How would the world react?
Any chance of surviving the parasite quarantine in real life?

I think and hope it is going to kick off the new age of heroes, as long as my part in it is one I want. Starting most likely with creatures, large and small, followed by their creators and other high powered beings.
World will become something great, if so. It makes sense, as well. Theoretically, beings who can live for long periods of time would probably sleep for weeks, months, years, decades etc at a time to avoid getting bored. Many of them are also probably very powerful.

>>17745489
Sorry, but not happening buddy. Square cube law, the creatures bones would shatter under it's weight.

what if it had titanium carbon nano tube alloy bones?

Bump for genuine interest.

>I ponder the possibility all the time, maybe to an unhealthy extent.

To answer, the world would erupt into chaos. Expect a complete social/cultural shift. We'd have to ban together as a species to prevent total destruction but of course with a massive amphibious "alien" creature showing up religion is going to fall to shit which means war. I don't think there's anything in religious text (excluding Lovecraftian work as religious text) that says a kaiju will emerge from the Hudson River and spew its children about the land.

No chance anyone that aren't the "elite" will survive. Better locate John Goodman.

>>17745489
the creature is to large to survive in the modern worlds low oxygen atmosphere. its not global warming shit there is simply less oxygen then there was over time in the atmosphere

is it has a alternate method like being anaerobic maybe but anaerobic life forms have low metabolisms generally like a function that would normally take minutes taking a thousand years estimated at worst

maybe if it was fueled by chemical reactions in a interesting way that allowed it to not need gases at all it could happen but still scale simply makes it less realistic because it would need more of specific substances that your probably not going to find out and about in a city and eating people probably isnt going to cut it

>>17745747
I'want to write down the lore of the monster.
According to JJ Abrams,the monster came from the ocean and it was summoned by a satelite that hit it.The Slusho drink in the film has an ingredient that attracts him (seabed nectar or something).The Cloverfield monster can be taken down with a nuke,but the parasites could survive.
>>
>>17745808
The monster is controlled by an angst filled, teenage Japanese boy.
This is canon.
>>
>>17745489
Imagine a slow, gigantic creature living in the depths of the ocean. Surviving by consuming blue whales and the like (the bigger, the better). Comes out of there, because its food supply is dwindling...
>>
>>17745835
Follow the legitimate lore.

What about something like the monster from The Host?
>>
>>17745871
More plausible but still highly unlikely. There should already be something on our waters that is that big and carnivorous to even toy with the idea of it being semi-aquatic. You could say that there is such a being in the Marianas Trench or something like that but it's even more unlikely that they would have adapted to pray on land. And even if all these were met, still probably would be easily killable.
>>
>>17745489
there is already a conspiracy underway
Satan and Young Thug are both tentacle monsters who steal lives by killing people and hijacking bodies, or buying souls, effectively taking bodies over and they are currently amassing a one-minded army - The Revelation 17:13.

Their ultimate goal is to enact the NWO agenda and kill off all of the Believers and make Hell on earth.

They are tired of watching us have fun.

three things would happen immedialtey, if a giant monster, or a large amount of monsters, suddenly happening-ed somewhere:
>religious zealots would martyr themselves to it/them
>idiots would attack it/them and die
>mass suicide out of fear/despair
some governments (Iran/Korea/China) would claim they created it
other governments (USA/Russia/China/Israel) would say they'll kill it
it's probably in fucking Colombia but still
would we kill it?
We have weapons to microwave a persons brain from 100 yards away. Yes. It would die.
But I mean, fucktons of death
in a pacific rim scenario where they keep coming, we'd find a weak spot, that's what humans do, we find weak spots and exploit them because we're lazy
and we'd keep killing them or finding better ways to kill them
by the end, there would be like 100 million people left
but eh
humanity would survive most likely
but scary monsters are just size, and usually not smart

The Cloverfield monster isn't taller to reach a plane flying,but it could jump like it did in that helicopter scene.

What if it's parasites survive?

Hey man, they paid for it. That makes it legitimate.
>>
>>17745489
Making that scenario "Possible" would require some serious science. After all, this beast is like 200 feet tall. How it even stands up is beyond me. But it's probably not impossible.

As for what would happen, most of the major Religions would piss their pants. Especially Christianity.
Then the major governments would also piss their pants, but put on a new pair and turn it into swiss cheese and, depending on how much damage it does, radioactive ash. Then the governments try to rebuild the now collapsed economy.
Scientifically, study of the creature's biology would probably lead to significant advances in medicine and armor, due to it's extreme resistance.
During the fallout, everybody would be paranoid of another creature. The world's military's would be drastically increased in size. Submarines and warships would escort cargo ships. And larger cities would have walls of cannons and ships around them.

