What happens if you shoot a grizzly from out of nowhere? does it sit around and try to find you, or does it run away?

I personally do not believe that the creature was captured by Tagruato, but that it was created by Tagruato with the use of the "special ingredient" - Slusho. To me, that is what all of the viral sites have been pointing to. Tagruato and its subsidy Yoshida Medical specialize in tampering with bio engineering, specifically and particularly with oceanic biology.

And if the Kishin comic book has any bearing on the story, then Tagruato is obviously controlled by/run by a cult whose intent is to destroy the "unworthy" of the world with the creature. Why the creature attacked the Chuin station, I don't know, but I seriously doubt that the creature was being imprisoned there. If it was, it obviously escaped. Or it is possible that it had already been let loose and it was drawn to the station because of the Slusho which the station was collecting from the ocean floor. In other words, something backfired. The creature then went on its way, as apparently directed by the cult leaders, to begin its assault on the world, begining first in NYC.

The real question is where the parasites came from, because they certainly couldn't be related to the creature. They must be another creation of Tagruato's genetic tampering.

That's just my take on the story.

Well, except that JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves have both said MGP is a baby that has been down there at the bottom of the ocean for thousands of years.
The first mention in a topic, credited to JJ Abrams:

And the source it cites:

And the corroboration in an interview with Matt Reeves, first appearing in this topic:

And the article that refers to:

Now I encourage all newcomers to use Search a bit, and/or use the Cloverfield: Reference / Press / Questions forum to ask a few questions about things or browse it for information. Trouting is to politely point you to the origin of the discussion, even if some people forget to Play Nice and include harsh jabs with it. (Hint: That's a polite way of telling some folks to ease up on the new folks.)

I believe clover was at the bottom of the ocean FROZEN (sleeping, dormant, hibernating,) in his amniotic sac Which if at 10,000 m below the surface it probably was a big frozen block. Tagruato took samples and that is what SLUSHO! is but didn't realize exactly what they were tampering with.

So either they drilled all of his amniotic substance and woke him, uncovered him he was free to swim away.

OR if the comic is canon (I love that word now, a totally new word in my vocab. since i've joined the forum.) I really think the satellite contained the pod which kept him dormant and in control. (We may soon see Kishin captured in the 4th pt. and the pod removed and Ganu puts it in the satellite to keep clover asleep and use it for whatever purposes $$$.)

Now, in the transcript it says the eco-terrorists had (static) ware... I'm guessing software. TIDO wave can obviously hack so maybe they took the satellite down with a malacious virus to stop tags production but unknowingly woke clover.

And thats what we see at the end of the movie... The satellite crashing in the ocean. Then a tagruato tanker goes to recover the pod east of NY city clover is in hot pursuit since he is connected. and thus the movie starts...

Why do you think Ganu was in NY city that day? to get his precious pod back personally. But Clover is just to fast. and badass... I'm done!

Anyone have the link to the news videos of the chuin station? I saw them on YouTube, but I'm looking for the site where they are featured.

BTW, would anyone like to tell me where my WANTED picture was moved to?
