Beowulf - The Dragon - European - Extra Mythology

After the Grendel and the Bog Witch incident, Beowulf was ready to kick back and relax... and he did! He was made king of an entire realm and governed with wisdom and compassion. But when your youth was filled with wrestling monstrous abominations sometimes the sedentary political life feels a little... boring. Lucky for Beowulf there was a dragon right around the corner.

Meanwhile, Saint George is screaming: "Use your belt! Use your goddamn belt around the Dragon's neck!"

[PaulGAckerman]

And as Beowulf exhaled his final breath Wiglaf said, "the dragon was venomous, not poisonous.". With one final act Beowulf plunged the poisoned/venomed dagger into Wiglaf's eye saying, "grammar nerds are the worst."

[MariaVosa]

- the only witness to Beowulf leaving all his wealth to Wiglaf, was Wiglaf. Also the only dude who was around when Beowulf died from * checks notes * poison.
Uh-huh. Ok. Sounds legit.

[Rose-zlox]

The only enemy that Beowulf couldn’t conquer: Bureaucracy

[theemries]

Loki: I have an army.
Beowulf: I AM the army!

[batavica]

Venomous = It bites you and you die

Poisonous = You bite it and you die

People are correcting EC for using poisonous instead of venomous but in my opinion Beowolf was just so badass that he actually bit the dragon to kill it

[dnomyar]

You forgot the key ingredient to any good montage: the montage music

[lourdeswhitener]

The dragon was mad because some fella stole it’s favorite teacup or something Overly Sarcastic Productions

[PramkLuna]

Beowolf: I don't need an army, I AM THE ARMYY!!!

[waylandwarner]

Christianity, Beowulf, Norse Mythology, Greek Mythology and Arthurian Legend really have inspired modern fantasy as a whole

[memebro]

The dragon must have been working for Walpole.

[DragoniteSpam]

my favorite part about this sponsorship was watching the stack of coffee cups Plushie Zoey was sitting on grow higher and higher
6:57 also venomous = it bites you, you die; poisonous = you bite it, you die

[WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

The Geat with the most yeet
Packs the sauce to beat the boss
No Dane will be the same
After Beowulf win his fame

[BimmerDreameri]

Sounds a lot like Smaug. I wonder if this was inspiration for Tolkien.

Edit: Yup, they covered that base. Should have waited ‘till the end of the video to post.

[cirthador]

I get chills every time I hear those words: "Myths are not stories that are untrue..."

[evilanagram]

The relative size expectations we have for dragons compared to those of medieval Englishmen is apparent here. There's no indication in the text that he only came up to her ankle.

[qjames]

Ancient Peoples: yo Beowulf we need you again
Beowulf: Got you fam

[andyjay]

1:45 "Gee, it sure is boring around here." "Mah boi, this peace is what all true warriors strive for."

[Houstofcards]

When do we get the lies episode where you explain why grendels mother isn’t Angelina Jolie

[shawnheatherly]

Got to love Beowulf needing to see some shiny stuff before he died.
