Talk:Finding Nemo/@comment-4932201-20190211001819

I thought of an alternate climax to Finding Nemo (though the very end part with him watching Nemo go off to school can stay the same) and I was wondering if you thought this would have made the movie better or worse by the alteration:

Instead of Dory being caught in that net and Nemo going to rescue her (and nearly getting killed), we cut out that entire scene from the movie and have them return home.

After celebrating at having returned, and everyone around appeasr to be glad they returned too, everyone suddenly flees and goes into hiding. Marlin at first wonders what is going on but soon learns that the Baracuda that killed his wife Coral, killled all but one of his kids, and injured Nemo, is  back and is going for Nemo. Dory saves Nemo from the first attack but then the Barracuda goes for the both of them.

Marlin, who had, all of this time blamed himself for the deaths of Coral and his kids, and felt inadequate as a father and husband, and felt too weak to protect Nemo (hence his extreme overprotectiveness at the beginning of the movie), he cries "Not again!  Not this time!" and attack the Barracuda, tail slapping it in the face.

The creature chases him but is eventually led to its doom. (Either via crashing into the anemone and being killed by it (not sure if that would work), being led to the hagfish or the sharks (which eat it), led into a minefield or something and blown up, buried by rocks, or some other fate that kills it.

It looks like Marlin too has died but then Nemo and Dory find that he has lived. Marlin tells Nemo that it was because of losing Coral and hsi kids that he felt like a failure and why he was so overprotective and now he realizes that he is adequate enough to protect Nemo iand Dory too I guess) and also realizes, based on his experiences escaping the tank, that Nemo can also handle himself and thus that things are going to be different.

Also, the talk about Marlin's lost faimily would start to trigger Dory's rememberance of her old family, which she would mention a tiny bit about them, then forget what she remembered and Nemo and Marlin aren't somehow able to get her to recall more until the events of Findng Dory, but whatever would happen would at least set things up for the sequel.
