History Recap / Primal2019E14TheRedMist

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Vikings may be merciless raiders and slavers, but they love their families as much as anyone else. When Rikka's husband and eldest son Eldar return to find their family and village slaughtered, they're ''devastated'' and take the time to give them proper funerals before setting off to avenge them. On the other hand, despite mourning their own losses, they clearly have NoSympathy for the slaves they've likewise ripped away from their own lives and loved ones, despite understanding the values and bonds of family, showing a cultural self-centredness, and when they're battling Spear and Fang, it apparently never occurs to a single villager to ''spare'' their loved ones from getting involved, Rikka outright ordering her son to shoot Spear with his bow from the rooftops, and the villagers allowing their children to take up arms despite the peril to them, blaming Spear instead for the death he causes them in self-defence. One woman even goes out to fight him with a ''baby'' strapped to her chest, rather than leaving her child in a safe place, much to Spear's horror.

* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: This is very much the sentiment Spear and Fang try to communicate to the surviving villagers after Rikka and her youngest are killed in the fight, Spear mounting Fang and the Duo trying to flee the village by the nearest exit, growling threateningly at the vikings as they do so to keep them away and avoid both having to shed more necessary blood. Unfortunately, the red mist that descends on the village results in them accidentally heading towards the cliff face when they get disoriented due to the poor visibility, and the viking's stubborn instance on pointlessly aggravating a superior opponent after their best fighters have all been killed results in them eventually getting killed to the last man, which is the only way Spear and Fang have enough breathing room to leave the village.

* OffModel: The wounds that Fang and Spear sustain throughout vanish frequently between shots, a particularly egregious example being when Rikka embeds an axe into Fang's leg, and the axe and wound are inexplicably missing in the next full-body shot of Fang.

* WouldHurtAChild: {{Downplayed}}. Spear is horrified when he sees young children joining in the adults in menacing him and even seeing a crying child strapped to one woman's chest as she menaces him with a spear. When Rikka's youngest son starts pelting him with arrows he's angered, but shows restraint, choosing to ignore his attacker in favor of the more adult ones as much as he can, and the boy's death comes about from him continuing to attack Spear even [[SuicidalOverconfidence close-range in Spear's element]], jumping on Spear's back and clawing at his face, causing the caveman to throw him off in pain, and his head to hit a rock on his landing, something which [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone sparks remorse in Spear]].

* AssholeVictim: Downplayed but still present. Spear and Fang are driven into such a corner that they snap and slaughter a village full of warriors, women, children and elderly included. Disturbing, but given that the Vikings wantonly slaughter and enslave seemingly peaceful people like Mira (as Eldar returns, he's bringing another batch of victims), it's hard to feel ''too'' sorry for them. Indeed, the level of slaughter only really escalated to that point because the bear-riding party forced Spear and Fang backwards into the village, and then they continued attacking them even when Spear and Fang were clearly trying to ''leave''. It's likely that they are on the receiving end of a level of brutality that they have inflicted on numerous others, and that's without considering some of the other things Vikings were known to do to their victims.

* AllThereInTheScript: The Viking chieftain's name is Eldar, according to the credits.
