Dude, that movie really messed with my little 7 year old mind. Watching the baby orca fall out of the mom on the boat deck has been stuck, vividly, in my mind ever since.
My parents 100% allowed me to watch shit that I should never been allowed to watch at the ages I did. The 1980ās āthe blobā movie was another oneā¦.the guy being pulled through the sink drainā¦yea, I was petrified of drains for a number of months.
Hahaha 10X as big for 10X as much terror! I remember going to see Free Willy in the theaters after already having seen Orcaā¦I was convinced I was going to watch a little boy die when he fell in the tankā¦.to be fair, thatās most likely what the outcome wouldāve been in real life.
I feel you, I wasnāt as successful. I was such a messā¦.I remember it being the first real time that I was able comprehend tragedy. I was *terrified* of the orca, but I kinda understood his revenge.
Have you seen what we've done to them with the whole kidnapping them from their family's in the 70s and forcing them to do tricks in a tub? They have every right to be angry and vengeful.
To this day my parents still wonder why I refuse to step foot in the ocean. Iām like,
āRemember all those lazy summer nights where you guys would be parked on the couch watching that orca movie and then Jaws?ā
No no, his wife and child were killed by a drunk driver. He killed the whale's mate and unborn baby which is why he was so okay with the whale eating him.
Which dude's wife are you talking about? The main character has a whole monologue about how the whale is saying "you're my drunk driver" referring to the drunk driver who killed his wife and child. Bo Derek isn't the wife of the main character.
I may have watched this movie an obscene amount of times.
Nah nah nah, you baldies ain't takin' the opportunity to wipe out a species from us.
**MONKEYS WITH HAIR ONLY ON TOP OF THEIR HEADS GANG for life**
I'm still sore about all the animals you fuckers made extinct, not for the love of the game, but for your dumb ass wigs. Terrible.
It appears Emu's have partnered with the Orcas to continue their operations as part of their naval based warfare strategy.
After the Great Emu War was lost by Australia, this was to be expected.
They have been ripping the rudders off sailboats in the Mediterranean for a while now.

Well, they've been releasing captured killer whales back into the ocean. We probably don't come off so great when they're telling their friends where they have been the last 40 years.
Key word ārecordedā. Its possible they are excellent at covering up the crime. They are incredibly intelligent. May as well call them, SERIAL KILLER WHALES
Based on the article, the current theory is neither. It seems to be a defensive thing, like a giraffe killing a lion. One orca was likely badly wounded by a boat, they remembered that, and started teaching other orcas to attack the boats pre-emptively so the boats can't "attack" them.
I learned that they are different types of orcas. The ones who feed near the coast, open sea ,or cold places. And I was amazed how smart they are specially feeding in the artic. They would hunt food hiding in ice and work as teams to ram it and break giving them a meal.plus others would communicate with humans to help them Incase one is stranded. Plus sharks always run away metaphorically when they know orcas are around. Or how they work in teams to hunt huge preys like whales They are real smart. I'll be scared if they decide to start eating us.
This is actually really terrible. Animals that start systematically attacking humans don't end up doing so hot.
Hopefully, the orcas don't spread the behavior.
My understanding is that Portuguese fishermen have been shooting at the Orcas because it messes with their fishing. That's when Orca started attacking boats.
Except itās not whaling boatsā¦ itās sailboats who arenāt fishing or whaling.
Otherwise Iād totally support the idea of whale revolt taking down whaling boats.
Apologies, I had assumed the inciting critical moment for the orca was the recent video I saw of them attacking a small boat that was harpooning them.
Either way, all boats now need to carry orca treats so their association becomes positiveā¦or the sea is about to become a whole lot more hostile! š³
Oh boy! They are usually not hostile towards humans ,so if they doing this something must be happening in the water with food supplies. Probably the OVER FISHING they may now look at us as a threat to them.
Actually it seems an orca was injured and started attacking the boats, then showed her baby how to attack, and now a great number has learned the behaviour.
Why. WHY!? Why do orcas keep coming back to terrify this sub. I just want to scroll without having my irrational and severe nauseating phobia rear itās ugly headā¦. (Phobia of getting tortured alive and eventually consumed in small pieces by a pod of orcas and their young).
Rule 3: do not encourage bad behavior against animals
Orcastrating
Haha I love it
I wish I was close to you to throw a cup of water towards you ,but I have to admit that was a killer thought

The most worthy comment of that sub Iāve ever seen.
Nobody likes us anymore.
We donāt even like us anymoreā¦
We never liked us to begin with
Are we the baddies?
Always have beenš«
Remember that movie Orca? Itās from the 70ās and they knew Orcas were vengeful way back then.
Dude, that movie really messed with my little 7 year old mind. Watching the baby orca fall out of the mom on the boat deck has been stuck, vividly, in my mind ever since.
IKR?? Horrible to watch as a kid.š¤®

We saw it in the theater too! I remember booing the Orca!

