Of the antagonists in The Last wish, these two stand head and shoulders above the rest. But between them who can be argued to be the "better" villain.
Horner is a throwback, an old school villain, evil at his core. Unrepentant and callous his simplicity lends itself to easily understanding why he's a villain but, that same simplicity could be critique as lazy or unoriginal due to him always taking the worst most inhumane option.
Contrasting him is Death. Death plays with Puss in Boots but is solely focused on him. It could be argued he is cruel and unfair but he's literally death and that is his nature. Is his simplicity better than Horner's due to him being more of a force of nature than an character.
What elements make each villain unique?
Great topic! Maybe comparing these villains to other villains in the shrek universe and puss in boots films would help strengthen this – Anna Samson2 years ago
Cool topic! Maybe comparing these two villains to other villains in all of the fictional universes you can think of that have a similar dynamic to both Jack Horner and Death would give some perspective to both these villainess characters in - Puss In Boots: The Last Wish
