This short fleshes out the legend that is central to Brave's story and that is problem. On its own it fits too comfortably in as legend trodding over a well known path. But its bigger sin is the legend in Brave *didn't* need to be fatten up like this. The big beats of the story are perfectly clear from Brave's text. To see the fat is to rob the little mystery in Brave to keep it just a bit more legendary.
A good story sometimes only has suggestion and implication. This trend to tell every single thing in the 2010's in a series of connected media annoys me on that front.
