History WMG / Chronicle

* But then, without his wife, son or anyone here living in house, no one is here to pay for his house bills as the house becomes repossessed as he becomes homeless on the streets.

The kids [[NotUsingTheZWord never compare themselves]] to, say, [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] or the ComicBook/FantasticFour, and no one uses the words "superpower" or "superhero". It's next to impossible that the boys, having lived all their lives in America, with normal access to TV, cinema, etc., have no concept of superheroes or have never been exposed to any form of superhero media. Perhaps they simply don't exist on this Earth?

[[WMG: Josh Trank's ''Chronicle'' is set in a shared universe with all of the following ]]

''The Incredibles''

''Transformers Prime''

''Unbreakable''

''Split''

''Breaking Bad''

''Better Call Saul''

[[WMG: A sequel would involve people with physical powers as opposed to psychic powers.

[[WMG: The origin of the boy's powers has to do with [[TheSlenderManMythos Slendy]].]]

But it could be physical superpowers as opposed to psychic ones like his father had.

Whenever one of them were in trouble [[spoiler:or, in Steven's case, dead]], it triggered a PsychicNosebleed. This seems like a psychic bond the three of them shared. Perhaps, in time, a telekinetic will start to display more overt mind reading. Since Jean Grey from ComicBook/{{X-Men}}, telepathy has been a natural compliment to telekinesis.

I feel that Chronicle has the making of a productive franchise. By adding a couple more connecting films to it they could create it a fillm based off of X.<br>
In 1999, a teenager named Kamui Shirō returns to Tokyo after a six-year absence. He comes to protect those dearest to him, Kotori and Fūma Monou, and fulfill his mother's dying wish of changing fate.[3][4] The end of the world is fast approaching as superhuman individuals gather and take sides in Tokyo, the battle site of Armageddon. Following Kamui's arrival the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth, the two factions in the final battle for humanity's future, vie for the young man's allegiance, convinced his power will assure their victory.[5][6] The Dragons of Heaven are the first to contact Kamui. The Dragons of Heaven are guided by Hinoto, dreamgazer for the Legislature of Japan. They are the protectors of the kekkai (結界?), spiritual barriers (in the form of buildings such as the Tokyo Tower) that hold the fabric of nature together. As long as the kekkai survive, Judgment Day is postponed.[3][7] The Dragons of Earth are the counterpart to the Dragons of Heaven. Their mission is to destroy the kekkai and unleash earthquakes so the Earth can be cured of the plague of humanity. They were assembled by Hinoto's sister Kanoe, secretary to the Governor of Tokyo.[3][7]<br>
As Kamui is forced to choose between the two sides, he concludes he only wants to protect Kotori and Fūma, and becomes a Dragon of Heaven. At the same time, Fūma has a change of personality and becomes the "Kamui" of the Dragons of Earth as he was destined to be Kamui's opposite. Fūma kills Kotori and swears to kill Kamui. Deciding he wishes to bring Fūma back to normal, Kamui joins the Dragons of Heaven in their fight against the Dragons of Earth. Because of the issues regarding the manga's serialization, the plot from the series has yet to be concluded by Clamp.<br>

For those of you who don’t know in 1999, a teenager named Kamui Shirō returns to Tokyo after a six-year absence. He comes to protect those dearest to him, Kotori and Fūma Monou, and fulfill his mother's dying wish of changing fate.[3][4] The end of the world is fast approaching as superhuman individuals gather and take sides in Tokyo, the battle site of Armageddon. Following Kamui's arrival the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth, the two factions in the final battle for humanity's future, vie for the young man's allegiance, convinced his power will assure their victory.[5][6] The Dragons of Heaven are the first to contact Kamui. The Dragons of Heaven are guided by Hinoto, dreamgazer for the Legislature of Japan. They are the protectors of the kekkai (結界?), spiritual barriers (in the form of buildings such as the Tokyo Tower) that hold the fabric of nature together. As long as the kekkai survive, Judgment Day is postponed.[3][7] The Dragons of Earth are the counterpart to the Dragons of Heaven.

For those of you who are aware of X you have to admit that while the movie is more similar to akira the dynamic of Matt and Andrew are similar to that of Kamui and Fuma. Namely that they seem to represent Yin and Yang throughout the entire movie as ones personality changes the others changes along with it. Matt goes from a pothead pseudo-philosopher with hints of a superiority complex, to sobbing uncontrollably moments before killing Andrew. While Andrew is a troubled, misunderstood kid who doesn't do well on his first date and then proceeds to kill everyone he considers weaker than him. Heck soon after Andrew crosses the Moral Event Horizon, we switch the point of view to Matt.

'''Richard:''' ''(bleeding, crying, and in a tantrum)'' [[TooDumbToLive Fuck all of you!]] [[MisanthropeSupreme: You people are all the same!]]

'''Richard:''' ''(bleeding, crying, and in a tantrum)'' [[TooDumbToLive Fuck you!]]

* Likely, if that happens, Richard ends up being interrogated viciously for what he knows about his son's apparent powers, maybe involving CodBloodedTorture and abuse similar to what [[LaserGuidedKarma he put his son through]]. Karma's a bitch like that.

As mentioned in the YMMV page, the scene where the get their powers is remeniscent of [[MarbleHornets Marble Hornets]]. Who's to say Slendy's not creating a new breed of Proxy so as to kick-start his next plan.

Or at least were [[SequelHook planned to be]] in a sequel if they had went with the original script. In the original script, [[spoiler: Steve]] says he hears "singing" right before [[spoiler: he's struck by lightning and apparently killed]]. Matt says the same thing before [[spoiler: he apparently stops breathing and dies before suddenly coming back to life]]. So, if the boys are killed, they become immortal and/or practically invincible.

The Battle of Seattle demonstrated how apocalyptically dangerous a kineticist can be when they lose perspective and moral restraint. The police were literally powerless to stop Andrew even when he was heavily burnt, doped up on painkillers and recently awoken from a coma. Even in that state he still had enough power to toss cars like tennis balls and wreck buildings. It required the intervention of the only other kineticist present to stop him. If we take the theory that the movie consists of the government piecing together confiscated or recovered footage, Matt is to their knowledge now ''the last living kineticist''. As Andrew aptly demonstrated, regular laws and law enforcers simply don't apply to kineticists - they have enough power to, if they wish, make such agencies entirely irrelevant. There is absolutely no compelling reason for a kineticist to follow any law except personal choice. If I were a high-up in the US government - or indeed pretty much any other government - I would be freaking out. Matt's own moral code and mental stability are really the only things standing between him and becoming as bad as - if not worse than - Andrew. He's a threat to any major world power that annoys him - and if they found the camera in Tibet, they know who his first target is likely to be.
