Theme of envy: As a descendent of Cain, Grendel is the biblical son of Adam and Eve, who out of jealousy kills his brother Abel (Genesis 4). He is eternally doomed. Grendel's response in envy to Heorot's light filled and happy celebrations. The scops "Song of Creation" reminds him of the loss he suffered because of Cain's sin and makes him angry and seek for revenge from him stemming envy.

Theme of revenge: The central theme of revenge serves as motivation to many characters. Grendel delights in revenging Heorot as he hates about other men success, glory, joy and favor in the eyes of god.

Grendel's mother avenges Heorot against her son's death, motivated by mother's fury.

Conspiracy theories were always irrational ideas without evidence that’s what a “theory” is so if you have proof you have to have the dates, witnesses, because anyone can fake a video or picture with the help of video editing. Though many people use the term debunk to infer that they have falsified an idea, over the years, it has become less rational an endeavor. Today many debunkers are actually pseudo-skeptics. Instead of considering an idea and trying to falsify it, many debunkers just assume science is on their side and instead try to a priori dismiss the idea, and worse to discredit the person who proposes the idea. That is not rational skepticism or critical thinking. Debunking isn’t always falsification or refutation but as often as not just name-calling and denial.
Answer

Since anything can be called a conspiracy theory, and since debunking can be achieved by put-downs and shaming; any idea you don’t like, you call a conspiracy theory and its proponent a conspiracist, and then contemptuously mock the idea and the person who advocates it. Easy-peezy-debunky-sleazy.
