Hrothgar intends to reward Beowulf with many valuable gifts. This reflects the concept of not having any debt with those who did something for you.
Explanation:
Beowulf is an Anglo-Saxon epic poem that reflects various values of Anglo-Saxon culture. We can see one of these values when Hrothgar, the king of Denmark, rewards Beowulf with numerous valuable gifts, after Beowulf manages to free his people from all the evils of the showy Grendel, freeing the people even from Grendel's mother, who could take revenge.
Hrothgar offers these gifts as a way of not keeping a debt with Beowulf, besides thanking him for his achievements.
However is a transitional word of contrast; it correctly shows the relationship between the independent clauses in the sentence. The first clause contrasts 'most action-packed movies' that the person enjoyed with 'some recent disappointments' in the second clause.
Odysseus checks their loyalty to him then shows them the scar on his foot to prove that it is him, he then promises to treat them as Telemachus' (his son) if they fight by his side.
