But remember, the manga shows several Tagruato freighters heading in the same direction, with three of them chained to something under the water.<BR/><BR/>My theory is that while this creature has been down there for thousands of years, as Abrams said, Tagruato discovered it and took it to Chuai for research and experimentation. There's been a lot of emphasis in the viral campaign on Seabed's Nectar, so I suspect that it's part of the reason the creature is as big as it is.<BR/><BR/>In short, Tagruato found this ancient creature, took it to Chuai, and experimented. Creature mutated, escaped, and destroyed Chaui. A lot of what happened after that can only be speculated about. All we know is that for some reason, it headed for Manhattan, and had apparently run into the Navy on the way. This prior encounter could have led to a warning being sent to the mainland, which would explain how the military could get up such sizable forces so quickly.WolfgangDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271667892871517858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-32161903337094172162008-02-14T11:25:00.000-05:002008-02-14T11:25:00.000-05:00Actually, if there is another film, odds are Tag/T...Actually, if there is another film, odds are Tag/TIDO will still be updated...Master Fettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479931614446540525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-47593833967020923542008-02-14T10:22:00.000-05:002008-02-14T10:22:00.000-05:00Me said...

Why would they go dark on 1/18/08 if the monster attacked on May 22-23? Or it could be that something happened that no one can get on.

The Chuai scientists used Seabed's Nectar on it.<BR/><BR/>The Nectar has some pretty positive effects on humans, like smoother skin, increased strength, and sharper eyesight. It could be that the substance mutated the creature completely, causing it to grow much faster- and much larger- than it should have. The creature escaped, destroyed Chuai Station, and then headed to New York, probably disoriented and trying to get back home.<BR/><BR/>What do you think?WolfgangDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271667892871517858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-25190612115623574652008-02-13T11:32:00.000-05:002008-02-13T11:32:00.000-05:00Many people have said that before, but I hope your...Many people have said that before, but I hope your right...Master Fettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479931614446540525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-69095270902866625802008-02-12T18:56:00.000-05:002008-02-12T18:56:00.000-05:00Just a thought here that seems to make pretty good...Just a thought here that seems to make pretty good sense, well at least to me it does. Couldn't it be that the Cloverfield DVD will be coming out in May? I mean, it takes a while for a movie to go through the movie theater, and then through cheepy movie theaters after that, and then a few months later it's out on DVD. <BR/><BR/>When the Rob Zombie version of Halloween was made, it came out in August and wasn't out on DVD till December, in time for Christmas. That was four months after it's debut in theaters. Just think, Cloverfield came out in January. Four months after that is May. And what's the date on the movie when Clover attacks? May 22. So I'm guessing we should be getting Cloverfield on DVD May 22?

This would mean that 1-18-08 for us is homologous with 5-23-xx for the characters. In this case april 27 would be 12-22-07 in our time. This would be plenty of time for the bold futura satellite to have awakened/hatched/"spawned" the monster and still have it be able to go and destroy Chuai on 12/27/07.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I think the pictures on 1-18-08.com shed light on why the monster felt agitated enough to rip the head off of the statue of liberty. Particularly the night vision shot.<BR/><BR/>Lastly did anybody else notice the tag on the wall by the two smilies that read "Kings and Gods of OIL." It looks like it is signed TLP to support aaesir's original theory, but if its an homage inserted by the filmmakers it could be a reference to Tagruato (though I'll admit it's pretty weak)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622377144396518727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-46856183046064105612008-02-10T20:44:00.000-05:002008-02-10T20:44:00.000-05:00nick88 said... Ok... wats the whole story about...nick88 said...<BR/><BR/> Ok... wats the whole story about tagruato, the sea bed necter and everythingh else related to that, that i didnt see any reference to in the movie?<BR/><BR/>Well, if you remember, Rob had accepted a job offer that required him to move to Japan. This job involved a popular drink called "Slush-o". That is why his friends were throwing him a going away party.<BR/><BR/>Slush-o is actually a subsidiary of Tagruato, a Japan-based marine drilling company. They discovered "Deep Sea Nectar" and found that it had an amazing taste, and so decided to make it the secret ingredient of their drink.<BR/><BR/>Now, there's some conspiracy going on about this ingredient. An extremist environmentalist group called TIDOwave managed to get their hands on it and one of their members sent the sample to his girlfriend. He also sent a recording explaining everything, but she didn't believe it.<BR/><BR/>In any case, this all has something to do with the Chuai station, an off-shore rig/research station built by Tagruato. It was destroyed completely by the monster, though Tagruato blames TIDOwave. Probably to cover their tracks.<BR/><BR/>In the recording, the TIDOwave boyfriend mentioned that they had "found something, or they're making something."<BR/><BR/>The guys who made Gamera were commissioned by Abrams to write up a four-part prequel manga called "Cloverfield: Kishin". The first part has already been released on the web, with the second part on its way. It implies that there is some connection between a Japanese boy called "Kishin", his mother, and the creature. One of the panels also shows several Tagruato freighters, three of them towing something under the water with chains. The last panel shows a pair of eyes rising out of the water, so it is obviously either the creature or the creature's mother.<BR/><BR/>(It should be noted that one of the definitions for the word "kishin" is "fierce god".)<BR/><BR/>Based on all of this, I have theorized that this creature is a mutation. Tagruato discovered it and took it to the Chuai research station, where they began experimenting on it with Deep Sea Nectar.<BR/><BR/>Deep Sea Nectar is known to cause increased strength, sharper eyesight, smoother skin, and a "wave of pure happiness" in humans. It is unknown what it would do to other animals.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I believe that the people at Chuai were experimenting on the Cloverfield monster with Deep Sea Nectar, causing it to mutate into the huge beast that attacked Manhattan. It escaped from whatever prison they kept it in, continued to grow larger and larger, until it finally escaped into the water. It then destroyed the station in a fit of rage and set out in the direction of New York for whatever reason. It is possible that it only intended to get back home, but home was on the other side of the continent.WolfgangDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271667892871517858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-24371300235879178042008-02-09T17:00:00.000-05:002008-02-09T17:00:00.000-05:00What happened to Jamie Lascano...

The oil rig tanker that was capsized or more like destroyed which I have a theory on that sort of. Was owned by Tagruato, if you look close enough you can see the Tagruato symbol on it when Hud looks at it from the bridge. Also Jason is wearing a Slusho T-shirt those are pretty much the only references to any of it.<BR/><BR/>Also the tanker was capsized first when they were watching it on television then when they went to the roof there was a giant explosion, and then you get to the bridge and the suppoesdly capsized oil tanker is totally decimated and all the oil or supposed oil is on fire. Is it possible this monster followed the oil tanker to the shores of New York? Then to cover up whatever it has inside of it the tanker crew destroyed the Ship. The military didn't get there and start attacking till after the bridge incident. It's all hypothetical but I don't think its just on a rampage for rampages sake. I have other little theories but ive said enough for now. I was thinking this "deep sea nectar" was used for anything other than slusho, put into natural resources because it sounded like they were using it for multiple purposes not just bodily consumption, possibly putting it into oil maybe and its possible it is the monsters diet other than just whales and other snacks such as us.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764223649661686810noreply@blogger.com
