Bizarre Alien Biology
 The Sea Beast / int_1161fb48
comment
Bizarre Alien Biology: After being swallowed alive, Jacob and Maisie wander up into Red's nasal passages to find a transparent membrane blocks their escape out her nostrils (and keeps the ocean out). It serves as a surreal Shark Tunnel, as through Red they're able to finally appreciate the true beauty of Under the Sea, but also the vast graveyard of ships and monsters; they poignantly see just how senseless the struggle against the sea beasts really is.

 The Sea Beast / int_14099f40
comment
Mammal Monsters Are More Heroic: The most heroic sea beast, the Red Bluster, looks distinctly mammalian, resembling a cross between a whale and a sea lion. By comparison, the more neutral beasts have fish or cephalopod features and the most hostile beast resembles a crab.

End of an Age: Early on in the film, the King and Queen inform Captain Crow that the kingdom's days of relying on ragtag crews of monster hunters like his are coming to an end, as they intend to use a massive war ship crewed by the Royal Navy to deal with the monsters. In the end, ultimately, a different age ends — the age of monster hunting, following Maisie exposing the royal family's lies about monsters.

Deal with the Devil
 The Sea Beast / int_1fc8335e
comment
Sea witch Gwen Batterbie is never seen again after her single scene. Considering her Deal with the Devil entailed ownership over everything Crow owns, including the lives of the crew, this seems oddly unresolved, though it's possible that either the end of hunting was the cost, or that the deal wasn't complete because Red is still alive.

comment
Good Is Not Soft: The interactions between the deuteragonists and the massive sea monsters show just what happens to humans being around and fighting creatures of that size and scale. Even though Red is a Gentle Giant towards humans she trusts, her capacity for destruction and accidental loss of life is as enormous as her. Jacob has to point out to her that in her desire to destroy the Imperator, she injured Maisie by accident.

Aborted Arc: Captain Crow strikes a deal with Gwen Batterbie, who asks for "everything" as a price in exchange for the Hand of God. However, the deal never comes up again after this point, and Gwen is never mentioned again. Though one could argue that Crow has lost everything by the end of the movie, since he has pushed away Jacob and the days of monster hunting are over.

comment
Ironic Echo: Both times Maisie cuts a rope, it is to save a life, but whose life she's saving is different. The first time, after coming face to face with the dangers of the sea and the Red Bluster, she decides to cut the rope connecting the Inevitable to it to save the lives of the crew. She later does the same thing against the Inevitable crew to save Red's life, trying to end the conflict between humans and sea beasts. When Maisie is first discovered stowing away aboard the Inevitable, Captain Crow takes a liking to her and her stubborn pluckiness, saying that she's "full of vinegar." Later, after he's poisoned Red with the Hand of God, she attempts to stab him unsuccessfully, and he ruefully repeats that she's "full of vinegar" and leaves.

comment
The Dreaded: The Red Bluster is the largest and most feared of all the sea beasts, able to take out a ship with its massive horn with little difficulty. Even other sea monsters are terrified of it, with a whole swarm of 'Riddlebacks' fleeing their normal territory as it approaches and a Giant Enemy Crab having a visible Oh, Crap! expression when face-to-face with it. However, it's actually a Gentle Giant that won't hurt a soul unless provoked. Gwen Batterbie the sea witch, a reclusive old woman with a talent for poisons and deadly weapons. It's said that her wares come with a steep, non-monetary cost, so the Code of the Hunters forbids turning to her.

Awesome, but Impractical: The royal monster-hunting ship, the Imperator. It's a grand, extravagant vessel packed to the brim with cannons, but as Captain Crow points out, the immobility of the cannons and its low build make her ill-equipped to deal with sea monsters. As expected, Red makes short work of it when it finally encounters her, and splits it in half with a single ramming charge.

 The Sea Beast / int_38f1a7ed

Defector from Decadence: Jacob does this for his loyalty to the crown — everyone under the crown, including the Inevitable — when he decides that his days of monster hunting are over. He risks a sure position as Crow's succeeding captain and his son figure, as well as favor with the King and Queen, for making a point to spare the Red Bluster's life. We never learn what becomes of his relationship with Crow or the rest of the crew of the Inevitable, but it is clear his relationship with the royals is long dried up.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Jacob attempts to dramatically snap a hunting spear over his knee... and just ends up hurting his leg, because a spear strong enough to wound a kaiju-sized sea monster isn't going to break that easily. Worse, it's actually metallic, unlike his usual wood-handled spears. He does a much better job of breaking the wooden replica spear attached to a statue, though it still hurts him a bit.

