Other kids
I wonder what happened to the other kids? Hopefully they were all ok and as used to living in the forest built a new home and jaguar paw and family found them :) nice thought eh!?

shareThe real question is why did they not return to the village after the raid? It was the only home they knew so it makes no sense for them not to return. Oddly enough, a vital part of the plot depends on this hole in logic. If they returned, they would have found Jaguar's wife and managed some way of getting her out. But if they had done that, the tension and suspense of Jaguar racing back home would be gone.

The real question is why did they not return to the village after the raid?
I kept hoping that the little kids would hold on until Jaguar's Paw made it back. Then all of them would go deeper into the forests and start a new village. Maybe not realistic, but it still would have been nice. :)
shareBut the thing is they didn't know if Jaguar Paw was gonna survive and come back.
shareI too wondered what happened to the kids. I don't think they went back to the village or they would have found the lady in the hole. It's morbid to say but unless Jaguar Paw found them after the end of the movie, they probably died. They were children, and half of them appeared to be very young children at that. The older girl probably only knew how to gather plants..possibly prepare an animal for cooking but none of them knew how to hunt.

Remember the "here come the Spaniards" scene at the end? If any kids did survive it's forced baptisms and conversions, new names and welcome to slavery.

"...at least they went to Heaven.." Well there is that, Harold. Wait a minute.. ( or as the Mayans used to say, 'hold back that Long Count Period')
If you're forcefully baptized and converted by force, would you be forced to go to heaven?

".."Tree Flower" - the *ZIP* down the Hell ." But wouldn't Tree Flower go to some other paradise? There was a movie, Green Hell, about Inca treasures, logically there is a Green Heaven for all the right living pagan heathens? (To the pagans the Spaniards were the heathens. Or is it to the heathens they were the pagans?) I dunno if there are separate Green Heavens for Incas and Mayans and Aztecs and such.

Another question regarding this. What happened to his fellow tribesmen?
shareThey all ended up sold into slavery, or dead. The only people the Aztecs left alive from that village were the children and the elderly. Jaguar Paw would surely have been in the dead category if not for the Sun God sending him his rescue. The women were sold off like they showed with the one lady there and that's pretty much that. Sad but that is how it was
