Netflix’s ‘Damsel’ Ending Explained – Does Elodie
Survive the Dragon?

Damsel, Millie Bobby Brown's next dark fantasy picture,
debuted on Netflix recently, and it's clearly not a fairytale. What occurs in
Damsel's denouement, and does Elodie manage to flee the dragon? Continue
reading to see the film's thrilling finish.
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's film Damsel features Brown
in the role of Elodie, a princess from a destitute kingdom who consents to wed
a wealthy prince in order to support her people. However, things take a dark
turn when Elodie learns that her new royal family intends to sacrifice her in
order to pay off an old debt; as a result, she is cast into a cave alongside a
fire-breathing dragon.
Instead than relying for a hero to help her, Elodie must
rely on her cunning and survival abilities. "She's not a damsel in
distress who requires saving," the Stranger Things actor said to Netflix's
Tudum. She finds several ways to save herself. It defies expectations: You
think the prince will turn around and come to her aid, but he doesn't. Never
hold out for the prince.

Dan Mazeau took the idea of a fantasy adventure and a story
about a princess and dragon and converted it "into a world [where] it's
absolutely upside down," according to Fresnadillo, who expressed his
admiration for the script. "It was a very intense adventure that I was
very delighted to conceive and to develop," the Spanish director said to
Tudum. Fundamentally, this is such a lovely tale of a young lady growing into a
strong, self-reliant, and powerful adult. Elodie is completely alone and
without support. It's an authentic experience of surviving.
Speaking with Screen Rant, Wright, who plays Queen Isabelle,
the antagonist of the movie, discussed what it was like to play a villain.
Playing a multifaceted character like that is a lot of fun; it has nothing to
do with you, the actress said. She is acting in support of a truly worthy
cause. She doesn't want to disrupt tradition because it's necessary to preserve
this realm.
Damsel debuted on Friday, March 8 on the massive streaming
platform. If you've already seen the Netflix movie, continue reading to learn
more about Damsel's dramatic conclusion, which includes whether Elodie
survives, what becomes of her sister, and what happens to the royal family.
Why Does The Dragon Kill Princesses In Damsel?
Due to actions taken by her predecessors decades ago, the
dragon specifically targets princesses of Queen Isabelle's royal family. By
killing her only three offspring, they broke the dragon's lineage by breaking
into the female's cave.
In order to atone for their transgressions, the monarch of the time pledged to
offer the dragon three princesses from his lineage each generation, preventing
the beast from destroying the fledgling realm. But the king's family managed to
trick the dragon by presenting her with princesses who were unrelated to them.
In order to make the dragon think they were related to Queen Isabelle, they
gathered young females to marry into the family and then made them participate
in a blood rite.
Does Elodie Escape The Dragon In Damsel?
Though the map that another princess had carved into the
cave's walls shows Elodie how to get out, it doesn't tell her how to escape the
dragon.
In an attempt to save her, her father and his soldiers venture inside the cave,
but the dragon discovers them. Elodie observes from a distance as the dragon
kills her father's troops and questions him. He admits that he had given Elodie
a lifelong vow in return for gold, knowing that she could hear him. Her father
asks her to forgive him before passing away.
Elodie exits the cave using her father's rope. The dragon is
looking for her furiously, so she hides outside. Even though she escapes, she
must return to the cave in order to save Floria, her sister, who Queen Isabelle
sacrificed after Elodie failed to perform the ceremony.
After a while, Elodie locates Floria, but the fall severely
damages her sister's leg. Elodie and the dragon engage in a violent battle
during which she injures the creature with the dragon's fire. The dragon admits
that they had both been duped; for all these years, she has been killing
princesses who were descended from the royal family, even now the beast is
injured and at her most vulnerable. Rather, when Queen Isabelle sliced the
other damsels in the hand, Elodie's blood mixed with theirs.

Elodie interrupts a second royal wedding at the conclusion
of Damsel, where they are attempting to find a third victim to sacrifice. When
she orders the other princess to flee, the dragon shows there with the
intention of exacting revenge by destroying Queen Isabelle and her family.
Elodie, her stepmother, and Floria are all alive and reunited in the last
scene. Elodie assures her stepmother that they will work together to manage
their realm. Returning home, they board a ship, and the dragon flies behind them
as they sail into the sunset.
