America's Monster

  Didn't think to see me back so soon? Well, I had nothing better to do but today I bring you America's definitive monster despite if people hate him or not…with out further ado I give you Clover.

  Height: 240-300 ft.

  Weight: 5806.04 Metric Tons

  Length: 1200 ft

  Film Appearance: Cloverfield

 Today I give you Clover…a strange monster in himself since he is not of common lineage to other monsters. Before you go off griping that King Kong was the first monster, he was just a freak of nature where as Clover is something much more than an creature, and his own story is that much more interesting than that of Kongs. It was said by Matt Reeves, director of Cloverfield, that Clover was just an infant and given the stature and analysis given, a fully matured sentient creature could easily triple or quadruple the statistics that I have provided. Also it must be noted that Clover is not, I mean NOT, an alien, he is an unknown amphibious life form.
  Though his abilities are severely limited, he does have:
            extremely thick skin or hide
           Incredible tolerance to high pressure as he does originate from most likely a deep undersea           crevasse          
           great physical strength
           immense endurance to human weaponry.
  Since the monster depicted in film was an infant, it garnered a unique defense/attack system that not many other monsters have, that is the ability to carry human scaled parasitic life forms. These parasites are something that will kill without having a hard time. The bite wound inflicted by these creatures have some type of unknown bacteria that if entered to a foreign body, will devastate the victim from the inside out. There isn't much of a detailed analysis of the bacteria itself but it attacks everything in the body and it kicks in only minutes after the bite from the parasite. The victim will experience severe nausea, weakness, lower motor functions, and then will develop blood coming from the nose, eyes, and ears before imploding outwards.

One parasite that comes from Clover.

  In terms of the film, there were a lot of things that we had to engage our brain, in which most likely was the cause for the dislikes for the film but none the less it had valuable hints and clues. (SPOILER) At the end of the film, after the credits, you hear a very static voice saying, "Help us…" and if you play it backwards you hear, "It's still alive…" I personally believe that Clover is still alive, he was hit and peppered by many rockets, artillery, tank shells, missiles, and a carpet bombing. They never found a body, that is enough to make me believe he is still alive.

  Above is the hidden message from the end of the film if you don't believe me, but anyways thank you for stopping by and another post will be up soon. Got questions? Monsters? I'm all ears, until then, I will catch you next time.
