Well that's my story.

I hope the monster is Tuunbaq's son.

That felt more correct, to me, than the book version where she loses all agency and just becomes Crozier�s trophy wife.

Marrying Crozier was her agency.

I find myself liking the book a lot more in regard to what the bear is and how the story goes.
(Even stuff like how in the book it is kind of realized that the bear seems to target officers from Caesar's boat.)

To this day I am not at all certain how the bear was killed in the TV version.

Well the book mentions the prophecy that the coming of the white men will destroy the world of the Inuits in time. The ice will melt, the animals will die, etc. I don't remember what it said about the fate of the Tuunbaq specifically, but I took his death in the show as a way of highlighting the immediacy of the effect of the coming of the white men. Sort of contemporising it. The white men are here. The world is changing. The ice is already melting.

So basically akin to Goldblum giving the aliens a virus in Independence Day?
Bleh.

Tupac caused ice to grow increasingly southward so it could travel there to eat all of the animals and men (in the book). The shaman made a deal with the bear to stop doing that. I don't think it targeted white men specifically, but rather non-shaman and those not protected by them. It was free to eat whatever walked into the territory set aside for it.

He may not be targeting white people but the coming of the white people signal the end of their world.

I found the text:

More or less what I remembered, except it does explicitly say this will follow the Tuunbaq's death.

One thing I liked about the first season was how it could have easily stood alone without supernatural elements. Disappointing to hear this season leans into that side more but I'll still give it a chance.
