One thing that frequently annoys me about deep sea creatures is how common it is for them to "have a very thick carapace" or "have really tough skin" because they "have to resist a lot of pressure". When humans go very deep, we need this kind of protection, because our internal pressure is the atmospheric one, so we need to stop all that pressure to get to us, but a creature that lives in that kind of pressure has that internal pressure, it is balanced, so there is no pressure diferencial between inside and outside for it's skin to resist. Actually, for those creatures to go to the surface, then they would need a pressurised aquarium to keep them alive. Take a look at the blob fish to see what I'm talking about.

[@eligreg99]

Yeah but I don’t think the same logic applies to creatures the size of buildings. Also it’s a movie so applying real logic to it is silly.

[@thomasfplm]

@@eligreg99, in this case they could simply jump the explanation. If you give an explanation that doesn't work it just takes away from the suspension of disbelief.

Yes look at jelly fish and blob fish and siphonophores. They literally explode when they get too close to the surface because they depend on the pressure for existence.

As an Air Force member for 19 years and counting, it always drove me crazy with the military basically causing NO damage to Clover, despite hitting it with HEAVY munitions and small arms fire throughout the night, including a direct hit from a carpet bombing run. Its so frustrating from any logical sense since it is a biological creature regardless of how strong it is.

[@carlosguillen5683]

Some people can't imagine the destructive power that the military has

[@thedarkcorrupter]

I had the same issue, I enjoyed the movie but taking rounds and bombs that can level a city block without visible damage just irritated the hell out of me. Then again many in entertainment just think of tank guns and other military hardware as blow up machines and nothing else. They don't know tanks fire darts for armor piercing work and they don't know anti tank missiles can pierce heavily into inches of solid steel or the fact that bombers never fly that low to deliver a payload. But it sure is pretty I'll give em that

They ruined the third part by trying to be woke and push all kinds of agendas into the movie. Plus a lot of things happened randomly which couldn't be explained. Like gyroscope being found later inside that dude's body. if the gyroscope was transferred soon after they used the Quantum leap thing then that guy should have died on the spot after the process was done. there's no way he could have lived after having his organ replaced with a gyroscope. And all those random horror phenomenons happening without any logic or explanation behind it. Like the metal acting like a live alien tentacle monster.

[@ianmorin8017]

I wish Cloverfield Paradox actually dealt with the monster itself more. I understand it came from the dimensional portal or whatever they created but it just didn’t connect in my opinion. Same with 10 Cloverfield Lane. The first one is great tho. They should do a thing with this, I guess they already did it, where all the sequels are in the same timeline with the monster but it just shows how it effects all these different stories.

[@stopthink9000]

This movie had some amazing scenes. The decapitation of the Statue of Liberty, the tank firing on the side street flanked by soldiers, the couple hiding under the bridge were iconic.

[@Archer89201]

It looked like JDAMs

[@drigomagistriarma7983]

@@Shanbo26 Within film logic, it simply looked cool to send a stealth bomber because it has a cool design to show off. Within a possible in-universe explanation, they probably literally just sent in any available jet with a bomber design ready on the go, and probably that stealth bomber was one of the few things available. Frankly a bigger complaint to be made is, outside of the chosen ammunition, the fact that it moves in VERY danger close to the bombs its dropping, usually jets fitted with bombs and various other explosive ordinance engage a given enemy position from kilometres far up in the skies, using laser guided technology to stream in the upmost accurate bombing possible with the least risk of being shutdown by enemy AA, only when they do strafing runs with their main guns they start to move in relatively close to their targets. I presume that if such a creature were to be engaged "somewhat" realistically, it would be with an incessant stream of explosive ordinance sent in by jets and drones, the US Airforce has loads of this stuff to send off nearly at any moment, without counting ground missiles fired from safe positions.

[@ws4835]

@@Shanbo26 good point. I assumed it was because the bomber was the only thing available with the capacity for the payload. Considering that the other jets were likely either overseas in other parts of the world or they were already in the airspace and trying to target the monster with whatever munitions they have. Maybe the bomber was the only thing available and could be loaded up with enough ordinance to drop in a run while other large capacity planes were used to evacuate the area.

I always felt like "found footage" films were cheap, but Cloverfield managed to not feel cheap-- but still looked like it. Hard to imagine that now with how cameras have all these anti-shaking systems, the shaky-cam is unrealistic.

[@dc-iq2bi]

I applaud the creators’ creativity to keep coming up with different ways to go along with these movies. Each movie appeals to a different genre. 1st was found footage action and horror with a strong emphasis on growing characters, 2nd was a physiological thriller that played with your mind with also an emphasis on character, and the 3rd was a space action movie with (most importantly) some more backstory to the monsters. They all brought something new to the table, which is why someone could like one of these but not the other. I personally liked the 1st and 2nd better because they were more original ideas imo but I see why the 3rd one was necessary as it basically explained everything that was needed to understand this universe better, for the average viewer that hasn’t read into the lore. I highly recommend though that you definitely watch 1 and 2 BEFORE 3 since you will probably be confused watching it and thus end up not liking it as much because you didn’t understand it. All in all, the cloverfield series has a really good take on the “sequel” premise with originality not seen in other franchises. If you take in the fact that these movies are’t really meant to be compared between each other in terms of action or other factors, I can guarantee you that you will have a much funner time watching these movies. 1 and 2 are really top tier original cinema though imo :)

I fondly remember keeping up to tabs with 1/18/08 news back in the day and all the slusho marketing it was all great

[@Sonics1DiscordKitten]

Cloverfield was such a fun movie, but god damn was 10 Cloverfield Lane incredible

[@user-xj3mo2lx9z]

the cloverfield paradox is way better than 10 cloverfield lane.