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Even after being directly ordered by the Monarchs to open fire on Red, the General sheathes her sword and outright refuses to give her men the order to fire, having been convinced by Maise's speech that the war can be ended by breaking the cycle of violence. The fact that her own brother, who served on the Monarch, was one of the countless casualties of an ultimately pointless war, most likely helped with her decision.

Shades of Conflict: Maisie and Jacob are trying to save the beasts, while the Red Bluster and Captain Crow are just emotionally wounded creatures trying to survive while stuck in cycles of revenge (and both manage to overcome this by the end). The unquestionably reprehensible characters in the film are the King, Queen and Admiral Hornagold, who are driven entirely by greed and get their just desserts for it.

She explains to the sea monster that the vicious cycle of hatred must end; if she kills a helpless Crow in front of everyone watching in the city, the age of humans and monsters killing each other will never end.

Women Are Wiser
 The Sea Beast / int_565106b3
comment
Women Are Wiser: Downplayed. Most of the leading women are the ones who keep the rest (and especially the men) out of danger, while people like Jacob, Crow, and Hornagold are all swallowed up by pride and emotion. The orphanage caretaker is constantly telling Maisie to behave and keeps the children in line; the Red Bluster keeps the other monsters from doing anything risky and fights off the crab-like one; Maisie is quickly able to make friends with the monsters, communicate nonverbally with Red, and work out her feelings on if her monster-hunting culture is a lie not to be praised before Jacob can. Even some of the most stalwart and loyal members of their respective teams, Sarah Sharpe and the General, disobey direct orders in the end to save Red's life and honor the sacrifice of their loved ones in the latter's case and otherwise remind themselves and their leaders of their moral code, and cryptic women like Gwen Batterbie still know exactly what people like Crow are driven by. The only named woman who isn't as sharp is the Queen.

AnimalMotif
 The Sea Beast / int_59e5940e
comment
Animal Motif: The sea beasts are pretty analogous for whales, who were vilified as aggressive, dangerous, and unknown sea monsters once upon a time, and for a long time. The Red Bluster drives fish to the surface using a similar move to real whales creating bubble nets. Red can also walk on land as a homage to whale evolution or "walking whales", albeit she is more like a seal or a sea lion (and actual walking whales were significantly smaller.) Whales are peaceful creatures by nature, who were basically saved in Real Life by crude oil destroying the whale oil economy. The idea that they were sensitive, intelligent animals wasn't discovered until ages later. The harpoons in Red's hide are also accurate, as 200 year old whales with unexploded harpoons in their bodies have been discovered. The culture surrounding whaling was also pretty close to the fantasy hunters, as celebrated heroes who risked life and limb for the good of humanity.

Central Theme: Two in particular: "You can be a hero and still be wrong". You can admire someone while acknowledging they aren't infallible and sometimes make mistakes. Just because a certain piece of information or version of events has been repeated for a long time, it doesn't necessarily mean it's true. In particular, you should question who is repeating this and why, because their motives may not be as selfless or benevolent as they appear, or they could simply have gotten it wrong.

When the idea of making peace with the sea monsters is brought up, he mentions that it wouldn't undo the past years of war. He ends up going back on this after Maisie begs Red to not attack him.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 The Sea Beast / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Sea witch Gwen Batterbie is never seen again after her single scene. Considering her Deal with the Devil entailed ownership over everything Crow owns, including the lives of the crew, this seems oddly unresolved, though it's possible that either the end of hunting was the cost, or that the deal wasn't complete because Red is still alive. Admiral Hornagold isn't seen after the Red Bluster leaves him behind. He and his men are presumably still stranded on that island by the time the credits roll. The monarchs are last seen running away after their guards refuse to follow their order and the general demands answers from them. What happens to them afterwards and if they manage to stay in power is unknown. We never get to see what happens to Captain Crow after he gives up the hunting, though it had been previously established that he planned on retiring after the Red Bluster was caught anyways. What happens to Sarah Sharpe and the rest of the crew after the age of monster hunting is also unknown. After Maisie leaves the orphanage, none of the other hunter orphans are ever seen again in the movie.

Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: Blue, the baby monster Maisie adopts as a pet, is about the size of a small dog. While we don't see the adult version of his species, we can assume they are enormous if they're anything like the other sea beasts in the movie. However, we do get to see this trope in action with the Warmblers, the orange walrus-like beasts on Red's island — the babies are all roughly the size of Maisie, but the mother is several hundred times their size and goes just under the treetops.

