Bird Box
Bird box kinda reminds me of day of the triffids (I am unsure when It was made, but is not new lol), in which a meteor shower blinds most people on earth and these plant creatures start killing people off.
Me who know the whole time that it wasn’t matpat on my phone and just know it was the monster😑nice try but I’m not dumb
the monster is actually me
it isnt one entity when people were forced to open there eyes in the mental hospital someone said they forced up to look at those creatures meaning multiple
Something I learned from Filmento & The Imaginary Axis Channel.
No CGI monstrosity on any movie will ever be as Scary as THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN when it comes to your imagination
Whenever you give a monster a visual, no matter how terrifying it looks. It looses like 50 percent of its scaryness.
Im so sorry god but i laughed when she bang bang bang them
The anime references
I think they are afraid of looking at it because maybe it is showing them the worst thing they've done in there lives or how their going to die.
Yea, I don't think their afraid of it, but rather what it shows them.
Wait, can it fly, how fast can it go, can you outrun it?, what if it targeted someone, could you see it in a mirror and then turn around and it's not there and when you turn back to the mirror and it's coming out of it!?
Why I felt like it's almost like "Anti-Christ" Event where the people that consider worthy get take by the Jesus it self and their body become ash/dust. And the remaining is not Jesus child and left suffer for 7 years.
So like…
What's up with blind people?
there was no money for the monster XD
One real thing I want to try out is that what if someone(not insane) saw the monster, and others controlled him and did everything to prevent Him from doing anything suicidal. What would happen?
Wait, what if someone is like, paralysed, like example if Stephen Hawking NOT on a movable wheel chair saw the monster. Does the body force stop!?
Eh lol bird box was so overated man. Cool idea though and great theory
the monster in birdbox is the fact that one day, minecraft will have its last update and the fact is so heartbreaking that people go out of control and die looking at it.
EDIT:I think I need to start a theory channel myself
TL;DW Jesus
HARVEY WEINSTEIN! HE IS THE MONSTER THAT EVERYONE PRETENDED NOT TO SEE! I have to! Saw this and Ricky Gervais came up.
They're angels and it's the rapture. Angels according the bible are said to induce insanity if you look upon them.
Coming back to this but I ran into a kid at the gas station and out of the blue said (I think he was talking on his phone) "It's obvious, the thing in bird box is showing people the truth on just how awful humans actually are and they can't cope with it." The monster in the film is… the naked truth.
Real late to the party but I am curious if you've ever read the book. It does a much better job explaining a lot of the questions you raised in this video. There is actually a part where Miranda contemplates if whatever it is making people insane is even doing that with malicious intent, how it might be unaware of the harm it does to animals that see it, or even remorseful for it. The book gives you a much better impression of what the author described in that 2015 interview that it might not even have any real physical form that a human mind could actually see and instead is just a massive cognitive decitense and hazard. The few time Miranda thinks she encounters a monster she's usually not sure there was really anything even there if everyone was blind folded and no one knew for sure, on the boat she thinks one is trying to take off her blindfold and you follow her through her inner monologue of rationalising what it was and she lands on a simple explanation as she calms down going from monster to insane person to leaf brushing her face. The majority of the emphasis on whatever it is having some kind of physical form and speculation to what that form is where to add drama in the movie that did not occur in the books. Gary didn't have drawings in his briefcase in the book; he had a diary that recorded his madness. The driving blind had no monster encounters in the book; it's Miranda with a dog Victor in the book and it's just described as being incredibly stressful and taking weeks of attempts to find her way to the bar for supplies showing her determination and progress. There is none of the eye's breaking in the books either; you just saw whatever it was and either went crazy and killed a bunch of people then yourself, or you'd go insane at a slower rate like Gary. There was also none of the vocal mimicry in the books; vocal mimicry was used in the book as Miranda's various internalised voices taking on the voice of others she knew (Tom was her survivalist, Gary was her inner doubt, Don was her inner critic, etc) as a result of being alone with 2 children for 4 years. The only other time anyone uses a copied voice is when Miranda hears the recording by the river to signal she needed to look to make sure she followed the correct channel; it was Tom's Message he left on the Answering Machine, they wanted to make sure it would be significant to Miranda but didn't know Tom was dead and even ask Miranda to forgive them if she found it in bad taste since they would have never used Tom's message had they realised he'd not be with her when she arrived.
So no one entertained the thought it could've been the information gap between the next dimension?
this is probably what led to the creation inspiration for SCP 096?? aka the shy guy
Imagine this being SCP-096. Could genuinely be.
The monster was actual the Clinton’s doing their daily murders, if you look at it, YOUR NEXT!
The "monster" ate time….I can't get back.
The waffle house has found its new host
Cthulhu 😍
The rapture thing was a giant display of ignorance of Christian belief
What does block mean????
A way to survive bird box is to be blind
Cthulhu… it's Cthulhu. 😛
edit 8 mins ish in: called it.
It's H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu. Cthulhu drives people mad by the sight of him. The Movie is the tipical junk made by writer who to little research on Google. The open a window while writing, and quickly grab some referance, with reading into them.
Okay no 14:30.. In the rapture, no one of the saints is gonna call or encourage someone else to join them, if you'd make it, you get taken right away, if you won't, it is so. The verse makes that pretty clear🤷🏻♂️
The monster is an actress named Bullock I believe.
I always imagined it as a gas that didn’t have a solid physical form
I think it's Old people making sweet sweet love… I mean some extremely perverted stuff

You have the most annoying voice on YT 🤷♂️
I was under the impression it was some sort of eldritch being/s due to the fact that according to most lore about the old ones, just seeing them caused your brain to basically go haywire and either make you self harm, hurt others or just go utterly bonkers. Which tracks, especially if you consider the only people that don't just go crazy already ARE crazy. I think the more important question is to ask, what sort of mental illness to people in this universe have to have to not go loco.
so god is basically a murderer
As a christian, I can confirm these are real bible verses 👍🏻🙏🏻
i find the contemplation of infinity to be a comfort.
5:35 guys hes just my locksmith calm down
Is it possible that when it comes to storytelling the audience is just not meant to see or know the monster. The idea builds a sense of subconscious realism for the audience because seeing is believing & keeping the true sight of the monster a secret adds to the same fear response the characters in the film are undergoing.
Matpat: Make sure to hit that subscribe button to (blah blah blah)
Me, who is already subscribed: okay… 🙃👍
As a Christian,i just came in to say the rupture will happen either when the world will end,will fireballs falling from the sky (probably meteors or atomic bombs),either everyone will simply drop dead with no pain and their soul will rise.Because yes,Jesus can just stop a humans heart in a second or he can give any human any disease. I hope i clarified the curiosity of the ones that had it 🙂
SCP-096 knock off
The fact that it's almost frustrating to not be able to see the monster is justifying the creature "driving people into madness"
