This theory has been brought up... I dunno. About 10 - 20 times here. And I don't think there's much to it. Plus, the number 666 is significant to Christians not Jews.

JJ verified a completely original monster, so speculation on what that monster is is essentially useless.

So, no Behemoth.

Could just mean it's not a pre-existing IP. I personally wouldn't count out mythological creatures.

That said, I've never really bought this theory in any way, and it doesn't jive with Slusho.jp which seems to foreshadow of Lovecarf-esque biological monster from the depths of the sea.

Given that JJ has flat out said he would never use religion in his projects, that seems to completely debunk this theory.

Except you're making the error of presuming that if it did have any religious connotations (which it does not), that it's automatically gonna be a jewish or christian religion, particularly yall's obsession with revelations, as opposed to any other one with more contextual relevance....given all the Japanese elements.

We did this already.

You might see a jesus revelations theme behind anything suspected to be religious in nature but there isn't any religion going on with slusho or 1-18, not even veiled...and there's been a pretty clear guideline on how to root it out: lateral thinking. Look at what's in front of you and just follow that. After nearly a month, not the first thing in this entire evolution has been encoded or veiled or hidden or obscured. It's ALL been in plain sight, in your face, on the table with its own glaringly simple relevance and association. At no point has it indicated any religious thing.

Why don't you see your suspicious veiled religious elements as being about Taoism or Buddhism or Shinto or Confucianism?

You've got a frame around ya on this one that's got zero evidence suggesting anything religious....with one exception you ignore in favor of needing it to be otherwise and that is the little Buddha statue on the sushi table in the trailer. If you're going with religion, go there. FIRST.

And if that hits a wall, chances are about 100% so will any other one for obvious reasons.

What is it about? It's about an American style monster that ravages NY and we get the story after the fact by way of discovered camera footage.

What kinda monster, based on what has been given? Huge, alive, organic (not a robot) and likely some sort of mutant something or another that has something to do with the slusho mystery ingredients or mining for them...with at least a contextual potential for it to have originally come from space and fallen into the sea and its disturbance was part of the "it's alive" part.

That's what we've been given. Why must it be convoluted into some religious apocolyptic thing when nothing at all points to it outside the typical kneejerk western religious mentality presuming anytime there's shit blowing up and roaring and tearing up stuff, it's bound to be some biblical thing about the end of the world?

Not the end of the world....cause there's people finding cameras after shit happens in NY...so if anything, it's end of NY's world.
