18. "the part about them having more evolved emotional brains than us"
In response to In response to 14


  

          

was pretty amazing. like, as emo as we are, they're feeling feelings we don't even know exist and probably could never fully comprehend, the way other animals see wavelengths of light that are invisible to us. the point being made in the film was that killer whales are highly emotional and highly social animals uniquely unequipped for captivity. thought it was a pretty strong argument.

>I never realized they were such emotional creatures.

           I don't think it's suggested, I merely think it's left open.
