Dude just stop...did you even watch the movie?

If they killed one before, like u said, then there goes your two monster theory cause your basing it on the Hud interaction, ergo by killing one the whole scene of the monster being bombed AFTER he says that would not happen

One monster, Used its arm to destroy the bridge, The red things are thin, light pours through them

I want your actual eveidence on two monsters, cause we got ours stacked up, and your jus repeating what were saying but trying to turn it around


And to SlushomakesMEhappy: No offense dude but werent u kinda pissed when it didnt turn out to be Zilla?

Let me take a stab at desciphering this barely coherent rant

1. Clear shots of the monster?????? Wow you must have slow fucking vision man. Holy shit.


Actually I have pretty poor vision, and I was able to see several good shots of the monster in the film, and even some in HD we can watch over and over (see the monster commercial)

econaz02 wrote:
2. MUCH discrepency... The "TOY" has black lung things not red. As well as the scene right before the subway Scene. Camon camera angle my ass thats like comparing a match box to a fucking H1. Prototype. Where is the official word from Hasbro's?


Check the new pictures of the toy, there are no discrepencies between it and the monster in any scene from the film

econaz02 wrote:
3. I guees the fact that when people are nervous and scared they dont use the best choice in words. Do you think there going to say O MY GOD THERE IS EXACTLY 3 MONSTERS. No there going to say WOW its alive. They are certaintly not going to look at the thing and study it so that the next time they see it they can say o yeah your right that is him I just saw the birthmark under his left eye yep same monster lets continue on.


Both the news choppers and the military had aerial coverage, meaning they could see the entire city from the sky simultaneously. and anything that knocked down building as it walked was going to be obvious where it was ant any one time, especially if there were 2 or more. The news people weren't panicked either.. its thier job to report calmly and accurately even during tragedy. So yes. They would have reported if their was mopre than one, and probably split screened shots between cameras to show both at all times.

econaz02 wrote:
4. Seems odly funny how the monster ALWAYS seems to wind up were ever the group is. Hmm especially in that scene where you can see MGP before the planes pass the group on the roof of liz's place didnt look like a fucking T-Rex walking. Not saying it has any T-rex has anythign to do about just saying it looked like the same posture.


Even walking on all fours its torso is mostly vertical, so it would look like it was standing on its hind legs. most of the good shots before then it had leaned down a bit. The diorama in the new toy pictures shows it mostly on its hind legs as well.

econaz02 wrote:
5. The tale looking thing that hit the bridge. WTF was that looked like a huge octopus tentacle which is no were to be found on this monster.


It's a tail. looks short compared to the body of the monster.. but considering how large it is, easily enough to reach across 6-10 lanes of traffic.

econaz02 wrote:
6. The subway scene WOW that thing looks like a bat when hud runs into the subway.


The bat comparison is because of its walking style.. good shots of the head in that scene from the commercial... looks just like the toy and the thing that ate Hud

econaz02 wrote:
7. Mention a second monster and ruin the sequel. Ass.


Then why are you doing it? There may be a second in the sequal, but there wasn't in the original

econaz02 wrote:
8. Interact? WTF yeah I think they forgot there waters under the ocean. Ever thought that when they would make a sound like a roar that could be interaction?????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... How do you think the first humans interacted????? Sounds..


To interact takes two. Military shoots it, it roars and crushes something. For the kind of interraction you are referring to above (badly) we would hear a roar.. and an answering roar. Interaction.. its fairly common in nature. What we heard in the movie was a single roar with no answer but gunfire/explosions. Poor lonely monster.

Maybe they killed one of them? And the other one is still alive and they didnt know while they were in the heat of the battle.


Wow.. thats a stretch.. and once again, full aerial coverage of the city via planes, choppers and satellite.

econaz02 wrote:
10. Why on the end of www.1-18-08.com would they blur this image out??? There is a sequel coming out so why would they show the one and only monster dead? Arent they making another live action one? I would love to see them document another day. That would be stupid. The point of a sequel is to explain not show more mayhem.


They never showed any monster dead in any picture or film. That boat was mauled by the creature on its way to NY.. so if its dead there.. how'd it crash Rob's party?

Like I said again. THERE IS NO 100% PROOF. 100000000% OPINIONS!


There is no abstract that can be a percentage over 100%, to quote it as such makes you (and Randy from American Idol) look stupid. Just an FYI.

