Basically as per the title. One of the popular theories going around is that the "monster" had something to do with the french distress signal. "It killed them, It killed them all" etc. etc. but then the message says, "brendan has the keys". Ok so Brendan who's he? is he dead or something else? Without more informatoin it's hard to tell so instead i'll just focus on the part i think is important, he has the keys. What keys? Perhaps the keys to the monsters prison? (also what if they're not actually keys as we know them but like a code or something which would explain why brendan can't help as he's dead too).
Remember what the story of the comic book is? An alien crash lands on earth and is then captured and contained by scientists. During it's captivity it gets sick and as a a result calls in a bunch of it's "alien" friends to help it destroy the world in vengeance.
What if our "monster" is in a similar situation but it's still stuck, i mean perhaps 16 years ago it gets captured by the french now we all assumed that the thing in the trees is what the french lady whas talking about but what if it's not? Maybe the monster has called for help just like in the comic book, perhaps that's what the thing in the trees is the "help" the monster called it or even perhaps created it, but all the help could do was kill all the people (minus one angry french lady who is now hanging out on the black rock). Not actually use the "keys" to free the creature, so the creature and it's "help" have been hanging out on this island for 16 years trying to get free. Perhaps the creature has since then been trying to get free by bringing various animals it could to the island (eg. polar bear), the creature would probably be reluctant to bring humans to the island because it was humans who hurt it last time. But maybe it's getting desperate it wants out and so it took a risk and bought a plane down on the island, preserving part of it with it's powers and friends to make sure it would have human survivors. It would explain why the pilot gets killed as well, also why joanne got killed. It doesn't want them to leave the island, so it kills the pilot (who could help them) and then it kills the person swimming (she might have swam away) but it leaves the rest. Perhaps that's why it hasn't killed anyone else, it wants as many people as possible so hopefully one of them will be able to free it but it has to kill anyone who looks like they could find a way off the island because it can't take the risk of this group leaving without freeing it.
It would explain why jack and locke are still alive as well.
I'd even go so far as to say that maybe our "monster" has mental powers besides just calling for help, it can control animals perhaps? it would explain the polar bear attack and it could mean that the thing in the trees is just an animal, but an animal (perhaps a wooly mammoth) thats under control of the creature. Not to mention it could also explain all the other oddities to the island, why was jacks dad leading jack to water? Because the monster realised they needed water, so it places an image in jacks head (an image of something it could sense was important to jack, important enough to get him to follow it).
Wow this theory gets bigger the more i think about it.
Perhaps it's mind powers aren't total, you know it can't control humans but it can control lesser minds which is why all the animals are working for it but why it has to get to the humans another way. By befriending them even, hence locke and the boar, jack and the water, maybe even as per the comic book the polar bear attack was simply to make the party focus, get on with the job and find the distress message. It would suit the monsters purposes really, now the humans on the island know about the french chick and they now know that noone has got off the island for 16 years. If it can't communicate with them directly (and it would seem like it can't otherwise it would have already) it's going to have to have the survivors figure all this out themselves hence why it wants them to hear the distress signal.
hmm i could keep going with this but i think i'll let it sit for a bit while i put some more thought into it.
