Fanart do Bico de Ferro, da Lenda dos Guardiões, baseado na versão dele do filme, já que a dos livros é um pouco...diferente, começando pelo fato de não ser uma coruja suindara preta 😅. Eu não consegui deixar a mascara do jeito certo, mas eu tentei XD

what do you think of soren’s fight with metal beak until the end with metal beak being killed by a fire branch?

Honestly quite interesting cause the whole “passing of the torch” thing .

It’s very clear Ezylryb’s “mentor” title passes on to Soren . Soren’s eager to tell his stories , teach young owlets arriving at the tree etc.

[ The importance of Soren diving into fire and doing what’s right ]

Before discussing the importance of Metalbeak dying by fire , the act of Soren retrieving the fire with the oil pot from the nearby forest fire to aqcuiring the branch and interfering to save Ezylryb is all very important to Soren’s journey of discovering justice and where his morals lie .

Before this , his idea of the Guardians was like that of a children’s bedtime stories ( which is how his da told them ) but the reality is much harsher as Ezylryb points out . “It’s doing the right thing again and again”

Soren flying into the fire is the culmination of Ezylryb’s teaching and his newfound stance on what it means to be a Guardian and not just a children’s hero . He’s reborn from the flames almost like a phoenix .

When Soren first expressed his disbelief with Lyze being a small screech owl , Ezylryb calls him out on his idealised version of war as a hero’s story .

“what did you expect ? a tyto alba with gleaming armor and battle claws , the moon rising behind them ?”

Soren ends up fulfilling that imagery , becoming the hero that he thought he ought to be .

[ Fire as a weapon and the symbolism of it causing the fall of the Pure Ones ]

There’s many ways to interpret it but I think it’s a very fitting choice . Instead of using battle claws or the blades that some of the older Guardians carry , Soren forges his own weapon the same way he forges his own path by choosing to chase and find the Guardians and follow his gizzard .

It’s also him taking over Ezylryb’s position as mentioned , finishing the fight that Ezylryb started and bringing an end to Metalbeak / Surtr .

Another interesting parallel to note is that fire destroyed the fleck traps that were the Pure Ones’ greatest weapon / plan , and fire was what killed Metalbeak .

Fire’s often associated with passion , courage , confidence , which Soren has so much of . The fact that the Pure Ones’ empire was taken down by that is quite symbolic and fitting of what the Guardians stand for . :}
