Shark Scientist Reacts to 'Under Paris' (Movie Commentary & Reaction)

[@SHARKBYTES]

Big thanks to Netflix for trying their utmost to destroy this movie commentary. Not to bore you all, but I’ve spent the last 2 weeks fighting with the pesky fat cats at Netflix, who have repeatedly and manually tried to completely block this video from being watched: worldwide - not even just demonetisation! What you are watching is the 8th version of the original video I wanted you all to see. I’m not quite sure why they’ve decided to do it, considering there are a few other movie commentaries of ‘Under Paris’ up on KZbin, of which have used considerably more of the movie footage than I did. As to why they were manually blocking it, instead of using the automated system, I do wonder if they weren’t particularly happy with my scathing review of the science - but that’s speculation. TL;DR - sorry my silly face is blocking out most of the film, I still wanted you guys to be able to watch what I had made for you - Enjoy! 🦈

[@Seamemaria]

Holy cow, you made it to Netflix's black list. I'd say that is some kind of accomplishment, especially as they don't appreciate scientific accuracy it seems. Sorry you had to hustle to get this through though.

[@benjaminbatema6963]

Netflix should apologize for blatantly attempting to blacklist you. Your video is the best advertising for this hilarious shark comedy they could have ever had, advertising they desperately need. They should thank you instead. Keep up the great work!

[@ChristineSaveTheFish]

They should be happy to get free advertising 😂

[@Firebuck]

Crazy if what they care about is the science critique... I'm pretty sure people don't watch a movie like this for science. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks like a lot more fun than I expected.

[@cruel_brittania]

That's bonkers! You deserve an 'I fought Netflix and I won' badge for all your hard work, and I thank you, it was a really good video. I would assume that it was that they didn't like you debunking their 'science' as if they had done any sort of scientific research for it. If it was a documentary and they had researchers and you were debating their research, okay, fight for that, but come on! It's like an astronaut debunking 'Space Balls.' No one is watching it for the science.

The fact that the sharks win in the end takes this from a 1/10 to a solid 1.5/10

[@turk914]

I think you've got to add another full point for the fact this wasn't a Great White shark. At least they went with a different species for once. But honestly, it might be completely ludicrous, but it was well shot and fun. Best Shark movie since probably The Reef.

⁠​⁠@@turk914it was a mako but it looked like a great white. I don’t know, it was alright as far as shark movies go, they tried to spice up the science in interesting ways but I hated every single character in the movie, couldn’t get behind Sofia or the cops. The film had no tension after that, was just waiting for the shark to do it’s thing. We didn’t even get to see the big baddie die, probably because they wanted to tease a sequel

[@waterdragon2224]

Kris, I love your movie commentary. So entertaining! I just saw Under Paris a couple of weeks ago, so this was perfectly timed. So it’s a Mako shark that looks like a great white and behaves like a Bull. 😂 I like how you caught the coordinate mistake as well. I never thought of checking that. Lol. It never ceases to amaze me how little or no research the filmmakers do on sharks when it’s a shark film. They all have serious problems. Well, we saw the sharks win for once. Maybe the next shark movie will have real science. 😂

[@thehomeschoolinglibrarian]

OK why is it always either a great white or a mako or maybe the occasional tiger shark. If they wanted a river shark why not use a bull shark which can actually swim in fresh water. Also why would a deep sea shark go swimming up a river when there is little for it to eat?

Have you seen the game Another Crab's Treasure? The game is centered around garbage littering the see floor and causing this disease that the main hermit crab character has to fight against to get his shell back. They have a TON of side comments through out the game talking about the damage of micro plastics in the ocean and on land. I found it really interesting how they used the game as a way to bring up the issue in an engaging way. (PS. It's a really difficult game, but they have lots of settings you can adjust to make it easier for casual gamers)

The writers read a children's book about sharks, remembered that makos are a species of shark that somewhat resembles white sharks, and made some artistic liberties with what they believe is shark biology.

Another awesome video Kris. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 This has to be the funniest shark movie commentary you've ever done. You actually called out things I noticed while watching this shark movie. The sharks look more like white sharks than mako sharks, the movie saying that sharks have nests, and the flaps on the nostrils having to do with a sharks adaptability to fresh water. I was like "those sharks look more like white sharks than mako sharks". "We've invaded her nest"! I was like "Sharks don't have nests". "These ridges show they've adapted to fresh water." I was like "The nostrils have nothing to do with a sharks adaptability to fresh water." I was even thinking the mayor of Paris should have been wearing an anchor jacket. Also, I read in one of my shark books that sharks are particularly sensitive to sound frequencies below 375 HZ.

[@briandavion]

I really want to know WHY MAKO SHARKS? Like... why did they go with Makos over whites? this same question applies to Deep Blue sea, why did they choose Mako sharks over the more well known white?

[@darthplagueis13]

I think what's nearly as absurd as the shark monster nonsense is the apocalyptic amount of damage caused by just the remaining unexploded WW2 ordinance. Like, within the world of this film, the Germans either must have had a horrendously bad fail rate on their bombs so that they ended up having to use a lot more, or they must have had absurdly powerful bombs so that even a small leftover number of them would cause this much destruction, which would presumably mean that Paris was just a giant smoldering crater by the end of the war that just ended up getting built over.

[@SmartCatDad]

It is ever so slightly better in French with english subtitles. Instead of claiming that something on the shark's nose allows her to survive in freshwater, they say that some "bumps" on the shark's nose show adaptation to freshwater. I interpret that as the Ampullae of Lorenzini have changed to compensate for the lower conductivity in freshwater.
