Damsel
word of advice : The stick to article comprise spoilers from Damsel .
Summary
Damselwriter Dan Mazeau explains the termination of thenew Netflix movie starring Millie Bobby Brown . Princess Elodie ( Brown ) tie a prince in a far - off kingdom to aid the impoverished multitude in her own realm . While this man and wife has the potential to be a fairy tale happy ending , it takes a dark number as her marriage is part of a larger deception in which she is sacrifice to a dragon ( voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo ) , and must fight down to survive the beast as it hunts her in its mountain lair .
The story of their lives has not been write yet as they ’re pilot away . [ We want ] to leave you with this idea that we ’ve been through our reverse version of the fag fib . It ’s our inverted version of happily ever after . As opposed to the idea that nothing ’s pass to happen , the idea is anything could happen .
Elodie wants to travel the world , the flying dragon has been in effect locked in this worked up prison for hundreds and 100 of yr . It ends with , as defend to the confines of the cave , as open as it could possibly be .
It ’s about taking these traditional knight - in - shining - armour stories and exploring them from a different perspective , and part of that is not just saving yourself but also becoming the deliverer for somebody else . We want Elodie to go through the full arc of a sub , starting from somebody frightened to becoming somebody strong .
The estimation is that when she lose her children , that was it . She was in effect going to be alone everlastingly until she died . And so , in attempt to repay the pain for that , she has caused the deaths of a mickle of young women down there in the dark . She ’s telling [ Elodie ] that this is going to keep materialize and happening and happening as penalisation and there ’s nothing you could do about it .
It ’s finally Elodie that soften the cycle per second by recognizing that she is n’t in reality alone down there , that she ’s been aid by all the other cleaning lady that came before and , in fact , owes a responsibility to them to blockade this and deepen the story .
The conception of her triumphing over the dragon , and then in some ways of harness the dragon ’s office and leave the cave with that power , was baked into the story from the showtime . There was an earlier version where the dragon did not survive the story . We felt , in sort of exploring and developing the story , that we all really became attach to the persona of the flying dragon . It felt like , in some ways , they were both dupe of this situation , and so it feel right for both of them to get along out changed , both of them to survive .
They have a raw relationship . I do n’t think they ’re necessarily partners in any way , form or form , but they ’re no longer dragon and damozel . It ’s an unresolved head what their human relationship is going to be . They ’ve surpassed what their human relationship was , this antagonistic position that they were both hurl into , essentially . And now , for the first time , Elodie is gratis in a way of life that she never has been before , and the firedrake is free in a way that it never has been before . They both have an opportunity to chart their own course .
Will The Story Of Elodie & The Dragon Continue In Damsel 2?
While Elodie and the Draco do finally team up and get their revenge against Queen Isabelle ( Robin Wright ) and the royal line who cheat them , this vengeance is not the close of their story . They have help each other and are now free to explore the populace and have experience they never think would be potential . Damsel 2could explore this relationship between Elodie and the dragonand a likely partnership , perhaps helping other kingdom that have been corrupt like Aurea was by Queen Isabelle and her root .

More important thanDamsel ’s poor reviewsare the viewership numbers that it will return , especially during its first week uncommitted on Netflix .