You guys seem to be forgetting that it's not meant to be shot like a movie, it's shot like a guy running through the city, trying to escape. Of COURSE there will be things missing. Who's to say the news didn't pick up a 2nd monster after Hud left the store? Who's to say the military saw another monster after they went to rescue Beth? The fact is, you get barely any solid information, because that's what they wanted. There are entire chunks of time missing, so anything could have happened in that time. Not only that, they were only in one part of the city, who knows what was going on in the other parts.

From what I've seen watching the movie 4-5 times, and certain parts at least 10 times each, there cannot be one monster, unless they made some serious mistakes with monster design.

As for the Hasbro toy; if you read the thread, a LOT of people are confused as to why it looks nothing like the monster in the movie. The frame of the monster is much thinner than it should be, based on the shots you see.

Regarding the directors comments, if they were going to have a surprise wherein it was revealed that the entire time there was more than one monster, why would they tell people? They wouldn't, they would reinforce the idea that there is one, then when it is shown that there was MORE, you can all look back and see how obvious it was.

Don't try to argue that you can prove 'this' or prove 'that'. You can't. There isn't even close to enough proof in the movie. I can't prove that there is two, I just have that opinion.

Also, there seems to be a common trend of people saying 'you are stupid'. Gtfo all of you. If you have nothing of worth to post, go elsewhere. Yes I'm new, but at least I'm not acting like a complete asshole on the forum.

Well the movie made up for it because the monster(note: MONSTER) was just as cool.

Yes there is a lot of time missing, WHICH MEANS THAT THE MONSTER DOESN'T FOLLOW THEM. So really the only proof you have that there are two monsters, is that it looks different. And you use extremely poor reasons to back it up. This thread should have been just never replied too, because this theory SUCKS.

I am boarderline tears here. I sit behind my Acer Laptop, staring at the screen blankly looking at the words you posted. And the words you posted make me stupider.

Please see Animaniac's post because that would have been exactly what i would have said. Where do you new guys get off? Not you slushomakesMEhappy im talking to those who feel there are monsters. Where is your proof? Just like guerra001 we are stacked with proof, and Animaniac proved everything you had wrong or at least improbable. Please discredit our evidence and while your reading this please check the sig.

Hmm.. your right.. I just watched Batman Returns again, and theres parts where time passed off camera, and we only ever see were the one Batman is at any one time.. There could be two Batmans!

... err, Batmen..


Just pointing out that that part of your logic is irrelevant to the conversation.

If it doesn't happen onscreen, or is referenced on screen, it didn't happen.
It's only spurious speculation.
That's why it matters that everyone in the movie only referred to it in the singular.

Also, JJ possibly having a second monster in the sequal is also irrelevant for the same reason. Thats the sequal, not this movie.

It's like saying "The Joker might have been in the asylum crowd scenes behind the smoke or off camera where we just couldn't see him, therefore, he was in Batman Returns and will be in the sequel"

I for one agree there may be a second monster in the sequal, but it made no appearance in the first.

Move past a few more pages to where the new convention photos surface and everyone retracts thier comments. The toy is spot on.

Contiuation of pictures! Fire a smart bomb at his ears fox!

Now, say what you will, but I took shots of the monster that were in a LOT of different parts of the movie, and they ALL work.

Any questions?

I think a really good piece of evidence that supports the one monster viewpoint is when the soldier stated, "whatever IT is, IT'S winning". I'm pretty sure the military would know how many skyscraper sized monsters there are running amok before they land choppers, set up bases, etc.

Well this was real fun and all, but i guess the argument is over. Ild like to thank the following for their part in providing the evidence to prove there is only one monster:

Lambo_Diablo_Svtt and his amazing photoshop skills
Animaniac
SlushomakesMEhappy
guerra001
lostgunslinger2
And myself of course
As well as a few others

Ild also like to thank those who particapated but failed to prove their point, there will be a nice consolation gift in the mail for you.

Your very welcome pegassissy...And animaniac proves the best point: Anything not on screen can be speculated, but at the end its just speculation, nothing more, no proof at all

And the toy is cool, especially with those pics of its under belly Lambo provided

Lambo I can see what you are trying to do but the bootleg is still way to dark for comparison. Good points Animaniac's but those points can be overturned as well.

All I am trying to say is stop jumping to conclusions. There is no 100% answer.
