Why did JJ allow "COVERFIELD" in TITLE as it had NADA to do w/original ?

"God Particle" It is the third entry in the Cloverfield anthological film series.

I think or at least hope there may be more to "Cloverfield" franchising than "monster."

I could see each film featuring old timey monsters (kaiju, aliens, etc.) but following an entirely independent cinematic conceit (found footage, psychological thriller, etc.) to portray a human character arc (finally admitting mutual love, learning to overcome a tendency to run away, etc.)

The monster element could be universal, but incidental in other words

Logic doesn't say that. If anything, logic would say that you're begging the question.

I think it will be clear later, in the third, fourth films, that these aliens come from the same planet/solar system.

It's the beginning of an organized invasion. The makers have said they are planning a Cloverfield universe.

So, the gigantic deep sea monster waking up and attacking Manhattan might be a precursor to other phases of the invasion. For all we know, maybe these gigantic deep see monsters are important parts of the alien ecosystem and were planted into the ocean(s) for future use. For all we know they might be the alien's milk cows.

If the aliens are planning to exterminate the humans and occupy Earth, they'll need parts of their own ecosystem, not to forget, the Cloverfield monster attacking Manhattan proves that it does have some military value as a weapon, similar to how the ancient Asians used elephants in attacks.

Also, maybe the very awakening of the Manhattan monster was triggered by the approach of the alien spaceships that carried on the chemical attack in Louisiana.

Think of it. The attack killed Earth's cows as well. Being the aliens carnivores, they might think "we'll kill too much of the Earth's ecosystem and our planet is too distant and bringing food is a logistic nightmare, so first we will populate the oceans with our large animals which we can use as food after we decimate Earths intelligent and non-intelligent animals" - humans, cows, pigs, and if the chemicals will run into the oceans maybe they'll poison fish and whales; maybe their own deep sea monsters are immune to the poison.

I mean, this is just a guess by me regarding how future movies can tie-up the Cloverfield universe. There are of course infinite other possibilities and I don't know which one the filmmakers will pick.

But what is a FACT is that these movies ARE connected since they talk about alien creatures coming to Earth in the same overall time period, and as pointed out by others here, there are hints and clues already pointing to connections, plus there is THE FREAKING STATEMENT BY THE FILMMAKERS THAT THE MOVIES ARE CONNECTED AND THEY ARE PLANNING AN ANTHOLOGY OF CLOVERFIELD-UNIVERSE MOVIES.

This arrogant user's argument that the aliens are very different in the two movies is BS. Just think of how different we are from a whale or a firefly. Think of Spaceship Troopers where there were aliens of all sizes and shapes, some smaller, some gigantic.

The two satellites being knocked out in both movies... aliens are coming. They come in different sizes and shapes. They are invading the Earth and trying to exterminate humans, in the same time period of the 21st century.

Interstellar distances being huge and the universe vast, it would have to be a statistically prohibitive coincidence if suddenly aliens showed up in Manhattan and Louisiana at the same time, and they were NOT coming from the same planet and the same invasion force, regardless of their size and appearance.

Get the power back, you are a genius. I too remember thinking the same thing, and tons of flatout “high IQ” retards were babbling “durrrr obviously it’s an anthology movie and that was so glaringly obvious from day one!” Man, I wish I had the telekinetic powers of some of these users.
