History WMG / Up

*** In conjunction with the [=WMG=] of Russel being Short Round's grandson, this means that Short Round himself was either a Nocker or - more likely - he too was a kinain, under the guidance of IndianaJones, Archeologist Eshu!

[[WMG: The movie takes place in the same world as ''GirlGenius'']]

[[WMG: The film runs on [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]]]]

** Alternatively, his father is [[TheDarkKnightSaga Mr. Lau...]]

** Grief over Ellie's death robbed him of his powers. He probably got them back after the events of the movie, though. It explains how he got to keep the zepplin.

-->'''Freakazoid:''' ''Do'' I!

[[WMG: Russell was a child from ''{{WALL-E}}'' who time-traveled backwards to the present.]]
Okay, this WMG was mainly built on the fact that Russell was kind of chubby. But still, a WMG's an WMG.

*** This troper agrees. He could have died in the ambulance or maybe it is what Elli thinks might happen to him, heck it might even be what the kid wishes assisting the old man would end up as.

[[WMG: Russell's father is the {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}]]

** This is untrue. There is an Omega listed separately during the ending credits.

* Those were the wing bones.

The house instead crashed into the buildings that the CorruptCorporateExecutive wanted to complete in the first place, than accidentally killed said Executive ''a la'' Wicked Witch Of East. However, it ended with Russel severely injured, and Carl in a coma, thus dreaming up the rest of it...

The scientific community laughed him off because the "monster of Paradise Falls" was (metaphorically) just another [[ScienceMarchesOn Brontosaurus]]. He declared that it was real, and he could prove it by finding a live specimen. However, if he'd been in his right mind, it would have been possible for him to accept Kevin's kind as being a real example of a Lost World species, instead of killing them and letting his dogs eat them as soon as he realized that an individual specimen wasn't the same "species" as the monster, and thus 1. useless in proving the existence of the monster, and 2. a worthless freak of nature [[CriticalResearchFailure that we already have the bones of]] (''aepyornis maximus''), just a colorful emu that nobody will care about.

* He sold balloons for a living. He probably just still had them leftover from then.

* I just assumed she was the nanny, and Carl was upset that she spent more time with Russell than either of his parents did.

Muntz was in his early twenties when Carl and Elle were about, let's say- ten. This is why, when Carl and Mutz meet, they can both be old- but not ''too'' old. If Carl is maybe 70 (I don't remember if they actually ''say'' his age, so I'm sorry if that's wrong. XD) Than Muntz would only be 80.

The JerkAss wanted Carl out so badly, so he ordered the construction workers to ''accidentally'' hit something and then told them that if should they hit anything, they should be ''aggressively'' nice, knowing that it would make Carl lose his temper and lash out. The CCE probably could have found other ways to have him evicted, but he decided to do this simply to get the message across that you don't mess with him.

He's a short, adventure-loving Asian kid. Why not?

** We know Titanis turned out to not have wing claws since 2006. [[ThisIsSparta STOP. FAILING.]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ORNITHOLOGY. FOREVER!]]

The only logical explanation for how it manages to go BeyondTheImpossible

[[WMG: Russell is the grandchild of [[IndianaJones Short Round]].]]

** We know Titanis turned out to not have wing claws since 2006. [[ThisIsSpartaSTOP. FAILING.]] [[PunctatedForEmphasis ORNITHOLOGY. FOREVER!]]

*** Even hoatzins have the wing bones shaped like those of regular birds. And many other birds have wing claws anyway. STOP FAILING ORNITHOLOGY!!!!

** We know Titanis turned out to not have wing claws since 2006. STOP. FAILING. ORNITHOLOGY. FOREVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because Muntz was tryign to breed a dog with extreme loyalty. Knowing that [=GR=]s are traditionally very loyal, he decided to breed them into his dogs when he finally got his hands on one. Unfortunatly, [=GR=]s are also ''extrememly'' friendly, and though Muntz may have tried to breed the "friendly" out of them.... well, let's just say, it didn't work.

** Yes.

[[WMG: The movie takes place in the WorldOfDarkness, and it's a story about [[TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression Geniuses]].]]

* Uh... Can we set it in [[TabletopGame/MageTheAscension the Old World Of Darkness]] instead? That would make Carl a Son of Ether instead, probably Awakened by contact with Ellie (who was so obviously an Adventurer-type Etherite), and he and Russel and Dug can explore a happy '50s sci-fi universe. You know, with a severely downplayed likelihood of psychosis.

* [[ChangelingTheDreaming The Old World Of Darkness, you say?]] Gather, childlings, and hear the tale of the great nocker Carl, the kinain Russel, and the chimeras Dug and Kevin, and how they did battle with Banality by venturing forth into the Dreaming and reclaiming the lost Mobile Freehold of Adventure's Soul. Our story begins with Carl loosing his house from the Earth's bonds with a cantrip and riding the winds of mortal disbelief out of this darkened world, but it should properly start with the tales of the then-Seelie eshu Muntz he followed as a childling...

That's why it can defy physics. And why Carl scrambles to save it instead of a living, breathing being. And why it lands on the spot Elie dreamed up for it from the beginning, on its own, in the end.

Carl may or may not be aware of that, or maybe only at a subconscious level.

Well, both films did have the wives of the old man of the house possessed by them.

But, Elie seemed to like kids more then the monster house chick, and thus, why Rushell got to live, and why she let him grab the hose.

The house instead crashed into the buildings that the CorruptCorporateExecutive wanted to complete in the first place, than accidentally killed said Executive ala Wicked Witch Of West style. However, it ended with Russel servilely injured, and Carl in a coma, thus dreaming up the rest of it...

* If Kevin's mate was a skeleton seventy years ago, and Kevin's babies are still roughly the size of a melon, then those birds must live an [i]incredibly[/i] long time.

** [[AllJustADream All in the mind of an autistic child]] can be applied to nearly anything fictional, and frankly, this troper finds that it gets boring.
*** This troper agrees but if you are going to go the dieing dream rout you can at least put some effort into it. He could have died in the ambulance or maybe it is what Elli thinks might happen to him, heck it might even be what the kid wishes assisting the old man would end up as.

** ...can Muntz be a dupe who got all his gear from [[WerewolfTheApocalypse Pentex]]? Paradise Falls looks like the kind of place they like to break up for parts and sell off.

Unfortunatly, [=GR=]s are also ''extrememly'' friendly, and though Muntz may have tried to breed the "friendly" out of them.... well, let's just say, [[{{Understatement}} it didn't work]].

[[WMG: If above theory is correct, than the movie universe is the same as MonsterHouse]]
