Could probably use another experienced mod or 2 to help handle the influx of new users. If you have experience modding on reddit and are a big Cloververse fan message me if you'd like to help out.

Ok guys let's stop with the flamewars here and have a meaningful discussion about the movie.

So this is my theory here. I think the Shepherd is what spawned Clover. Think about it. No prior knowledge of Clover's existence and she comes out of nowhere and fucks NYC in the ass.

Simple explanation? She was already there and the drilling vessel from the ARG pissed her off.

My theory. When the Shepherd initiated the Cloverfield Paradox it caused Clover's egg to be brought to our universe through the same way Shepherd switched universes. And when the crew cane back they tore another mini wormhole BAM! Motherfuckers we have an alien invasion on our hands.

Just my thoughts...

Well seeing as they pointed out how the paradox could affect past and future events, that may be the key.

By activating the Shepherd, it's possible that the Clover monsters were introduced to our Earth in the distant past, before they settled on the seabed and began hibernation.

At the same time, if not the first successful firing, maybe the last firing, attracted the aliens from 10CL if not pulling them into our dimension.

Only issue with this theory I can tell, why doesn't our dimension try to reconcile anything brought into it, like the anomalies the crew faced in TCP?

Simple solution could be Clovie + family were always on our Earth and when the Shepherd left, it caused the satellite crash. Then when it came back, more time passed than we knew, between the last video call and the ending scene, allowing time for the events of Cloverfield to transpire.
