[@Gloor5737]

Can not gan

[@SerenityScratch]

Jimin's Thighs ツ yea, they did train. In another video they also mentioned that each underwater scene isnt longer than 30 seconds. Of course it takes practice. Being underwater with a 14 kilo tail while acting and moving is seriously hard, even for 30 seconds. They definitely needed training for that, its not easy. But the scenes aren’t filmed more than 30 seconds, as they mentioned in other behind the scenes videos. I am guessing this is due to safety reasons and it is much harder to do dynamic breath holds than static ones.

[@SerenityScratch]

Jimin's Thighs ツ It’s not about filming, its about breath holding. I mentioned nothing about the filming process. I am aware that it would take longer than 30 seconds, obviously. But I was referring to their breath hold for each scene. They dont film more than 30 seconds underwater while holding their breath. Each breath and scene is no longer than 30 seconds.

[@astridbarzaghi5003]

In the show they keep referring to the young ones as hatchlings so mermaids are definitely born from eggs. I assumed that since mermen are clearly more rare than mermaids, you need a mermaid and a mermen to make a mermen (as in the case of Mimmi and Zac who are brother and sister) while mermaids on their own don’t need mermen to generate other mermaids. I used to think that they left their eggs in the moon pool and the moon did the rest but the show doesn’t give any evidence for that.

[@lauren.r29]

.....no me preferring mako

[@philiprivers669]

I actually prefer mako mermaids as a concept because there's a lot more options for where to take the show, for example the trident idea, and the merman chamber. You can't have that in H2O cause there are no mermen. And then on top of that, the idea of "real" mermaids opens up more possibilities for magic spells, more interesting and dangerous threats, and new ideas. I think H2O was the stronger show overall, and I agree that it was better written but Mako Mermaids is a lot more gripping, even if it does feel a bit more like something that stays in your childhood

[@somekindofflower2024]

​@@philiprivers669 I would say h2o is stronger because they didn't change that many actresses, but mako mermaids has better shots and editing. And I hate Zane.

7:17 it's explained in season 2, that Mermaids and Mermen have been at war for centuries. and they created that chamber (and the portal thing where Zac found the Trident later on in the series) long time ago as a way to combat the Mermaids. though, having a human male to become a Merman. i dunno how the fuck that is risky, since he doesn't even KNOW about the war.
