      @@abdgotchillsWell…just lemme put it into perspective by comparing this with the first John Wick.
      They’re both movies primarily focused around mindless action
      They both have fairly simplistic characters and plots.
      But somehow this movie has a budget nearly 8 times that of John Wick.
      And before someone mentions it. Yes, I know this movie requires much more CGI than John Wick so it isn’t really a fair comparison but my point still stands

    I haven't seen this film, but I do like that this film subverts both the ex-wives tropes. Usually in films, the ex-wife is either an awful person or a love interest that the hero wins back. Here, she's neither and even encourages her ex when he finds someone new.

    • @shockwavethedog
      @shockwavethedog Місяць тому +3

      The Meg is a massive animal that needs tons of calories to survive each day. Not getting enough food and being out competed by Great Whites is what killed off the Meg millions of years ago when the oceans began to cool. Plus the Meg is warm blooded. It needs to eat more when it gets colder since its body will use energy to keep itself warm. The Meg in this film, more than likely, is feeling the affects of having traveled through miles of cold and deep ocean to reach the surface, hence the continuous carnage and eating.
