Theory. Could Be Possible. Please Discuss.

[Wakkadude21]

I like it. OMG! It's the Surface Movie!

[McPhearson]

I haven't seen that movie, to be honest. Nevertheless, so far, this theory makes the most sense to me. ... However, I may be bias. It is, after all, my theory.

Yeah, it makes since, but it seems a tad simple if the drilling is the only reason for the monster. JJ seems like he'd go for something more complex than that. I almost wouldn't be suprised to see some sort of Global Warming theme, like Day after Tomorrow with a giant monster instead of an Ice Age.

If he's trying to give us "our own monster", which in my head means a series, I don't think drilling alone makes a good reason for a monster.

[Euchre]

Uh, sure...
Nobody has discussed anything related to this theory ever before.
Not a chance, but what do I know?

[McPhearson]

You could be right there, MJames. Maybe the drilling isn't the only thing behind the Monster's rampage. I was simply trying to bring a connection between Tagruato and "Cloverfield" together.

But global warming? You think he would try to tie that, of all things, in to this?

[keeno_82uk]

came to the same conclusion myself.

I thought when i saw the deep sea drilling page that the company must have awoken the beast either by stealing its "mojo" to make slusho or just irritated it (maybe even killed one of it's kind).

I see ppl talking about global warming... maybe the deep sea creature has been entombed in ice for ages and was melting, but the drill ensured it's escape by breaking the ice? Or just woke up once the ice melted to find neighbours making that awful noise and went to investigate lol

[McPhearson]

Well, as Euchre rather bluntly pointed out, this has been something he's been discussing for a long time, this being a "whale" of sorts (though he later says that such a theory is flawed because of size versus oxygen consumption).

My theory has less to do with "What this friggin' thing is", so much as it has to do with what you, Keeno, were saying: how and why it came to attack the Big Apple. I was simply thinking of a way to tie Slusho!, the deep sea nectar, and "Cloverfield" together; this was the theory that made the most sense to me. After all, it's been said that the MySpace pages were established, so as to allow us to watch as the characters slowly reach the Night-In-Question. Do not be surprised if Rob mentions a Chuai in a blog in the coming months.

[Euchre]

Heh, don't take it too hard.
I don't so much rule out that it could be prehistoric, just that it'd have to be dormant in a way that would mean it wouldn't need oxygen. Think of the frozen mammoths that have been found, but in this case the creature would have to have avoided actually freezing yet not suffer decay. The depths of the ocean alone can do that to some degree. Maybe the DSI is what helped preserve our beasty, or is what allows the creature to revive and rise again from the depths?

How about this... from my other thread in case no one bothered to check it out :

[keeno_82uk]

aaah, so these deep sea creatures gulp down the slusho rejuvinating ingredient, mutating them because they have overdosed the six limit, making them abnormal and able to surface the ocean, evolving and seeking new prey then that of what it was used to on the ocean floor, us humans. Sounds plausable.

but, i'm guessing the special ingredient is in liquid form (how else would these deep sea creatures ingest the ingredient). If so, it would not have the density to fall back to the bottom of the ocean, unless its density was greate then that of water. (excuse my science)

seems like a good theory though

[rjharris1960]

What about this theory

[tinytim]

Re: What about this theory

[mw03]

i'm thinking the dude is a chef working on ways to get this DSI into stuff other than drinks, hence the new picture. however, he also happens to be a new yorker where the attack happens, so it's a nice way for the writers to tie the different plot lines together.
