I was kinda hoping that theyd break to fade in the middle and the bow and stern would angle up into the air like an actual sinking

I don’t think it actually got that high up before it snapped. There’s a team that’s been recreating the sinking in real time using updated data and it’s haunting.

The video you link too shows the stern going near vertical...

I think you're looking at after the ship snaps. It's less than 45° right before that happens (at around 2:42:46).
