One thing to keep in mind; the monster has to have an opposable thumb. The SOL head was not batted off, it was ripped off and thrown. just take a look at the points on the crown in the trailer. completely bent down, as if it was gripped. i doubt a turtle claw could do that.

It could have been slashed/swatted/clubbed/ or w/e off and still end up with bent crown-spikes...

The thing took a nice little trip, not to the moon, but to the 401 building and then took a nice stROLL down the street. Plenty of opportunities to bend or mangle the head there.

HAHHAHA

it's taken me until NOW to notice that the SOL has four claw marks on it. I never noticed the one that is on her back and perpendicular to the water. XD

But SWEET find. Even if it leads us nowhere, it's pretty interesting.

My input...I took the image, mirrored it, upped the contrast, lowered the brightness, and was startled at how well defined the "face" becomes.

My support for the turtle theory:
- Two turtle like images in one poster? Kinda unlikely. But again, this could be "seeing what you want to see".
- Turtles nest on the shore. This fits some other theories.
- I don't know of a turtle that makes a noise...but it's entirely possible that the "bloop" could be adapted to be a mating call of a giant ass turtle.
- The slash marks on the SoL always looked off to me. Just try and envision taking your hand and grabbing the head of it, pulling up, and making those kind of marks. It just doesn't seem to mesh in my head. But a turtle fin slapping it does seem to make more sense to me. Again, matter of opinion and perception.

My refutes for it being a turtle:
- the odds of something being hidden in this image are pretty slim. And what with the whole "ink blot" idea, it could be entirely a coincidence.
- A turtle isn't likely to attack the SoL. Snapping turtle's can be aggressive, but a giant sea turtle (mutated or not) is not likely to go around fighting giant statues.
- Short of breathing fire, I don't see how a turtle could cause the giant explosions in the trailer. Although, to be honest, I haven't been able to think of any monster aside from a dragon or Godzilla that could.

STOP TAKING CREDIT FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

Okay, just to justify that taking credit from other people is wrong this speculation actually comes from a spanish forum, then it was brought up on the 1-18-08news forums.

PLEASE STATE YOUR SOURCES!

ok first off i don't speak spanish so how the hell could i have gotten this off of there? Second, i never tried to ask for credit nor did i say this was an origonal idea! BUT it was an idea that i came up with for myself and because i didn't see it anywhere else at the time i felt the need to post it.

And HEAVEN FORBID THAT IN THIS VIRAL MARKETING PLAN FOR THIS MOVIE FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON TO COME UP WITH THE SAME IDEA AROUND THE SAME TIME! i NEVER ASKED TO BE NOTED FOR THIS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I SAW IT NOWHERE ELSE IN AMERICA!!!! CAUSE I ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH YOU DOUCHE BAG!


----PLEASE EVERYONE MAKE ME FAMOUS FOR THIS DISCOVERY BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE WORTH VALUE!

THATS THE WAY YOUR MAKING ME LOOK RIGHT NOW SO GO F*#K YOURSELF!

I had no sources. Nobody told me about it. I came up with the idea to mirror it from Attack Of THe Show of G4, when they do the mirrored face promo for the show. And i was like... Hey, what if you mirrored the poster?
If i got it from somewhere else i would've listed sources, but to be honest, anything i read on this movie (sources) are always way ahead of me... i learn from them, and just because i got the same idea as some other person FROM F*&KING SPAIN, doesn't mean that i'm stealing his idea!

F*&ktard!

this is my first post at uF, been lurking since July 5th. Anyways, the mirrored poster is my wallpaper now because it is so cool. I like the turtle theory, but also i noticed that, right in the middle where the poster mirrors, look to the left or right and in the smoke i believe the moster could be there. Of course, the helicopters are way over to the left, so that kind off shoots my theory down. Just an idea.

Can't you see people?! The monster is US.. HUMANS! I knew it all along!



Though, if it is really a turtle, then we better hope that a time-traveling group of teenagers with mild training in various weaponry come to the rescue. Or all hope is lost. Crying or Very sad

Lay off of Ryomi would ya? Take a look on that site you yourself posted. Please tell me where you see... even the smallest reference... to a turtle claw? They all looked for faces, never tryed to look beyond that. Ryomi thought outside the box when he looked at the mirrored image and came up with a decient speculation. So please explain to me what "Glory" and "Credit" he stole? Also, since when is mirroring the poster on your own idea like a crime? who trademarked the mirrored 1-18-08 poster... because it sounds like someone did with the way your talking about it.

Also, when i looked at the next page, my respect for them dropped... they were attempting to look for faces in mirrored images of.... THE FAKE POSTERS... lol.

yeah yeah yeah. . i see your point, I suppose ryomi wasn't trying to get any credit, kinda?. I just have an itch when it comes to stuff like this, but yeah i guess i over reacted? haha. though i didn't over do it like ryomi.

just saying thats where it originated from. never said that it was a good resource.

and yeah that is pretty funny that they tried to check out the fake posters.
