this movie was banger and it got that dragon heart eragon gameof thrones vibes in one movie awesome 😊
The ending was dumb... she's a copy of Daenerys
I enjoyed the movie. I loved the premise and the ending. I loved that the prince knew he was wrong but accepted his fate, rather than be saved from it. He was weak and didn't deserve Elodie.
It was dull as ditch water
Could have been better.
I loved that we didn't get an evil stepmother for a change.
exactly.. 😊
Well...we got an evil mother in law instead
This is like deja vu. You guys mean like Maleficient
Casting Robin Wright (the most beautiful damsel/princess ever) as the evil queen was brilliant!
It was refreshing and Angela Bassett look so lovely!
I really liked that they didn't give the prince some piss poor excuse for a redemption ark where everything was forgiven.
He accepted like "oh well" 🤣 nice
@@mysterygurl847As if he expected it and was at peace with it because he was artful.
No instead they gave the dragon a piss poor excuse for a redemption arc where everything was forgiven.
She and the she-dragon end up killing more people than the royal family!... Elodie ends up the villain!!... and women are downright evil in this story!!
@@alejandropacheco7832 but the men started it first, killing dragon babies and tricking, kidnapped innocent girls into becoming sacrificed. The whole movie message clearly goes over your sperm-filled head.
The dragon would actually be worshipped in Elodies home town. She can produce the heat they desperately need. She wouldn’t fear having children there if she could have more they would all be deeply loved and respected
and probably spawn a dragon worshipping cult or religion in a few centuries
@@mad2403 yah..that too.. LOL
There are always 2 options for dragons: to become a monster or to become a hero.
@@mad2403 I think if you lived in a land like that you would appreciate one who could keep you warm and alive. They might appreciate her but yeah I imagine there are some who would take it too far there always are
@@kunik61 if some asshole killed my 3 baby girls I imagine I might seem like a monster too I don’t blame her for what she did but at the end she didn’t want to hurt those that didn’t deserve it so she wasn’t the monster the royal family were
i liked how elodie called her stepmother mother at the end, a small detail that might be overlooked
was hard to overlook as she put emphasis on "Stepmother" always! :'P
Kind of obvious really
@@netta96maybe not for everyone
Thanks captain obvious
I didn't even notice because I was weirded up by the calling "Stepmother". Seriously, who does that? Even in old times, if you had a stepmother or stepfather and didn't want to call them mother and father, you'd call them by their title or their first name, it was so weird/unnatural...
The king never says a word throughout the whole movie... I'm sure he screamed in silence while being burnt at the end as well. 😂
It hard to wear the pants if the wife is played by Robin Wright. 😄
Feels like watching mexican or filipino telenovelas where he husbands are useless. When woman fight each other all the time
There was a king 😭????
Probably regretted being married to a crazy woman
Isn't the original king the one man in the beginning? Who ordered the soldiers to kill the baby dragons? Or I'm wrong lol. But anyway, the new king was really quiet like until the end lol hahaha was he the new king at least or just another royal blood? 😅😂
Elodie and the dragon are both similarly designed by the end. They both have kind of simialr injuries by the end, with even elodie's dress remnanats resembling the dragon's scales.
the dragon was a mother minding her own business while the princess was a poor innocent girl forced to be wed by a creep and his douchbag mom 😅
am i the only one thinking the really should get a but load of those healing worms with them those little guys are very useful
@mad2403 true! 😆
Even if the dragon does think they are distant decedents of an enemy long ago, I would not give too much sympathy to a creature whose only pastime has been torturing to death countless innocent girls for generations. Bu if you thought they were distant descendants of that king I guess that is totally understandable so I can forgive and trust you now. That ending is whacked.
That enemy killed her children, the last bloodline. She was the last dragon left. And those were innocent. The king came unprovoked and killed them.
She wanted the royals to feel her pain. It's all out of revenge.
The ceremony with the fancy dress for the sacrifices might have a secondary function: the corset and fabric would likley make it pretty hard for most of them to run from the dragon
The long flowing dress yes but corsets when made properly are not restrictive!
I think so too..but why give them a knife in between their chest? And a tiny lamp? Just to give them a fighting chance?? ..what a cruel tradition.🥲
@@MorganVsTheInternetit may have been a badly made corset? If I were to dress someone in something that would make it hard for them to move, I would give them the worst type of clothing.
But that's just my take :)
@@mysterygurl847it wasnt a knife, it was an actual tool to straighten the courset back in the days. Lol. Look it up.
@@ron05aa the heck with this dress.. must be painful 🥲
They gave us the ending Game of Thrones couldn’t give 😂
The bar was set pretty darn low, damn GOT.
I thought the movie was a sequel to game of thrones because of the ending
@@Emz1496 😂 😂
💯💯💯
The Prince when he sees the fire: Closes his eyes and accepts it
The Queen when she sees the fire: NOOOOO!!!!
I can't believe they seriously imply that the gold from the crown would melt before her face even starts to charr.
Gold has a low melting point, no?
