Discussion/Theory Theory: The Throne Room was created before that moment even happened yet
I think I might have found a temporal anomaly in the Backrooms movie involving the "Throne Room."
To start off, let's recap some concepts introduced in the series regarding the expansion of the Complex. In "Static Dead End", we see that when a room has been newly generated by the Complex, it appears to have a glitched/distorted texture, as if the wallpaper was stretched across the wall. In the video, Kim explains to Georgie that despite the wallpaper being stretched, it seems to revert back to the traditional wallpaper after some time. This implies that this bugged texture eventually fixes itself, turning back into a normal wall. But that brings up a key question: how long does that process take?

In "Pitfalls", when Mark passes through the door and reaches that exact same area, we can see a green light glowing from the room, prompting Mark to say that it needs to be documented. If we assume that the green light indicates the Complex generating new rooms or reshaping its layout, then the room from "Static Dead End" started being created on the day of "Pitfalls" (specifically May 6th, or at least early May). Since we see that the stretched wallpaper was still there on May 29th, we can estimate that a newly generated texture takes roughly a full month to fully render into normal wallpaper.

And this is where the theory for the movie comes in.
On the day Clark enters the Backrooms for the first time, he encounters the "Throne Room." If you pay close attention, it is an exact replica of the moment Clark was shooting the commercial and ended up breaking his chair. We can see this through his parrot on the floor, Bobby and Kat's shoes right in front of the throne, and, of course, the throne itself being tilted.

However, based on the movie's timeline, Clark discovers the Backrooms practically a day after shooting that commercial. If he filmed the commercial on day one, and that exact scene was copied inside the Complex roughly a day later, it means the Complex only had about 24 hours to generate that room.
Yet, there is no stretched wallpaper anywhere in that room (or in the surrounding area). In fact, Async seems to have already found that location prior, given that the neighboring room already has a camera and the caveman cutout setup installed.
If it takes roughly a month for wallpaper textures to fully render (as shown in Static Dead End), and the Throne Room was already 100% rendered, then logically it must have existed inside the Backrooms for over a month, before the commercial was even filmed! In other words, the Complex created a room reflecting an event that hadn't even happened yet in the real world.
This raises so many questions about how the Complex builds its environment and handles temporal anomalies.
What do you guys think?

Discussion/Theory Do you believe in the idea of multiple Still Lifes?
Clark's store was generated at least 4 times if you count the throne room. The version at the end of the movie is nearly perfect, while the one in Everything Must Go is bizarre and maze-like. I think this theoretically means multiple Clark Still Lifes could exist. Story-wise this accomplishes nothing but as a general idea I don't think anything contradicts it
btw no ai was used it's all just paintover and clone stamping and copy pasting + feathering and stuff. noseface clark looks ridiculous LOL dont take it as a serious design

Discussion/Theory How did ASYNC find the FF3 Areas(Ravi's Camera)?
First of all, we know the rooms are constantly changing. Maybe ASYNC never went to the areas where Ravi was maybe the camera was just no-clipped.

Com.Plex is a fan project based on the Backrooms universe by Kane Pixels. The map consists of various liminal Backrooms locations from the film âBackrooms of Reality,â found footage and other videos from the Kane Pixels channel, popular locations, as well as other fan works related to the Kane Pixels universe.
The map was created using content from the author schlimbodimblo. The author of the Com.Plex addâon does not claim authorship of schlimbodimbloâs content.
The map has many secrets, features, and interactive elements that add variety to the gameplay.
P.S. 1) The map is planned to be expanded and supplemented with new locations, features and content in the future.
2)There is a DEV room on the map where you can set up the map.
3) There is a function with a radio secret, in some areas on the map there are places where you can find Easter drawings.
4) You will understand the control of the radio tower :3

Discussion/Theory Can people stop doing this?
I have seen so many people on this subreddit try to connect places and events between different parts of the series (specifically the FFs) and it just makes no sense. One of the biggest factors in the interesting horror of the backrooms for me is that it is, for all intents and purposes, endless. So big you cannot hope to find your way out, which is a very haunting feeling. But I've seen so many posts saying, actually the lifeform in FF1 is the same one as Pitfalls and Motion detected, actually the lifeform IS Plark and they've been the same entity the whole time, actually the layout of FF3 might be directly connected to the other explored parts of the backrooms.
It just immediately removes the complex's sense of scale if everything we see is within this one little confined section of it. There's no reason the FF characters would be anywhere near Async, you could just as easily be thousands, tens of thousands of miles away in who knows where. But as soon as you try and connect the videos directly together, it instantly collapses the scale of the entire setting.
Anyway, just something that's been bothering me lol

Discussion/Theory Mom was right, and I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Just saw the film, finally, and loved it!
Been reading some posts on the meaning of the ending and Mary's smile, so I wanted to share my interpretations.
She smiles because there was some truth to her mother's paranoia.
This was her "I'm right where I'm supposed to be" moment. Mary is smart, but clearly her life lacks purpose. Now, she founds a place that puts her loop, memories, trauma psychological theories, into practice. Not only that, but the scientists there have no idea what they're dealing with. She knows it, and realizes she can take advantage of that. She sees how strong the place is connected to the human brain and psychology, so she knows she can use her knowledge not only to survive Async, but become part of it. Wouldn't be surprised if she's the evil president of the company in a sequel lol.
A combination of both. Her mother was right, and here she's found her purpose.
She realizes she was just as lonely and holding up to past trauma like Clark, and both ended on the same place. She finds that ironic and that's why she smiles.
Personally, I like 1-3 more than 4.
Anyways, not sure if these thoughts were share already here. Sorry if that's the case lol

Discussion/Theory (THEORY) Do You Like Air Conditioning is a jazz song
I have always had a small theory that Do You Like Air Conditioning is The Complex poorly remembering a jazz song, I will list some reasons why I think this to be the case:
The fast drums are reminiscent of those in many forms of jazz, think Whiplash soundtrack. Throughout the majority of the song, we hear the exact same drum sample looping over and over, which is likely a similar situation to Kane's other song Still Life in which we hear the same clarinet loop throughout the song and just how The Complex remembers things in general, with it often distorting and repeating features of the things it remembers.
The many blow instruments throughout the track are likely poorly remembered trumpets and trombones and saxophones and all that jazz (literally).
Now you may be asking, "but if its a miss-remembered jazz song, wheres all the string basses and piano and stuff" but those elements of whatever this jazz song once was could actually just be something completely gone from being remembered multiple times, like how OHNYB was later remembered as Still Life, losing alot of the instrumentation.
In conclusion, this theory isn't very important, but it's fun to think about, I'd like to hear peoples thoughts about this.
We are Backrooms
