Hey, how's it going?
It's Michael back here with the brand new Cloverfield topic video. So as you know, Cloverfield is a
2008 monster movie directed by Matt Reeves. While the first movie had a lot more mysteries to it, eight years later
we got another story in the universe, and that was 10 Cloverfield Lane. Although there aren't very explicit connections for the films,
there are subtle hints that tie in between them. At the end of 10 Cloverfield Lane, we're introduced to an alien species
that's been teased throughout the movie to the main character, only to realize that they are real and out to get her. For this video,
we'll be talking about, "What are the aliens from 10 Cloverfield Lane?"
So let's get into it. The aliens from 10 Cloverfield Lane are giant worm quadrupedal like creatures.
They have a metal plating on their bodies almost as armor or some layer of skin. Each
individual metallic plate has a similar design of a hexagon. With regards to what exactly they are, from what we know from the film,
they appear to be some sort of hybrid between organic life-forms with advanced technology. The aliens themselves,
apart from being worm-like, have a secondary mouth that extends from the insides of their first and outer mouth. Their heads have a
circular shape with extremely sharp teeth. The aliens are extremely hostile and are sensitive to sound as we see in the film.
Similar to "Clover," the monster from Cloverfield, seem to have related horn noises as the possible means of
communication or as a warning signal before attacks. This is something almost identical to
Cloverfield as at one point during the final battle in 10 Cloverfield Lane, we hear sounds hurdled from the alien ship
that're eerily similar. The ships that we see in the movie are quite interesting as well, as they appear to be some sort of techno-organic
extraterrestrial aircraft. In addition to this, the aliens are equipped with a deadly
toxic gas. We see this being used in the last minutes of the movie as
Michelle requires a hazmat suit so she's not exposed to the gas and dies. When did the aliens first arrive on Earth,
and why? Well, there's a lot of different theories,
but here's the one that I think makes the most sense and connects to what exactly the 10 Cloverfield
aliens are, and how they connect to Howard from the movie and the monster from the first Cloverfield
movie. As we saw at the very
end of Cloverfield,
they suddenly dropped from space and fell into the depths of the ocean. Now, while it is said that the monster from Cloverfield was actually
woken up by the humans, what I think happened was the aliens that we see in 10 cloverfield lane were monitoring the creature, and
will be for thousands of years, and sent down the satellite to wake up the creature or jump-started it to slowly throw out a few pegs.
Shortly afterwards, the humans may have actually found it themselves, or woke it up. The key here
is that the alien satellite, or human satellite, was purposely sent by these beings from Cloverfield
to wake up Clover. This was potentially done as an invasion
tactic, sort of in waves, using Clover from the first movie as the first wave of attack, as a test
potentially, and the second wave, being the real threat which is an alien invasion
in 10 Cloverfield Lane. This may make sense given that JJ
Abrams has gone on record talking about the Cloverfield monster, saying, "He's a baby,
he's brand new, he's confused, disoriented, and irritable, and he's been down there in the water for thousands and thousands of years."
So this baby was being watched by the aliens this whole time. Now, this would make sense,
meaning that Clover and the aliens are related, not to mention that they had similar looking mouths and make similar noises.
Connecting to Howard from 10 Cloverfield Lane, and the original movie with the aliens, Howard worked for TAGRUATO on satellites.
They were a company from the original movie that had a significant impact to the background story.
It was revealed through multiple viral marketing campaigns for the first movie that Howard
actually worked for Bold Futura, a branch of TAGRUATO, the company supposedly responsible. The arg for 10 Cloverfield Lane
revealed that Howard worked for Bold Futura, on their satellites, thus why he was so hung up on the aliens, and well prepared for the
apocalypse,
because he knew. On top of this, several pieces of dialogue in the film hint towards this. For example: when Emmet says to Michelle, "Have
you heard his theory on giant mutant space worms yet?" Now while this may just sound like a joke at first, by the end of
the movie, this does make sense with what we see and what the aliens look like. It's a very specific theory that pretty much solidifies
Howard's Involvement and knowledge with the events. Howard's job had him fix broken satellites, and from one of them were the job in general,
he learned about the inevitable invasion. He even mentioned that he caught wind of the attack and rushed straight to the bunker.
Furthermore, the company has oil rigs that they keep in the ocean. From the viral marketing campaigns from the first Cloverfield,
it actually shows the break falling, and it's cover-up.
So in all, that's what the aliens from 10 Cloverfield Lane are, and they're connected to the monster from Cloverfield,
by potentially being some sort of set-off hybrid weapon to attack Earth, or something along those lines. The upcoming entry in the series,
"God Particle," coming out later this year, will actually take place in space and be about astronauts in the space station who make
the, quote unquote, "terrifying discovery." This new Cloverfield movie could be the one that gives context between
what happened, and how 10 Cloverfield Lane and Cloverfield are connected.
But, that wraps it up for this video on "What are the aliens in 10 Cloverfield Lane?"
