Warning : SPOILERS for Wallace & Gromit : Vengeance Most Fowl
At the end ofWallace & Gromit : Vengeance Most Fowl , we see the most villainous penguin in movie history , Feathers McGraw , vanish into a tunnel on the back of a freightage string . He ’s missed out on stealing the Blue Diamond he covet , but , at the same time , he ’s gotten away with his attempted crime . All charges against Wallace for the larceny of the diamond are overleap by the police , but they ’ve let this bothersome penguin slip through their finger .
This candid - ended closing toFeathers McGraw ’s riposte inVengeance Most Fowlteases further storylines involve the character in futureWallace & Gromitfilms . I really hope that ’s not the case , because bringing plume back for another showdown with Wallace ’s implacable pooch Gromit would actually undermine his dead executed return for this movie . The human race needed Feathers McGraw back this Christmas , after three decades without him since Wallace and Gromit foil his last evil plan in 1993’sThe Wrong Trousers . But I question whether or not his takings is even necessary .
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl Teased Feathers McGraw’s Return
He Doesn’t Get His Just Desserts At The End Of The Movie
Feathers McGraw is the conceiver behind the various law-breaking commit in Wallace ’s name throughout this latestWallace & Gromitmovie . It naturally follows , then , that once his plans are thwarted at theend ofVengeance Most Fowl , he should be made to compensate for what he ’s done - but that does n’t occur . While Gromit almost dip to his death , Feathers open an umbrella he ’s conveniently picked up during his getaway , and drops gently onto the back of a run geartrain . Although Gromit has tricked him into taking a turnip with him rather of the Blue Diamond , Feathers himself has escaped from the film ’s death - defying climax unscathed .
“ That say him , Gromit , ” Wallace tells his faithful protagonist , as Feathers McGraw looks at the white turnip he ’s holding in astonishment . “ He ’s a bad egg , that one . ” A bad nut , indeed , who ’s surely off to commit another offense , that we could well be get a line about in Wallace and Gromit ’s next dangerous undertaking . With Feathers going free , this moving-picture show is improbable to be the last we see of him .
Feathers McGraw Is One Of My Favorite Movie Villains, But He Shouldn’t Return
The Impact He Has In Vengeance Most Fowl Is Because He’s Been Away So Long
It seems odd that a small , expressionless raspberry with pinheads for eyes and a red rubber glove pulled over his top dog – with the aim of make him resemble a chicken – should be so terrifying . But that ’s exactly what Feathers McGraw is , andmuch of the terror he call forth stems from the blank expression he wearswhile confide his terrible crimes . John Joseph McGraw is doubtlessly , in my vox populi , thebest of all theWallace & Gromitvillains that Aardman Animationshave come up with down the years . In fact , I ’d go as far as to say that he might be one of my favored picture villain , full stop .
If he returns for another movie , however , I ’m disquieted that the charm will be broken . His vacuous facial features will no longer collide with the same characteristic into our hearts , and the superbCape Fearparody used to promote his at hand return inVengeance Most Fowlwill have been for nothing .
Feathers McGraw only lick so well as a villain because he ’s seldom seeninWallace & Gromit . He appears seemingly from nowhere inThe Wrong Trousers , taken in as a harmless stray penguin by the impressionable Wallace , and seems like the last person – or penguin – you ’d expect to slip a diamond . Then , withVengeance Most Fowl , we had to expect 31 years for Feathersto return , as inconspicuous as ever , to render and end what he started . The effect he has as a villain who belies his innocuous appearance will be completely lost if he ’s added to the franchise ’s regular cast .
How Likely Is It Feathers McGraw Does Return In The Next Wallace & Gromit?
Franchise Creator Nick Park Is Prudent With His Character Comebacks
Hopefully , though , we do n’t need to worry about Feathers McGraw come back for anotherWallace & Gromitmovie anytime presently . Based on what franchise Nick Park said about the character ’s comeback in January of this yr , the Aardman squad are treatingVengeance Most Fowlas an olympian casewhen it comes to add a previous villain back into the fold . “ I ’ve never really been into bringing graphic symbol back in the Wallace & Gromit films , ” Park toldVariety . “ It was more just an opportunity that seemed just right . ”
Wallace & Gromit : Vengeance Most Fowl features many clever Easter Eggs that reference past films in the franchise or other picture and TV shows .
The opportunity presented byWallace & Gromit : Vengeance Fowlwas absolutely right for the return of Feathers McGraw , arguably the greatest masterstroke in the history of the dealership . But , thankfully , Park ’s prudent overture to bringing characters back should mean that he and his squad do n’t make the error of over - relying on feathering for succeeding movies . If his freight geartrain lam is the last we see of the reference , it ’s a fitting elbow room to give in out for lay off - motion animation ’s large scoundrel .
