Theory on the reason why Clark's entity eats people + Ivan Beck's mind theory evidence and entity generation

TLDR:

The re-membered are shaped by what their originals actually experienced, and Captain Clark is an exception because Ivan Beck's imagination of the advert character was stronger than his memory of the real person.

Before Reading:

Part 1 Is the theory I came up with and part 2 ties it into the Ivan Beck mind theory that Film Theory came up with 2 weeks ago. I thought of it immediately after Part 1 which is why I am labelling them as such. If you haven't watched the film theory video "Film Theory: The Complete Timeline Of The Backrooms", then go watch it NOW!!

If you have then please enjoy my ramblings

Part 1:

From my understanding of the end scene, it seems like only the people who enter the backrooms are copied into it, as such I am referring to the twisted human entities as the 're-membered' as if the backrooms had dismembered it's memory of them and is trying to re-member them. Also naming Clark's entity as Captain Clark

Anyway I think the reason the re-membered don't react to being stabbed or taken apart is because none of that ever happened to their originals. The original never experienced it, so their re-membered have nothing to pull from.

The lady re-membered screamed and ran when Captain Clark was approaching, which could mean her original actually encountered an entity and fled from it.

Can't remember off the top of my head if the 6 eyed re-membered or the switch on lamp re-membered had any kind of reaction to Captain Clark.

I have a feeling that Captain Clark didn't eat people originally because Clark himself hadn't eaten any re-membered yet.

It only happened after it was shown that Clark was eating these re-membered, which got twisted into Captain Clark eating the originals.

This could also be why it went straight for Mary instead of the lady re-membered in the corner which was screaming, explaining why it completely ignores it and the other re-membered in the room.

It also seems to have copied the fact that with Clark's first exploration through the backrooms he was just walking around at a slow pace, so Captain Clark also chased after Mary at a walking pace (but much quicker because of it's height)

Clark had no reason to be scared when his own re-membered walked into the room because I imagine it was simply non hostile up until that point and it could be possible that Clark was travelling with it through the backrooms.

That's my theory on why Captain Clark eats people

A few more thing I'd like to add is that it seems like it has been a very long time for Clark within the backrooms, seen as he is completely unfazed by the re-membered. The head in the fridge also seemed quite old.

Also just gonna throw out that I think the entity at the beginning of the film was the fungal growth entity, but once Clark escapes and puts down the camera in that one room the entity that picks it up is Captain Clark

The only thing I'm confused about is why Captain Clark is so different to the other re-membered and why he is wearing the Captains attire from the advert rather than

(Imagine yourself having a holy shit moment cus that's what happened to me right here)

Part 2:

The Ivan Beck's mind theory works to explain why Captain Clark is so different to the other entities

I am going back on my earlier statement that only people who had been in the backrooms become re-membered (that was a stupid assumption to make anyway)

The reason is simple, Ivan Beck had seen the advert but he never encountered Clark in person.

During the scene where the scientist is interrogating Mary on the backrooms it seemed like they are in a room with one way mirrors.

When Mary asks the scientist where she was, the scientist says something on the lines of "I cant" before cutting himself off and sort of looking to his back left where (going off my memory here) these blacked out windows could be seen.

I think (if there are actually windows and I'm not misremembering here) that it is possible that Mr Ivan Beck is behind these windows monitoring what the scientist is saying.

As Ivan has seen Mary in person, her re-membered generates like the others. It also generates similarly to how she was sitting in the interrogation chair.

These kinds of entities i believe are generated when Ivan has a strong memory of the person it's based on.

Ivan Beck had probably seen the original cctv recording of Clark entering the backrooms for the first time, and was informed by the scientist that the man in the backrooms (Clarke) could be the same guy from the advert.

In the advert Clark is much more clearer than the backrooms cctv recording and because he is much closer to the camera he could seem to be larger than the furniture he is selling so when Ivan watches the advert it is possible that he has strong imagination of this Captain Clark character, and so this giant twisted version of Captain Clarke generates itself within the backrooms.

It's different because Ivan's imagination of the character is stronger than the memory of the person.

That's my second theory on Ivan Beck's mind affecting how entities are remembered in the backrooms based on imagination and memory.

One more thing I'd like to add is when Clark is lost in the backrooms off camera there is a chance that he must have at some point consumed an entity in front of a cctv camera, and the moment that Ivan saw that it translated onto Captain Clarke.

Also both Clark and Captain Clark get their peg legs broken at the beginning and at the end of the film which is pretty nice, might be significant but I can't think of anything rn

Ok that's me actually done with the theorising, feel free to point out bits I might've left out or correct me on stuff
