MOVIE SPOILERS !! Scroll away if you haven’t seen the movie ^^
I honestly really really like the “Pirate Clark is actually Real Clark” theory and I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I’m gonna drop some further observations to support the theory because I caught myself sobbing over it earlier, I NEED TO YAP.
So we all know Clark was in the backrooms for a month. We don’t really get into it that much in the movie, but I like to think that Pirate Clark is the result of exposure to the bacteria. (Disclaimer: Bacteria ≠ the lifeform) Maybe the bacteria is like some spores or something. Or maybe the bacteria IS a separate entity, who knows. The bacteria infected Clark MLP infection AU style and slowly progressed him into Pirate Clark.
I also wanted to note that his eyes + expression are super fearful and almost sad looking. Not happy, not even angry, just sad. Terrified. The bacteria slowly degrades his physical form AND his intelligence (ability to speak/function like a human), Clark knows what he’s become.
Now what about the other Clark? I don’t really have any other logical explanation other than he’s just a mimic. He’s an entity, yes, but he’s not a still life. There has to be other entities. This also supports that Pirate Clark isn’t a still life and that he’s a bacterial host. Dinner scene Clark is a version of him. The two are two sides of the same coin, hence why Dinner Scene Clark also experiences Clark’s emotions and memories. Maybe Dinner Clark’s amazement at the still lives was a facade to keep Mary closer? Then again he untied her, but with the trust that she’d maybe change her mind. Long story short: it could honestly be anything with Dinner Scene Clark.
Back to Pirate Clark — He’s shown no violence in the Month of “Clark” being there, he even treats Pirate Clark like a friend. He even reassures him “we don’t have to change.” Except after seeing Mary, it was finally an excuse, it was a glimmer of hope. Pirate Clark WANTS to change, he wants to revert his condition. He doesn’t know how, but he’s mindlessly desperate. So in response, he kills the other Clark and chases after Mary. Also notice how the RedHead still life and the wheelchair still life were freaking out as Pirate Clark showed up? They knew shit was up. We see Pirate Clark chasing Mary, but we never actually see him do harm to her. He can’t speak, he can only yell out and run after her. His noises felt less like “GRARRR I’M GONNA EAT YOU1!!1!” and more like “No, no no. Please don’t go, this is my only chance to get help. I’ve changed my mind, I don’t want to be here.” Even after he loses his peg leg, he still crawls to her desperately. When he eventually crawls over, it feels more like he’s trying to reach out to her (anddd cue the tears.) He did lean his head down but he never opened his mouth to bite down or anything. If anything, he looked exhausted. Even when she was bashing his head in, he didn’t care, he just wanted her help, he wanted ANYTHING.
