[@hebamalik_]

Love how he's not only critiquing the movies, but also giving survival tips

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

How was it realistic that bear didn’t catch him running? The bear was so close and they run so fast, you can’t outrun them unless you go to a car next to you or something. And running triggers predators instincts so it’s bad move.

[@adamya1639]

he had a lot of obstacles in his way and bears are very heavy though they are fast they don't have the greatest of acceleration and he could twist and turn a little and he did not have to go very far plus that strategy of scaring them only works if they are not hungry if they are hungry then they WILL eat you.

[@adamya1639]

Cherian Philip hmm. Good point.

[@CptAngelKGaming]

You can kinda believe it if you consider all the trees the bear had to break through because it didn't fit. In reality though it would prolly have caught him but there is no guarantee so it's not that bad.

[@Peter_Cordes]

@@adamya1639 - There was a good while before he got to the trees; notice the bear isn't even gaining on him as they cross the log. Les Stroud broke down the same scene and pointed out that grizzlys are *fast* when they're not just jogging (like this trained bear was told to) and would definitely catch you over that distance. Also that throwing burning logs would probably result in them going out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnTUqIdogtZ_rqs was one of the 2 parts that Les did which I watched recently, might be in that or the other part.

[@adamya1639]

@@Peter_Cordes I’m pretty sure this bear was just cgi

[@rivertobias3864]

One thing I have to disagree on, as someone who lives in Alaska and has experience with bears, that bear would have caught up to him in seconds. Even on a bike it’s difficult to outrun a bear, they may look slow but for short periods they can run incredibly fast.

[@UIAL570]

I think Bear meant realistic in that a bear would chase you in those circumstances and fire would possibly keep them at bay. Bears are so fast it’s hard to believe Anthony would have had the speed to outrun him even to a fire pit. The bear itself and fire are what’s realistic

[@MrTigracho]

Yeah. I have seen black bears be able to climb trees as if they were spiderman.

[@slurp3194]

Yeah bears are fast but humans can be fast too considering the distance and obstacles. Well yes is it unlikely that he escapes somewhat. But it is a dense forest probably the best chances u have against a Bear

[@32VN0]

Yes. I was surprised that he didn’t mention anything about how fast a bear would run in real life!

[@beslanderin5229]

Instead of realistic versus unrealistic , I wish the final result was a rating of realism. 0 not at all realistic 10 completely realistic. Each clip (in both parts) has a bit of movie magic and a bit of realism.

[@truter5243]

My top tip. Learn some good traps and places to find small animals and rodents. That will be the difference between eating meat or grubs in a survival situation. And go for MAX damage/carnage with your traps. You don't want to fight an injured animal.

[@franknberry6397]

In "The Grey" it is a pack that hunts them. Neeson's character wanders into the wolf's den in that scene. So I wonder what the Realistic grade is?

[@ay9748]

“If you do pull it out eat it though“ An eye for an eye, but would that be self cannibalism？

[@trevorvallo5841]

If its foreign to the body, it's not. In this scene where he's pulling out the larvae, it's not cannibalism. You could argue that its covered in his blood. But the main thing is that worm

When you get it out, eat it. Classic Bear. :D

watch the recent season of Alone (just ended not long ago). one of the contestants (Roland) did land a big game and had to deal with scavengers and also having to carry all that meat on hour long hikes back to camp then another hour out again. sufficed to say, what he lands and what he ends up safely back in camp are 2 wildly different numbers. still, dude was badass.

7:10 - OOOOOOOHHHHHHH MY GUUUUUHHHHHDDDDD!! NO WAAAAY!!! 😱😱😱🤢🤢🤢😭😭😭

[@TheGreyPilgrim28]

Yeah, so it's obvious Bear was not made to watch these films. In 'The Grey', what we are seeing is the final scene of the film. Throughout, survivors of a plane crash are in fact hunted by a pack of timber wolves in the Alaskan wilderness. It is not one wolf hunting our characters rogue-like.

[@cuptanp.r.2229]

thats exactly the comment i was looking for, a bit shame they only showed the last scene, i was rather curious about earlier fragments

[@CptAngelKGaming]

Not only was the whole movie rediculous but the wolf would never do this 1v1 staredown final boss fight b/s. It would just run away it's too much risk with no reward(we're not very good food). So even if you wanna argue it made more sense until that point(it didn't), the scene he watched was still b/s
