Now imagine the Joss Whedon version where the camera pans to Stockton Rush as he says "well, that's not supposed to happen" right before it implodes
Stockton: "Well, that's not supposed to happen..."
Crew #1: "What is supposed to happen?"
Stockton: "Not that!"
Crew #2 : rolls their eyes "Good talk."
Crew #1: "No it wasn't!"
the camera zooms out of the sub through the porthole, and pans around to a side angle
for a split second, you see the sub rapidly start to decompress but it immediately hard cut transitions to Guillermo Söhnlein crushing a can of beer on his forehead
I don't know who that is but lol
he's the other co-founder of oceangate that left in 2013 lmao
Oh lol
Stockton: "This dive is about to get very interesting"
Passenger: "Define interesting"
Stockton: "Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die..."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are having a little trouble with our re-surface sequence, so we may experience a little turbulence and then, uh, implode."
I know the show and wheedon are problematic but I fucking love that scene.
"Just get us on the ground"
"That part will happen pretty definitely"
"Are we exploding? I don't wanna explode."
totally. people shit on the guy and the show/movie, but it was clever and let its cast shine through their characters. in a world where 80% of media is skullsplittingly dull and stupid, it was a solid ass franchise.
Alan Tudyk is an extremely rare and often underutilized talent. Nathan Fillon can make my eyes watery and put a lump in chest seemingly without any effort, but also plays the "smart mouth / dumb where it counts" sandbagging bushwhacker so well, it's like he reinvented the archetype.
alternatively we hear "well, that's not supposed to happen" in the background as the camera slowly zooms in on the pilot looking at the audience like Jim from the Office
i bet you could make a The Office style mockumentary detailing the building and launch of the sub and then that's how you end the series right there
