John Dies at the End/Headscratchers

• Is Korrok responsible for all the weird shit that happens to them? Including the soy sauce and the parallel universe they stumble into at the end and the worm creatures like Shitload?
  • The sauce? Maybe. The parallely universe? Yes, but actually in reverse: Korrok is a consequence of that universe. The worm creatures? Yes, totally.

• Why doesn't Korrok just kill Dave and John or erase them from history now that they've breached the universe?
  • Because he had bigger plans. Bigger plans that would have killed John and Dave anyway. If you mean after they come back... one assumes that the explosion had an effect on Korrok too, despite the Eldritch Abomination overtones. A better question would be why the Shadow Men don't just erase Dave and John instead.
  • Dave and John are special in some way, which is the reason they survived taking the sauce. Presumably, they can't be directly rewritten like that.

• How did Robert Marley get his hands on the soy sauce?
  • I'm guessing the same way as everyone else- somebody dealt him it and somebody dealt them it and so on. Where it originated is a different question.

• What was the deal with the the robotic Amy Dave briefly sees?
  • I thought that was just supposed to be a replacement- a pretty crappy attempt to cover up Amy being taken.
    • Also, it's more a mannequin than a robot. But that makes the hole "bag full of fat" deal even weirder. Did they just expect the people on this side to not notice if they sent a bag with her exact weight in her place?
      • I was under the impression that the mannequin was a failed attempt to switch Amy with monster Amy. Like they tried to beam monster Amy in but it didn't work, and all that they managed to get across were some unassembled raw materials (the mannequin and the bag of fat)
        • Yea, I suspected that but... they had already sent two monster people into our world. Why were they still experimenting? From the moment they got Monster Dave in, they were already proficient in doing that.

• Why didn't Monster Dave go evil?
  • Maybe something to do with that spider eating scene. Or Molly.

• What's a different reality and what isn't? The door they go through at the mall with the elevator and Robert North, is that an alternate reality? North says he's from there and he clearly wasn't from Earth, so I thought it was. But then they go through the portal and it's said to be the first time anybody has ever travelled between worlds/dimensions/realities. So just what the hell was that in-between stage?
  • The "interdimensional bazaar" at the mall seems to be more like... a "ghost location". Something like the chamber under Robert Marley's trailer. It's just an "overseas operation" from Shit Narnia into our world, but still part of our reality.

• Why does no one even bother learning Robert Marley's real name(yea, me included)? Even the cop seems to just use it once when telling Dave who was that on the photo and then never more.

• If first person shooter games were only retconned into existence a couple of months ago, how come John and the sportscaster were both familiar with their tropes during much earlier events? Granted, you can get around that by simply concluding that Arnie was delusional, but that seems a bit of a cop-out.
  • I'm unsure of the "earlier events" you're referring to but I'm sure they can edit something into history the same way they can edit something out of it.
  • Same reason no one else noticed. Or, for a better example, same reason Dave was able to remember that guy's wife who got Ret-Gone'ed, but not Tony. It seems to go off Doctor Who rules for Ret-Gone: If you're special (you've used the sauce or are a time traveler), you can spot the changes--unless its a major part of your life, in which case you can't.
