Same

She took on that form to seduce men

This is suppose to be a spin or characterization of Beowulf himself. Cause Beowulf in the original poem is basically a baller with no flaws until the end of the poem. They wanted a different adaption, more like an embellished truth take on it. Making Beowulf seem like a boastful liar with too much pride and arrogance. Like did Beowulf actually lost the swimming race because there was sea monsters? Is Grendel really Cain’s son or the ugly shame of Hrothgar’s? Did Beowulf actually rip off Grendel’s arm with his bare hands? Did Beowulf actually kill Grendel’s mother? Was the Dragon really there because a thief stole their golden cup? It was a genius take on the separate acts of the poem. Showing Beowulf as this talented but incredibly flawed person doesn’t take away from the poem but gives it a perspective that we didn’t see before. It even acknowledges it with some of little attention of details. Even Tolkien himself said that Beowulf is more of a simple story that most likely wouldn’t grasp people the right way because there’s really nothing interesting happening aside from Beowulf killing monsters. Personally I love both the movie and poem.

As Agothy said, this movie is actually a deconstruction of the poem. Beowulf does have everything to be the hero, but said abilities gave him a massive sense of ego and arrogance.

@@jorgebersabe293 You basically summarized my words perfectly. Thanks.

I know right

Her cupcakes 😂😭

I thought the gold on her chest was wounds she'd suffered since they resemble lashes like something had cut her

Her cupcakes 😆

Except the face is probably an illusion. The creators of the movie had made a more lizardy face with golden scales and a mermaid tail for her true form, more like similiar to the original story. You can even see small glimpses of her true form through the reflections

Naw you suck

Obvious troll is obvious

@@carbootstudios2459 yeah no, I’m being serious, the animation is great don’t get me wrong but the story line is so whacked that it might as well be a hammer

@@TheManThatVoiceActs “so whacked”?

@@carbootstudios2459 in the original story, the dragon is simply a dragon but here, they’re gonna try and say it’s Beowulf’s son

He could have still slain her if he wanted too, he had hero power. The same that allowed him to kill Grendel with his bear hands whereas his counterparts could barely hurt him with massive blades. He even says "I need no sword to slay you". Guy was just too damn horny

Why would she kill her own son grendel??

@@RUSH_00912 hes already dead you dope lol

@@JackJackKcajify i thought he comes back with on arm

@@RUSH_00912 no he got his arm ripped off and then went back to cave and bled to death. then she puts him on altar.

@Frogger i mean, maybe but this is before she even mentions that to beowulf, seems more likely she is showing him that she can kill him at any time... but doesnt want too..... which implies she wants him...

"What have I done" in his head

Brad Pitt probably felt the same

what a fool

Not rlly she looks ugly in this cgi form😶‍🌫️

💀

The concept is that Grendels mother is a curse on mortal men for generations. So it is implied that Grendel was actually born from Hrothgar (the king who killed himself), and once he finds out that this happens he kills himself to free his own soul. Then Beowulf is essentially cursed, and once he dies, Wiglaf who is the new king becomes tempted by her. Thats why they did that weird scene where they stare at each other at the end.

@@monkeyflingpoo247 I get what you are saying but in terms of motivation and consistency, it doesn't flow very well or make sense how they got from one plot point to another. The metaphor and lore understanding is interesting, but it doesn't matter if the plot has to throw out logic to do what it wants to do.

You're too sensitive she is using a seductive tactic to lure him in to kill him because Beowulf isn't a ordinary warrior she is facing that killed her son. One of his weakness is beautiful women so she turns into one to lower his defenses.

You're a whiney bitch, just thought you should know

If anything her saying "I will make you rich and powerful" might just be an illusion on top of her seduction. She's appealing to the two things Beowulf desires : fame and the love of a beautiful woman. Since she is a kind of witch/sorceress, a supernatural creature, he might be encline to believe that she has this power. And it's hinted that Grendel's mother's been there for a while, she might have been doing this too for a while. She just knows what will happen next (he will likely become king since he killed Grendel and Hrothgar has no heir), because this has played out many times before. And in the end, did Beowulf become "the greatest king that has ever lived" ?...sounds very much like empty but pretty words.