@@SnowxXxAngel No, lead has a low melting point. Of over 300°C. Gold has a melting point of 1064 °C. Humans protein denaturates at 40°C and 54 degrees C (130 degrees F) cause a full thickness burn in 30 seconds. The higher the temperature the more instant the skin will be burned (and the tissue below it). There is simply no physical way gold would melt down a fully intact face.
@@Ascielalso is it just a Fantasy so these things can be excused 🤣🤣
I salute how the prince handled and accepted his fate as he should, I like that he realize that he has no excuse to be alive.
Wasn’t he just trying to save his own family members from being murdered? The main villain of the movie is the dragon, she is the one that kept demanding sacrifices bc of what a guy did hundreds of years ago.
When he threw his head back and said I deserve this I was so happy no one forgave him
@@madnessends2477 and tell me exactly what that guy did
@madnessends2477 and willingly sacrifices other innocent lives still from poor nations while living in luxury yuh huh
I don’t really see the prince as evil. He didn’t enjoy killing those women/girls. He did it to protect his family.
I'm actually really impressed with how fun this movie was. A lot of the "subversive" and "new takes" on things don't actually do anything new. I love how this one actually did something.
Did you even watch the movie? It mixed the worst of most tropes. "I'm royal you are lesser" "I'm girl but strong and quick learner" "you are a mother that suffered, I'm a daughter that was wronged. We besties?" "I have a new girl-friend she's coming with me now."
@@HugoSan432 Isn't that great? You are saying like using those tropes a bad thing. She literally spend most of her time in the movie escaping. "Oh... I am scared of dragon so I'm running away". "The royal betrayed me and the dragon killed my father so shouldn't I change to be better than stay as a lesser being like @HugoSan432?". The movie is straight forward and enjoyable enough. You are just nitpicking. Now, have at thee!
@@khanhquoc4254 she spent ALOT of time screaming through everything.
@@ArnoldSimpson1970 lol the screaming - first dragon was like your smart for staying silent and then 2 sec later its like screaming - might as well run around with a cow bell announcing where she is
@@ArnoldSimpson1970most people would be screaming especially if they are hurt that badly.
I did expect for the dragon (or the monsters/creature as Netflix advertised) to have a deeper lore than just "being something evil". And WHAT I absolutely loved is that the dragon (who is a mother) help Elodie take revenge on people who killed innocent daughters, just as her dragon babys have been innocent.
Also Elodie said how much she wished she could talk to her mother about all of this, clearly missing her mother (someone who understands her on a deeper level), even though she does love her stepmother as well, finding a companion in a mother who lost her daughters.
The way the dragon later on flies over Elodie when she leaves the castle in a protective manner and follows her over the sea tells me, she put on a protective role over Elodie and perhaps her sister as well, maybe even in a way of her own redemption in now saving the one girl who saved her - even from herself. Both searched something and both got it. I did enjoy the movie and loved how none of the whole douchebag family survived and met their deserving end xDD
Also every girl here helped each other or showed genuine joy to see each other like the first "wife" of the prince and Elodie. I lowkey hoped she'd survive long enough for Elodie to find and perhaps save her as well. I think those two would have had a great dynamic!
overall very enjoyable movie!!
yeah those two have a mother daughter bond now Elodie is daughter of a dragon now
That was a pathetic excuse for a dragon... she got burned by her own fire!! 🤣
The dragons only passtime for generations was torturing to death girls she demanded as blood sacrifice. But oh I guess that's completely understandable if you were fooled into thinking they were distant descendants of someone who was mean to you so I can completely trust you now. That ending is whacked.
I liked that Elodie did not kill the dragon even though it killed Elodie’s father. Although he redeemed himself, he was not completely innocent.
it’s more than “was mean”. The king had the dragon’s children killed. Yes it’s a messed up scenario but the dragon clearly stated she wanted revenge on his bloodline
I like to think that the Dragon will help keep Elodie's homeland warm through the rest of the freeze. 🐲🔥
It was a proper way to do a female hero arc. Rather than making her a boss babe with strength and speed she relied on her wits and brains. And she went through a growth rather than being bad ass from the beginning.
There's no proper way to do any characters arc. Everyone is gonna have their own strengths. Nothing wrong with boss babes that have super strength
Lowkey sexist take
I like how she defeated the dragon with wits and brains at the end there - by screaming and running full speed straight at the dragon with a sword. No strength and speed there at all.
@@fredhughes4115 she actually defended it by running away if you think about it.
@@stripedpolkadots8692 Cope feminist. This movie is shit.
Having now watched it a second time (this time with my daughter)... I will say that when asked by the Queen at the end if Elodie expected them to fear her now, it would have been mor powerful if she held up her palm with the cut on it and said "No, I told her the truth. You should fear her." This would have perfectly bookended their earlier conversation where Elodie said her strongest virtue was honesty, and the Queen told her honesty 'could be' a weakness.
I watched it twice cause my daughter hadn't seen it she fell asleep and I still loved this movie and could watch it a 3rd
i love how the women that helped her get dressed added little knicks to help her after the sacrifice. the lamp, and the knife. i loved watching the dressing scene to later watch it all reverse back slowly.
Wow! I didn’t notice that
Oh. OH I didn’t realize that’s why they were doing. Thanks for pointing that out!
