listen yes I know by the movie's logic there's no possible way Spirit and Rain would have known each other as foals but just imagine... completely random childhood friends AU
Splash (1984). A young man is reunited with a mermaid who saved him from drowning as a boy. He falls in love with her, not knowing who or what she is.
As much as I love mermaid movies, this just hasn't aged well. It has its moments - largely due to the very charismatic cast - but the storyline is questionable at best. The born sexy yesterday trope is just simply not it. 5/10.
