    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.

              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.
