I have seen a lot of reviews for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish mention Jack Horner in the context of how refreshing it was to get a villain who is just bad, for once. Without any tragic backstory or anything.
I think it is actually deeper than just "refreshing" though.
I think that when we contrast him, in particular, with Perrito, who has an incredibly dark and tragic backstory and yet is still kind and caring to the world around him and other people he meets, we get an important message that we don't get enough of: kindness is a choice. And so is cruelty. No tragic backstory should excuse your horrible conscious actions. Your choices and your actions are your responsibility and your alone.
In an era when we have popular characters who commit mass genocide on planetary scales and their actions are somehow excused because their parents had gotten a divorce and their uncle was mean to them once, this is a crucial message to get. And a refreshing one indeed.

I still just cannot believe they made Fred obsessed with portraying Toxic Masculinity in the Velma show.
Fred?
‘Ascot wearing’ Fred?
‘Metrosexual icon’ Fred?
‘Cried openly during the goodbye scene in Alien Invaders’ Fred?
‘Drinks his respect women juice daily’ Fred?
‘Unapologetically affectionate with Shaggy’ Fred?
That Fred? Obsessed with Toxic Masculinity? The audacity. The gall. The clownery.
I was just thinking about how Miles throws these massive fancy holidays where he shows off a bunch of wanky rich shit like renting the Mona Lisa or piloting a hydrofoil, and it's all people who are not actually friends but are faking it to make it, whereas when we first see Benoit Blanc he's just... playing Among Us from his bathtub with his friends. It's a much cozier, more genuine vibe than the elaborate show put on by the Disruptors--
Oh goddammit Among Us isn't just foreshadowing because it's a murder mystery in an enclosed location. It's also got an imposter running around. God fucking dammit
a scooby doo series set in community college where the gang is in a criminology class and end up in a huge debate on the first day of class that leads to them starting a podcast talking about local urban legends, only to realize things aren’t quite adding up and they go to investigate for ~journalistic authenticity~ and end up solving a real-life crime disguised as supernatural occurrences. this happens every week and they’re frequently featured on the school newspaper. they only have twenty listeners
Jazz goes to study psychology at Gotham U because, despite everything, they do have a world-renowned psychology course.
At some point (in a sociology or ethics class, maybe?), she has to write an essay on discrimination or cross-cultural conflicts or something.
And in a moment of assignment overload-induced exhaustion, she decides to write about the Anti-Ecto Acts.
Her essay raises all kinds of red flags -- with a staff members who reads it, or with an automated system that picks up several very concerning keywords, or both.
And so her essay makes its way into the possession of a certain group of vigilantes.
That's how Batman discovers the Acts, and the Fentons, and Phantom, and the whole entire mess that is Amity Park.
He is not happy.
Thinking about how I would write an adult Scooby-Doo series, because I think it can be done.
The first thing I’d do is make the characters actually be adults. Still young, but adults, in the mid to late 20s range. Mystery Inc. is a private detective type business that they run together. In this universe, the supernatural/ghosts/etc are real, but not necessarily common, so when they take on a case, the culprit might be a person disguised as a monster, or it might actually be a real ghost. The stakes can be higher; sometimes a bad guy is legitimately trying to kill them. Sometimes the mystery they’re trying to solve is a murder. Sometimes they actually get hurt on their cases.
Fred: the core of Fred’s character should be that he’s incredibly kind. Like, give a stranger the shirt off his back kind. The “Fred can’t talk to potential clients because he might take a case for free and we need to eat” kind. He’s an honest and good person and sometimes gets himself into trouble because he assumes other people are too. While he’s not very good at reading people or noticing ulterior motives, he’s brilliant when it comes to mechanical or engineering type stuff, so he’s the one who keeps the mystery machine running, builds their gadgets, and of course, designs the traps.
Daphne: she comes from old money, and her parents absolutely despise her life choices, to the point where they haven’t officially disowned her, but they have basically cut her off, so she doesn’t actually have access to any family money. Growing up wealthy has granted her a variety of skills, including speaking multiple languages, horseback riding, and fencing. She’s very into fashion and jewelry (even if she can’t afford it anymore) and has extensive knowledge of both that can occasionally provide a vital clue in a case. And even though her parents have cut her off, Daphne still has a wide network of contacts she can ask for favors sometimes, because she’s personable, and people tend to like her. Daphne is also very emotionally intelligent, and is usually the one who can spot when someone is lying to them.
Side note - I ship Fred and Daphne, so I think I would start them off as an established couple for this universe. Dating, engaged, married, I don’t care. They are stupidly in love, ride or die for each other. There’s no will they, won’t they, no worries about cheating. They are in a healthy, happy, loving relationship, and no one (not even Daphne’s disapproving parents) are going to mess that up for them.
Velma: she is the forensics nerd who sometimes gets super excited about the wrong thing at the wrong time (”He was mummified in seconds? That’s so cool!” “Velma! His wife is standing right there!” “Oh. Sorry.”). She’s not purposely insensitive, she just gets laser focused on her work and forgets to filter herself sometimes. She’s also the one who can get so fixated on solving whatever mystery they’re working on, she’s willing to bend or maybe break laws. Is breaking and entering really so bad? Not if it gets them answers.
Shaggy: he is still the comic relief, but he’s the comic relief by being the only person in the group that actually has common sense. He manages the business’s finances, he’s the only one who knows how to cook, and the others tease him for being a coward sometimes, but Shaggy maintains that if a ghost with an axe is coming for you, running is the only sensible option. He should also have a range of random knowledge that sounds useless, but sometimes saves the day (ex ventriloquism, origami, the history of spoons, etc).
Scooby: as this is a universe where supernatural creatures exist, Scooby is an ancient eldritch type being that took a shine to Shaggy when he was a kid, and took the form of a talking dog to befriend and hang out with him. Aside from the talking dog bit and not aging, he never uses his powers in a way that anyone notices. The audience is not told upfront that Scooby is an ancient eldritch being; it should slowly be hinted at throughout the series so the audience put it together, but the characters never realize it. Scooby genuinely considers Shaggy to be his best friend, and cares about the rest of the gang too.
helen brand not only not blinking at blanc's weird phrases but giving some of her own ("you got a flat tire" in reference to his shoe is at least one example) is true southern representation
Something I haven't seen in dreamling fic yet.....how about Nightmare Hob.
Hob is the King consort, regent of the Dreaming...what have you...so he should have his own nightmare form right?
Imagine Dream being summoned by not totally incompetent cult members and bound for a while until Hob can find him (after their relationship already established).
Hob comes to the rescue and they use this spell to threaten Dream with injury, giving a demonstration. Hob just loses it. He unknowingly summons power as king consort of the Dreaming and warps his form into some eldritch horror..then kills some cult members without mercy while others are brought to their knees seeing invisible horrors.
Dream is freed in the chaos but just stands there watching Hob go ape shit. He is in awe of his nightmare form and aroused.
Hob snaps out of it when he sees his reflection and starts to panic. Dream comes up to him (Hob towers over him) and soothes him, assuring him that while this is unexpected, he shouldn't fear this part of himself and "that is for those foolish enough to incur your wrath, my striking nightmare".
Someone please write some fic
Benoit Blanc taking his growing army of young women out to dinner:
