I'm gonna go Occam's Razor and assume that if there's a giant monster and a giant explosion, the one caused the other. I could be wrong, but any other cause is going to need exposition, and I think this film is going to keep that sort of thing to a minimum.

Or, I don't know, it could be the explody monster from planet Boom. What do I know?

eh just doubled check myself, a little bit of the back of the statues head is still there but my theory is still pretty cool me thinks. Also the shape of the neck makes me think that the monster stood in front of it looking at the SOL face to face, so what it might have done was grabbed her by the back of the head(or back where the marks are) and pulled down. This would cause the open claw marks on its back and explain why the neck of the head is a V shape.


Its not majorly important I think but it does say a lot about the monster. It has confrontation instincts....which I guess any territorial creature would.

But I still firmly believe that the head bounced before it reached Robs place. I dunno if it bounced and caused the explosion and was then blown away because that's going too far into physics and I'm not feeling that right now, but from all the explinations of why the head came at such an angle, mine makes the most sense.

Wait, was it completely proven the the monster threw it and not just like carried some way and then threw.

If I was a huge monster,I'd be all chill and nonchalantly walk through the city with the SOL head in my hands. Just so they know what they are dealing with before I eat them.

wellll

[Deren-kun]

Good point. I hope he is as cool as we are imagining him.

[Oniduo]

Yeah, I've been thinking about this for awhile, been waiting for someone else to mention this but no one has, that I know of at least. If JJ is comparing this beast to be on the Gojira or Cthulu level then it has to be something pretty cool.....though I dont want to set my sights too high for exactly what it looks like. I'd be happier to know just "WHAT" It is.

There was a similar question on the Ethan Haas Cloverfield Diaries, which i joined after EHWR was discovered to be unrelated.

Anyways, in my response, i brought up the fact that, in the trailer, the cameraman and the group all manage to go from the top of a relatively tall building, to the ground floor in seconds. This is because... the camera is flickering on and off. The same thing might be applicable for when they go UP to the roof *however, we do not know what floor the party was being held on.* Back to my main point though, The sequence of events in the trailer does NOT last a mere 1 and a half minutes. Because of the camera cutting in and out at some points, we completely loose all sense of time, therefore making it impossible to know how long it was between the initial roar, and when the SoL head was flung through the air.

It could have been up to an hour for all we know, in that time a huge monster would MORE then be able to walk back to the SoL and either swat, rip and throw, or otherwise propel the head into a building.

Just an observation i made but never saw mentioned.

[Oniduo]

Ohhh I see exactly what you mean. It could quite possibly be roaring at the .....crap I confused myself. Uh... *starts over*




We know the 'roar' came first. then second came the explosion and third was the SOLH being thrown or bounced, w.e. If we want a good time comparison we could use the pictures. I dont remember what time the news said in the preview....little too sleepy to look too but at least I threw out that hypothesis. Theres a lot of possibilities. Could be two beasts, could be one ninja beast. If it walked from the SOL surely someone would have had to have seen it wander through the city and the thumps of its footsteps. Godzilla even had thumps. So maybe the beast roared at the SOL as maybe a challenge and took off its head. (Thinking as an animal would for territory and took the head as a trophy??) Then as you said the time lapse from the party goers leaving the apartment to go to the roof could have been in a limited amount of time depending on what floor they were on. Possibly by then the beast had ninja'd his way to the unaware new yorkers and something happened to cause the explosion. Again a time lapse as the people run out to the street which could be assumed that it took them less time to get to the street. Then the SOLH is bounced or thrown into their street. :\


Too many possibilities and numbers for this >.< I'm better at hypothesis' for this kind of thing, you guys do the technical stuff. :p


Something else, what would make the creature leave the city to go attack the SOL?
