * Hell, Rumplestiltkin himself!
 * Surprisingly Improved Sequel: The film had better reviews than Shrek the Third.
 * Squick: The alternate universe Donkey lampshades this when he asks Shrek about his children.
 * Squick: The alternate universe Donkey lampshades this when he asks Shrek about his children.


 * Vindicated by History: When the film came out, it was considered to be a little better than the Third. As the years went by, people now consider it as a return to form of the Shrek franchise.
 * What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: The Final Chapter gets pretty damn dark sometimes, people. From the malicious Rumpelstiltskin who erased Fiona's parents from existence and murders people (even his own followers) for his own amusement, to the Crapsack World that AU!Far Far Away becomes, there are some dark themes explored in this film.
