Still super lame. Yes it may technically work in setting but it's just so boring and deeply unspecial the way it is done. Then he falls to the floor dead like a chump and that's pretty much it. Killing the big blue boyscout shoud feel monumental, you have properly passed the rubicon, y'know?

Okay here's my thing on it.

It's lazy writing.

That is all the effort I'll give this game.
Science Fiction is a genre where anything can happen. Just make sure what happens is enjoyable for yourself and your audience.

I don't think the idea is that King Shark is "turning evil," but more that he is pure evil, or at least a more raw primal form that transcends the will judgements of humans. Sharks are the oldest carnivorous predators on the planet, so you gotta take things in perspective.
..What mirror universe?
