It's official: yet another date ruined because I said I wanted to watch the Shrek trilogy but then insisted on watching Shrek 2 three times in a row because it's the only Prestige Shrek.

That's clearly what I mean unless you want to waste four hours on sub-par Shrek. You know the main canon and there's no reason to revisit it for fucking exposition.
You're viewing a single thread.
the only way to watch shrek is to start with shrek the third until exactly the moment at which fiona reveals she's pregnant, at which point you flashback to shrek 1 and watch it all the way through TWICE before returning to finish shrek 3. then you watch shrek 2, take a quick puss break (both movies) then move on to shrek forever after(this is how star wars fans sound)
That's a very postmodern viewing of Shrek. I prefer to watch Shrek 2 and imagine where the characters came from and where they're going. There is a direct, lived connection to history. Fiona doesn't just fall out of a coconut tree and reveal she's pregnant.
People will unironically tell you to watch Evangelion this way.
Also how some people will tell you how to read all 3 volumes of Capital.
Machete order is evidence that extreme plot twists-brain is counterproductive to actually enjoying art.
