Seeing as all mythlogical monsters and cryptids exist in the movies, I'd like to see a movie where ONE research team brings back definite proof instead of the whole "the world must never know" thing.

The definite proof has a tendency to get loose and cause havoc.



Personally, I've had it up to here with hackers that never use a mouse and can crack any encryption in no time.
Okay, the never use a mouse I can forgive if they're using a text-based screen.

That depends on your views of abiogenesis.

That can't happen. Using "the world must never know" idea allows for greater suspension of disbelief, because it allows the audience to pretend that it may have actually happened. If in the movie they give the world unquestionable proof of the existence of one of these beasties then the audience knows it's fiction, since they didn't see that on the nightly news.

She might. You never know.

That would depend on the type off 'Ping' sent bythe ship and the type of caontact. It's the differences in the return echo that tell the trained 'Phones' what the contact is, a sub, a thermal layer, a shoal of fish, all have different returns.

Most of the movies are pretty fantastic anyway. It would be nice to see them do a live capture, take some photos and DNA, tell the world and get the habitat protected, just for a change of pace.

Yeah, but the only time this happens in movies some evil corporation wants to bring the specimen back to headquarters for "research" or some other reason, it gets loose and causes havoc.

IMHO...

Yes, especially if (as you said) the Hero watches the same sort of movies as the rest of us in reality. In fact, I would think it would make good motivation for the Hero to try to convince the reporter not to hide the information.

Actually, for a real change of pace, I'd like the cryptid in the movie to not be real. And not a deliberate hoax, either. There could be some serious scary build-up and then the relevation that it was all just a simple misidentification of a normal animal.

They don't do that in movies--they do it on TV. After everyone leaves the scene laughing about how they were fooled by something harmless, the episode always ends with a closing shot of something in the dark that suggests the cryptid actually exists, after all.

And what's funny about that whole show is that all he ever wants is those kids the heck off his lawn/museum/lighthouse.

I like Scooby-Doo, but what I meant was that I'd like the cryptid to be a simple misidentifcation with no hint of a real one and not a hoax. It would make for an interesting movie.

I always thought that those meddling kids STILL being scared of the cryptid after a 1000 hoaxes in the previous episodes made them pretty stupid. Me, I'd go "Oh, another bigfoot, oh I'm so scared, by the way that mask is a little worse than the last one, you shouldn't have bought it in the post-halloween sale."
