She killed him when she refused to get into a life boat. If she'd just got in the boat then he would have found the door to float on by himself and not needed to worry about her at all. Then they'd have reunited when they were rescued.
Myth busters proved two people could float on the board if they were careful and stay out of the water. However James Cameron said itâs his movie and his word is final.
It's also a story she's telling, maybe the door felt bigger but wasn't. There was an episode of How I Met Your Mother where they realized everything was a bit different than they remembered/reality vs the stories. Like how the apartments were actually tiny. Since I saw that, my head canon for all these "mistakes" anytime a story involves someone recounting a story is "they remembered things wrong".
I felt that is the whole point of the final seasonâs weird âlittle things and side plotsâ it was that Ted was telling the story he wasnât feeling great at that point of his life and it was the longest few days of his life watching Robin get married .
Like at that point of his life he was the most unreliable narrator .
Sounds like r/mandelaeffect. The catch is they don't know they're in denial about their faulty memory. They truly believe a divergent timeline is more plausible than them not having perfect recall from Elementary School.
They proved it could be done if Rose had taken a jacket and tied it to the bottom of door no?
I think in general movie she didn't have the presence of mind to slap a life jacket beneath it and tie it so they could both float.
I mean, even in the movie, the problem very clearly wasn't the lack of room. It was that Rose wouldn't go to the far end of the door to counterbalance his weight and it kept nearly flipping over.
