Just guesswork really, it could have been holding onto the head for a while I suppose.

Another good point... Eh I could just picture the Monster almost at the dock then suddenly thinking.

"Wait, I know something that'll REALLY Get their attention. I'll destroy their Liberty figuratively!"

*Swims back to get the head of SoL and LAUNCHES it into NYC*

"Hah! Take that HUMANS!"

Meh

Don't tell me to "quite"(sic) down, I asked a question and got attacked for it, I'm gonna respond to that.

You're an expert on monster psychology are you?

If I need to justify myself, I'm a Film and Television studies student @ University and one of my main focuses is Science Fictions and the horror genre... And well; look @ all recent and classic monster movies IE: Godzilla, King Kong etc.

They sway through the city/cities bashing everything around then not caring whether it's partial or complete annihilation... Except the first thing, the introductory destructive point... It's always complete damage.

As I said it was just a thought and what you have quoted was evidently a question put to the other UF Members. Your blatantly rude response was uncalled for Smile


Strange, I thought it was a valid question. You're saying "surely it would do this", but the only way you could know that is if you know what the monster is like and how it thinks.

Don't be so sensitive.


No... You were nitpicking.

But to answer your first question; being a Film/TV Studies student particularly in the aforementioned subjects and giving the evidence to which I have regarding prior movies featuring monsters - Yes that would make me somewhat an "expert on monster psychology"

You posted a theory and then made an assumption, then you get all pissy when someone calls you on it. It's only a rude question if YOU think it's a rude question. It wasn't intended as rude, but whatever, this is ridiculous.

I just wanted that quoted in case you edited it later.


Why would I want to edit it?

How about you let it go.

I think that he just kind of was swimming towards NYC, saw the statue, and just hit it on his way. Maybe he was PMSing.

Why wouldn't you?

Now lets drop the big quotes, bad attitudes and get back on track. There's IMDB for flame wars.

Because I have no reason to, it's a question, not an eight page, profanity filled flame.

It's 'quiet' not 'quite', just so you know, though I probably shouldn't say that, it'll probably be misconstrued as an attack.

Ah well, whatever.

I was replying to him calling me rude, not his explanation.

 		I Think I've figured it out... The monster climbed OVER Liberty.

If you look @ the photo again there's a huge clawmark up the back of the statue.

I could go with that, but that poster is just advertising really, we don't know what happens to the statue beyond its head being ripped off and thrown into the city.

I wouldn't take the poster as gospel for what's going to happen in the film.

I actually agree w/ you on this and as a film student I should know that movie promo posters are just that, posters which promote/summerise the film.

"There's a monster. SoL's Head is ripped off. Nyc is destroyed"

I think I'm playing the ERA/ARG too hard. Embarassed

Wow, you guys REALLY over analize things here... but I guess that's the point. The way I see it- the picture's flawed anyways. Sunset? Sunrise? that was the first big flaw... The only thing I think we were meant to take from the poster was that something big went into New York and destroyed some buildings. Why it show's the SOL in the poster, so people could make the connection betweent he poster and the teaser.

Just a poster, barely a clue.

 		First off, we see the decapitated body of the statue in the trailer in a helicopter flypast, so the poster does seems to match the state of the statue.

Like many other movies, the poster is a collage of different scenes in the movie, but in this case, they're all taken from the same viewpoint.

I don't think the monster climbed up it, because when we see the monster, it looks like the SOL would be far too small for it to climb. We could be dealing with a rapidly growing monster, of course...

I think it's wrong to assume that the initial explosion is caused by the monster already on land, but we've only got the teaser to go on.
