Norman Reedus was wearing the dog tags from the first trailer at the awards show I thought that was neat.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
I heard one theory that the baby pods might be tied to player respawns. Which is why the dude threw it to Reedus when he knew he was getting got.

Other ideas:

-Denying (Ala DOTA2) the kill might be a mechanic in order to prevent something with the enemies. Could be simple as just captured allies turn against you like they were zombified, or something else. Which is why the dude killed his friend and tried to kill himself, granted this could also just be thematic "Better to die than deal with the enemy" because they're just that bad.

-"Life" might be treated similar to how "Heat" was used as a resource in the Lost Planet series. The only proof towards that is the "Don't even breath" bit when the invisible dudes are around. They clearly don't "see" the characters, and even though Reedus also says to be quiet, the robots reacting to their presence make plenty of sound that doesn't draw their attention.

Do you think the soldier that showed up on top of the car and shushed before zooming up was Mass Mikkelson’s character?

If we accept that the baby pods are tied to the idea of respawning, I wonder why Del Toro was so concerned with the baby he was carrying. Whose consciousness was in that baby?

I don’t accept that. I think they are using the infant as a way to counteract the rapid aging that happens when the monsters show up. The guy trapped is younger and ages to a super old man rapidly.

That makes sense. If that’s the case, I wonder why the fetus gave a thumbs up. That’s pretty higher conscious for a fetus. Maybe they aren’t human fetuses but some kind of organic technology. That seems pretty Kojima-like.

Also, it could have given a thumbs up because Kojima thought it would be funny to have a baby give a thumbs up. Who knows