Revenge Before Reason: Captain Crow's driving motivation is to hunt down and kill the Red Bluster in retribution for it taking his eye thirty years prior. As the movie goes on, he becomes more focused on revenge, to the point where he nearly gets his own ship dragged underwater trying to take it down at any cost, and when he seemingly loses Jacob to the Red Bluster, he is even willing to violate the hunter’s code to make a deal with a so-called sea witch. Fortunately, he gets better in his last scene.

Foreshadowing: Jacob proves that his noble heart extends to even people who are not part of his crew, since he reminds Captain Crow of the Code of the Hunters and convinces him to help out a fellow hunter struggling with a dangerous sea beast. He ultimately disobeys Crow in a much bigger way by siding with the Red Bluster over him. At one point, while reading through Maisie’s book about sea beasts, Jacob comments on a town that was destroyed, noting that he had been to that area and never saw any trace of it, destroyed or otherwise. Eventually it is revealed that this was a story made up by the Royal Family as anti-monster propaganda. The books being as ornate, detailed, and plentiful as they are also speak to a powerful hand sponsoring their creation. One can spot several shells and other sea accessories adorning the King and Queen's attire, implying that the crown's insistence on slaying beasts is not entirely based on protecting the people. When the King and Queen proudly show the Imperator to Crow, the latter is quite unimpressed, noting that the ship is ill-equipped to deal with a sea monster despite its impressive firepower. Sure enough, when Red attacks the Imperator later on, she effortlessly powers through its barrage of gunfire and breaks the ship in half in a single charge.

Gender Is No Object: While the film's setting is mostly equivalent to The Golden Age of Piracy, it completely lacks the strict gender roles associated with the time; the King and Queen seem to rule as equals rather than as monarch and consort, and there are plenty of women fighting alongside the men both among the hunters and the soldiers with no sign of this being anything unusual. Sarah Sharpe is a very prominent example, being Crow's first mate and a highly respected hunter in her own right.

Several of the tactics used by the monster hunters in the film were used by Real Life whalers, such as when the crew of the Inevitable harpoon the Red Bluster and then let her engage in a futile attempt to swim away so she will grow too exhausted to fight back. This backfires in the film when the Red Bluster attempts to pull the Inevitable under, again, similar to what Real Life whales would sometimes do in response to being harpooned.

Giant Equals Invincible: Subverted with the Red Bluster, who shrugs off anything humans can muster in their endeavors to kill her, even cannon fire. Crow attempts to kill her via a powerful poison from the sea witch, an expert toxicologist. It merely incapacitates her for a few hours and leaves her sluggish and disoriented at best. However, it's stated that had Crow kept the poisoned harpoon in, it would've actually killed her.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Early in the film, Maisie longs to be a hunter like her parents and is excited to live and die in greatness like she perceives the Inevitable crew to do. Cue her first actual outing with them, where all of them risk dying when their attempt to slay the Red Bluster nearly ends with the ship getting brought down with it. She was definitely not keen to be amongst her heroes then.

Sea Monster: The seas of this universe are plagued by giant sea creatures. In fact, the "sea" part of sea monster is merely a preference to them, as all are capable of going on land to chase after their assailants... although we eventually learn they all aren't as bad as they're made out to be.

Shout-Out
 The Sea Beast / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Jacob Holland mentions one of the ways the monsters can kill you is by laying eggs in your mouth and then having their babies burst out of your chest cavity. You know, like a Xenomorph. A few characters drop "by thunder!", a turn of phrase made popular by Long John Silver from Treasure Island. Perhaps not coincidentally, Captain Crow is reminiscent of some portrayals of the character in demeanor. Captain Crow firing a harpoon against the monster that took a body part of his while screaming "I strike at thee!" is directly lifted from Moby-Dick. Admiral Hornagold is likely named after historical character Benjamin Hornigold, a pirate-turned-pirate-hunter who often shows up in pirate fiction, e.g. Black Sails and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The unknown sea monster that briefly appears in the film's prologue, with its two enormous curved horns, bears a striking resemblence to a Bewilderbeast.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane
 The Sea Beast / int_cb70651c
comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It is unclear if Gwen Batterbie is an actual witch or a chemist of some sort, since she makes the poison without any apparent magical aid, and has advanced technology at her disposal in an underground laboratory below a small witch-like hut. By all means, she is treated as a witch; the hunters consider any exchange with her as a Deal with the Devil, holding it as a violation of the hunter code, and it's said that great misfortune always occurs after making a deal with her. However, it seems that her powers have never been directly proven in-universe, since Captain Crow writes them off as "superstitions", though she does have some level of magic, if not potion-esque magic, since she temporarily moves his tattoo with a red flash of her eyes without him noticing, and it's unclear if it's because of anything supernatural or if it's Through the Eyes of Madness. While Gwen does warn Captain Crow about the cost of making a deal with her, nothing bad actually befalls him or the crew, and it's unclear if it's because they didn't kill the Red Bluster like planned or if it's really just malarkey. The crew also claims she can see through a red moon, though this is not confirmed.

