I cant even react to this, because at this stage its clear the writers are off their rocker with their own characters and their established moral system.
See what I thought was going to happen was: Bae was going to get the dagger and cause Rumpel to change Beowolf into an actual monster. Ya know, the whole outter beauty fits the inner ugliness thing. It would have been appropriate since beauty and the beast just came out, and Grendel is a real established character in WL, so it could have worked if someone they managed to weave these things together (Beowolf pretending to be a monster named Grendel really becomes a monster named Grendel).
But holy kelp cakes, they have him kill the guy? What…..are the writers….even….how do they rationalize? And then whats worse is that he feels no remorse over it, hes enjoying it. Hes justifying it.
I would have understood if Bae was forced to do it because Beo was attacking him, I would have understood if he did it and then realized how bad dark magic is and that only pushes him further away from it. But…I don’t know. I cant even right now. This is one of those many moments where you can tell the writers didn’t plan something in advance and just pulled it out of their hats to move the story along.
