Shrek/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** I always thought it was to shake things up and seem more unique then just generic number titles.

** Unique? This is the same pattern Blackadder used!

* At the end of the first movie, why does Fiona turn into an ogre when she was born human?

** Because she takes "true love's true form." Her true love is Shrek.

** They were all on Shrek's swamp because Farquad dumped them there. When he says, "Is that so?" it doesn't mean he didn't know about it. Shrek is treated as a hero because all of the fairytale creatures were at the swamp under Farquad's orders when they didn't want to be. By rescuing Fiona, Shrek freed them from the swamp. I don't know where they went afterwards.

* Shrek says hold the Phone sometimes. Why does he say that? They're not invented.

*** You may as well ask how everyone knows modern pop songs and other cultural references, like Starbucks. Shrek's world isn't 100% medieval fantasy, it's an [[Anachronism Stew]].

* Shrek's character really seems to ping-pong back and forth all over the place. In the first movie, he ''hated'' being seen as nothing but "a big stupid, ugly ogre" and wished everyone could see him for his inner beauty. It was his entire motivation. But in the sequels, especially 3 and 4, he keeps going on and on about "Ogres don't do this," "Ogres don't do that," "I just want to be a plain old ogre again." He switches from trying to defy the ogre stereotype to trying to aspire to it.
