The Sea Beast 2022 has beautiful art and animation 95% of the time. That's it for the positives
Plot holes
Plot convenience
Flippant writing
BS ending
The main character is selfish, arrogant, ungrateful and a liar to the same people that publish the book and stories she is so much a fan of. It's fine cause you cannot not empathize because she is an orphan kid written very maturely. Her character is contradicting and has no sense of responsibility other than being self-righteous
The royals did not make up the fact that sea monsters are dangerous. People did die and nobody were forced to go hunt the sea beasts. Hunters get paid. The are employed by the royals and that money goes to feed their families
You think fishing boats are out there catching schools of fish and sea beasts wouldn't want an easy bite. There are the adult neutral sea beasts, but what about younger and wilder beasts?
Red killed many people, even in the movie, though the writers decided not to show that because it doesn't fit the narrative. Even zoo animals are put down when they act dangerously, not that it is right, that's just how people are.
It makes no sense that spears could harm Red but not the huge concrete tower crashing on top of it. In fact it looked like the sea beasts were getting poked by toothpicks. Very underwhelming
Because of the sea beasts' size, logically they would be dangerous and logically they would not see humans as a threat. Logically killing one or two humans would be the same as killing one or two fishes in the sea. Logically in a world that has sea beasts and a history for hunting them, good weapons would be made for hunting sea beasts
The towns people are basically ''non player characters'. Logically all of them wouldn't agree and some would still be mourning the recent deaths
Hunters wouldn't hunt if they weren't getting paid well or if it was for survival. The job is life threatening, in fact, you'd be lucky to find women signing up for those kind of jobs. Hunters wouldn't hunt cause of a storybook, it would either be because of money or they were born into it and had no other options.
The writing felt like it was targeting a fandom with the message 'heroes can be wrong'. Obviously yes, but it is the fandom that calls people heroes. Fans don't become what they idolize, otherwise they wouldn't be fans. The dead is to be respected, not idolize.
