Benji the Plant

Picture of Benji and his beauty

## Benji the Plant (Character)

An impartial character in the Squeeze Series. He is a green potted Dudleya Plant with a brown sign with the name Benji written on it in a black marker. Benji lived with Hunter Mast but unfortunately has passed away since his appearance in the second film. He is a mysterious and unasuming character that sits back and watches events happen. His goals, motives, and alignment are all unknown but that does not mean he is what he appears to be.

## Canonical role in Videos:

So far Benji has played a passive role in the series as a whole. He only appears in the second film as of this point.

### The Squeeze 2: No Time to Squeeze

Benji appears only in the very beginning of the squeeze 2. He is shown on the counter top and is clearly visible in the opening cinimatic shot of the film. less obviously, he can also be seen in the background shot of one of the camera angles of the bathroom stall interaction.

## Non Canonical Appearances

This is the list of links and references of which Benji the Plant has appeared outside of the canon of the Squeeze Cinematic Universe

### What in the World is the Church Supposed to be?

Benji appears in this Benson 305 "Creative Project" featuring the cast of the Squeeze Series but not the characters.

## Potential Theories

#### Benji the Interdimensional God

There is a theory that is believed among many of the fans of the squeeze series that Benji the Plant is a god or an observer of worlds that can be seen sitting in the background of the second squeeze film. The power that Benji holds is not limited to the squeeze itself either. The main drive of this theory comes from the trivia fact that Benji is the only canonical character to appear outside of the canon of the squeeze in other works made by Benson 305. This fact alone gives Benji a power that none of the other characters in this series possess so far. That being said, Benji does not seem to interfere with the events that happen in both The Squeeze and The Squeeze 2, which might suggest that Benji does not feel it is neccesary or required to interfere, but it is neccesary to watch the events unfold (possibly to make sure that everything happens as it needs to.)

All this being said, this seems to set up Benji as some sort of interdimensional guardian that tries to make sure events take place when they need to and the way they need to. The fact that Caleb is alive might be attributed to the possibility that Benji wants Caleb alive (at least for now.) This also might be able to tie into Caleb's dreams, as his dreams have still gone unexplained in the series. These dreams could be Benji's manipulations to steer Caleb in the right direction similar to a warning. In The Squeeze 2, the dream Caleb has is the kevin fight, the fight Caleb fought in the first film, which seemed to warn Caleb about the monkeys coming to get Caleb later on in the film.

if we tie in the theory that Kevin and Snake Eye are related or the same, then it could have been a forewarning towards Snake Eye himself. If we tie this with the theory that Thomas was watching Caleb and Snake Eye, then we could assume that Benji manipulated Thomas with weird dreams as well that convinced him to check up on them. This could go back to even the first film since Thomas admits to Caleb that things have been weird for him as well. The only theory that this doesn't easily fit into is CCT's theory where he manipulates dreams, unless CCT is either a similar and an opposed being to Benji himself. This might prompt Benji to warn Caleb about CCT's presence in a way that repulses him (as seen in the first film,) to give Caleb a subconsious reason to immediatly dislike and oppose CCT.

We don't know either Benji or CCT's alignment with Caleb. It's quite possible that Benji is Good and CCT is evil, the other way way around, or a mix of grey between the two extremes that could result in Caleb being a pawn in a multidimensional battlefield. Not enough information is known as none of them seemed to have intervened in a non disprovable way just yet.

## Random Trivia

* Benji the Plant is the only character that explicitly appears in the "Creative Project" by a technicality because he is not mentioned in the credits by name. Every other character in that film is played by our actors but the names of their characters do not match up. For example Caleb Jenkinson [Actor] is the "Church Character" and Kevin [Actor] is playing the "Inclusive Dinner Character." This is the case for every character in the film, except benji who is not referenced in the credits.