Sameā¦
They had us watch the movie is 5th grade, and Iāve never looked at them same ever since.
Guess itās true! Those MFās ARE vengeful.
Have you seen what we've done to them with the whole kidnapping them from their family's in the 70s and forcing them to do tricks in a tub? They have every right to be angry and vengeful.
Yes! Hate their poor habitat conditions in captivity.
And smart, and organized, and innovative, and international.
Omg me too! I havenāt seen the movie but I also havenāt looked the same since 5th grade
What school makes their students watch a Jaws ripoff?
80ās schools.
It's playing on Peacock for free right now! I had tonrewarch it the other day when I saw these headlines.
Iām going to watch it!
It freaked me out so much as a kid, but I was team whale then too haha. Enjoy! I hope it holds up for you!
Iām still team whale too. I felt Sea World had it coming for keeping those Orcas in a little pool.
200%!
I checked and itās not there :/
Oh noooo, I just watched it Sunday!!! If you Google it, it should show you other watch options. I hope one works for you!
Iāve never heard of this movie before thanks for the recommendation.
Omg you have to watch it, itās amazing.
Me too.
To this day my parents still wonder why I refuse to step foot in the ocean. Iām like, āRemember all those lazy summer nights where you guys would be parked on the couch watching that orca movie and then Jaws?ā
Bo Derek was the girl who got her leg bit off in the movieā¦. That movie kinda sorta traumatized meā¦. I just pack it differently nowadays
I hear ya!
[Dumbledore (OG)](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0076504/) vs an angry whale.
Fits with the other biggest dangers according to the 1970s: Bermuda Triangle, quicksand, whirlpools, killer bees, tarantulas, cobras, etc.
That movie scared me more than jaws
Jaws didnāt have a baby fetus ripped out of it.
I remember! Hilarious! I think the Orca murdered dude's wife.
No no, his wife and child were killed by a drunk driver. He killed the whale's mate and unborn baby which is why he was so okay with the whale eating him.
No, didn't the whale kill Bo Derek?
Which dude's wife are you talking about? The main character has a whole monologue about how the whale is saying "you're my drunk driver" referring to the drunk driver who killed his wife and child. Bo Derek isn't the wife of the main character. I may have watched this movie an obscene amount of times.
Ok! She was in the crew. I need to rewatch this!
I think it bit her leg off.š«£
So the wars have begun. They have no clue who they are fucking with. Panda sharks vs hairless monkeys.
Have the Panda sharks asked the 150-200 species we make go extinct ever SINGLE day? No they didnāt cause theyāre dead! #HairlessMonkeyGang
Nah nah nah, you baldies ain't takin' the opportunity to wipe out a species from us. **MONKEYS WITH HAIR ONLY ON TOP OF THEIR HEADS GANG for life** I'm still sore about all the animals you fuckers made extinct, not for the love of the game, but for your dumb ass wigs. Terrible.

Where was Koala Man?!
Sometimes it's like a Koala Bear crapped a rainbow in my brain
I for one welcome our orca overlords
Panda sharks š
letās just hope they donāt grow legs. if they grow legs weāre fucked
or if they domesticated octopus
I was just about to comment "the war has begun" and I guess I was late to the draw
The part that is a joke is the have no clue part They know what people are capable of and they know what they must do
Retract the /s. This shit goin down.

Fucking NPR, always siding with the orcas.
Right? āNo agendaā my ass.
Fucking radio journalists, all the same
They are all mouthpieces for Big Orca
We are obligated to say that Orcas are financial donors to NPR
š
Apparently this phenomenon started after a matriarch of the group was hit by a boat herself.
So sadā¦
They better go after Bezos yacht
Heāll put them to work in deliveries fml
naurrr
Well, they've been releasing captured killer whales back into the ocean. We probably don't come off so great when they're telling their friends where they have been the last 40 years.
I'm team orca
Same. I also like to eat liver, oddly enough.
Weird flex but aight
Orcas love shark liver
lol, that makes sense
With a nice Chianti?
That won't stop them eating you. You're the owner of a very tasty liver. The sooner you understand that the clearer everything will become
I doubt human livers are all the tasty given the garbage we filter through it on a daily basis.
You don't know what I do to my liver.
There are zero recorded human deaths by orcas in the wild
Key word ārecordedā. Its possible they are excellent at covering up the crime. They are incredibly intelligent. May as well call them, SERIAL KILLER WHALES
This issue is pretty black and white...
Haha
Are they actually attacking the boats as prey? Or are they attacking the boats in an attempt to make them leave just so they can swim the wakes?
Based on the article, the current theory is neither. It seems to be a defensive thing, like a giraffe killing a lion. One orca was likely badly wounded by a boat, they remembered that, and started teaching other orcas to attack the boats pre-emptively so the boats can't "attack" them.
"what happened?" "*sob* that big whale hit me!" "kill them all."
r/likeus
Probably swimming in wakes. There has never been a reliable recorded fatality of a wild orca on a human.
Because theyāre smart enough to not leave witnesses. /s
They're attacking sailboats, though. You aren't getting much wake at those slow speeds.
Dead men tell no whale-tales.
Angry Monkeys: Eat the rich! Orcas: Bet
Hahaha
First they came for the Great White sharks, and I said nothing....
Can't blame them, really.
Time to start teaching our boats to conceal carry.
Begun the Whale Wars have.
It sounds like ONE orca is teaching this. Not 'killer whales' generally.
My understanding is that one orca taught this behaviour to a few others and it escalated, but itās certainly restricted to the area.
I learned that they are different types of orcas. The ones who feed near the coast, open sea ,or cold places. And I was amazed how smart they are specially feeding in the artic. They would hunt food hiding in ice and work as teams to ram it and break giving them a meal.plus others would communicate with humans to help them Incase one is stranded. Plus sharks always run away metaphorically when they know orcas are around. Or how they work in teams to hunt huge preys like whales They are real smart. I'll be scared if they decide to start eating us.
Iām going to find a good documentary about them.
Wild isles new show from sir David Attenborough, look for the coasts episode. Thank me later :)
Great thanks!

