    You have prompted a great idea. We should make a dual documentary that intersects at the final scene. Documentary 1 follows the stingrays. Documentary 2 follows the whales. The ending scene of each documentary is the exact same.

      A documentary following a food chain. Each time something gets eaten the narrator is just “well, i guess this is a _____ documentary now.” And resumes as if it were always about the current animal.

          Side note: I still have to skip past the walrus part of Planet Earth. I will ugly cry for an hour or more, and it will ruin my day. I’ve handled a lot of traumatic situations with stoic resolve, but for whatever reason, I cannot compartmentalize the walrus tragedy.

            I need to watch Planet Earth again, thanks for reminding me.

              Turns out I was referring to “Our Planet.” We have “Planet Earth,” “Blue Planet,” and “Our Planet” playing so frequently that I get them confused. Do not watch the walrus scene. Nobody needs to see that to know that we have to do a better job of environmental stewardship.

                Cool, I was wondering why I couldn’t remember a traumatic walrus scene 😂 I’ll skip Our Planet, and if Blue is the one that goes deep in our oceans that’s on the watchlist too

    I feel this so much in the film Happy Feet. Seals are cute. But in Happy Feet, they’re beady-eyed bloodthirsty monsters.

      That scene where he eats the live octopus whilst castrating himself? Yeah, plus the way he kept hitting on the students and then when he gaslit that parent into taking the fall for all those murders. Messed up show. I know exactly what you mean
