What lives at the depth of the seas at the lowest reaches of the Umbrella Trenches..?
Greetings to Gulper Eel Cookie! A presence who wanders the deep dark finds their way on dry land. But what could be bringing them to unmarked territory..?
With a large maw capable of expanding into a big balloon to swallow things whole, the beast has garnered quite a well known tale of caution. The flush line, an invisible crack across the water located right above the Umbrella trench, is a place no sailor should cross. All boats sail around it, as traversing through it brings you a cruel end.
Those cookies foolish enough find to try find themselves in waters that glow a flashing red— like jam— as the waters swirl and swallow them up in a whirlpool. Another meal for the gargantuan belly of the trenches.
Don't get me wrong, grumpy old man with a sad backstory being force to take care of a child which leads to him opening out and healing from his past trauma and the two of them developing a parent-child relationship is the best trope, but you what is also amazing and needs more love?
An irresponsible and/or immature teen boy/very young adult man being force to take care of a kid(s) which leads to him having a character development and redemption and the two, or more, of them developing a siblings relationship.
I love it when animated movies are like “the system has been corrupt for years, the government’s been feeding everyone propaganda, and those we believe to be monsters were never evil at all” with a dash of found family featuring a man who works for the government in some way and a young(ish) girl who makes him realize how fucked up the government is. Then they overthrow the government. Good shit
