What would Hooper have done if Brody got eaten?


Was there any chance he could have made it back?

reply

Of course

reply

Also got eaten I would think, as the shark would still be alive.

reply

Well Brody could have killed himself with the tank exploding so both he and the shark could have died.

reply

But he asked what Hooper would have done if Brody had been eaten, not if he'd died through the shark exploding.

reply

My apologies. Hooper would have been fucked.

reply

What...proper fucked?

reply

No lube.

Did this shark have a tapeworm? Sheesh, it eats a lady, a dog and a boy in the space of a few days. Then it eats Quint and immediately hunts Brody. Greedy much?

reply

Probably stay low until the shark was done with Brody and presumably left to go look for more food. Then slowly drift back to the surface, trying to cause the minimum disturbance that would draw the sharks attention. Hopefully find some debris, like one of the barrels, or a floating door, that he could climb on and float back to the island, or wait for rescue.

Or just swim as close to the floor as possible, until you run out of oxygen. Then move to the surface and swim as fast as possible.

Of course these are both long shots at succeeding. Most likely he's getting eaten either way.

Do you think he was close enough to see Jaws drag down Quint's body?

reply

No way.

Fare well and adieu....
