Forbiden Planet Movie, Thoughts and Questions on there Universe.

I figure Morbius isn't as knowledgeable about the Krell as he imagines himself to be. The Krell may have planned a first step of non-instrumentality but planned further to go full non-physicality becoming some kind of creatures of pure thought and energy. The self destruct was just the clean up device after they transitioned to a higher plane of existence.

Interesting. So perhaps Krell should be spelled Q'Rell.

Their society was destroyed in a single night of absolute carnage, and the Krell never understood how or why it was occurring.

Another theory. It was not placed by the Krell. The machine put it there when it sensed Morphius' desire, nay need for same to expunge the guilt from his own soul. Of course it was handy.

I'm always amazed at how natural those actors look in that setting.
