Unusual theory about Shrek suggests that Lord Farquaad, the villain, would be the son of one of the most beloved fairytale princesses
With the announcement of the release of “Shrek 5”, fans are creating more and more theories about episodes not detailed in the previous films of the successful franchise.
Among the rumors circulating, there is a curious speculation about the family tree of Lord Farquaad, one of the animation’s detestable characters.
An unusual theory about the character’s origins was discussed on the “Just The Nobodys” podcast. According to speculation discussed by internet users, there could be a family connection between Lord Farquaad and iconic characters from fairy tales.
One of the theories suggests that his mother would be none other than Snow White. But how was this nonsensical theory discussed?
Connections
The connection is made based on the fact that Farquaad possesses the magic mirror, the same object associated with the princess’s stepmother in the magical story. Additionally, the characters share physical characteristics, such as dark hair.
However, the question remains: who was Lord Farquaad’s father? The theory, following the stature of the villain, proposes that one of the seven dwarves would be his progenitor, highlighting Zangado as the likely candidate.
The choice is based on the similarities between the two characters’ clothing, both sporting red outfits and black belts. Lord Farquaad’s grumpy personality would be a direct reflection of this kinship.
Despite the enthusiasm for these theories, many fans raised doubts about their veracity, the outlet reported. Some remember that the magic mirror was stolen by Farquaad’s henchmen, which would weaken the hypothesis of a maternal relationship with Snow White. Others highlight narrative inconsistencies, such as the princess’s choice among suitors for marriage in “Shrek.”
On the other hand, there are those who offer alternative theories, suggesting that the Evil Queen could be Lord Farquaad’s true mother. This idea insinuates that the villain would have found a way to escape the tragic fate reserved for her in classic tales.
Regardless of speculation, the origins of the first film’s villain have not been explored. Furthermore, the new animation is unlikely to discuss these possibilities. Thus, what remains are unlikely and unconfirmed theories.
