Ending Explained

In the concluding scenes of 'The Meg,' directed by Jon Turteltaub, the protagonists face the final showdown with the massive prehistoric shark, the Megalodon. Jonas Taylor, portrayed by Jason Statham, devises a daring plan to eliminate the threat. He pilots a submersible to confront the Meg directly. In a climactic underwater battle, Jonas uses the sub's sharp edges to wound the creature, causing significant damage. He then exits the sub and, in a risky maneuver, stabs the Meg in the eye with a poisoned harpoon, ultimately killing it.
