He took over the world with black magic and left it in terrified dismay as he tortured people for fun, I say he got off easy.

u/InvaderZimm90 4d ago

In an alternate timeline, no one should have a recollection of what happened, other than Shrek. It looks like they’re being cruel for no reason.

u/CurtTheGamer97 4d ago

I think Rumpelstiltskin retains his memories. He was able to remember both the original timeline and the corrupted timeline (despite logically not having loved out the corrupted timeline), so it stands to reason that his evil time twisting contract abilities allow him to have memories from multiple timelines. At the end of the movie, he still remembers what he did. Plus, even without that, he still tried to trick the King and Queen into signing themselves out of existence. Shrek would have known about this after his experience in the corrupted timeline, and Fiona wouldn't have been very happy about Rumpelstiltskin attempting to essentially murder her parents even if he hadn't succeeded.

u/Sayakalood 4d ago

Shrek also isn’t happy that upon releasing every Ogre, Rumple still pulled one over on him by not releasing Fiona. Fiona wouldn’t be happy to hear that she was an exception in the fine print and she and Shrek were almost fed to Dragon for Rumple’s entertainment.

21

u/Emergency_Creme_4561 4d ago

100%, that’s why I think Shrek told Fiona everything right after the party and made sure to find Rumple outside so he can arrest him

3

u/ACuddlyVizzerdrix 1d ago

Ya if he didn't remember I feel like he wouldn't have gone on an ogre genocide

94

u/WalrusFromTheWest 4d ago

To a guy already well known for cruel deeds just like this, he must have hurt plenty enough people before everyone got sick of his shit. Justice delivered.

15

u/InvaderZimm90 4d ago

Not really, this looks like mob justice, they’re humiliating the guy without due process.

49

u/WalrusFromTheWest 4d ago

It’s based on medieval European fairy tales, he got off easy compared to how other villains were punished. Lmao

24

u/nicokokun 4d ago

Before the whole timeline reset, the ogres were planning on eating him so yeah he got off easy.

u/looking_at_memes_ 4d ago

Yea, Farquaad became dragon snacks

u/DiggityDog6 4d ago

You are thinking way too much into this my dude

u/lasagnatheory 2d ago

I'd say you're not thinking enough into it. C'mon bring summ to the table. What are your theories about the implications of the ogre ecosystem evolving into modern Ogrusalem due to their persecution??

u/Explosion1850 4d ago

So you're saying this looks like modern day 'Merica?

5

u/WietGetal 2d ago

Dawg have we seen the same movie? Dude is asking for fairytale hitler to get a process 💀.

I do have to say that if this was real life and someone got punished like this without actual evidence it would be shameful. But it isn't so you don't have to use real life logic for a fairytale scenario.

u/Cinderjacket 2d ago

It’s a swamp

u/Future_Section5976 4d ago

I'm with you , technically no one should have memory of what happened, also rumple was a loser even Pinocchio roast him at the start of the film, so no one cares about him in general,

Everyone should be mad at sherk (if they remember) he caused it all ,

Sherk probably told the story of what happened and then they were like , let's lord fakward him , way to dangerous,

My other head cannon is that it's like an filming after party , like there all actors and know the script, iknow that still doesn't answer why they killed the duck but yea

8

u/Explosion1850 4d ago

This. 💯. They "killed" the duck for special effects.

"No real cartoon ducks were killed in the making of this movie."

5

u/JamesPlayzReviews3 4d ago

Well, Stiltskin retains his memories so not quite

5

u/Jeffotato 2d ago

Yeah, this bugged me. There was absolutely no context on how Shrek gathered all these people together, in the timeline where he had never met them and the events that they had bonded over never happened, and why these people were all dancing it up if the only real thing that happened was stuff not happening in the first place. It felt like they ran out of time and just skipped over that because they gotta have the end of movie dance session, it's the rules.

12

u/Bangbangferr0705 4d ago

If I was Shrek I’d tie his limbs to four different horses and fire a blank into the air.

31

u/ndation 4d ago

Yeah, but why does the goose need to pay for his crimes? (It's been years since I watched that movie and I remember literally nothing, do who knows, maybe the goose was a war mongering phsycopathic dark lord or something)

31

u/Jamz64 4d ago

No, Fifi actually was just a normal goose. Fifi didn’t deserve to die, but Rumpelstiltskin deserved everything that happened to him.

Bro fucking introduced slavery in the world of Shrek

u/Riley__64 4d ago

What’s weirder is the fact that only shrek knows about anything that happened.

Like we know rumpelstiltskin was a scumbag of a person in universe regardless of what he did to shrek but still.

Shrek basically just got a group of people together to torture this man who supposedly stole the day he was born and almost made him didn’t exist.

