Maybe this picture is AFTER the attack on NYC?


That was my theory as well, there's no time stamp on it... there's nothing there that says it's definitively after, or before the monster assaults Manhattan Island.

I'm disappointed at whoever did the photoshopping for the last two pictures... whilst the partially capsized cargo ship is the better of the two the quality of the image manipulation work is terrible.

also more censoring...5 blacked out boxes? looks like military information for it to blacked out. possible date (in the movie universe) and location of this attack

I don't think so. There were similar distortions on the previous picture, and given the 'damaged digital' effect on the logo and titles from the trailers, I'm led to believe this is their effort to try make it look like the camera's damaged.

There are all kinds of things wrong with the picture: boats too close, boats in wrong positions, missle firing at wrong angles, planes crossing, etc.


Exactly, there's a simply lack of proper perspective or understanding of space. It's like one of those poorly concocted DVD covers you see in shops which just looks flat-out awful.

I like the six (6) fighter jets in perfect flight formation... Smile

Also we seem to be looking at the image from the point of an attack vehicle, seems to be a burst of fire emitting from it.
And what looks like the blocked out areas could be the cockpit Heads Up Display info...

Y'know, i'm curious as to why it appears that the ships are firing AT the jets.

Perhaps the ships aren't part of the US Military, maybe they're Tag?
My assumption was always that Tag didn't totally know about MGP- especially since they were firing at him in the Chuai videos.

Just seems odd.

These last 2 pics are very poorly done, almost afterthoughts.

I think the covered up stuff isn't hiding any clue. I think whoever made it used an existing photo that had marks which could identify it and instead of taking the time to Shop it out and make it match he just blurred it instead.

This pic is messed up on so many levels... It looks like one major Photoshop hack job.

- The ships on the right have no perspective; it's as if we're looking at them dead on only we're not.

- The ships on the left are identical, even though one is clearly behind the other.

- The ships on the left are firing long range missiles at a target way too close for that.

- The six fighter jets on the top right (the ones in the triangle formation) are too clear for this to be a night vision shot at that distance. At that distance we'd be seeing exhaust, not the plane itself clear as day. Besides, isn't it somewhat standard to break formation to some degree when attacking?

- I don't know what the hell the two planes near the top are dropping, 'cause it ain't missiles. Perhaps Durandals, paveways or something along those lines would look like that, but not a Sidewinder or equivalent missile. Whatever it is, it has no arc and is dropping straight down, as if the planes dropped them while stationary.

- The gun near the camera is a repeating fire weapon. Seems to me that the target is well out of range for that sort of thing, but (a) I might be wrong in that assumption (can some militaries clarify that), and (b) it might be being fired out of panic of the unknown.


Also, this doesn't make any sense; it's not the American way. If they're attacking something like this in force, they'd do it the way they've done it in the past: fire a Tomahawk from a hundred miles out.

Quote:
I prefer the weapon that you only have to fire once. That's how dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far.


They would never put so many ships at such close range to an unknown threat.

Curiosity: is the plane on the top right an A-10, or am I looking at it wrong? It looks to have one of those big cylinder engines...

Depending on the lens of the camera

It looks to me as if in the lens is like fisheye, which would skew the image quite a bit. Make things look closer that are further away, etc. It definitely seems like overkill with so many things converging with fire on that one spot. If they are trying to get at MGP, it's obvious with little regard for their own saftey.

The TAG idea seems interesting with a shared assault on the creature. Although, I can't imagine the military joining forces without fear of friendly fire.

They are firing cruise missiles. Cruise missiles go up and then they come down. They are NOT firing at the planes.

Maybe this is meant to be a hackjob? Maybe the government is trying to make it look like they attacked the monster before it reached land, so they slapped this together.

It's possible. The govt has covered up millions of other things.

Yeah, but if the government can fake a moon landing or hide the six other guys that helped kill Kennedy, they should be able to do a much better job than this. Wink

Maybe someone survived the initial attack and they are snapping these pics as this is all happening. Someone from TIDO maybe?