I noticed that too! At first was confused as to why, but after rewatching it it’s definitely them helping
I didn’t realize that! Thats awesome!
also, the help was the first to leave when elodie gave them a chance
I like how the dragons fire is more lava like in the movie.
Yes, it does make sense it's like her puke or saliva. GOT dragons has the same take too, Drogon has a flamethrower nozzle between his gums, it's like mixing his flammable saliva and air and then boom, dragon fire.
I thought I was the only that loved the dragonfire.
@@bluelemonade6430time to say byee, BOOM!!
YESSSS!
the only thing I don't like is that the dragon should be resistant to her own fire.. but oh well
Damsel was so good, not perfect but good. Take notes, Disney, a Girl Boss movie doesn't need to be boring and dull
Yes! Agree 💯. I don't like what Disney have shown recently:
Force narrative and very cliche women empowerment story plot. I am glad that we have this story - a woman can be a badass when a situation calls for. No need to be a damsel in distress, be a warrior and a queen.
sorry, it was boring and very predictable, and as you mentioned...dull.
I didnt feel like Elodie was too powerful nor that her growth was not earned.
She took an established strength and intelligence (and kindness) into that cave and learned from previous victims how to survive.
Its no surprise at the end that she was able to fight the dragon at least in a smart way.
it was well done. ..............................
and extra crispy
Couldn't have said it better. This is a great movie, and refreshing to say the least.
This movie was totally stupid... anyone who thinks the plot made sense should not be allowed to vote. Dragon gets hurt by own fire, girl stabs dragon through leg like butter, one wedding after the other without anyone getting suspicious, girl climbs rope like an athlete, stepmother gets stabbed but still walks around. No wonder we get such crap movies if you accept such silly plots.
I love how this film handles the generational trauma of a royal patriarchy without being heavy handed. The whole “sacrifice your daughters” thing was started by a greedy king who killed the dragon’s daughters out of hatred. It was the king that fucked up, but it was his daughters who paid for his folly. Throughout history, daughters of royalty have been treated as pawns/sacrifices for their fathers security and glory, regardless of their own dreams and desires. Much like how Elodie and the other princesses were thrown into the dragons lair, daughters are thrown into arranged marriages with men that rarely have their best interests at heart, where they toil and bleed for their kingdoms greatness while the men reap the spoils. That’s why I ended up liking the father after his sacrifice, because he overcame centuries worth of ideologies that told him that daughters are disposable sacrifices and was willing to face down the dragon to save her. Consequently, that why I also loved the fact that they let the prince die alongside his family. Because yes, while his upbringing was tragic and all that, he still stood by year after year and let multiple innocent girls be sacrificed to the dragon. By doing nothing, he allowed everything and he deserved to die for that. No bs, no redemption arc, just straight up karmic justice.
you realise the dragon could have stopped the slaughter at ANY point by releasing the kingdom from its 'debt'? Instead it chose to keep on torturing and devouring innocent girls. Would you sacrifice YOUR daughter to a dragon if you were a royal?
The dragon deserved death WAY more than the royals. They were acting out of self preservation, the dragon was acting out of malice.
@@vaporwave4880consequences you don't get off easy for baby murder
@@donbeedrill those girls didn’t murder anyone’s baby. Neither did the royals in the present. Consequences aren’t theirs to bear. How are you not understanding this?
I really appreciated the princes’s face in the end, when they are about to be hit by the dragons flames. It was a calm and accepting expression of his situation like “this make sense and I totally deserve it”, he didn’t try to escape, flinch or screamed. Just close his eyes and wait out. And I think it also makes sense because he is complacent and just accepts things that are happening to him and does what he is told without a fight or a question, he has an inert personality until the very end, even when it comes to his death
@@marianasouto5120 I do agree with that. I liked that scene too. But doesn't the dragon deserve to die even more though? The Prince didn't 'enjoy' sacrificing those girls, he just put himself first. But the dragon did enjoy eating them! It showed no remorse for their pain and suffering and even had fun tormenting them in it's cave. I think the dragon needed to die at the end as well, to complete its redemption arc and to be with its babies in dragon-heaven.
Eleven, Enola and now Elodie? Must be Millie's lucky letter lol. I love this film. I hope they will make a prequel with V.
right! Imagine if V is her mother though… Now that would be a plot twist
Isn’t V dead? She wrote „it‘s not safe“ in the cave and there was a corpse :(
@hellvin5887 At least made it up to the "exit" before Elodie. I think it was "Natasha" and the other was V/Victoria. Only one skeleton is shown. So we can speculate that either the dragon ate one, she jumped/fell or somehow managed to escape.
a prequel would be a sad ending because before Elodie no one made out alive. And there would be no satisfying ending with the castle being burned to the ground like in this movie.
@@Kaguraaaplays For the first half of the film, I figured Victoria for her stepmother
I love the scene when the dragon lights up the sky with fire because she was so furious that elodie escaped.
This movie and Stardust would be a great fantasy movie duo
I love that the Stepmom is not evil and uses her intuition to try and warn Elodie. Angela Basset is a goddess.
