"Rumble" theories, headcanons, and musings

My personal opinion on the events in the movie and the events before and after it. Correct me if something is wrong!

Perhaps I've gone too far, but I think - it's closer to the reality of the world we were shown in the movie.

Theory on the disappearance of Rayburn and Jimbo. At the beginning of the movie we are told that they disappeared (died) somewhere at the sea. After we are shown Stoker's new monster - Tentacular, which all his appearance indicates he's marine-type monster. Based on these two facts we conclude that Tentacular is involved in the disappearance of Rayburn and Jimbo. Brilliant deduction, I know.

Headcanons!

Tentacular got a scar on his face from Rayburn's claws when he tried to drown him.

T and Rayburn are about the same age and knew each other long before the events of the movie. Their paths parted after Ray's decision to become a wrestler and the birth of Steve (Rayburn Jr.). Hence, the envy of success and the desire to be better than his former friend.

Back to the theory. Tentacular comes in Stoker sometime after the tragedy, under the guise of "I hear you're looking for a new champion". Since the town had big problems and came in grief after the "disappearance" of their favorites, they gladly accept T, and Siggy becomes his trainer.

Headcanons!

Siggy probably knows that Tentacular is involved in the deaths of Jimbo and Rayburn, but doesn't show it until he's sure it's true. OR he took part in it too.

The loss of his leg is unrelated to the incident in the sea, as in the movie in Vinnie's flashbacks, Sig was already wearing a prosthetic leg.

After the death of his father, Steve may have lived with his mother away from the city for some time. There is no mention of her in the movie, but I assume she just lives somewhere far far away from civilization. The second option - Steve leave town and just wandered around the region/state for a few years until he got into underground monster fights because he needed money to keep living.

Another interesting moment. Siggy tells Winnie to stop the fight, because if Tentacular senses blood, the situation will get out of hand. What did he mean by that? Sharks have a phenomenon called "food fever." It's when there's a lot of blood in a place and the amount of blood makes sharks go crazy and eat everything. T is a shark, and a pretty big one; perhaps his senses are more heightened than normal sharks too. If Steve got a nosebleed during a fight, for example, T would probably go berserk and destroy not only the arena, but also the stadium and even the entire city. Of course, not without casualties, and here the irreversible process of total 4uckup. We wouldn't see it in the movie, so we will stop only at the destruction of the stadium (take into: all the people have time to evacuate).

Other.

Not all monsters in the movie universe are wrestlers. Example: Mac is a monster who works as a commentator (albeit on the subject of wrestling). Monsters, due to their incredible strength, can be useful in professions where that strength is especially valuable. Such as construction and demolition on a large scale, heavy lifting, working at heights/depths, mining, etc. Those who are not satisfied with either of those things go into the creative arts. I'd really like to see a monster DJ!!!

"Tentacular" is a stage name. Personally, I think the name "Nigel" would suit him perfectly. Name meaning: champion, perseverance, independence, zeal; also: cruelty, egoism, envy, hatred. The colors are blue and purple, the element is water. 100% hit. It's compatible with his looks, too.

Steve and his father can tolerate extra high temperatures.

In the second part of the movie (if it ever comes out) Steve will bring his "dancing style" to the end and it will be more like wrestling. However, lazy as he was, he will remain lazy.

There is a very small chance that Rayburn and Jimbo survived, but decided to lay low after the "mysterious disappearance".

Ray and T are about 20-23 years old at the time of their friendship (before the movie), 35-45 years old during the movie. Steve is 3-5 years older than Winnie. I can get very confused about the timing of what's going on in the movie, so consider this as headcanon. I'm having trouble with "time feeling"…

Winnie is a foot-fetishist.

Just saw Rumble (2021) and I have a few headcanons and ideas

Warning for spoilers: mostly character focused and how the story could have been a wee bit spicier

Humans and Kaiju/Monsters ended up co-evoling similar to humans and wolves. It's rather reminiscent of the Monster Hunter universe, with humanity having to live alongside things so much bigger than them.

It's pretty normal for a monster to have a human counterpart and vice-versa. Think a crocodile and a plover, the two benefit from one another.

Steve is older than Winnie by about 5-to-6 years. They were raised together for most of their childhoods, save for when Rayburn Sr took his son with him to away matches. Steve is pretty much Winnie's older brother.

Steve spent most of his childhood summers wherever his dad was fighting. He was in Cuba the summer before his dad passed away.

Not saying that Rayburn Sr was a *horrible* dad persay... but he expected his son to follow exactly in his footsteps and had hints of toxic masculinity when he discouraged young Steve from dancing. He seems like he was a "Stage Dad" in a sense of pushing Steve towards fighting.

I imagine that Steve left Stoker shortly after his dad's death. He got sick of the sorry's and the judgemental gazes whenever he was just being himself. Steve comments that puberty "wasn't easy", hinting that he left Stoker/ran away as a teenager.

Steve ended up in Pittsmore in an attempt to find himself. He only knew one thing: fighting. And Lady Mayhem was the only one willing to hire him.

I hc that Tentacular was born in Stoker and had initially grown up with Steve/Rayburn Jr. The two were friends, but lost contact after Steve ran away. The night before he ran away, Steve told T to become the best fighter he could - anime childhood friends-to-rivals trope.

Tentacular was Rayburn Sr's understudy - trained to take his place in case of injury or in tag teams. This sorta left the him bitter since the media/and the league only saw him as an extension of Rayburn. This leads to his egomania and resentment towards Rayburn's legacy later on.

Tentacular honestly didn't recognise his opponent until Steve said it outright. He's still grappling with the thoughts that his childhood best friend came back to kick his ass.

Most monsters have a "family/true name" and a "stage name". Rayburn Sr was an exception in that his name was one in the same. Steve continues to go as "Steve" to his friends and family, as he feels that "Rayburn Jr" was never really meant to be anything but a title.

Tentacular has a true name and only Steve and Siggy know what it is. It begins with a "T".

After the championship in Stoker, Steve goes out of his way to reconnect with the people he left behind after his dad's death... including Tentacular. Thing get a bit spicier from there

I am having way too many thoughts about a film that currently doesnt even have an Ao3 tag
