Green does.<\/p>\n
Take the following as examples of my theory:<\/p>\n
\nShrek<\/em>: Shrek himself You’ll also notice that in the Matrix<\/em> films that the picture has a green tint whenever the action is in the Matrix itself, which is where all the really good parts happen.<\/p>\n You’ll also<\/em> notice that with the exception of Star Wars<\/em>, every single film listed above could have been even better<\/em> with the addition of lightsaber fights. Star Wars<\/em> would better with more Yoda, as I will mention below.<\/p>\n I don’t know what, exactly, my expectations were when I went to see Shrek 2<\/em>, but I do know that it exceeded them handily. The movie is better in every single way than the original, which is a hard thing for a sequel to do. I think the key to Shrek 2<\/em>‘s success was its spot-on use of green. The filmmakers were even smart enough to know when too much green was happening. –SPOILER–<\/strong> I suspect this is the real reason for Shrek wanting to be human. The whole “I just want to make Fiona happy” was just a an excuse for people who aren’t in touch with their inner Green-ness. — END SPOILER —<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the major reasons I think that the Star Wars<\/em> prequels aren’t so well-liked is the disturbing underuse of Yoda. Lightsaber battles compensated somewhat, but not enough, as the box office numbers clearly show.<\/p>\n Apart from the Greenuity, Shrek 2<\/em> was great for the following reasons:<\/p>\n I could go on and on and on, but this is getting monotonous. The only thing Shrek 2<\/em> lacked, really, were lightsabers. I’m hoping that with Shrek 3<\/em> and Shrek 4<\/em> on the horizon this small oversight will be corrected, and another timeless film saga will join the ranks of the likes of The Lord of the Rings<\/em>, which could use a lightsaber or two of its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Green does.
