Thinking of a scenario where they really do pull Simon up, but they decide to dispose of him anyway.
Unbeknownst to the C.O.I., the hive mind in the blood ocean was just like: "nah. That one's already mine. His blood is my blood."
So, they dispose of him. It's a whole deal. He's hazardous waste. It's ugly and brutal and they put him down screaming.
But, Simon wakes up in a body bag completely fucking wrong. Like an alternate. Like one of those things from No, I'm Not a Human.
Do you think if someone from the C.O.I. shoots him, a bunch of freaky blood worms fall out or something? Oops! All Mutation :)
He's not dangerous. Not really. Just sort of... idles. Reacts like a person, walks and talks like one... but, there's no way he should be alive in any capacity. Nobody can get rid of him. Locking him in a room doesn't do anything. He's always somewhere else the moment eyes are off of him.
Doesn't eat. Doesn't drink.
Acts like he's waiting for something he has no ability to describe with human words. Babbles about things nobody can make sense of. Knows things he shouldn't. Talkative but in a way that makes everyone uncomfortable.
There's no anger. No determination. It's not Simon. It's just not.

I see you... IRON LUNG (2026) dir. Markiplier
major iron lung spoilers ‼️🩸
thinking about when simon was in the crawlspace trying to get the engine to start, and then he's startled by THE SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS WALKING IN THE SUB AND PUTTING TAPE ON THE BUTTON?!?!??! literally like an echoed soundbite of the scene right before he went into the crawlspace?? true eldritch fuckery. i love being right there with him in his delirium, not knowing what's real and what's not. simon's being fucked with and so are we, because we are him.
haven't seen anyone else talk about this. it took me a couple watches to notice, but you can literally hear the tape UNROLL.
I feel like this falls into the same category as simon seeing the bloody figure sitting at the controls, which I've seen people say is what he turns into by the end of the film, and I agree, with the mutations and the missing arm, YES.
there's this blending of past/present/future throughout the film that is done super well because simon is not only haunted by his past, but also his future; he just wants his freedom, he just wants to live... but not everyone gets to be saved. which then ties back into the whole concept of the quiet rapture, the massive, catastrophic event that killed almost the entire human population. nobody could save them. not even if they wanted to.
god i want to see this movie again.
First animatic I've completed in a couple years - so inspired by Iron Lung's world and production story
The Stan O’ War II bumping into some Lovecraft.
