Moby Dick vs The Final Count Down

What would happen if Captain Ahab got his hands on a Canon ship then on an aircraft carrier? Big time explosive revenge against the White Whale is what? So Ahab has up graded from a whaler to a battle ship. Still not being able to kill Moby Dick he summons a nuclear aircraft carrier from the 80s and torpedos the whale to oblivion. Happy ending for Ahab at last.

This video was very hard to edit. I'm still learning. The first half is ok and choppy but sets up the plot. After the torpedo gets into the water though I think it gets really good. I love the story of Moby Dick and Capt. Ahab is my favorite character. Analysing him I think that really if he could just get his whale his life would get back to normal. I mean look how happy he is at the end. And I do think he is honorable and would have rewarded his men for helping him. I don't just mean the Spanish coin. There was a scene where he promised gold to everyone. I think he'd make good on it. Anything to get what he wants.

This is an excersise in editing and meant only for fun. I don't make money off these. Movies used are:
Moby Dick
The Final Countdown
The Hunt For Red October
Master and Commander

Did you know that the author's original ending was Moby Dick sinking the boat, but Ahab getting the whale?

That is your somewhat related fact for the day

[RoundularMan]

@PyroGothNerd No I did not. Source please?

@RoundularMan Monsterquest, I think. They had a historian guy talking about the novel and author, and he told about the original ending at the end of the episode. They were trying to find out if white sperm whales could really be as aggressive as in Moby Dick.It turns out Sperm Whales are kinda aggressive, and since a white sperm whale doesn't blend in with it's surroundings as much as regular sperm whales, it makes it more vulnerable to predators and would have to be more aggressive to survive.

@PyroGothNerd Thanks. I'll look into this. I know the book is based on the true life story of the sinking of the Essex whale ship. It was hit twice by a big bull sperm whale. But it was a regular one. Making it white was all Melville's idea. I've seen only one documentary that showed a white sperm whale and it was a baby. It had never been filmed and they wondered if it would stay white into adulthood. I never saw a follow up on it though and so wish I had recorded it.

@NickThePianist Thanks. Yeah there's a few of these I've thought of redoing to make them shorter.
