Critics dont like Meg 2: The Trench because they have no fucking whimsy

Can't a movie just be fun anymore? Cant you just sit and enjoy the action hero being silly and fighting sharks and evil corporations to save the planet? Isnt fun to watch a giant octopus grab people? Or sharks go nom nom? Dont you want to watch dinosaurs fight and then eat a billionaire?

Come on. Find your fucking whimsy and enjoy silly shark movie

In psychology they call that cognitive dissonance. In the real world they call it parenting.

Ummm was that a dinosaur I spotted in those Meg II gifs??? At first I thought it might have been a crocodile but after absolutely no scrutiny I was like: dinosaur.

I might need to actually watch this. Do I need to watch Meg I for it to make sense? Even if I don’t should I watch them both anyway? I’m not going to lie those gifs make it look incredible…

That is, in fact, a dinosaur because Meg 2 was like: well what's better than a seventy-foot shark? And the answer was watching a seventy-foot shark eat a Tyrannosaurus Rex. And they were right.

Yes, you 100% need to watch this and join me in my delusional fantasies - I have now watched this three times in three days, dialogue skeletoned a 5+1 fic and need to find time to watch it yet again so I can make sure my gestures and content are pitch perfect.

You do not need to watch Meg the first for this to make sense, it will just deepen your affection for the legacy characters, which is never a bad. Plus, there are a few callbacks (that make it more of a gay underwater romance) that I missed the first time I watched it (which obviously did not hinder my enjoyment) and on day two, I watched both back to back and caught them. (3.5. This is a movie about sharks eating dinosaurs, underwater research bases, giant carnivorous octopi, Fun Island, and two dads coparenting a teenager who can run circles around them - so just to note: it also does not need to make sense.)

That said, I absolutely recommend watching Meg the first. It was a hoot and it makes Meg the second more fun because once you start off that strong, you have to go wackier, right? Once you get to two, you're like: okay, I know why we are at this level of wacky and you have my stamp of approval.

It is, in fact, incredible. JOMING 5EVA (I gave them a ship name, I think I can do that when - at least last I looked, which admittedly was last week - I've got the only fic going [granted, it is unposted but nOT FOR LONG] and there are less than ten of us, haha.)

Meg 3 should just be Jonas and Jiuming falling in love while Meiying parent traps them. Also they’re saving the ocean and making the megs a protected species.

Happy to report The Meg 2 is just as ridiculous and fun as the original, but unfortunately I will be demanding a refund because Jason Statham didn't take his shirt off once

Guys there is a Meg 2 movie and it is So Bad. I'm like a quarter of the way through.

I saw Meg 2: The Trench last night

And can I just say, it was absolutely my favorite movie of the year!

Imagine my surprise when the silly shark movie turned out to be about Jason Statham being an Eco Warrior trying to save the planet.

In the first movie, he's the best diver on the planet. But in this one? Eco Warrior James Bond going on reckless missions to stop illegal waste dumping and go on cool scientific dive missions to explore the ocean.

Also! The opening scene and all the Meg/dinosaur scenes were so cool! Makes me want more dinosaur movies. Also. Megs! Are! So! Cool!

The movie was so silly and fun. It was like smooshing together an action adventure with an ocean horror and throwing in some spy shit.

I could watch 5 more of these.

Like, if they did more. What other action hero Eco Warrior shit is Jason gonna do? Clean up trash in the Pacific? Save Polar Bears? Kill guys who cut down the rainforest? I hope so!

If you can. Please watch the Meg 2! Its so much fun!

(Also, no spoilers. But it really seemed like the two old men were in love. That girl has two dads.)

Any last thoughts on our plan?

Wu Jing takes on Yu Cheng-Hui in the 2002 Chinese drama, Shaolin King of Martial Arts.

And yes, the Shaolin monk in this clip (Wu Jing) is the same guy from the upcoming, The Meg 2: The Trench.

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

How to Get Married without a Single Date | Meg 2 | Jiuming/Jonas | 5.2k

The quake of a rough pocket of air is probably all that could’ve gotten Jonas to open his eyes after the day he’s had.

2. Odyssey of Memory | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 1.8k

The quip comes back to him as Derek steps out onto the porch, held together by wood glue and a collapsing, sliding sort of faith.

3. A Fine Foray into Fashionable Fellatio | Harry Potter | Ron/Draco | 31.6k

Shouts burst from an open door across the street.

4. He Speaks in Petals | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 4.7k

Light falls in soft swathes through the grimy, open windows of Derek’s loft, the scent of cold air mingling with stale coffee.

5. Reciprocal Determinism | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 4.2k

“We’re going to have to decide what to do,” Scott says, throaty, uncomfortable with what he’s potentially co-signing.

6. Sinking and Surfacing | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 9.5k

Derek scrapes a knuckle against the bristle on his jaw and waits out the light.

7. Anchor's Away | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 2.5k

The blood sticks.

8. Hibernation Station | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 72.9k

Stiles meets his future husband on a rather unspectacular Wednesday.

9. Sevens and Eights | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 10k

Stiles has a bandage slung under his chin like a disembodied helmet strap when Derek first meets him.

10. Stopgap | Teen Wolf | Stiles/Derek | 6k

The heavy rain from earlier in the afternoon has transformed the unspoiled banks of snow into an unappealing slush of gray and gravel, and left the sky unhelpfully darker than the hour would suggest.
