A burly warrior type fights mythical creatures with a weapon on the end of a chain, they're really cross about their wife who died off-screen and he killed her but managed to convince himself that some magical deity-like thing is actually responsible, when all it did was point him vaguely in the direction and give him a gentle slap on the bum to get him going, then at the end of it he gets to become a magical deity-like thing himself, and spend the rest of time sitting on a throne looking like a Lifetime movie about the importance of a happy marriage just came on the TV but he can't be bothered to get up and turn it off.