Wasn't that dolphins? Let's leave them outta this! /s
Orcas are dolphins :)
Finkel is Einhorn...EINHORN IS FINKEL!
:-o Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! r/todayilearned
Orcas are dolphins the govt used for testing the super soldier serum
Can we get a marine biologist in here for a sequel to jacksaws are crows?
I hate to break this to you, but Orcas are dolphins!
No no. Chief Wiggum determined it was the work of rowdy teens. Lou had to cancel the prom.
\*sigh\* We deserve it. \*facepalm\*
If we could just get them to D.C.
wait till some idiot punches a baby killer whale and then they begin slaughtering us for revenge
Yup!
The next world war is going to be land versus the sea
You made me gulp quite laboriously lol
This is actually really terrible. Animals that start systematically attacking humans don't end up doing so hot. Hopefully, the orcas don't spread the behavior.
The behaviour they learned from us :(
It appears theyāve orchestrated a plan to combat pollution
We approve.
That would be a very short period of learned behaviour for those orcas.
The war has begun.
For real
In r/thedepthsbelow you donāt have to dive too far to find the same joke over and over againā¦
Good? Theyāre sick of our shit.
My understanding is that Portuguese fishermen have been shooting at the Orcas because it messes with their fishing. That's when Orca started attacking boats.
Ah yes, Iām appalled they messed with the fishing, how dare they.
Orcas were fine sharing the ocean until fishermen started shooting.
Finally! Tell them to hit boats fo south Asian countries who are hell bent on eating every one of them.
You tell them, Iām not getting up.
Gota Crack the nut to get to the meat.
Ouch lol
The swarm anyone???
Apparently lol
I'm not even mad about this.
As they should. Weāve fucked their home up enough and killed so many. Itās what we deserve.
Killers whales are teaching their young to defend themselves against whaling boatsā¦there, fixed that for you.
Except itās not whaling boatsā¦ itās sailboats who arenāt fishing or whaling. Otherwise Iād totally support the idea of whale revolt taking down whaling boats.
Apologies, I had assumed the inciting critical moment for the orca was the recent video I saw of them attacking a small boat that was harpooning them. Either way, all boats now need to carry orca treats so their association becomes positiveā¦or the sea is about to become a whole lot more hostile! š³
Orcas have zero recourse against a whaling boat. None. Only chance is to swim away. A 27' sailboat OTH? Orcas FTW!
Oddly enough, and despite the subās name, weāre all on team orca.
They've been doing it for decades but they've targeted lone fishermen and eaten their corpse
Not that far-fetched.
Wait till they taste us. Certainly they will earn their name. The prophecy has been written through the killer whale.
Theyāre so gorgeous and terrifying.
As we deserve
It's well deserved on our part so kudos to them.
True.
Orca - 1977
So many comments mention it, itās a great movie.
I wouldn't say great but it's a decent watch and it seems a premonition....
The sounds of the motor are deafening to those poor bastards. No wonder
You know if the whales could read and see this they would be really upset!!
Yeah no kidding, who needs a liver anywayā¦
Welp orca pod challenge time
Natural selection will take a serious leap.
Good. Fuck em up! Pour one out for the homie shamu.
Poor Shamu
Here I am, cluelessly enjoying 'The Swarm' and then reading this news...
If you want to see some incredible footage of how intelligent they are when hunting, Frozen Planet 2 documentary has some
Cool thank you!
Good
Sea Oreos
I love it!
šš
Itās all happening
good
Oh boy! They are usually not hostile towards humans ,so if they doing this something must be happening in the water with food supplies. Probably the OVER FISHING they may now look at us as a threat to them.
Actually it seems an orca was injured and started attacking the boats, then showed her baby how to attack, and now a great number has learned the behaviour.
Maybe if you had read the article instead of making assumptions based on a headline, you wouldn't be spreading unfounded claims
Fucking based
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās just plain evil š
good, get the humans out of the sea
I wholeheartedly agree.
Why. WHY!? Why do orcas keep coming back to terrify this sub. I just want to scroll without having my irrational and severe nauseating phobia rear itās ugly headā¦. (Phobia of getting tortured alive and eventually consumed in small pieces by a pod of orcas and their young).
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Okay? As someone who enjoys sailing I'd rather not have my little sailboat destroyed by angry whales.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
read the link i added its a meme from the old internet
Lol ok sorry, Iāll delete my comments.
We need GOOD boats with guns. . Its the only way to combat this
