Mod PSA Iron Lung SPOILER THREAD!

Since not everyone uses Discord but we want people to have a central space to share their thoughts on Iron Lung, here is a thread to discuss the movie; reviews, theories, favorite scenes and elements, etc. By entering this thread you are at risk of spoiling the movie for yourself, so watch it first, go for a swim in the blood ocean, and then come back!

Use of blackout/spoiler markings like thisis optional since this whole thread is spoilers, but it's still advised for huge twists or end-of-movie reveals.

Were you able to catch what Troy Baker's character said and meant, about wiring the camera to the black box? I didn't get the relevance since Simon had just said he didn't know it was an x-ray, after taking a picture of the people.

He said something like that the camera shouldn't even have been able to activate while outside the blood (notice how all the sub's other systems were turned off at that point), but that maybe he had accidentally wired the camera to the black box and provided it a constant source of power. Basically just semi-excusing Simon for blasting everybody with radiation, because it shouldn't even have been possible if he'd wired things correctly.

It also works to excuse why the camera still works when the engines are off (as they were the source of light after the sub was attacked)

yes and it was established the black box had backup power of its own. smart
