Honestly, one of the saddest scenes in Maneater was within the first 15-20 minutes

But please someone needs to tell Jacksepticeye that there’s DLC

In Maneater, do you think none of this would've started if the Mother Shark didn't eat innocent people? I actually feel like Scaly Pete was the good guy in that game.

There are no ‘good guys’ or ‘bad guys’ in the game. 

Despite that the game is greatly exaggerating sharks and their behavior, hunting and killing sharks is technically killing the ocean’s ecosystem. Sharks actually help clean the ecosystem and they essentially eat just about anything, including license plates! 

Now lets think back for a moment and put ourselves in the shark’s shoes, the Mother Shark doesn’t know the concept of innocence, morality, or right and wrong. It’s an animal and it’s simply following its instincts. She likely was attacking those people because the humans were probably in its territory or maybe that spear at its side was causing it to become extremely enraged and irked to the point where it lashes out at anyone and anything indiscriminately. Again, even though sharks technically wouldn’t bat an eye at humans, they are territorial and since this is a bull shark, it would be slightly accurate in this situation because bull sharks are far more aggressive than even great whites or tiger sharks. 

Scaly Pete isn’t pure himself. The man could’ve just killed the bull shark pup and he wouldn’t be going through all the trouble he was experiencing in the game, but alas, his pride and arrogance as a shark hunter lead him into losing his son. Technically, the main shark didn’t kill Kyle, it was a freak accident. Plus, the guy was so driven with hatred and rage, he went as far as to dump toxic waste in one of the areas of the map in the game. That’s polluting the ocean’s waters and damaging the ecosystem. 

However, the shark was a threat to humans and has uncanny intellect and scarily determined than any mere shark that ever exists in the game while Scaly Pete is a threat to the ocean’s ecosystem. Both sides are neither good or evil. But, in reality, we humans are the real monsters because we kill sharks out of ignorance or inconsideration for the ocean ecosystem, placing them as endangered species.

Slick's Nit-Picks: Maneater

Slick’s Nit-Picks: Maneater

The classic movie Jawsinstilled both a fear of and fascination with sharks in me. Sharks have unlimited teeth and a garbage can for a stomach. There is little in the water that they need to fear. When Tripwire Interactive and DeepSilver announced Maneater, I just threw money at the screen. I have not (personally) played a shark game since Jaws for the NES. I have high hopes for Maneater.
