History YMMV / Beast2022

* FridgeHorror: Another reason why the rogue lion had killed could be because the poachers probably injured him in one of their excursions. While he didn't eat any of his (human) kills, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that he would have started to by a certain point, so some of those kills might've been future surplus kills.
* FridgeSadness: Besides being short for her name, you could wonder if Meredith decided to go by "Mere", a French word for "Mother", because she had to [[PromotionToParent fulfill a motherly role for her younger sister]] after their mom died.

*** Martin apologizing to the lion before blowing up the overturned car shows that he had sympathy for the animal's plight, as it lost its pride and Martin wanted to give it a quick, merciful death.

* {{Main/Narm}}: The lion looks less believable in broad daylight then it does at nighttime. Probably explains why so many shots take place at night.
** The final fight is supposed to be tense, and it acknowledges that Nate has no chance against the lion, and yet he survives for so long that it stops being tense and becomes ridiculous. He takes more damage than [[Film/TheRevenant Hugh Glass did from the Bear]] and is still conscious.

** The climax of the film has Nate ''fight the rogue lion'' '''''practically bare-handed!''''' He's losing for basically all of it, but he gets tons of points for effort.
** And the two male lions that Martin raised from cubs intervening in the fight, saving Nate's life.

** The rogue lion's death at the end could be considered a tearjerker as well since it only went rogue in the first place due to poachers killing its pride; the rogue being killed by members of its own species could also count as a MercyKill to put it out of its misery as it was probably suffering from grief and madness.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The rogue lion finally getting revenge on the poachers who killed its pride earlier in the movie.
* NightmareFuel: Nate has a nightmare in which the rogue kills his daughters.

** Martin and Nate coming across the aftermath of a village destroyed and decimated by the rouge lion offscreen, leaving a lot of carnage and dead bodies in its wake, some of them even being friends of Martin's.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology - At times, the lion prustens: a sound that lions do not make. Prusten is unique to tigers and leopards/jaguars among the big cats. On top of that, it's a non-aggressive sound, specifically showing affection or friendliness, such as between mother and cubs. Tiger sounds are often dubbed over lions, as their roars are more impressive (even The Lion King did it.) So, some other tiger sounds were obviously mixed in.
** Also the lion's first bite to the spine would have killed Nate, and punching a big cat engineered to take water buffalo kicks to the face would not work. But given the pains the movie went through to show accurate lion behavior, they're very forgivable details for RuleOfCool.