[@aeringothyk5445]

I love all of them for unique reasons each. I think that’s why I like the franchise so much. Each entry could stand on its own as a unique story. They don’t rely on each other much.

[@nickgoode8579]

@@user-xj3mo2lx9z are you smoking crack? 10 clover field lane was brilliant. Best film of 2016 imo. Probably John Goodmans best work. The clover field paradox is pure crap.

[@WhatAreYouNew]

​@@nickgoode8579 i just watched cloverfield and the cloverfield paradox back to back and paradox is indeed a flaming pile of crap. It's so bad that I didn't realize I already watched it until the "arm scene" -- still didn't remember a thing till it got to her crying about stopping everything and holding "her" family -- the movie is so bad, my brain somehow pushed it from my memory

[@trevorstockwell8290]

I think the original 50s thing from another world would be a good idea. Technically it's a multiverse type creature, its implied that its from another earth. Ur voice makes ur vids even better, keep up the great work

[@multiyapples]

I actually enjoyed the Cloverfield series. I remember the 1-18-08 trailer in theaters.

[@CubYall]

Thanks for continuing the great content. There was nothing to watch today!

[@filmcomicsexplained]

No worries! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@dczkr]

Rewatched this movie recently, got me thinking, 1 how good of a found footage movie it is, and 2 how did such a horrifying monster for 2008 become what it is.

[@Dud3itsj3ff]

I get why people hate the shaky cam, but I absolutely love it! Quarantine is kinda similar if I remember correctly.. loved it then too!

[@mikeokeeffe4692]

I had bought this film from a bargain dvd stall a month ago and was planning on watching it in half an hour. This popping up on my feed was surreal.

[@Ghidorah_Stan64]

You should do a video on the 2016 film Shin Godzilla, it’s another kaiju movie with a lot of mystery behind the monster as well.

[@lawmansama]

i was one of those who got sick watching this,, i never threw up but 20 min in i had to close my eyes and just listen to the rest of the movie. i would have left but i was with friends.

[@Mavve69]

The only thing about this that is really unrealistic (expect the gigantic monster) is how would a animal that huge survive, like what would it eat?

[@kchuckles1]

Whales? And other unidentified sea creature maybe

[@Mavve69]

@@kchuckles1 would have to eat a lot of whale, probably constant eating… which would probably be noticed right?

[@pavlosilva]

Great video! Cloverfield is one of my favourite movies ever. The amazing marketing campaing brings me back a lot of memories of that year and how every little piece of information was being tracked by fans. I hope someday we get that the so-called "true sequel"

[@TheRealCake]

Idk why but this movie is the only one where I’m genuinely uncomfortable and freaked out while watching it

[@murfdog19]

Well, the fact that the monster is a scared little baby changes everything!!

[@devmag52]

I am always said that Abrams has ability to make good original content. Outside of his tendency for lack of payoff on them notwithstanding, far superior to when he takes the reins of pre-existing franchises. He should leave those alone

[@elitealice]

Man I remember going to see this with my dad back in 08 and being horrified. This was back when found footage films were so new and fresh and it just made the whole experience so much more terrifying.

The scene where a monster bursting out of the woman's body still haunts me to this day... it was really disturbing...

If we can get another Cloverfield sequel/proper franchise based on this original story, then we can all get proper amnesia to make us forget the following sequels went totally awry.

[@arch1107]

i herd one of the sequels was decent, but if you say they are better forgotten, perhaps a proper sequel should be done, but would be very different, and perhaps that is why they never did it

The US military (any well-equipped modern military, really) would have made very short work of that monster. Hypervelocity tank rounds, high-explosive anti-tank rounds, air-dropped ordinance, precision-guided munitions, I mean come on. That monster had no chance once it was caught out in the open.

[@plainluke722]

Or if the skin is really that strong, then shoot inside the mouth. I bet that would hurt like crazy and kill it for sure.

This gets me excited for the Cloverfield sequel movie wondering how they are going to Use CGI for the monster

[@fightthegoodfight52]

I really enjoyed this movie as I thought the first person filming approach was cool! Add to that, the scary elements of Clover, the parasites and limited details of the movie made it a joy to watch on the big screen! I also enjoyed 10 Cloverfield Lane also. 😀

[@BlankEmporium]

Look, guys, here's the real question: Is the Cloverfield monster a extradimensional entity as the latest movie implies, or is it still just a big fish?

[@TheAmazingAdam]

A big fish/Deep Sea Creature. The third movie made no sense at all and tried to kill the first movie's origin for Clover.

[@zockerking2061]

But its Canon. So in facts the Monster came out of a "Portal"

[@scottkelly1685]

First time I watched Cloverfield I was mesmerized. The second time I kept shouting at the TV, "Hud, put the blasted camera down and help your friends!"

[@AshXXMayftw]

I love Clover as what's basically an American kaiju, but damn does it disappoint me that there's been little done with it. What has happened since the original movie? The cameo in Paradox? I think there were a few comics? That's about it. Squandered potential in my books.
