Actually Philip Pullman loved the adaptation and I think Ragnar's archetype should be changed to baddy. He doesn't sound much like an ambivalent!

Well, I'm sure he loved the royalties and extra readership it will bring him! winking smiley.
The film is pretty good, it's just not Lord of the Rings good.

I thought about making Ragnar a baddy, in fact it was my first thought - but, in the context of this movie alone, he isn't out and out evil. Lee Scoresby for example seems perfectly confident that he can negotiate with the king. Then again, he does poison Iorek's father in order to gain the throne, which probably is bad enough to merit "baddy" status, so I'll update it! winking smiley

Dismemberment? Iorek's powerful punch actually ripped his jaw off!

How about Crushed for his bite?

Why does it say knocked him on his back or whatever it says up there. That is not at all what happened. I recall that Iorek knocked off Ragnar's lower jaw. You should write that in.

I think I may have blinked at the critical "jaw knocking off" moment. Can anyone confirm Ragnar definitely got his lower face ripped off?
Yeah, his lower jaw got wrecked.

Definetly. Also, even though it is pronounced "demon", it is actually spelt as "daemon".

OK, typos and jaw dismemberment added. Here's hoping for an extended cut in the DVD.
