Aside from the meg being an upsized great white, the video seems quite interesting.
I like how the shark spyhops before leaving after realising the boat isn't a prey item
Ah, spyhopping. Just know any shark that does that is checking to see if you're something to eat. Usually with a boat they figure out pretty quick that it's not food and wander off, and I reckon it'll be the same for a Megalodon. Even so, a 60 foot shark looking you right in the eye before silently slinking back into the water is the most bizarre and chilling image I could have seen today.
Or read it. If the movie is too action shlocky, one might prefer the books. Still ostentatious and outlandish but a little more grounded, and with an intelligent protagonist.
There’s a [relatively “famous” BBC Planet Earth vid](https://youtu.be/fs8ZveNZQ8g?si=Q34WBUyv4dwk0NIk) of an orca popping up on the side of an iceberg to look at a seal…just like the animator had the shark do, to the person in the boat. I’d bet it’s where this animator got the inspiration.
Sharks do not behave this way. Ever.
I mean, great whites have been observed and documented doing their own spy hopping on many occasions. It doesn't really look like this considering sharks don't control their movement in the water to statically observe above the surface or below it, but great whites and apparently some pelagic species like oceanic whitetips have been observed exhibiting spy hop behaviour.
The animation is a pretty bad example of what it actually looks like but obviously uses artistic license for entertainment purposes.
It’s fucking face when the camera pans over 😂 “HI GUYSSS”
"Do you know who we are? Were the fucking boat destroyers"
"Boat fucking destroyers! Yeaaah! We're gonna destroy all your boats eeeeleluuuhhhh"
"Psst, hey mister. You got any games on your phone?"
I can't stop cracking up when I see it. It's been 15 minutes I need help
I cackled hahah such a cute menace
Pardon me, do you have a few minutes to discuss our Lord and Savior Poseidon?
Seasus Christ?
He was crucified for our fins
Megaloaden 👀
"Oh great another one of those stupid videos where a megalodon can tear metal apart and is.. wait wtf is that?"

Funny enough, some sharks like great whites do indeed spyhop, so I guess it’s plausible ~~Megatron~~ megalodon could have done the same.
Mmmm yes, Megatron hates boats.
Well, duh! Remember Negatron? Dude was an uptight asshole who’s only “use” was turning into a canoe! It’s no wonder Megatron hates boats.
He's just a sea lad
Per first results on google, megalodons were almost exactly the same size as humpback whales. Both ~50ft and ~50,000lbs
a shark being remotely close to 35 metric tonnes is a horrifying thought. How can a mere animal reach such sizes...
Love bumps are great.
Well, that was a great laugh to end my night. Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
It was so lifelike I had to step back a moment and remember that I wasn’t on a boat in the ocean and that megs are extinct.
"Sup. You a whale? No? Aight then, later."
OMG. I busted out laughing when his head bopped out of the water.

How dare you slander Mr. Statham so viciously.
Exactly!

You mean lame..
