How to fix Meg 2: The Trench (off the top of my head): >Either bring back the female characters as well, or don't bring anyone back other than Jonas and maybe Mac, because it was really awkward that they very obviously brought none of the women back. >Jonas is allowed to use his superpowered mech diving suit in a fight scene because why the frick else would you give Jason Statham a superpowered mech diving suit? >I know the novel had human villains, but the novel was also a claustrophobic story about the heroes being stuck in the facility at the floor of the Trench (which was up and running and active and full of people). In the story the film has, the human villains can be in it, but they need to have their role reduced considerably. They're taken care of by the midway point, at the heroes' facility. >The weird quadruped dinosaurs are no longer a thing and there's no lame Jurassic Park rip-off action. The focus of the climax is fully on the megs and the kraken. We're allowed to actually see the meg vs. kraken fight in its entirety. Alternatively, make it just one big dinosaur that can interact with and fight the megs and the kraken. >We need to be given a "Wait, she remembers me!" payoff scene between the Chinese guy and the meg he rose and cared for in his facility. I know technically they did this, but it wasn't fun or exciting and it went by way too quickly and it didn't result in anything (she should have been saving him from another meg or the kraken).
>Dwight Schrute actually survived and is now a hideous Meg-Man hybrid who breathes through his anus. He wants to enslave humanity and go to the moon, because he thinks God lives there.
Thoughts?
We have no idea what megalodons acted like and none of our modern day animals are really big enough to properly sustain them (except for maybe like the biggest of whales) so I imagine they'd be on the hunt roughly all the time.
>Just embrace the horror an go full Jaws.
The sad thing is, that's what the books actually are. It is absolute "We know more about the surface of Mars than we do the bottom of the ocean" horror. The character of Jonas in the books is an unathletic science lab nerd, not an action hero.
Actually, he does something far more badass, which I am absolutely STUNNED they haven't had Jason Statham do in either movie, because it seems like a batshit crazy thing they'd have him do - In the first book, Jonas' one man submersible is swallowed whole by the meg. Realizing he won't be surviving the encounter, he opens the submersible and gets out INSIDE the meg, then uses his prized megalodon tooth fossil to cut the meg's heart out. And then he survives the encounter.
If I remember right, that book ended on a negative note, right? Like, Jonas kills the Meg, but turns out the goverment or someone else extracts a baby of her just in time, realizing about it before passing out after such experience.
I don't remember if the government has anything to do with it, but she does give birth, yeah. Which, again, I'm stunned wasn't a post credit stinger for EITHER movie.
I know, that's why I said it on the first place. How many books are there, 8 or 9? Do a 180 with Meg 3 and change everything: characters, main set, etc. Keep the pregnant Megalodon around and just make it a horror movie, it fricks with me how incompetent this homies are. Jaws already is pretty damn scary even for today standards, now imagine a horror movie about a Megalodon done right.
'Bottom of the ocean is full of giant monsters' is such a stupid meme. Bottom of the ocean has no food in it. Everything down there is tiny.
Basically everything that lives in the ocean lives at the top and by the coast, where there's enough light that plants can grow and enough land for them to root themselves to, and then everything lives off of those. Just like on land.

Anon, I...
Those deep sea fish are all pretty small. None of them are big enough to threaten a human. Giant squid are the only deep sea animal that would be truly dangerous, and they don't actually go very deep.
More Skyler Samuels. But instead of trying to eat her, the sharks want to give her kisses on the bottom. It doesn't have to be a real or CGI shark. It could just be a plastic toy shark.
More Chinese booba
I appreciate china's attempts at addressing their population collapse here. I approve.
You make a compelling argument.
Impressive.
Most impressive.
Holy shit, I thought the only giant monsters in the movie were the megs and the octopus.
Aquachina looks like that?!
If she did she'd be my favorite actress.
How about, not trying to shoehorn a conflict with human antagonists that nobody cares about?
Aliens, but with sharks.

Escaping space sharks in a slow ship mining asteroids.

Cast John Barrowman to play every character including the shark.
He's the only thing that can save this franchise.

More Thailand. That's literally all it needs.
There are some many cool sea creatures to use, just make movies about them.
More sharks eating people I saw Meg 2 and the first 75% of the film was them fighting some other gay gay fish instead! Big L!
>How would you improve the MEG cinematic universe?
Put a Shrek in it.
By starting over and following the books more closely with an R rating. Also no chinese.
>the books
>Dwight Schrute actually survived and is now a hideous Meg-Man hybrid who breathes through his anus. He wants to enslave humanity and go to the moon, because he thinks God lives there.

Who does he fight?
Himself
Dr Wily
By making them behave like actual animals instead of meme gore movies creatures

Maybe they were vegan.
>now in theaters: vegalodon 3
>vegalodon
Well now I'm just picturing a humanoid shark made out of vegetables and it's the greatest Power Rangers monster ever.
>into the megverse where the shark from jaws comes in and martin brody teams up with jason statham
No Black folk. Like it is canon that Black folk have been eradicated
Just embrace the horror an go full Jaws. Enough with the clown meme shark frickery, bring back scary sharks again.
>Just embrace the horror an go full Jaws.

Sounds like a redditor. I'll bet he doesn't even punch a meg.

Now we're talking.

Get this.... more Megs. And not just that, they're even BIGGER than the original Meg.
2 Meg 2 Aladon
I male another Deep Blue Sea instead
put meg in it?

I don't know who this is but I wholeheartedly agree with your proposed plot, good sir.
