The diver grabbed the octopus in a rough, ill-intentioned manner— it definitely seemed the octopus’s life was in danger so it did everything it could to fight back. I didn’t want the diver to die, but I wanted the octopus to live— the end of this is unclear so I hope the octopus got away

Idk, did you see that giant ball of fish he was carrying with him?

A skewer full of his friends 😭

Omg! That episode of "The Boys" where The Deep is forced to eat his Octopus friend/sometimes hook up comes to mind. He can talk to all the sea creatures too, so he was like, "he's begging for his life! 😖 Please don't make me! 😢 He has kids! 😫 He's praying! 😭 "

I think that octopus saw that episode, too! He knew what time it was! Lol

Ok this is messed up of me but knowing it was fake helped me cackle at that part so freaking hard 😂😂😂 like i swear I'm not soulless and it was pretty effed up what he was made to do but my god did the actor deliver the scene so well lol

u/WishfulBee03 27d ago

I could not stomach that scene at all, I've watched the goriest horror movies you can imagine without a problem but that scene broke me! Same when he leaves Ambrosia to suffocate after smashing her tank :(

Animal cruelty just is different than gory mess made of humans. It's like watching a guy being waterboarded, sure it's fiction but the thought of it makes it a bit painful.

u/Insomnsdreme0905 27d ago

Can't even argue with you. It was so painful to watch. It being fiction did help, but i think it's still so clear in my mind bc of how disturbing it was to me.

The elderly, children, and animals. Those are my main triggers. Special place in hell for people who take advantage of those that rarely get a voice.

u/GamerKormai 24d ago

I literally stopped watching The Boys after that scene and have not watched anything since then. I just could not do it.

u/justsomeplainmeadows 26d ago

I'm sorry. He would hook up with the octopus?

1

u/Insomnsdreme0905 25d ago

Lol it was mostly a mutual masturbation thing (or so I hope 😖) though there is this 1 scene where he's having sex with his wife but making intense sustained direct eye contact with the Octopus that was inside the aquarium headboard in their room.

They definitely had some kind of thing going on.

u/AUnknownVariable 24d ago

Anyone who doesn't know shit about the Boys is probably like "wtf". There's a lot of that

u/Ssesamee 25d ago

Bro I started dying laughing when he said “he’s praying!” as he slowly was getting coaxed into eating it. What normally would be a fucked up scene was turned into some of the funniest shit I’ve watched on tv. The dialogue is so good.

u/IcyElk42 27d ago

A recent study showed that fish and octopi sometimes cooperate

As crazy as that sounds

u/justsmilenow 27d ago

You see how he got the octopus off because it stopped fighting. Why do you think it stopped fighting? Option A. He crushed something of vital importance inside the body of the octopus causing it to die. Option b. When he poked it, he caused vital damage that took a couple seconds of struggling to kill it.

I have absolutely no faith in option b.

u/Cac933 24d ago

I keep seeing this video and wish it were nsfw. That poor octopus is struggling so hard and clearly dies after being crushed.

1

u/Ready_Bandicoot1567 27d ago

yea this is actually a fairly normal thing to happen if you're spearfishing for octopus. You just go to the surface and deal with it. Normally you want to stab or crush their brain as quickly as possible.

u/No-Environment-7899 26d ago

☹️ leave the octopi alone

1

u/QueezyF 24d ago

I’ve seen it where in Hawaii they’ll bite where the brainstem is.

u/TV-- 27d ago

There is also another dead octopus on that stick.

u/ForgetfulCumslut 27d ago

I think the dude wants to eat the octopus

14

u/darwin604 27d ago

He does. He's got a couple on his skewer already. He's fishing.

5

u/Ready_Bandicoot1567 27d ago

yup this is a pretty normal video of a person spearfishing for octopus. They do this.

1

u/a_crazy_diamond 24d ago

I know I shouldn't pick and choose but I just can't bring myself to eat octopus. I have eaten it at least once in my lifetime but I just can't anymore

17

u/justsmilenow 27d ago

The octopus died. That's how he got it off of him.

1

u/Outside-Dependent-90 26d ago

😢 that's just so incredibly sad.

u/BusySleep9160 27d ago

Ikr!!! Tugging at its head. What a jackass

17

u/Upset_Ant2834 27d ago

I mean he was originally hunting it. He's not gonna suddenly care about it's well-being

He's holding its beak away from his neck.

If an octopus takes a bite out of your neck in the wrong spot you're not going home.

An octopus that size can probably only take a chunk out of you the size of a quarter, but that's enough on the arteries of your neck.

You don't want that beak anywhere near you.

u/drillbit56 27d ago

Don’t corner a wild animal. They spend their entire existence avoiding predators and will fight you to the death. This octopus was nice and let this guy get away. He could have easily choked and drowned this guy.

4

u/Random_Name_Whoa 26d ago

Umm, nah it didn’t let the guy get away. It died

1

u/out_for_blood 25d ago

Lol what, the video ended because he totally killed the octopus. Notice the ball of other fish he has, and that he didn't immediately throw it away

1

u/DrAniB20 24d ago

The octopus died at the end. It didn’t “let the guy get away”, he killed it.

1

u/KououinHyouma 24d ago

He’s hunting it, he’s literally there to corner and kill it…

-1

u/bananakittymeow 25d ago

Hopefully he bite the guy first. Not sure what species this is, but fun fact: all octopuses are venomous, so no octopus bite is going to be very fun to deal with in the aftermath.

u/Ambitious_Trifle_645 26d ago

I wish the octopus would have won. Fuck that guy

1

u/Opposite-Grab9733 25d ago

I kind of wanted the diver to die, ngl

1

u/DrAniB20 24d ago

You’re a better person than me. I wanted the octopus to win and didn’t care about the diver. Unfortunately I didn’t get my wish about the octopus.

Reads like that little weirdo kid from the Simpsons lol