I love that the Prince was punished at the end and accepted his fate. Even tho he showed remorse, he was still willing to sacrifice these women for his own gain.
The evil queen is a magnificent actress
Its a very cool film. Absolutely recommend watching it.
When the dragon realized that she killed innocent woman the dragon seems sad about it, but even if the woman really were from royal blood they still would be innocent. They would not be responsible for the death of the baby dragons.
Omg, valid point
True but theu are benefitting from the royal life.
@@a.m928Elodie was shown to be hard working girl, not a spoiled princess benefitting from a royal life! And even if they were...do they deserve to die for that?
@@queenieofdarkness I know that. But I am talking about the royal Aurean family. Not Elodie.
I am not saying the deserve per say but they also got to enjoy some royal life as a consequence of their ancestor.
@@a.m928those of the royals who knowingly participated in the sacrifice of the girls surely deserved their fate. We saw that the girls who have been sacrificed came from all over the world and they were innocent
My main takeaway from the film is: don't betray a redhead, she will f-k you up.
as a step mom, I loved that the step mom was the one who had her back! we need more of that!
Sounds like my daydreams of Daenarys Targeryan and dragons who kick butt but without dumb rushed endings
When the dragon dracarysed on the royal family and castle, I thought how that was what should have happened in King's Landing instead of the regular people.
And without dragonslayers.
Rushed ending or no what we got was how Danys story was always meant to end
I really really loved the ending of this movie! It showed that compassion and mercy are great strengths, not just fighting. Killing the dragon would have been cheap and just sad. The dragon and Elioie both deserved revenge on the Kingdom and it delivered.
so would the parents of the girls the dragon killed
@@queenieofdarkness yeah that's true
I see people on other channels hating on the movie. Like did they even watch it? I loved the movie.
That dragon did NOT deserve revenge on people that did it no harm. Your moral compass is so far off its backwards.
@@Chichi-sl2mqno they didn't. Look at their other videos. Its just hating everything.
I actually liked this. If Netflix could bet some better green screen they could be on to something
Not all of it was green screen milly said in one of her vids that the landscape and stuff was real
@@OuatoveryouYep, some of it was actually filmed on real locations!
@@Ouatoveryou oh yeah I noticed. Some shots were just so obvious such as when she was on the cliff side. I think they should have just edited that weird vertigo type angle out. It just differs so much in quality compared to the really good stuff. I commend them on being on location. I only mention the funky looking stuff because this is what keeps movies from being taken seriously on Netflix. It reads as cheap, thus not important. Then they don’t get as much attention and less budget going forward. The quality will only drop from there.
@@dantan1249 yeah I know what you mean cheap green screen is annoying but I didn’t notice it that much in this movie like idk if that’s just me but I didn’t think it was too bad. The only one I thought was bad green screen milly said wasn’t 😂
@@Ouatoveryou this definitely wasn’t the worst I’ve seen but it’s just so common on Netflix that it catches my eye
I've just watched it and i think it's fantastic. Disney should take note, i was so bored while watching Wish.
My daughter actually made us leave Wish 30 minutes in. She was so bored
I actually really love this movie. Yea, it has a simple and predictable plot when you think about it. But it's executed so well that it was just awesome. Never in my life did I ever think it would be so satisfying to see a kingdom of people burn to the ground by a dragon. Bear in mind they were the evil dragon baby killing type of people.
I wonder how was that map made... Did a girl explore the entire cave, then find the exit, then come back to draw it? How could one possibly know where the exit is if you've only gotten to the ''safe'' part of the cave? xD
I think every girl added on to the map or it could have been solely done by Victoria. She saw the light at the top where the crystals are and assumed that was the way out so she came back to draw the map before going back to make her escape and unfortunately met her demise.
@@cher43615 Victoria DID have the "Not Safe" warning up at that entrance. Either because it opened up to a sheer cliff or because the Dragon could fly around and attack from the outside. Either way, it wasn't a clear/easy way out. She could have done what Elodie did, climb back down when things dind't go well up there. Then finish the map.
@@ronrogers7743 I don't think Victoria was able to come back down after writing the "Not Safe" note. She must have written that after seeing that it just opens up to a very steep cliff but Elodie found Victoria's skeleton right below that note so it looks like she died on the spot. She must have made the map before climbing up.
@@cher43615 victoria didnt draw the map it was another girl
Dam too critical
Love that ending. Always love it when villains get their due. Robin Wright was magnificent, as usual.
The real villain was the dragon all along! And she got off scot-free! She is the one who demanded hundreds of innocent girls die bc of what some guy did hundreds of years ago. The only reason the royals kept killing those girls, was to save their own daughters. They are victims trying to survive their abuser (the dragon)
@@madnessends2477 you need to go back and watch this again. the dragon demanded that 3 daughters OF THE ROYAL BLOODLINE be sacrificed to her every generation because they killed her children, the last of her kind. the royals are the evil ones for bringing in "brides" to cross bloodlines with in order to trick the dragon into believing they were royal children.
Okay, this is subversion of fairy tales and gender tropes DONE RIGHT!
Disney could learn a lot from this one.
