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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

A recent study showed that fish and octopi sometimes cooperate

As crazy as that sounds

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.

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

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.

☹️ leave the octopi alone

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

There is also another dead octopus on that stick.
