[SPEC] What if ends up being a Comedy?
... or at least partly so.

... or do you think there will be any humor in this at all?

... or just straight up realistic ch@0s and ph34r.

i'd like to see some comedy right in the heart of all the chaos, maybe in a quiet bit.

for example, when they think the monsters gone. Then all of a sudden it comes back with a big roar and they go "ooops there it is again lol LMAO!"

i dunno it would make it even more surreal then the horses in central park.

Some romance wouldn't go amiss, although i don't anticipate it moreso then the comedy. comedy is a must have

I've seen the teaser again and imagined canned laughter.
Creepy...
E.g. "Do you want to film it from the roof?" <hahahahaha> ""What animal is so huge? (haha) Very disturbing" (hahaha!)

Shocked

If it were a comedy I'd walk out.

Then again if it's just so bad that it's laughable... I'd probably laugh my way through it. Just like I did through Titanic, much to everyone's annoyance.

The cliffhanger ending: the monster just turns out to be a Slusho!-craving Whoopi Goldberg.

I'm guessing (or hoping anyway) that the only funny line in the whole movie will be Rob saying "yeah, you're like my main dude." Once the shit hits the fan, I'm thinking it will be "insane and intense" for the rest of the movie. To inject comedy into realistic footage of a disaster that can't help but be reminiscent of 9/11 wouldn't really work. Maybe a throw away line here and there, to relieve some tension, but that's all I can see fitting with that style.
