[4K] El Gran Maja - First Encounter

#thalassophobia #shortfilm #animation #subnautica #megalodon #pov
POV: You face El Gran Maja - The King of the Ocean
El Gran Majá (The Great Maja) is a hypothetical marine creature (likely inspired by Bloop) that was created by Borisao Blois. El Gran Majá has extremely long, sharp teeth, and its mouth is tucked back a little bit. It is observed to have 6 white, small eyes, and a huge mouth. This monstrous sea creature is 675 m (2214 ft) long, almost doubling the length of the Bloop.

[@Gutssssss666]

Realllll

[@TurtleShroom3]

There are several physical inaccuracies here. 1. The MOMENT the Gran Maja swiped its tail, that submarine should have shattered, not been smacked like a rag doll and then explode. What, is it made of Living Metal or something? Did God Himself seal its hull? Heck, if the Gran Maja swiped and _missed_ the submarine, if it was close enough to move the submarine, then the submarine would instantly have exploded from the water being moved like a high-pressure pump. 2. Every time the Gran Maja moved and especially when it turned around, the camera should shake violently. The ripples in the water would work like shock waves. If it moved that fast, when it turns tail and moves away from you in parallel, you should have died the moment its tail swished. 3. A creature that big shouldn't be able to move that fast, because it would take too much energy to press against the water, which pushes back with every kick due to its density. Have you ever seen a whale swim? It flaps its tale slowly and pushes itself it forward. Due to its big mouth, its aquatic aerodynamics (hydro-dynamics?) 4. I assume that this sucker is on an alien planet or lives at the bottom of the earth's ocean. If the Gran Maja _ever_ surfaced, it would cause tsunamis every time it surfaced because of the sheer displacement of water it makes when it moves. 5. The sense of scale is ridiculous at the end. The mouth of the the Gran Maja should be so big that it is nothing but an empty, black void. What you should have done was have the Gran Maja from far away and then get bigger until it blacks out the entire view. You should not be ale to see its teeth when it finally swallows you.

[@plugshirt1762]

I mean most of these can be discarded as it not trying to be realistic but yeah the sub hitting was pretty rough and the sense of scale at the end was really badly done. It was a cool video but definitely could use some work

[@Matthew-li7we]

​@@mrdeathbyzombies3704 Uhh, no we don't. Stop repeating that BS. I mean , JUST think about it. Most of what we know about the solar system is literally not even skin deep. On the other hand we have mapped all the oceans with sonar, regularly engage in mineral and resource excavation on the ocean floor(oil rigs for example), and constantly explore the bottom of the ocean with scientific vessels, and people REGULARLY explore the coasts and shallower parts of the Seas with SCUBA diving. We have catalogued countless species, we have listening posts that monitor the oceans at all times listening for strange sounds. The only areas we haven't studied extensively are the very deepest places, and that is only because the equipment to survive those depths is horrendously expensive, and even then we still know quite a bit. Take all that and compare it to a handful of moon rocks, two or so dozen landers, and a handful of spacecraft that have tested basic stuff such as the composition of atmospheres of certain planets, as well as a bunch of pictures.

Lost all sense of scale when it swallowed the viewer. When it decided it swallow us we'd see it's mouth approach and it's teeth too high to see. Just an approaching black void.

[@blueygooey8899]

After the sub and porthole were gone we defs lost scale, but the jaw thing ain't right The clarity of the water was established in the beginning where we could see the whole mouth. No reason for that to change a second later If you're saying that's how clear the water SHOULD HAVE been, then just watch a blue screen fade to black because that's the only part of this video you'd be able to see

[@ptboy18]

I agree. The comparison we see of the exploding sub compared to its mouth is like a sub looking at a huge building maja. The swallow pov looked like we were getting approached by a car size maja. Still terrifying but the mouth should have been just a colossal approach of darkness and partial teeth

[@Malidictus]

Something that big moving that fast would cavitate far worse than that submarine explosion.

[@AtheistNationalist]

Can you explain

[@Malidictus]

@@AtheistNationalist An object moving through a fluid will displace it, creating high pressure on the front and low pressure on the back. This effect is more pronounced the larger the object is and the faster it's moving. Drop pressure low enough, and water can boil, creating cavities. With enough force, water can be literally pulled apart, creating cavities of vacuum. This effect lasts only very briefly before water pressure collapses those cavities with tremendous amounts of energy. Something the size of El Gran Maja moving its tail at the speed of multiple sub lengths per second would absolutely cavitate the water behind it, causing massive shockwaves in its wake. It would need monstrously tough skin just to survive the damage caused by its own cavitation. Put it this way - have you seen videos of people breaking the bottoms off glass bottles by slapping the top? That's cavitation doing that. The slap moves the bottle down fast enough to create a cavity at the bottom. As the fluid on top comes down to collapse the cavity, it slams into the bottom with enough force to rip the glass off at the base.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

This looks cool, but the perspective looks really weird. The sub in the distance is presumably supposed to appear like it's far away, but it just ends up looking like a small toy much closer to the camera. Didn't even know it was a sub at first. I thought it was like a small fish, but then it explodes. Also, you would never see such a scene like this underwater, because underwater visibility is pretty poor. Under the best conditions, you'd probably be able to see about things at about 100 meters distance. I'd suggest having the scene closer to the camera. It would be easier to make out what is going on, and I think the monster would look scarier coming at of the fog all up in your face.