Friendly Pirate: The hunters, especially the crew of the Inevitable, all have the trappings of romantic pirates with none of the unsavoriness. They have the swashbuckling attire, drinking, and sea shanties, and even a rivalry with the crown, who seem intent on shoving them out if the Red Bluster isn't caught. However, they all have a code to abide by, and for better or worse the crown keeps them under their thumb, with many of their books even encouraging the life of a hunter.

Orphanage of Love: Implied with the children's home Maisie lives in. It's a large, nicely kept building; the children are friendly to Maisie and help in her escape; and the caretaker may be strict, but she's not abusive to the children in her care. In fact, Maisie only runs away to join the Inevitable to honor her parents and not because she was treated badly by the orphanage. She does, oddly enough, say she doesn't feel like she has anyone who likes her back in Guelston, and she never does stop by to see the orphanage gang after beginning to live with Jacob, at least not that we see.

However, he grows more ruthless and revenge-driven against the Red Bluster, to the point he threatens to shoot Maisie and strikes a deal with Gwen Batterbie the sea witch. Unlike the character he's based on, though, Crow eventually lets go of his grudge against Red and survives the events of the story, giving up on his quest for revenge.

Symbolic Weapon Discarding/Symbolically Broken Object: Upon realizing that it's wrong to hunt sea monsters, Jacob tries to show his change of heart to Red, the sea monster that saved his life, by breaking his lance with his knee in front of her. However, he repeatedly fails because the shaft is made out of metal, and hurts himself trying. Later in the film, he manages to successfully break a wooden lance and declares to never hunt sea monsters again in front of a crowd to mark the end of monster hunting. Even his adoptive father, Captain Crow, drops his sword after Red backs down from eating him, marking the end of his vengeful obsession with killing her over losing his right eye thirty years ago.

Spotting the Thread: When Jacob is going through Maisie's book and commenting on the inaccuracies, like hunters using the word "yarr" way too much, he notes that one specific monster is accused of destroying a town on the coast, but he's been up and down the coast and he's never seen a town on it. This dominoes into Maisie and Jacob realizing that monsters have never actually attacked the mainland, and the accounts of them doing so were fabricated.

Surprisingly Sudden Death
 The Sea Beast / int_f12c6fb1
comment
Surprisingly Sudden Death: Not of a character, but of a ship : the Inevitable is unceremoniously destroyed by Red near the climax of the movie. Thing is, Red didn't even mean to sink the Inevitable, she just collapsed on top of it while still under the effects of Batterbie's poison. Still, the fact that the Inevitable saw no less than three generations of Captains and survived countless monster hunts only to be sunk in such an anti-climactic way deserves mention.

Foreboding Fleeing Flock: The Inevitable comes across a school of small serpent-like monsters fleeing en masse. Crow notes that they don't usually swim this far north unless they're escaping something bigger — the Red Bluster. He sets course to the direction they're fleeing from.

Here There Be Dragons: This movie takes the idea of sea monsters drawn on maps and makes it literal.

comment
Non-Malicious Monster: The sea beasts may be large and dangerous, but they're only wild animals in the end, and most prefer to avoid fighting humans if they can, fighting hunters mainly because the hunters go after them enough that they've learned to fear them. It's only because of royal propaganda that the hunters even exist at all.

Dark and Troubled Past
 The Sea Beast / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Jacob was stranded at sea for days as a kid, after a sea monster destroyed the ship he was on, until he was found by Captain Crow. Captain Crow lost his eye to the Red Bluster and has been on a quest ever since to enact his revenge. Maisie's parents were monster hunters who were killed on the Monarch. Thankfully, she was sent to an Orphanage of Love. Sarah Sharpe mentions that she's "seen things that will never go away", which puts her at odds with the idea of leaving sea monsters alone even when it's clear that they can be peaceful.

comment
Shown Their Work: The characters (particularly Captain Crow) often communicate in fairly obscure and technical nautical lingo (e.g. several mentions of "crossing the T") and it's all correct. Several of the tactics used by the monster hunters in the film were used by Real Life whalers, such as when the crew of the Inevitable harpoon the Red Bluster and then let her engage in a futile attempt to swim away so she will grow too exhausted to fight back. This backfires in the film when the Red Bluster attempts to pull the Inevitable under, again, similar to what Real Life whales would sometimes do in response to being harpooned.
