After the initial Grizzly attack he did take some damage, but I felt like he should have just played dead until the bear gathered her cubs and left or backup came. It seems like he took much more damage after the second including the neck area.

I thought the same thing, "Don't move, play dead!"
Perhaps, as a professional trapper/hunter, Glass thought he would be capable to take it down more readily than occurred. On the other hand, the direction gives us an extended violent attack for cinematic purposes. In real-life, Glass was attacked by a grizzly bear, but there is no mention of how he ended up fighting for his life: one, two, or three rounds?
Either way, his survival after the attack and being left for dead are stuff of legend. Hence the film. In real life, Glass caught up to Fitzgerald and the younger Bridger - to their amazement and shame, as you can imagine. Glass forgave them and the three moved on, as there was never a murder of a son named Hawk...that storyline was fabricated for the film's conflict and revenge theme. No one knows if Glass had offspring. In fact, there is no record of a wife, but as a trapper he may have been given one during trade relations.

Because she was coming back to finish the job. Cubs gotta eat...
shareWhat guarantee did he have that the bear would leave him alone? I must say I felt sorry for the bear who seemed only trying to protect her cubs. She wasn't attacking when he shot her. I just have a soft spot for animals, especially furballs.
shareI felt sorry for her, too. Then her little cubs were left on their own, likely to perish from trappers, nonhuman predators or the elements. They were just babies. :-(
