Fergus's death is more of a Forgotten Fallen Friend moment than an Escoteric Happy Ending.


* EsotericHappyEnding: Fergus got ''tortured to death'' and numerous others have surely died in the battle. Yet "life couldn't possibly better be"?
** The RightfulKingReturns... and he's an infant too young to even speak. Hopefully they pick a good regent?

Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Fergus witnesses Griselda hypnotizing Hawkins, and Jean interrupts him the one time he tries to tell her. It seems as if this is about to set up a RunningGag and perhaps some NotWhatItLooksLike moments as the hypnotized Hawkins courts Gwendolyn. However, Fergus never tries to tell Jean again, and Jean never thinks that Hawkins is cheating on her.

* MoralEventHorizon: Roderick may well have crossed it before the film started when he (or his men) murdered the entire royal family to get the English throne. If that doesn't cut it, then he crossed it when he threatened to have Gwendolyn, his own daughter, killed if she did anything to prevent her own ArrangedMarriage to Griswold, which she was adamantly against in the first place.
