The TV show and the creature storylines have to be linked right?? At least that is what you typically expect in a script. Does anyone know the link other than just adding to the aura of strangeness?
shareThe Asian cowboy guy is in both stories.
shareI think the common thread, besides Jupe, is Gordy being an animal, just like the horses and the UFO, and how the slightest mistake could be fatal in front of them.
The horse almost kicked the Hollywood people to death because of the mirror.
Gordy went on a rampage because of a balloon bursting.
The UFO ate people for looking at it and encroaching it's territories.
Another link would be it's effect on Jupe.
Jupe didn't only survive but was even about to bro fist Gordy before they killed him. That may have caused him to think he could tame and get along with the UFO as well.
Just a quick "me too"
Peele's pretty much confirmed everything WrepDrep spelled out here
Also:
In the flash-backs, young actor Jupe avoided Death By Rampaging Animal because he never made eye contact with the Chimpanzee (Jupe kept staring at the shoe).
Later, large pictures of eyes were attached to the vehicle to lure the alien.
Since seeing the movie, when I am at a park or beach where bad animal owners have set their friendly, pouncy dogs off-leash in the no-pets-allowed areas, I look away from the dog and successfully avoid contact with overly friendly sharp claws on the fragile skin of my skinny shins.
