The explanation about the door is that it wasn't about the size, it was about the buoyancy. If they both got on it then they both would've sunk
It wasn't about size or buoyancy, it's about the plot. Jack had to die, and that was the prop they had.
If you wanna retcon an explanation onto it, I'd say its about stability. They'd both be kept afloat, but they'd get wet.
I didn't retcon anything, I knew it, and I googled it to confirm before i posted. Cameron has said this himself. Mythbusters even tested it and showed that unless they did a trick with the life jacket then they both would've drowned if they both tried to stay on the door
Right, that was my first point. It is whatever the plot said it is. Reality be damned. If James Cameron says it'd stink if they both got on, then it would. They never say or show this in the movie, though, so it's a retcon.
Myth busters never showed that it'd sink at full scale, just that two people couldn't stay on it and stay dry at the same time. It could keep them from drowning, just not from getting hypothermic.
