[SPEC]What if...
Two things I've been thinking...(teddy= monster?) (trigger for exploding people)

Hello,

I have two theories which may be completely wrong, but which I think are worth putting to you for consideration.

Theory #1: Having watched the latest Jamie and Teddy video I had this thought. What if Teddy is the monster? Quite absurd on first thought, but let me try and back it up.

I was browsing the Tagruato website the other day and came across this article: http://www.tagruato.jp/drtakahashi.php

Upon reading it, I realised that whatever it is Teddy says in his recording that Tagruato have discovered would be experimented with in a way similar to the samples described in the article above.

"This might involve a "clinical trial": Trying the drug on real people after it's been through plenty of tests and development!"

We know that Tagruato aren't exactly the nicest, most trustworthy people on the planet and if they were to discover a mole within their ranks (Teddy) how do we know that they wouldn't skip the clinical trial described here and go ahead and use Teddy as a test subject instead, as punishment.

A guy recently posted on here that he'd seen the film and therefore seen the monster. He described it as looking 'humanoid'... Whether or not that's true is yet to be confirmed, obviously, but what sort of deep sea creatures look humanoid?

On the Slusho website, it explains that once Ganu consumed the 'new ingredient' he grew as big as a whale. What if this happened to Teddy? What if they've found something that could do that…?

My second theory has nothing to do with the above whatsoever.

I was thinking about people exploding within the film. What could trigger that off? Like so many before me have said, it seems to happen as soon as the monster gets into New York.

Could it be that the roar the monster bellows out could have something to do with it?

On the TIDOWave website there's the article covering how the deep sea drilling Tagruato are involved in is confusing the deep sea life, sending them off in the wrong direction and so on. Maybe that would explain the monster being woken, but what if it's just a clue to how these creatures communicate.

What if the sound the monster omits causes whatever it is inside Marlena to awake, like a timer.

Just a few thoughts. Apologies if they've been discussed before.

I think they are both good theory, especially the Randy + Monster one

but we have only seen one person explode/expand, that could be the only person to do so, we dont know if loads of people are exploding, unless it has been mentioned in a spoiler (which I wont read till the movie comes out)

On pure speculation: I thought of Teddy being the monster also, ala Relic. I also thought maybe Marlene mutates as opposed to explodes.

Of course it will probably be debunked; but i had to throw support to the idea.

Pretty sure the Teddy being the onster idea has been brought up in quite a few other threads. But none really had much evidence to support, and if it did it was small. You seem to have quite a bit of evidence, but I think there is ore evidence to support the thoeryt hat Teddy is the monster (I also think this could be a strong possibility)

Your second theory makes sense too.

Its a good theory with a lot more info than most people usually provide. I really like the second one.
But the Teddy theory wouldnt make sense to people besides us because they have no backstory in that hour and a half. Teddy probably wont even be mentioned in the movie.

Marlena mutating into something monstrous perhaps after eating the 'evidence' Teddy sent Jamie would be great.

Maybe they could use the same stuff to turn Teddy into the beast too.

But like you say, it's true that to people other than us, the Teddy theory I've brought up wouldn't make sense. And to be honest, I personally hope it's not like that anyway.

It'd still be alright, I suppose, but I'm rooting for the more realistic theory that the monster's been awoken with the drilling in the sea.

I suppose it just goes to show that there's so many different directions you can go in. There's some bit of evidence out there to support just about anything!

hmm

It's a good idea, and due to the fact that it seems Jamie and Teddy are not a part of the group of friends(see interview with Michael Stahl-David thread) and therefore will not be in the movie(IMHO), this could be feasible.

I don't necessarily think it's gonna go this way...hell but who knows.
It seems speculation is the #1 marketing tool for this movie.

Good stuff. Smile

Another thing that's been troubling me is this:

The monster must have lived under the water for quite some time, most people on here believe it to be some aquatic creature, right? Well, how does it manage to survive on land? Whales have to come up for air occassionally, but they need to remain in water or else they dry up, just like fish.

Then there's this new suggestion that the creature can burrow underground, the hard, dry (at most moist) land beneath NYC.

That got me onto thinking that maybe the monster isn't aquatic at all...

Maybe it's some sort of mole type thing, and has been living beneath the ocean floor, more towards the centre of the Earth, that sort of thing. Say Tagruato have drilled too deep and disturbed it from it's subterrainian lair.

Or, maybe it is some human/aquatic crossover hybrid beast capable of breathing air, and living under water as I described earlier....Teddy(water)bear?

So many possibilities.

I'd be very surprised if Slusho! and the deep sea nectar were even mentioned in the film.

I think it's more likely that Marlena is bitten by the monster (or smaller monsters if you prefer, though I don't think they'll exist) and that the venom in the bite is so powerful that it causes people to burst.

I agree, from the point of view of an audience member who knows nothing of the things discussed here and of the viral websites up on the net, it'd make very little sense for some conspiracy involving Slusho, Tagruato, and whatever else to appear in the film. I'm totally in agreement with you on that. However, they're just thoughts on what COULD happen, not what I hope will happen or what realistically should happen from a film-making-money perspective. Just fun ideas to consider while we wait for the film to hit the big screen.