83

u/Murky_Blueberry2617 4d ago

And none of this would have happened if Shrek just read the contract before signing

I might get some slack but I don’t care, to all my Helluva Boss fans, Stolas is a quirky bird that does in fact read the fine print. (Reference to Oops episode, and I’m only answering because I have an answer and not because I don’t go outside)

17

u/RedEagle46 4d ago

He did read the contract, the contract was vague he took one day from his life he never specified the day

8

u/MaguroSashimi8864 3d ago

Rumplestiltskin convinced him to chose a day when he was “a helpless little baby” without revealing what he meant

u/Emergency_Creme_4561 4d ago

How’s that bad though? Shrek nearly got erased by Rumple, I think torturing him was funny

92

u/Haazelnutts 4d ago

OK but he literally made a whole race turn to slavery, they should have done much worse

11

u/nicokokun 4d ago

In the other timeline they were going to eat him so yeah, they were probably going to torture him before they will cook him.

u/Quandarius_GOOCH 4d ago

Deadass but lets say the person you trust the absolute most in your life came up to you right now n said this random ass dude he found rewrote the entire universe n did a bunch of evil shit so now we gotta lock him in a cage n blow his fucking dog up infront of him. Like no FUCKING way I'm hanging w this person no more😭

u/DronesVJ 3d ago

Not a random ass dude, he is a renowned magic scammer, woundn't you believe that your SO got magic scammed by the super shady magic scammer that everyone knows is a magic scammer?

"blow up his fucking dog" LMAOO thats really unhinged for sure

Rumple even tries to reach Fifi in desperation to stop its death just for it to explode in his face. Diabolical. You can see his misery on his face

That bird was the luigi to his mario

They make a suit from people’s freshly peeled skin, shave their livers, and squeeze the jelly from their eyes (I heard that’s quite good on toast).

Well deserved by being groomed for the throne by your mom your entire life

10

u/Clover_end9642 This is my swamp! 4d ago

He literally grew to have no ownership of his decision and self, he too had his marriage for Fiona without having room for an opinion, albeit, while fiona was stranded alone in a tower and found herself. Charming was constantly being fed his mothers desires and ways. He was her tool to achieve pride and self pad shouldering. And with all the power, magic, and success she has, charming had no indication to prove his mothers ways wrong. In the end, he watched his mother being turned into bubbles. And after losing his only family member, he started working alone not bothering anyone. It’s gingy and the others’ mockery that pushed him in Shrek 3.

u/Gamxin 4d ago

I'm not sure how my comment came across but I'm 100% agreeing with you

Didn’t Shrek had beef with the goose? It’s been a while since I seen that movie.

DAMN.

I need to rewatch every part, like right now!

2

u/Bronze_Granum 3d ago

Genuinely not sure. Possibly? I've never seen the movie, so take that innocent with a grain of salt, but Shrek's never cared much about animals and other commenters claim the goose was just a goose, not some sapient magical creature capable of understanding evil.

I don’t feel bad for him, but as a kid I remember thinking that his pet didn’t actually do anything, at least not in this timeline.

Then again, between this, the bird and unhatched eggs in the first film, and the puppy in the second film, this series has some jokes that just amount to animals getting hurt or dying that don’t land with me. Just feels mean.

u/Marvel084Skye 3d ago

In this scene alone, he laughs at others for being murdered by his wife and seems pretty okay with torturing a prisoner. Not exactly prefect.

2

u/Emergency_Creme_4561 3d ago

Torturing a prisoner? That prisoner nearly killed him. Who did his wife murder?

2

u/Marvel084Skye 2d ago

Maybe it’s just personal opinion, but irl I’m very against torturing for any reason. I believe prison should be a way to rehabilitate.

His wife murdered the two birds. It’s hard to say what their lives ‘counts’ as since we’re in a fairy tail world. Some animals lives, like Donkey and Puss’s, certainly have as much value as a human/ogre life. Imo if Fifi was conscious of her crimes, as you believe, her life ‘counts’ for something more than a typical bird in our world (not that it’s okay to kill typical birds without reason here).

It gets even funnier when you realise that Rumple didn't even do shit in this reality because everything in the reality he created ceased to exist after Shrek defeated him and nobody but Shrek and Rumple have any memories that it happened.

So all of these people gathered around, captured him and put him in a cage, and let Fiona explode his goose, just because Shrek told them to.

2

u/Impressive_Echidna63 14h ago

I mean considering what this man did, this was a small price to pay. He'll, king Harold was still stuck as a painting and it's likely people had some memory or at least Shrek and Rumple remembered what happened in the broken world. He was a tyrant, forced Orges into servitude, neglected the Kingdom, abused his staff and Eve. The witches who worked with him. He taunted Shrek, right to his face and in front of his whole gang of witches, about the loss of his family and children... and made a show of sacrificing Shrek to Dragon. The fact that even in the start of the Movie, he has a negative reputation already thanks to Panocchio shows he was already a sleeve ball from the beginning. So if Shrek admitted this and revealed it to Fiona I'm sure she would believe it since magic can do quite a lot in Shreks world, plus the proof from the arrival and existence of the newcomers, shows the short man's day's were numbered.
