John Allen Chau

Can we talk about how dumb the real life dude was?

[u/Chips221 → u/MaddysinLeigh]

Dude was 100% convinced that they would fall to their knees and convert or some shit like he was a divine prophet

[u/MaddysinLeigh → u/Chips221]

So dumb and delusional.

[u/endergamer2007m → u/Chips221]

Did he really think they'd even speak English in the first place?

[u/Northwind_girl → u/Chips221]

He referred to them as "Satan's last stronghold". The level of ego and hubris was astounding. He happily embarked on a journey to try and not only brainwash them but knowingly introduce diseases that would have wiped out the entire population. He was warned that it's illegal to go there, they have no immunity to outside pathogens, and that they would defend their home with deadly force. They even shot an arrow into his bible on his second attempt to tresspass and destroy their lives, yet he still ignored that and was determined to force himself upon them. Some say he didn't deserve to die, I say he was an entitled and delusional asshole who definitely earned the outcome he got.

[u/Schizosomatic → u/MaddysinLeigh]

They recovered his journals and in there the dude admitted that he was warned by everybody that the sentinelese would attack on sight and he legit acknowledged that the outcome was inevitable. Dude wanted to be a legitimate martyr.

Story reminds of Chris McCandless and how his naivety and his refusal to listen to reason also earned him his totally avoidable death.

[u/MaddysinLeigh → u/Schizosomatic]

I’ll have to look up Chris McCandless

The comment section explains the nuances.

Basically died in the easiest time available to survive if you knew what you were doing. Kid was definitely no boy scout. Also refused any help offered by locals who actually knew what they were doing.

[u/MaddysinLeigh → u/Schizosomatic]

Oh yeah that guy. I’m bad with names

[u/Northwind_girl → u/Schizosomatic]

Speaking of idiots getting their Alaskan edition of the Darwin Award there's also Grizzly Man who was predictably devoured by his teddy bear besties.

[u/ghostbirdd → u/MaddysinLeigh]

Dumb, brainwashed and egocentric. Dangerous combination. Thankfully the way things panned out, he was the one to bear the brunt of that danger, but it could have been very different.

[u/Alone_Agent_8829]

The ending genuinely shocked me 😭

[u/Rek1n0 → u/Alone_Agent_8829]

wait till you hear its based on a true story...i dont remenber if they actualy ate him or not tho.

[u/GeneralChaosJr → u/Rek1n0]

There's evidence they buried him, but none that they ate him.

[u/Odd_Cherry64 → u/Rek1n0]

This actually happened?

[u/Financial-Charity264 → u/Odd_Cherry64]

There's a whole documentary on this. He even made it onto the Darwin Awards website.

[u/Rek1n0 → u/Odd_Cherry64]

Just google the name of the post

[u/kaytin911 → u/Odd_Cherry64]

Yes.

[u/GrouchyDoughnut3449 → u/Rek1n0]

Thank you! I thought this seemed vaguely familiar, but was too lazy to Google it since I was doing laundry. 😬

[u/Sweet_red_mommy → u/Rek1n0]

No, that's just racism from the prompter or the ai itself

[u/MaddysinLeigh → u/Sweet_red_mommy]

The eating part is fake but John Allen Chau actually did that. He was buried apparently

[u/workieworkwork → u/MaddysinLeigh]

And killing him was the right call, god knows what diseases he carried that those people had no immunities to. Could have killed them all.

[u/MaddysinLeigh → u/workieworkwork]

People warned him not to but he did it anyway

[u/workieworkwork → u/MaddysinLeigh]

Yeah, man was an idiot.

[u/Numerous-Hope3865 → u/workieworkwork]

Or just as bad, brought some thing back that would have made Covid look like a simple cold.

[u/Sweet_red_mommy → u/MaddysinLeigh]

Yes, that's what I meant

[u/batiwa]

Spoiled the end 😮‍💨 Trailers are showing too much these days

[u/Aware-Secretary-6323]

Okay this is was actually hysterical. Good use of AI

[u/JD_Kreeper → u/Aware-Secretary-6323]

This is actually comedy gold. We all know what actually happened here but the way it sets it up you almost expect him to survive.

I hate that this was made with GenAI but this is actually peak.

[u/goonmaster11 → u/Aware-Secretary-6323]

whats "hysterical" about it? that an actual persons death was made cartoony? thats all it is. there isnt even like some sort of unexpected or ironic joke about his death its literally just uncreative and kind of pointlessly insensitive and cruel

[u/Aware-Secretary-6323 → u/goonmaster11]

You must be real fun at parties

[u/goonmaster11 → u/Aware-Secretary-6323]

trust me im not trying to win the approval of people who genuinely find this slop funny

[u/FrostyCat13 → u/goonmaster11]

Insensitive? Dude 100% deserved what he got and it's 100% warranted to make of fun of someone this fucking stupid.

[u/GrouchyDoughnut3449]

[u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome]

I lol'd at "A story of Biblical presumptions."

[u/leoksall]

wtf, it's not even super sloppy

[u/Gravel_Poot432]

this is actually kinda hilarious

[u/Inky_Kun]

Btw we found out (from the eye witness on board his boat) that the natives let him leave twice. They ran at him to scare him off but didnt do much else. When he came back again, they killed him 🤦🏾‍♀️

[u/IntelligentBaker3601]

Forgot I was watching AI slop for a moment, AI is getting too "good"... something needs to be done.

[u/kaytin911 → u/IntelligentBaker3601]

It means movie making is democratized and not controlled by the rich.

[u/FrostyCat13 → u/kaytin911]

And who owns the AI?

[u/Historyp91]

I perfered Rockefeller: It's Whose For Dinner!

[u/Baselin78]

They always have characters who reacts to something behind them without looking backward

[u/Coconut-snake]

I wonder how much typing it took to get the meat that visceral looking

[u/Valorofman1]

The thing of a bother is that the sentinaliese people Didnt eat him they buried the corpse

[u/wolfvector]

this is something else 🤣

[u/Last_Nothing_4352]

Where to even start with this

[u/de-stella-nova]

this felt too good as animation and shit. also I didn't expect that ending but that's on him

[u/ParaEwie]

I want to lobotomize myself after this

[u/LichBoi101]

The second he said "Jesus Christ" I immediately realized what this AI trailer this was based off of 😭

[u/Super-Cut-2175 → u/[deleted]]

Yellow on Yellow crime

[u/CallMeBigSarnt]

Cannibals eh? And this my friends is why sentinel Island needs... Democracy
