The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Sorry I couldn't find better screenshots for comparison, but I'm sure you understand the difficulties of typing "Sin" into a search engine. :lol
Of course (with Google, anyway), you can sort your rearch results to include only images. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that other search engines have a similar capability.
That's what I did. Even with "Final Fantasy X" added to the keywords, the images are still mostly...the other thing.

If that is the monster from the movie, I don't think it's very original. It's very similar to the Sin monster from Final Fantasy X:

I can't see too much resemblance with those pictures to be honest. But I would not be surprised if, when the official design is revealed, someone is going to say it is not original and start comparing it with another creature.
The thing the pictures don't bring across well is that Sin has 2 different forms. To me, the Cloverfield monster looks like a mix of both.

Although, I do admit that it could just be that any pair of giant whale monsters are going to look similar.

I still wonder what the monster will ultimately look like. The image I found could just be fanart, after all.
