The thing was mid.
Only good thing about was the practical effects and comfy snow setting.
So it's kino then, fricking moron
Kys moron
whenever i see a frogpost i can be confident that i'm going to read the stupidest most wrong thing i've read that day.
everything new is a shitty copy of everything old. your racist grandpa has better taste than you do.
Literally the dumbest comment ever on this board. Touch grass.
also no wimmen
nah its one of the greatest movies of all time and possibly the best horror
homie shit was mid asf fr fr doe ong n my mama, dat shit straight mid
>guy on camera the whole time or guy that disappeared for hours and magically reappears when everyone else is dead
truly a mystery
He actually confirmed it, he wrote and oversaw a low budget pc game that everyone forgot about, its the official canon sequel.
that game was great.
Bro that game sucked, you could blood test someone you knew was the thing literally seconds before their scripted transformation and it would give you a negative test result. Shit was 100% on rails
john carpenter didn't write this game which by the way is a bullshit game
here's a classic review from the dead lowtax
https://www.somethingawful.com/game-reviews/the-thing/1/
that’s a frickin blast from the past, i remember reading that 20 years ago on my family’s gateway
>William B. Davis
fricking wat
well now we know at least one was the thing.
In fact, he and other ppl directly involved admitted that 1)the script deliberately avoided a background story for who was the thing and 2)neither MacReady or Childs were the thing. Carpenter's just taking the piss, he's done that before
Details here:

>2)neither MacReady or Childs were the thing.
This is what I always thought.
It's been canonically endorsed by the videogame where Carpenter has a cameo btw. Some scenes-- including the ending-- are on youtube
I drunk watched jerma play it years ago before he became an insufferable homosexual sellout.
It’s the ideal ending that a non hack would do. The point is that neither of them are sure neither is a thing imposter. Symbolizes the paranoia of the entire film
I never thought any of them were
why would anyone
Because Childs is a Thing and the movie does literally everything it can to SHOW you that aside from actually having him split open into a monster on the damn screen.
>Shows you that Childs is tired and falling asleep on guard duty
>Shows Mac walk up to him and Childs doesn't notice until he speaks
>Has a scene with no people, just to specifically show that the generator room stairs are right next to the door Childs is guarding and that anyone walking up them would get the drop on Childs
>Shows Childs missing and the coats rearranged
>Shows Childs stumble out into the snow and seconds later the power to the base shuts off, indicating TA-DA! that a bad guy is in the generator room!
>Has Childs return at the very end, with a different coat, with a flimsy, nonsensical excuse that he saw Blair running out in the snow. He has no reason why that would cause him to abandon his post and the people depending on him to go get lost in the snow. And it's obviously not true since the power goes out.
more like Adults
Wrong.
It was me, I escaped and became the most racist being alive.
it's childs
he's drinking from a bottle full of gasoline and isn't reacting since he doesn't know the taste
Apparently that's just a better idea than anything the movie makers were thinking.
does he ever specifically put gasoline into the bottles?
if it's just high proof booze (which it probably is, I think it's scotch) it could be flammable enough without any accelerant
The movie makers made it ambiguous, so people would talk about the movie for 40+ years you sperg. You wanted a marvel quip at the end, moron?
>We should prepare our own meals and eat only out of cans
The drink doesn’t even need to be gasoline, if Childs wasn’t a thing he wouldn’t have taken a drink from MaCready at all for fear of infection from sharing a drink with anyone who might be infected.
how does he know?
Carpenter is an overrated gay that made more dogshit movies than good
>both of them where things
Who cares?
AI could generate infinite sequels where either are Things, or neither are Things, or both are Things.
Why is Carpenter's version of this fictional story more valid than mine?
Maybe we're at war with AI?
>almost 40 years
>people still don't get it
we are supposed to doubt who's the thing, that's the whole point.
It's pretty obvious the black dude was the thing and the white dude was giving him petrol in a bottle to light him up after
i always thought that macready gave childs a bottle of gasoline to see if he could tell the difference right before either frying him with the flamethrower or not
My guess is:
>It's not the black guy, since he didn't kill the other dude. The Thing would not be that nice.
but also
>That wine was spiked with The Thing's cum. So the black guy will eventually turn.
He'll change it so the Black person is the hero if any sequel was made these days.
Trans woman of color so we can see real bravery and the thing is a trans ally who can help trans individuals transition into whatever sex they want by becoming a thing. The first movie is about the cis patriarchy (mostly white) preventing this gift from space from reaching the trans community which desperately needs its transitioning abilities. Surprise the so called hero’s were bigoted transphobes all along. Trans.
>In my point of view the thing is the real protagonist
I can unironically see this happening. A backstory where it rebelled from human supremicists and chose it's own, true form: a blob of mimicking omnisexual horror.
When They finally assume the form of a sassy black Them They finally acheive peace and participate in society. Wacky hijinx ensue, the israeli religion is adopted, it watches alf, then tries a cat, spits out a hairball (laugh track), every now and again it forgets to form into a chimpoid and people scream in terror. Sometimes The Thing regrets having to consume it's witnesses and even more so for having to find another nubian Black to make Them feel complete again.
