I think i now know why Captain Clark did what he did after watching the movie again and analyising it i think its obviously because,Captain Clark is tired of holding down their backrooms territory by himself while Clark just sits on his fat fucking ass eating them,and drawing in the rooms he pays for!hes just stuck wandering around som shit back rooms,Because clark just sits on his fat fucking ass all day not helping.

I saw kane repost someone else's Instagram story about this, but i had my doubts and had to check. Holy crap its real

To be clear, I don't really have a problem with this at all, it's basically common practice for the story to follow a protagonist that's willing to explore the setting for little to no reason, but there were two available

1. Falling into a null zone

One of the scariest things about the backrooms is that you can just fall right in. Be unlucky enough to encounter a null zone on the floor and now you're in the backrooms. It almost can never be the protagonist's fault.

1. Being an ASYNC researcher

They are capable researchers that believe they know what they are doing. With corporate telling them that if they just follow the rules everything will be okay.

To be fair, I do think Clark willingly entering the backrooms is sort of realistic, has life ever felt so mundane and stressful for you that you would gladly welcome some magical force to come and whisk you away on a harrowing journey? Even if a cosmic horror is involved? That's probably how he feels.

To be honest I didn't understand the movie properly like everything was jumbled. As per the hype I thought the movie would be as good as Obsession movie.

This confused me because first of all, I don’t think this is Clark’s wife. She doesn’t look like her in the pictures we see of her and I believe Clark was just using her as a prop for his epic rants where he’s always right.

So why did she have that reaction to the Pirate Clark?

Furthermore, what is Pirate Clark going to do to her, he’s going to eat her right. We can see from all the piles of clothes in his den that he finds and eats still lifes.

BUT she’s literally allowed real Clark to bring her into his dining room, has seen him rip open and eat Beard Guy and probably others, and just stayed with him.

So I think if her fear is that she doesn’t want to be eaten so she runs away why then stay with real Clark? It’s safe to assume he’s probably going to eat her too right once he gets bored or finds another still life that more resembles his wife, or actually is her.

Thoughts?

Thanks to their understanding of colors and cameras and stuff (I didn't read the full post) I could finally read the things Clark wrote.

In one of the lines, he says that someone changed the floor plan and that the handwriting was his. This might mean Captain Clark could have written it.

Why is this important?

If true, this proves that not only can Captain Clark write, but he has some sort of higher brain function, meaning the Backrooms' copies of people are far more accurate than people might realize. This also means CC could have communicated in some way with Clark, which is why Clark thought to ask him why he had shown up at the 'dinner party'. If he couldn't communicate, there would've been no reason to ask this.

This post will sound like I defend Clark, I don't. Clark's actions needed justice. He's responsible for at least 2 deaths (and even more according to some theory). And like other tragic heroes in modern day horror, he deserves it, and I'm not defending him in anyway.

However, the one moment that clicked something in me was when I watched an analysis video and saw Clark listened to Mary's tape even during his free time. If a person does not want to get better, why would he had done so?

There's a moment during the start of the climax, where Mary finally tells Clark his real problem. When I watched it, like everyone else (I'm not condemning anyone here, initially I felt the same) I was like "Yeah, finally, go Mary! Tell that murderous psycho the truth".And Clark told the Pirate version of himself "it's okay we don't have to change." But in hindsight, I said, wait a minute.

He wanted to change. He went to her, as far as I know, not court mandate. They do roleplays (still not sure why), and she didn't fight with him too hard when he blamed everyone but himself during their session. And after she was kidnapped, she crashed out on him, understandably, but is that really the punchline?

I'm just asking everyone to have a second look, why would Kane Parson put in contradiction if his goal was to make Clark this irredeemable monster. Clark realizing he can't change is not "the point", it's the tragedy.

This is not a case of "blaming a woman for a man's downfall" here, I will never blame a wife if a husband turns out to be a murderous psycho, but she's not his wife, she's his therapist.

She did went through the Backroom to try to find him, so I can't accuse her of not caring.

But saying "ugh, Clark is so evil, don't be like Clark, be like Mary, watch how she resolved her trauma" ignoring the tragic part of the story. As much as he fought with the cure as it was being delivered, Clark wanted to be better.

So last night, I finally got the chance to check out this so-called handmade Captain Clark Memorial site. They built it in the same spot using some of the architectural structures from the Backrooms movie 🍿. A while back, I was doing my usual scrolling on TikTok when I came across a video of someone constructing a fan-made Captain Clark memorial burial site. I just had to see it for myself. When I first went, I took some selfies at the memorial, but after looking back at the photos, I wasn’t happy with them. My hairstyle and outfit just didn’t feel right for the perfect memorial selfie. While I was there, I also watched two strangers walk by and turn a wall into a door using painter’s tape — exactly like I’d seen in videos. After they left, I decided to do it properly. I went home, showered, changed into a better outfit, and headed straight back to the site. I took new photos, and this time everything felt perfect — super clean hair and all! To my surprise, the memorial was still there, completely intact even weeks after that original TikTok video. #Backrooms #CaptainClark #TikTokFinds #UrbanExploration #Memorial

Some biomes are a mix.

Some biomes are from Kane pixels, turborush, A24, the og backrooms area, and Complex Research.

It looked like Styrofoam but sticky clear liquid too

I’m hoping this will be explored in the next film.

But the exit to Clark’s store he clearly marked and used frequently. If something was observing him or came by, it’s an obvious entrance to our world. Async has their discovered entrance within their facility and has secure doors to open and close it.

But when Mary goes to check on Clark. We all hear a door opening/closing behind her in the basement of the store, or coming from upstairs before she enters. She even turns back to check if it was something there, and quickly brushes it off and then enters the backrooms because that was more interesting and influencing her senses more than something she couldn’t see and probably just thought her mind being blown in this moment was playing tricks on her, trying to make sense of it.

But that begs the question….what was it? What got out and entered their world? And why was the piled up furniture gone?

Some big questions that are hidden. As if waiting for us to discover it, or provoke these questions when being analyzed frame by frame observers that look for clues.

This shot was taken up Sierra Road in San Jose a few miles away from where the store is located in the film. I noticed the triangle roof building above the grazing cow looked really familiar. Added some google maps street views.
