[The Boys] Theory about the Deep's mental state

I was in a discussion with someone about an interesting theory regarding The Deep's mental state. It's buried in a thread so I doubt it's been viewed much to elicit comments either way so I wanted to create a post to see if I'm just crazy.

Hmm I had screen shot the discussion but apparently images are not allowed so to sum it up >!the person to which I was talking feels that the "whole fish are angry with Deep" was a metaphor. The fish weren't really hostile and his own powers are what killed him. Similar to Noir's imaginary cartoon friends, it was all in his head.!<

​Interesting theory, but I did not get the impression that was what the writers were going for. Given their propensity for teenage butt joke level humor, lol, I just assumed they were being literal and not that complex with the writing.

!So was the whole angry sea life thing meant to be a deep (har har) psychological metaphor as MutuallyEclipsed posits or were the ocean denizens actually pissed and homicidal towards Deep?!<
