We are brogres, fans of Shrek. We enjoy ogres and onions, but we hate Farquaads.
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
ogre |ˈəʊgə| - A friendly, misunderstood creature. The highest form of life.
layer |ˈleɪə| - An intangible, desirable trait. A brogre with many layers is a well-rounded and fulfilled brogre.
onion |ˈʌnjən| - The most layered substance in the universe. Should be eaten regularly and in great quantities to ensure a healthy diet.
Farquaad |fɑːkwɑːd| - A grumpy, pitiable person; a party pooper.
swamp |swɒmp| - A muddy, yet charming place; the natural habitat of the brogre.

Shrek 5 storyline AAA worthy🥸🤌
Shrek has realized his midlife crisis from the past contract he signed blindy , and now realizes the true component of family and how valuable it is to have a family who cares about him and has an unconditional love for his hideous farts and the mud mold he refuses to clean. He realized lifetimes of valuable lesson and now holds his friends and family closer than anything, and put them before himself in any instance. Having been foiled, Lord Farquad being of an adrenochromed lineage stunting his growth and giving him bitterness through eternity makes a pact to return from the spiritual realm and regain his precious Fiona, and bewitches her into a human form and causes a full hearted foolhardy plan where she’s brainwashed as a proper bimbo housewife. The swamp is enshrouded and Shreks swamp is surrounded. The black knights of oblivion appear through the mist of the woods and Shrek was diddlered by Prince charming once again. Abducted so all the events may go into play and by time Shrek woke up the events have already unfurled. But alas Gingie the gingerbread goat roasted his torturer Prince Charming hair with a butane torch as revenge for threatening him to be overcooked in the oven that was preheating and blackmailing him for having stolen the crown for mistaking them as gumdrops. So Prince Charming ran out crying in to fairy godmother whos magic has now began to run thin due to karma, and she has lost her human form and is an ugly blob of a beast. Resorting to witchcraft and alchemy makes a dimension breach and resurrects surrogate clones of everyone in the story plot who has now evil counterparts walking around as evil as imaginable with demented faces and droopy broken joints whom has plotted to the good versions of them in this dimension dooooooom. Shrek, a valiant an compassionate Ogre now says his blessings and puts on his knight armor for the first time since rescuing Fiona going back onto the dragon and reclaiming his throne as king of the swamp. Knowing how strong in spirit Shrek is they use his friends and family to lull Shrek into situations of demise but over and over their plans are thwarted. Shrek realizes rumple and Farquad have assembled an army so Shrek goes to sabotage the depot where the rift lay But farts as entering the encampment and is caught so must flee until next fortnight where he has found a multitude of other happy cryptid creatures from other lands having multidimensional journey after running into fairy godmothers rift. Returning as king of alternate dimension. Resurrecting an army and saving his family and friends and then setting peace not only for his dimension but the others that were involved in the rift closing it and banishing Farquad for good into a castle far far away.. Unknowingly saving the universe. Also gingerbread man becomes a blind mice and eats his old body and puss in boots becomes human LOL
Answer right of the bat : Shrek's friends. And their leader is goinger to be Gingy and his lieutenant would be Pinocchio.
My arguments, from the strongest to the weakest.
But Shrek's friends who aren't Puss or Donkey are usually treated as the third wheel of the car from the movie itself.
Just the mere acquitance we called friends by politeness. Imaging if the next movie give them such importance as being a threat. It would reinfornce the "don't judge someone before really knowning them" but in a dark way.
Speaking of Shrek 2, Ginger little brother was killed and nobody seems to care. Just partying. And Pinocchio was finally a real little boy. Nobody care about them. Could be the beginning of a vilain arc
Farquaad, Rumpelstiskin, Hupmty Dumty. All of these main vilains are short. And if you count secondary vilain, Puss is as small as a cat, and he was introduced as a villain. So having Pinocchio, the little boy, the three mouses and the three little pigs and Gingy as villains make more sense
Ginger is basically bullied like in most of the movies. The first scene where we met him is a torture scene. We saw Puss eating him in Shrek 4 and we also see Shrek eating him (I don't remember if it was in a deleted scene of The Last Wish or in a special or a commercial)
In Shrek 4, towards the end of the movie, Gingy tries to capture Shrek. It's even how Shrek think to surrender to Rumpel. It's foreshadowing. Apparently, there was a deleted scene where Shrek would even had to fight the three little pigs and the Big Bad Wolf too. Futher indicating that is going to be the whole group that would turn evil.