Write solid characters, give them deeper/more complex reasons behind their actions, and show their struggles to overcome their own faults and grow as characters.
A damn good story and an entertaining watch. Highly recommend to others.
Plus, the queens crown melting down her face from the dragon fire? That was siiiiiiick!!!
I thought the same. She was not a Captain Marvel for sure. Elodie had to fight and go through hell to win, and the supporting characters were competent human beings with motives too, not idiots. Even her father who first tried to kill her, literally throw a rope to her, making her escape possible. This doesn't diminish what she achieved, but it makes more real. Nobody exists in the vacuum.
So far so good for Millie Brown and her Netflix features... The two Ebola Holmes films were great... and this next one was action packed again... Makes me so happy that she is choosing these types of narrative's of strong characters that need to fight back...
She would be great in a new Alien film...!
This story centres on the ye old medieval times when the kings and lords think they can send out the 'weak' as a sacrifice or to appease the gods or what ever they think will keep their own peace and happiness... Not the happiness of the common folk... This is where the films gets interesting, because a character that has nothing, has nothing to loose when they know their internal character is telling them what to do..
It's not Ebola holmes! 😂😅 it's Elona holmes! 😂😂😂
@@anitachow8910 Also wrong. 😂 It's Enola, or alone spelled backwards.
😂
😅😅😅😅
@@NotoriousEKB It's so funny that I almost think it was done on purpose...almost 👀
The "You think we ought to fear you know?" - at the end - is a "You and whose army? - My army." situation. The queen thought she "somehow" escaped the dragon - she had no idea. Great movie, it's a pity it isn't in theatre - maybe a few years from now.
it also gives off grace's your all f***ed now smile from ready or not
I really love the Stepmom Twist. ..... I'm a stepmom and I know lots of stepmom's and we would die for our kids because they're not our step kids there are kids! Thank you for showing the truth about many Stepmoms.
I’m curious how the Dragon didn’t realize the blood trick the first time!
It would have been obvious for a human because the princesses looked so different from each other, but I think it was quite ok. Every species/creatures has their own senses and perception, like dogs don't recognise faces, but remember people's smell for years.
Because all she smells is the royal blood, and gurl.. How would you even see the wound if the dragons just spew fire whenever a princess is thrown at the pit? Plus, it's dark, and some of the ritual just lasts for a minute, especially if the princess was just screaming and running. All the dragon knew was that it's a princess of royal blood. Elodie was the first one to overcome all the obstacles, while the others survived just enough to create a map and explore the whole mountain.
because none of them thought to tell her i guess
@@bluelemonade6430elodie made it due to aid from the previous princessea.
I like to think Elode is the dragons adopted daughter at the end. They share the same spirit. Not to negate the fact that her father was killed, but ya know...details details
The father sold her as dragon meat, so not real sad he died.
@@leanne4896 But, he regretted it and told her to use his ropes to get out there. Not too mention, he told the dragon he couldn’t sacrifice his daughter like that. He may have been a king, but not the one that slayed innocent dragons who literally just hatched.
And the minor detail the same dragon terrorised, tortured, maimed, burned and ate hundreds of innocent, terrified girls for centuries.
But, y’know. Details.
@@vaporwave4880the Dragon was blinded with Rage, Grief and Hopelessness for Her and Her Young was the last of their kind!
Do you think Someone in her Situation would listen if the only thing She Sees is Red.
Every time she smells the Scent of the Blood of the Royal Family She will Remember the Death of Her Young.
@@jaycen-xyz For three centuries? No. That’s a vile justification. The dragon enjoyed taunting its innocent victims. It got off on their terror. That’s malice, not rage.
I really enjoyed this movie and I didn't expect to.
Also did the dragons bleed gold? Was that why they were the last of own kind?
Also also who draped the eggs in jewelry? I'm assuming the mother just seemed odd
Hmm.. It does look like the dragons bleed gold... now that i try to analyze it. Maybe thats why they're sought after by the greedy royals 🤔
@@mysterygurl847 that's what I was thinking. That they slaughtered the dragons and painted the carriages and buildings in blood
Not sure about the bleeding gold thing--but I took the eggs being draped in jewelry as the dragon mother making a shrine to her babies out of the "sacrifices" and conquests of those who she deemed responsible for their deaths. Sort of decorating in a way to say "see, those who did this have suffered and paid."
@@249Bubbles good take
Wasn't the jewelry from some of the dead princesses?
Elodie does feel that something's off. from when they're on the boat to Aurea kingdom and until they meet the queen the next day, but everyone exept her stepmother tells her that everything is fine
Lots of gaslighting to convince her her instincts are wrong.
