C the Monster

-
What are monsters anyway? When is a dog just a dog, that's The Thing, isn't it? Cujo becomes the classic rabid dog on the loose story. Is a Rottweiler, just more of a big dog than a Monster? Its not all black & white within the spectrum of light. The Giant_Panda can become just as ferocious as a polar bear. In a way, the big destructive monster in Cloverfield was just a confused & angry pup. The Grizzly/polar_bear_hybrid isn't some CGI effect from a movie or TV series. However, a Hybrid isn't always a monster. Dogs have been crossbred for quite some time. The Rottweiler is quite a big & tough dog, but they aren't all monsters, just because of their size. When a being is a mutant, or has been augmented with surgical upgrades, could there be a higher chance of it becoming a monster? Several factors are involved in the development of natural & altered life forms. Is SPLICE just another monster movie? Its also about a chimera, how a composite life form is created in a lab, gets big, angry & confused & then escapes.

Monsters from space & other dimensions have become a common sci-fi theme through the years. Was SHJ simply an urban legend about a menacing monster, or a confused & frustrated being that was trapped on earth for several decades? Throughout history, several books & movies have depicted some people as monsters. While what might be considered a monster on the outside sometimes ends up being kindlier than some people. It all depends upon the motives & circumstances. The forces of yin & yang, light & darkness are perceived at various levels.