TL;DR Everybody loses their shit and the Military gets infinite money.
>>
>>17747396
this is it, basically. A few years after the attack, people would mostly forget it, but it'd have an impact on the entertainment industry and there'd probably be a memorial or something. Whoever was president of the US when this thing was killed, if it was killed on american soil, would probably be reelected.
>>
>>17745513
No. A large deep sea creature could have evolved to have strong features due to its environment. Not to mention it had been genetically modified.
>>
>>17747514
It would never be able to crawl on the surface, and we would have noticed by now. There are reasons whales aren't bigger.
>>
>>17747514
This.
I would also like to add, what if it's bones were made of a material like Graphene? It's made of Carbon, and it's strong, and light, as hell. Plus, it can be flexible, meaning it's skin could be made of it too.

Probably blow it to bits with ship canons or chopper missile barrages from a distance

Maybe even a railgun to the face

why this one especially or are you just euphoric?
>>
>>17745701
This. The military would kill it super fast and even quieter than this. Probably before it ever got out of the water. We have bunker buster bombs that can cut through 50 feet of bedrock. No giant monster would stand a chance.

>>17746457
Like this guy says it's the tiny monsters you should really be afraid of

It'll talk though, or have a representative that speaks for it. It'll probably say it's an alien and is bringing us amazing new technologies to allow us to finally devote 100% of our time to sloth, gluttony, lust etc. Then the leader of the world government will hand his authority over to it.

If a giant monster showed itself, we would probably be thrown into a period of absolute batshit chaos while we adjust to the reality that any of our cities could be hit.

Think 9/11 but multiply it by a thousand.

It would be adapted to many atmospheres of pressure and would die on the surface.
Also, why would living in the deep sea make a creature strong or resilient? Especially to gravity? Do you feel heavier or lighter when in water?

If a creature that size could even exist, which is impossible in the first place.
>inb4 magical biology - a creature like that would have related species and we would have found those already

It would get its shit fucking rekt by even a weak military force.

Its skin is not going to stop any serious ammunition. And it definitely won't stop anti materiel ammunition.
Not to mention the massive assortment of missiles and guided bombs we have to drop on it.

It would be dead within a few hours.
>>
>a creature that size can't exist

How about a monster that size THAT CAN FLY?
>>
>>17751551
I think we all know by now there would be dire consequences from this.

But realistically, yes, suppose they would. And suppose there's no way to avoid massive casualties because of the montster's proximity to cities or villages or even some small island full of peace-loving people. And suppose the monster was in fact killed. There would still be a massive shitstorm and anti-media campaign. It would possibly uproot the government as people gather torches.

Absolute chaos.
>>
>>17752381

What? Give me a break. Believe it or not, nuclear weapons are not the fucking answer to every enemy, foreign or domestic. I think they would go through an array of solutions before they resorted to the absolute last, which would also have the largest collateral damage. Cloverfield actually got this part right.

What they got wrong was that the monster appears to be breathing or aspirating to some degree. Here's the problem: the incendiary carpet-bombing should have fucked that thing up. I'm not saying that it would have asphyxiated it as was the case of some victims of the bombings of Hamburg and Dresden, but it should have done a lot more than just knock the thing down.

And if we are to believe they were using thermobaric explosives instead, it would have severely fucked that thing up. The pressure would have fucked up it's gills or lungs or whatever the fuck they are (remember, they're on the outside of it's head). There is also the potential of the ethylene or propylene deflagrating instead of detonating. At which point, it'd be like having boiling chemicals all over your fucking skin and all in the air you breathe.

That's was the only part of the movie that made me say, "Come on..".

Sure whatever

Big monster, even a lone tank with armour piercing ammunition could fucking rek it.

Little parasite things present a bigger problem.
>>
>>17745489
The parasites were nothing, a man with an axe killed one. A good rifle would easily take multiple down.

The only way they could work is if they swarm, the way they overran that military checkpoint in the film, or in close quarters, the subway would be a nightmare to clear out and would probably require flamethrowers to be recommissioned.
>>
>>17746411
The thing with the parasites is, their real lethality comes from how their bites cause people to explode.

That is caused by high concentrations of sea nectar, those born after Cloverfield left the ocean wouldn't have the sea nectar in their system and thus would be as lethal as a crab-dog hybrid.

A serious pest control campaign could finish them.