I knew they would cooperate because the dragon could speak
Elodie and the Dragon are like Dustin and Dart in Stranger Things 2, like they have a bond. Just think about it, someone would probably say, "Just because the dragon scared the princesses to their deaths, it doesn't mean that the dragon is bad". "Queen Buttercup" and her ancestors were the ones who tossed all the princesses in that cave in the first place. Besides, the dragon also learned that just because a few knights or humans killed her babies, it doesn't mean every human has to pay for it. It also occured to me that the Dragon didn't really eat any of the princesses, she just scared them into that safe tunnel where they eventually died. Yes, the dragon still killed some knights, the first princess that Elodie saw her first night in the castle, and Elodie's dad, but they were both lied to (Elodie and the dragon), and that's what they have in common. That's why the dragon helped Elodie, to make sure that what she went through doesn't happen to anyone else again.
i loved how elodie was still a feminine character who just wanted to be her own person
and who wanted to protect others without giving up who she was or her femininity
The settings, the costumes, the music - it all fucks so severely, I couldn't help but love the movie.
I enjoyed it. I liked that the Prince was kind of decent. Like he protested using Floria for the ritual and at the end, he accepted his fate with a smile(kind of smile). He did bad things, wasn't 100% on board with them so he accepted the consequences. They could have made him a lot more scummy. I wonder since they used the whole blood thing to trick the dragon(even though they are princesses just from another land and still royal), wouldn't it be easier to just use peasants? You can pay them off cheaper than a neighboring country and you aren't pissing off other countries by killing their kids(although with consent).
Kind of decent? He threw multiple women down a hole to remain privileged. He had a tiny touch of humanity when Floria was thrown into the hole but he’s a serial killer and his family are into genocide. Kind. Of. Decent.
True.. because the people there already know they're sacrificing every 20 years or so they could just buy a peasant from far away!.. sounds illogical to me as well..
They probably just believed only princesses could be eligible to turn into royal, where peasants couldn’t, even if they were readily available and they could do the blood ritual. Probably unsaid movie logic rule, they never state. Or either they never saw peasants as people, so they didn’t even pay them any mind.
@commanderhedgehog590 seeing how the queen is rudely straightforward about "stations" when talking to the stepmother that is possible
Watched it last night. Enjoyed it. Started thinking about all the plot holes and logic liberties taken by it listening to that cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." Realized the best approach to STAY enjoying the film is to not overthink it :)
That one sad kid knight is cute AF.
I thought it was Brooklyn Beckham at first
The dragon and Elodie in the end of the movie was soo satisfying and Love the fact that her step mother supported her and wasnt the villian.
It gave fourth wing vibe😭i love it, the dragon reminded me of tairn
Same, but the FW saga was better in any case (and it's about to become a tv series done by Amazon, yay!❤️🔥🐲): this Damsel was the usual survival game with the insta-badass-warrior girl, Star Wars' Rey style, and a too thin plot...
I'd have preferred to see a 3rd Enola film with Millie instead, those were great fun, especially the 2nd movie...🥲🎬🩷🔍🌷
@@federicatrevisan3767 i know FW is love, I kinda imagined Tairn like this🤣 that's where my imagination ended, I hope they will fo justice to the adaptation, I can't wait for the third book😭❤️
Netflix has been producing some great content lately. Disney should take notes. This is the right way to develop a female heroine who goes from a simple princess to a warrior in a growth arch. Excellent film.
Loving it
Loved a good stepmom.
That’s what I said. Then they used Angela Bassett to really bring it home 😂
I really love she didn't killed the dragon because she got her justice as well
I just finished this film. Millie is so gorgeous.❤ I never saw stranger things, TBH.
You have to see Stranger things, you don't know what you're missing and Millie is fantastic too.

I was skeptical about this movie but damn i am amazed idk its mbb effect or smth i LOVED it
This movie was soooo cool i hope we get a part 2
They showed without telling the first wife elodie seeing her on her balcony them both questioning who each other is but then when elodie comes back outside there is no sign of her which we know because she has been sacrificed and killed and then seeing her dead body being freshly burnt is so interesting
I thought dragons can lay eggs even without a mate. I hope she can still lay eggs.
you do know dragons aren't real right?
Yes and nether is unicorn but I do agree if there’s another movie of this I hope the dragon does find a mate and the legend lives on. A kingdom with dragons as their trust friend sounds amazing
@@keddakedda7939 In another universe, she end up with Smaug
@@iCanHasRandomnessyou sound so stupid
@@iCanHasRandomnessNo shit sherlock. Lol
I think it's great the dragon goes to the frozen land where Elodie lives, maybe dragon can help with giving fire lol...I would imagine dragon would be like a 'god' later on lol.
As a 90’s baby who grew up on princess movies I highly appreciated the fire in the sky the fire bird cave and the design of the dragon 🐉 the story was such a good twist , when it was over with I was like WHY DIDN’T I HAVE THIS GROWING UP 🔥💯
Nice video. I loved this movie. It was the ending I wished for Daenerys and Cersei in the Game of Thrones...
Bro forgot the dragon killed her dad
Well, her dad sold her like a pig for slaughter, he deserved it. Also, he had his "the moment he knew, he fvcked up moment" after the convene with the queen. At least he had some a bit of redemption when he tried to rescue her
Ummm...but he knew what would happen...and she had her little sister to worry about...and lets give it up for Lady Bayford...she didnt even know if Elode was alive but went after Floria
Anyone who doubted her met their fate; including her father who sold her, aware and willing of the known fate. No pitty parties were present lol love that for her
It's what he deserves for selling her daughter like a pig for slaughter. He did had "at this moment he knew, he f*cked up" when the queen and him had a convene together. At least in the end, he did try to redeem himself by trying to save her daughter with uncertainty.