Shrek's group of friend already showed their skills on Shrek 2 by saving the main trio from prison.
Futher proof that Pinocchio would be the second major antagonist, he's that Gingy and him are kinda already the two main character of the tiertiary characters. Shrek 4 opens in Pinocchio library and he's set up of one the reason of Big Jack Horner path to vilainy. DW hype him up to a bigger role
Just wanted to share my next fanfic. Found a way better software to create ai vids… I used chat gpt to help with the story then had to put images together and the ai video software helped create the scenes. Been really curious about ai and shreks one of my favorite characters, so been making fake stories about him. Kind of thinking of creating a whole universe… anyways. Thought I’d share since the story is ridiculous.
It seemed quite convenient how he an ogre of all people was sent to rescue her and they fell in love, then she just happened to have an ogre form as well which made their love life more compatible. Even Prince Charming who was meant to rescue her first was too much of an asshole for her so it definitely would not have worked out.
Before you all start with me. I don't support AI in the slightest, I think it's a horrible thing and I think if not monitored properly, it could take many jobs away, and bring an end to creativity as a whole. However, I wanted to try out ChatGPT just for shits and giggles, and I asked to write me plot for Shrek 5. So here it is, please forgive me and enjoy.
Pitch for Shrek 5: "Shrek: The Lost Kingdom"
Logline: When a mysterious portal opens in the swamp, Shrek and his friends must journey to a hidden kingdom where fairy tales have been forgotten, and the balance between worlds is at risk.
Synopsis: After settling into a peaceful life with Fiona and their kids, Shrek’s quiet days are interrupted when a portal appears in the swamp, revealing a magical kingdom lost to time. This realm, once vibrant with fairy tale creatures, is now ruled by a power-hungry sorceress who has erased the stories of old.
When Fiona is taken captive for her royal lineage, Shrek must team up with Donkey, Puss in Boots, and a new character—a spirited fairy named Lila—who holds the key to unlocking the kingdom's forgotten magic. Together, they embark on a quest through whimsical landscapes and face off against quirky villains, including a villainous version of classic fairy tale characters.
As they navigate challenges, Shrek learns the importance of legacy and storytelling, discovering that the tales we pass down shape our identities. The climax features an epic showdown where Shrek must embrace his role as a hero, not just for his family, but for the future of fairy tales everywhere.
Themes: Friendship, legacy, the power of stories, and embracing one’s true self.
Why It Works: "Shrek: The Lost Kingdom" revives the charm and humor of the original films while introducing new characters and adventures. It reinforces the series' themes of love and acceptance, making it relatable for both long-time fans and a new generation. With heart, humor, and a touch of nostalgia, this sequel promises to be a magical journey worth taking.
I was rewatching Puss n Boots 2... and i TOTALLY forgot that it ends with Puss, Soft Paws, and sh- i mean ... Peritto... sailing to FAR FAR AWAY... ya'll... epic meet up? Epic adventure? WHAT. WILL. WE. SEE.
Hypothetically, if Fiona was given FGM’s love potion and Charming kissed her, I feel like since it wouldn’t be “true love”, similar to Shrek 1, Charming and Fiona would levitate up in the air, glow with magic and have a cloud of “love” around them. But when they “take love’s true form”, it would reveal that Fiona turned back into an ogre. Charming temporarily would look normal as if he wasn’t affected, but then slowly, everyone would see him transform into an ogre starting with his ear, green skin patches, head enlargement, you name it until he’s fully transformed into an ogre.
I imagine the same later occurrences in Shrek 2 could have played out the same way—with an addition to Charming going crying to his mommy that he’s no longer handsome, demanding her to fix him and FGM failing to do so as a side effect to her failed manipulation. Then of course, at the end, Fiona kisses Shrek, thus turning him back into his true ogre form, thus proving FGM and Charming wrong about Charming being her true love.
