It might explain why they set up all these non-oceangoing characters and then dropped them partway through.</p><p><a href="https://octodon.social/tags/monsterdon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monsterdon</span></a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/tentacles1977" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tentacles1977</span></a></p>

Floaty Birb<p>In conclusion, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tentacles1977" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tentacles1977</span></a> was weird, and now I want to watch an aquatic version of the X-Philes that centers on the mysteries of the sea and relies on whales to resolve most of the story problems.</p><p>Anyway, thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://octodon.social/@Taweret" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Taweret</span></a></span> for hosting another <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monsterdon</span></a> !</p>

Floaty Birb<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Monsterdon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monsterdon</span></a> I am completely confused how to rate <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tentacles1977" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tentacles1977</span></a>.</p><p>On the one hand, it was mostly boring, but on the other hand, it was super weird. I want to give it 5/5 octopies for having toy boats, a surprise orca thruple, a whale based resolution, a giant hat, and heeding the call of the sea. But I guess instead I'll give it only 3/5 octopies because it was kind of bad, but not so bad that the weirdness didn't kind of redeem it?</p>

But not like, Chopping Mall good, just like... so weird its kind of just barely good.</p>
Floaty Birb<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tentacles1977" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tentacles1977</span></a> Perhaps the strangest <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monsterdon</span></a> fight scene, as the Octopus tries to escape into a cave, but can't because an Orca keeps biting it and chasing it into the hole. It responds to getting eaten by screaming.</p><p>Meanwhile the two humans ascend, one guy carrying the other guy (who lost his breath mask) to safety.</p>

For they did not fuck into the sea for good, but rather fucked into the sea temporarily, to deal a surprise nose battering attack on our Octopodal Enemy!</p><p>At least I think that's what's happening... its really blurry so I can't quite tell what is going on. Anyway, the epic fight music is turned up to 42.</p>

I give this coral reef 8/10; seems like a cool place.</p>

Which I guess diving suits are just ocean armor. They have knives and harpoon guns to fight the octopus with, which is probably not the worst choice.</p>

We observe our killer whale pals fucking off into the sea, which i guess I can't blame them.</p>

Curly Hair Guy is on the sailboat, with the grim resolve to vanquish the evil Octopus.</p><p>This movie decides that the plural of Octopus is "Octopi", instead of "Octopuses", "Octopodes", "Octopussies" or any of the other equally acceptable alternatives (according to me).</p><p>Anyway, we have an existential discussion about how Cephalopods thirst for blood.</p>