And thats the lesson, instead of continuing the cycle of revenge. She accepted that her father, although she loved him, also chose a path that led to his death. Had he not sold his daughter, he would still be alive. We are victims of our choices sadly. He was never an innocent victim. I'm glad he did redeem himself at the end, albeit late, but it still counts.
I love that the dragon burned down the kingdom of lies.
The name Victoria is the Latin word for victory, its funny that they gave the girl who escaped the name Victoria.
She didn’t escape tho she died at the cave part where the dragon came
@@dizzy_opz2744 i know but we thought she escaped.
@@mansamusa8410 no it literally showed her body I’m talking about the part we’re the main character almost got out of the mountain but she was so high up she couldn’t go anywhere and the dragon flew to her
@@dizzy_opz2744 I meant we the views thought Victoria escaped before we saw her charred remains.
@@mansamusa8410 well no duh
I loved it! I think the dragon is going with people who won't lie to her. All she has in Aurea are sad memories. It's time to start fresh!
dragon design was pretty cool being honest as well
I heard the book is a wild read as well! It's on my TBR
Finally… a dragon movie where they are embraced. Not killed….
I loved this movie! I just finished watching this. I’m so happy the truth was told and the dragon was freed from her trauma, from losing her children. I’m also happy that Elodies father had his bidding. No need for sadness for his mistake.. his greed got the best of him. It also makes since the blood pact fooled the dragon into thinking the princesses were “blood” royalty. Ugh I’ll be watching again ❤
I actually liked it, a lot. Wasn't expecting much as this is Netflix, but to my surprise, the story is pretty new and quite unique.
I can't believe the queen just told to the father "oh, your girl will be sacrifice" and that he accepted it... like you would never do that to protect your "people"
How did V leave a complete map of the cave in the safe spot if she died at the mountain peak opening? Does royal blood replace regular blood, because I don't get how one cut with intermingled blood masks the scent of Elodie's untainted blood from her many other wounds? Why would they have two sacrifices there at the same time? When did they have time to marry that first girl, sacrifice her, then come back to do the whole thing again with Elodie without anyone noticing?
Yeah I thought that was really weird, did V just keep coming back to that one spot after she explored every plot important part of the cave?
Didn’t she also discover the remains of the baby dragons? Which is why Elodie had that dream where she was told the history was a lie?
I think victoria only saw the light at the top and though it was an exit so she went back, drew it and went up only to find it wasn’t, and she died here
I was confused at this part too, but here's my theory about it:
- Victoria saw the Crystal cave and saw the sunlight peeking from above.
- She climbed the crystals and saw the same sight as Elodie: She can see the outside world, but she wouldn't be able to leave.
- She went back to the Safe cave and drew a map, so she'd remember how to get back.
- She goes back to the Sunlight Top a second time, and that's where the dragon arrived to kill her.
- Right before she dies, she writes on the wall "Not safe, V", so that the next princesses would know that that part of the mountain is still accessible to the dragon.
im pretty sure a different princess drew the map
@@Storm-zp9zm V initialed the map, so it's pretty clear that she made it.
Even if it were another princess, that doesn't change the problem. How would this or any princess be able to leave a complete map of the cave system if they haven't fully navigated it yet? Once they do navigate it to where the alleged exit was, one would assume they'd exit leaving no one to complete the map. If they went back to finish it, (1) Why? You've found the exit, why risk being killed by the dragon to go back and scrawl on a wall? (2) Why wouldn't they also note that the exit isn't really an exit? It's a bit of a plot hole, or at the very least a plot contrivance.
Love this movie. First, it’s meant to be reminiscent of classic fantasy so the “cheesy” aspect people are criticizing actually works well. But second, I love that all the characters that are traditionally villainized or dismissed as dispensable are given new perspectives and agency, unlike in classic fantasy. The princess sacrifice, the step mom, the dragon… it’s so refreshing to finally see a story like this told through a lens that isn’t the macho knight who kills everyone in his path to enter the home of a “monster” and then unquestionably slaughter the animal without question.
Oh man I loved this.
Shoulda had this movie's production designer on the witcher show.
And ATLA: this makes ATLA look so bad
I hope this gets a prequel or sequel, or both. I hope Elodie helps the dragon find other surviving dragons and helps the dragon heal from the trauma of losing her daughters. I would also like to see the previous princesses, especially Victoria, and maybe even more backstory on the evil queen snd the stepmother
I love how ironic this movie is because its always the prince who saves the girl from the dragon but here its the prince that takes advantage of an innocent girls trust and throws her off the bridge into the dragon’s lair. Its beautiful how this time the girl saves herself from the dragon who also inturn is much more than the typical monster portrayed to be inherently. The evil step mother stereotype is also broken.
Dragon would probably stay with them for a while and help them through the freeze
i really enjoyed it! I like that the roles Millie Bobbie Brown picks are so strong.. The trailer had me thinking that maybe escaping or defeating a dragon is a rite of passage for princesses...that would have been pretty interesting too. I wonder if the dragon adopts Elodie as a daughter and starts a new life..
