At this point they’re almost as bad as Zeon.

I don’t think Clark ever got lost in the first place. Everybody always says that part in the trailer where Clark’s feeling the wall is where he can’t find the exit. But I don’t think that’s correct. Because the Therapist enters later right? And when she enters there’s blue tape on the wall. Only Clark could have done that. Which means him feeling the wall takes place prior to Mary entering, and he found the exit again and marked it.

I now submit to you my first theory: that Clark has been able to leave The Backrooms anytime he wants. And he CHOSE to stay.

And the proof is in the image I included from the new trailer. Clark is wearing a different outfit than when he was feeling the wall for the exit (and we know he was wearing that first outfit when he discovered the BR). Which means Clark either left and returned, or brought multiple pairs of clothes with him inside, knowing he’d stay. Either way Clark’s in there willingly.

So the question is why did Clark choose to stay? Because, ladies and gentlemen: I don’t think Clark is a mentally well individual. I think somethings wrong with him. And whatever is wrong with him, my hunch is that the Backrooms has made it worse.

Here’s something else, the point of the movie is Mary looking for Clark right? Well in this image she’s reunited with him. But if you notice, she’s not covered in blood. That means the bloody moment from the first trailer where she’s panicking and moving through a tight space happens AFTER she’s reunited with Clark. Not before.

I now submit to you my second theory: Clark himself is the individual she’s fleeing from.

This concludes my conspiracy theory.

Straight from the official Shin Godzilla art book. I upscaled it in the first image. The second pic is the original mushroom cloud concept art. The third pic is from the mushroom cloud fan film. The fourth pic is the original un-upscaled art from the book with the Kanji intact, which roughly translates to:

“As one of the Godzilla designs, this was created as a return to the original starting point.
Starting from the 1954 Godzilla image, the design evolved through repeated destruction and mutation.
The final result became the current design seen in the 2016 film.”

I hear a lot of complaints that the mushroom cloud look is just something fans cooked up based on unused 1954 concept art. But this shows that at one point Shin himself had that very same look! Which means the fan film is less an exaggerated take on 1954, and more an alternate universe Shin where he kept his original concept art.

I think GMK would be dope.

Disregard that second pic.
