Needs references

[edit]

The information below needs to be sourced before being restored back into the article. -Classicfilms 15:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once you have added a source to one of the games below, please move the game to the bottom section and note that it has been sourced and restored. -Classicfilms (talk) 15:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding this:

  • 1979, 1986 and 1992 Alien Aliens and Alien 3: The original Alien Trilogy is a post modern retelling of the Beowulf story.[citation needed] The Xenomorph in Alien is defeated by Ripley's cunning and represents Grendel (in the novel that was adapted from the screenplay, the creature even loses an arm, but regenerates it), the alien Queen in Aliens represents Grendel's Mother and is destroyed by technology, much like Beowulf using the Magic Sword and the Xenomorph in 3 is representative of the dragon, Beowulf's third and final fight. Ripley even dies at the end of the third movie, much akin to Beowulf's own death.

Probably original research, but the idea amuses me enough that if there are sources (even if one of us has to submit something to a peer-reviewed journal for someone else to cite), it'd make a great addition. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More references needed

[edit]

These were removed from the Beowulf article. They also need references. -Classicfilms 17:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


A character loosely based on Beowulf, sharing the same name, is also a playable character in the Playstation 1 game "Final Fantasy Tactics" and the remake PlayStation Portable (psp) game "Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War". This is ironic, as the character is in love with a dragon, and the legendary Beowulf was mortally wounded by one.

Beowulf appears in Spartan: Total Warrior as a Danish warrior.

Another unsourced game. Restore to the main article if provide a reference. -Classicfilms 18:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Beowulf is the name of a major enemy in Capcom's Devil May Cry 3, as well as the name of a pair of gauntlets and boots, usable by the main character Dante upon finding them some time after defeating Beowulf.

List of games restored after sources added

[edit]
Found one that might pass sorceing guidelines, a profile on the official site for the game [2] (last one) --70.152.16.154 03:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
These seem fine to me. Why don't you add this game to the main article and offer both references. Thanks for checking. -Classicfilms 17:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This was sourced and restored to the main article. -Classicfilms (talk) 15:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Literature

[edit]

Wouldn't it be fair to say that Christopher Paolini was influenced by Beowulf in his Inheritance Cycle seeming that the king of the dwarves is named Hrothgar? --15lsoucy (talk) 03:54, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beowulf and Vikings

[edit]

I believe the TV series Vikings features the writer of Beowulf.
