Furby's voice


Does someone have an explanation for the difference in Furby's voice when he speaks through the walkie-talkie? At first, the group hears an old raspy voice saying "Help me". Later on, when playing back Furby's camera we see and hear him say the exact same words but with is normal "kid voice". I thought we'd get an answer for this but if there was one, I missed it.

It's just a small detail but it bugs me a little. What do you think?

His voice sounded different/bad because he was injured badly from the fall so he was speaking with agonizing pain. And it was over a walkie-talkie.

reply

Yeah but the way I understood it, it was two versions of the same instance (one heard in "real", by us, and the other over walkie-talkie by the others). It couldn't be that distorted.

Maybe you are right and that were two different moments. I just had the feeling it was the same and that it was a weird time/space twist that I didn't understand well.

I agree. It is a mistake, I think.

Or it can be explained if time inside the cave s varying also ... meaning, the kid's voice would sound distorted like a record playing on slow sound speed.

It is not a mistake, but as you pointed out yourself.
When Taylor finds Hopper, he informs him that time in the cave moves differently and you can also see it in that scene very well. There are still alive Conquistadore fighting with Natives and in the same time frame is Hoppers sister as kid and a man hunting her. Earlier you see Hopper also following the cowboy into the cave, the cowboy walks in ulta slow mo (but visible) for him until he follow him into the time trap. He then exit and it seem like a few years passed.
Same seems to be with the gang, Furby communicate with them, but if they had been already in the same time trap as him, he had been long time dead as in that part years are passing by in a few seconds. They also find Hoppers Mom, just died, if she had been in the same time trap, this had been just seconds - even with the cavemen way too less time to die.

tldr: The walkie talkie was so strange because of the time distortion. Like with the slo mo cowboy to Hopper.