Soooo, nobody in this frozen land suggested cutting the tree stumps up and digging up the roots to have more firewood?
Maybe the land is too frozen to dig into? I dunno 🤣🤣🤣
THANX thought I was the only one thinking that!
Umm have you ever tried that during winter? It's almost impossible!
The ground is too hard.
😂What? Try digging through frozen ground! Good luck with that just using old school tools. Even with modern machinery it's EXTREMELY difficult. 😅😅😅
that cave and dragon fight looks like a quest level in Dark Souls....i would have play that quest...lol
Getting a cool sword at the end and a dragon as personal guard...nice
❤ I saw many people saying it was bad, so decided to watch it, to see just how bad it was and I absolutely LOVED it! I loved the dragon and mollies character!
When the queen is wearing her red ceremonial robes, the pendant on the choker she is wearing is in the shape of a dragon’s head.
10/10 story well written 👏 👌...please please part 2..
You really did a deep analysis and research for this video, including Elodie's name meaning
It was a refreshing twist on a tired classic tale. As soon as the dragon said”RUN” I was hooked!
I thought this was a good movie.
This is the good movie
I liked it
Like it. 😊
I seen several movies Millie has done for Netflix and enjoyed every one of them, including this one. all were well written and well preformed. never really thought of her as an action star until now. I would like to see a sequel to this movie and an Enola Holmes 3. keep up the good work Millie, I can see an Oskar in your future.
Damsel is a beautiful and cool movie. A heart wrenching story and brilliant special effects
Elodie was forgiving, caring and courageous in nature. Totally respectable character for me. Millie Bobby Brown did a fantastic job (obviously because she's also had practice handling gigantic kaiju level lizards before )
not gonna lie i saw it so i decided to kill time but i was so into it hahaha that i watched it two times haha i wish there would be more movies like this with a similar kind of plots yk
WTF needs explaining about this movie or it's ending? It's pretty well explained in the movie.
It absolutely was! I was skeptical at first but felt i should at least give it a try ,so glad i did.👍
When will you cover TWD "the ones who lived"? I'm still waiting for it!😫
They r making new walking dead shows still? Lol how many r there now?
@@TheRealBatCave tbh too many😂, but the latest ones are really good. And especially this one but I don't wanna spoil it, if you intend to watch it.
I agree! Please cover TWD: TOWL 🙏🏻
it was brilliant!!! and WUAAAAUUUW the dragon look good!!!!
It struck me, this could be the ancient history of Game of Thrones. The dragon who is now bonded with Elodie move into her land where people respect her as their greatest ally. Later she discovers she is not the last of her kind and with the help of the dragons the kingdom became incredibly powerful. Elodie start a family as a queen and her house will be remembered in history as the "House of Dragon".
It was a basic girl is no longer damsel movie. The key difference is the brilliance of her escaping and her seeing the other girls. As well as the ending for her father and the royal family. They also actually made her a normal woman and not “some badass and every man is lame bleh.” Which I appreciated because they LOVE doing that.
Ending could have been better. It would make sense to have a scene where the dragon asks Elodie why spare its life even after it killed her father. Elodie explains the concept of mercy, thus making the dragon indebted to her out of respect. Changing the dragon's mind about humans not all being evil. Not sure how I feel about the "taming" part, the revenge & walk out of the burning castle was too cheesy for me, its just missing that something that brings it all together.
Hmm. I don’t really interpret Elodie’s relationship with the dragon stemming from “taming”. It’s made very clear in the movie that the dragon is a highly intelligent, sentient being capable of extreme violence when provoked that no human could stand against by force alone. I interpreted more as the dragon leaving behind her hatred and grief after finishing the royal family and going with Elodie to her kingdom to start a new life. Kinda tied back to each at the dragon said earlier. “We are the same. We’re both destined to die alone” or something like that, because now the dragon is no longer alone. She and Elodie have each other and they’re both getting a fresh start in a land untouched by Aurea’s corruption.
As far as the burning the castle down scene, I agree it was very cheesy but in a satisfying way 😂
It was a tad cheesy but I can live with that.
I enjoyed it. I'm going to watch kt with my daughter tonight. I appreciated that the stepmom was rhe only decent adult in the group.
It seems to me that the dragon is deeply lonely, so I think she's off to live with Elodie and her ladies.
No one is gonna mess with that kingdom every... Not woth dragon napalm breath.
Are you following Constellation? Would love to watch your take in it..
I loved this movie so much! Though i don’t completely get how Elodie and her family are so chill with the dragon after she killed lord Bayford🤷♀ I also liked how they didn’t give the prince a full redemption arc and had him end up with Elodie anyway. I like how he just accepted his fate. And the non evil stepmother is such a relief from all the others.
Also landscapes are gorgeous! Like the crystal cave and glowworm, cave and also Aurea. When a show has amazing landscapes it always lives rent free in my head. (Maybe cuz I can use those landscapes for painting ideas)
LOVED IT!!! LOVE HER!!! Did not love the end…🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
