I’m sorry, but with everything I’ve read about this Titanic submarine accident the only thing I can say is, you know, there is tempting fate and then there’s ..... this.

rule

“Hubris”

With that much money why couldn't you charter a regular submarine. Get PADI certification. Watch a live feed from one of those underwater robots that have been down there hundreds of times already?? Why did you LARP Iron Lung in 2023. Even down to the "being welded into your thinly veiled underwater coffin with limited equipment". The cheap Logitech controller with the 3d printed joystick caps. I can't. Why did you go *smiling* into the abyss

Leo Valdez driving the Argo II with a Wiimote singlehandedly predicted that stupid Logitech-driven submarine.

Theres a OATC ep called Rock Bottom and...uh...

It either aged really well or really poorly.

 I like Titanic II way more than the original, honestly. 

The stuff about “women and children first” was clearly dated, so they only involved adult men. Too many clearly innocent people were killed in the first one, but the second really boiled it down to only people involved in the hubris that led to the disaster. 

I’m not normally a James Cameron fan, but I do think they should have welcomed his involvement in this project a little sooner: this is a rare case where he could have reduced a budget (as the leading expert in exploring the Titanic for no scientific reason, he realized from the start that the search radius would be very small). 

I also enjoyed the new supernatural element of “banging sounds”. Unquiet dead angered by the renewed hubris of the tourist submarine? Ghosts of the billionaires pleading for aid? I like the ambiguity.

My absolute favorite part was the callback to the original “unsinkable” quote, where Stockton Rush called his submarine “pretty much invulnerable”. 

My two cents on the submarine situations:

Is death sad? Yes absolutely the loss of any life is an L moment

Are the billionaires in the sub 1000% to blame for their potential deaths? Also yes and therefore you can't really blame us for finding it a bit funny

It's kinda like the Christian guy who went to some indigenous islands trying to convert the people only to scare them into thinking he would hurt the children and getting shot with arrows

The ocean is really going to war with billionaires rn

First the orcas coming for their yachts and now Titanics ghosts are taking a swing?

Damm bro so they’re acc gonna die at 7:30 tomorrow morning

Sure, I COULD just look up the story about the submarine meant to explore the Titanic wreck, but putting it together from scattered tumblr posts, each talking about a different aspect of what happened, like an adventure game protagonist is much more fun.
