I think I saw Fall Out Boy running from the monster.

Uh-oh, the Tukmol monster is back...

For one thing I think Jack is in LA when he gets back in the US, so he's very far from New York.

If a wish was granted to Ben and of course when wrong like all the others, yes then, a monster would just appear out of nowhere. This would explain it suddenly falling out of the sky and hitting the sea. It didn't come from space, it was created out of thin air and sent to Earth to wreck havoc.

But here's the thing you're missing; while fantastic things are happening in both Lost and Cloverfield, there's not a whole lot of fantasy. For example: the Island seems to heal people, but then we learn that they've been doing genetic testing there as well, so we can say that it's not magic, but the water or the air or the soil.
Or looking at Cloverfield, we already have a very strong notion that something is rotten in the sea bed because of all the viral marketing with Tarugato and Slusho!. Yes, it may all be red herrings (the alien theory, for example, suggesting so), but the amount of time and money and work put into everything--from a simple business standpoint--suggests to me that there's no possible way a Hollywood company would pump thousands of dollars into stuff that's nothing more than a simple lie to distract fans.

The idea that there is a genie on the Lost island has absolutely no credence. There is nothing that even remotely suggests such a thing; you'd be better off trying to find a wish-granter from Hindu mythology. As it stands, the theory is intrinsically broken in that the only way it could be plausible is if JJ simply deus-ex-machina'd everything in both Colverfield and Lost, and we can all say for absolute certain that he and his writers are clearly better than this.

Besides, you haven't actually suggested anything with any sort of proof besides the invoking of said ridiculous deus-ex-machina.

or maybe Ben wished for Locke's dad to appear and he did. A few minutes before that scene, he talks about how the island is like a box that can grant you anything you want. It might also explain that girls cancer that was fixed.

I'm telling you Jacob could very well be a genie and the Cloverfield monster was just one of his wishes going bad.

But I'm saying--as a writer and whatnot--that having 'you get free wishes!' as the way everything in your universe works is CRAP and that JJ wouldn't do it. There's no evidence, it doesn't make sense, and it is--when all is said and done--lamer than Hannah Montana. You could apply this theory to any show that uses similar tools of suspense.

Also; Ben flat-out says that the wishing is a METAPHOR (or was it an analogy? Either way, this is enough to kill your theory.)
