[SPEC] Theories on what rouses the creature?

[Stumper67]

I think the Seabed Nectar being of some importance physiologically to the monster is a sound and likely theory.

I don't know but I would think that Slusho actually has very little to do with the story. I think the Slusho websites have been giving us little clues but as for the drink itself, it just seems cheesy. I mean here we have this trailer which looks to be some sort of monster/parasite/emotional drama movie and then its all about a drink? I hope they don't explain much about it. My wish is that you get very few glimpses of the beast, and that you don't know anything that the characters don't. They will probably pay homage to Slusho in the form of Hawk's shirt or perhaps a Slusho machine but I really hope its not a sweet nectar that makes Slusho is a creature who is mad, who kills people because it wants its juice back. I think that would be cheesy

Tagruato drilling probably.

and btw, since the entire movie will probably be handheld, we will probably not see any scenes of japan, tagruato, or the slusho factory.

I firmly believe that seabed's nectar is indeed a major plotline. They've invested too much into it already, and hints from the movie tell us that much at least. The fact that hazmat teams are trying to extract whatever is inside of people (expanding slusho, slusho critters, slusho transforming people, whatever), and they are bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose etc, points to something ingested. And that hint from someone still comes to mind from an "insider" when this was all new. That people are drinking something, and the creature is attracted to those who have drunk it. They said they extracted that from the script.

I'm guessing they are trying to formulate some ideas that justify a creature rampaging a city other than they have some historic beef with said cities, ala Godzilla and Co.

Think about it...

Godzilla= Animal Created/Mutated by nuclear power in Japan. Why nuclear? That's what was appropriate at that time.

Cloverfield= Animal created/mutated by deep sea drilling and excavation for CAPITALIST reasons. Why? Oil drilling? Fuel Prices? Zany Energy drinks popping up ALL the time.

This movie is saying: If a situation like godzilla (Man tampering with nature.) this is how it would occur in america. THIS IS AMERICAS EQUIVILANT TO GODZILLA. Ironic how a zany drink marketed by japan causes such a "Large" problem.

I think that Slusho's main purpose was to create some excitement and give us a clue that it CAME from the ocean. This is further evidenced by the poster, and now Tagruato. I think Tagruato's clue is that maybe it came from deep-sea drilling, which would have roused the creature and pissed it off. That's WAY more explanation than you'd need for a monster movie.

And to some of you, just listen to yourself - Hazmats EXTRACTING SLUSHO FROM PEOPLE?! What about the supposed virus that the monster is spreading? Do you think they might be interested in that instead of harvesting human beings for "seabed nectar"

Gimme a break, people, be realistic. o.o

^Hooo, nelly. Okay, so that leaves my only gripe being 'movie logic', as you so pointed out, rhesus. It's not a good gripe, so that leaves me open to anything.
