Homage to/Poke at Cloverfield?

CARL MAJORS - Hmm,it's possible that Edwards may have been attempting an extremely veiled homage to Cloverfield. I very much doubt that he'd want to straight-out poke fun at the film, however, I've no way of knowing the man's mind, so he could very well have been doing so! With regards to the MUTOs: I did see some minor similarities to CLover in their physiology. That being said, the MUTOs were definately much more mobile and graceful. The female could run with incredible speed, while the male was practically a daredevil flyer! :)
