>hy did they not assimilate MacReady when they were alone with him exploring the UFO? Can the Thing not pilot a helicopter?

It did. MacThing was playing the long game. He was a Thing at the end which is why he laughed. He had a flamethrower for self defense in case Childs got wise to him.

It could evolve and change shape at will, this isn't regular earth evolution.

>>78905897
What about the ship it built?

>Smart enough for interstellar travel

What makes you think that? Is Ebola smart enough to fly an airplane? Was the bubonic plague smart enough to manage nautical navigation?

It's pretty fucking obvious that that life form doesn't behave like a sentient, constructive life form. Why would something build a space ship only to live out it's life cycle the way it did?

>Any biological matter
Again, why do you think that? All we know is that it can assimilate 3, two of which are warm blooded, carbon based mammalian creatures. Why didn't it absorb the wooden cabins? Wood is a biological substance.

>Vulnerable to fire.
Show me one organism of any considerable size which can survive being sprayed with ignited fossil fuels. Any. I think it's a pretty safe bet that any life form which survives in temperatures comparable to our environment would have trouble getting set on fire and blown up and surviving the process.

>>78905915
>Who had the only key? Garry. So who could have gotten the key?

Yeah but that's been debunked years ago already. Garry normally had the keys, yes, but then the radio guy (Windows?) had them before Bennings got infected, and after Windows found him being assimilated, he dropped them. You can actually hear the sound of them falling on the floor in that scene.

So anyone could have gotten to the keys while the station was distracted by Bennings thing.

It literally fooled people into thinking it was human, how is it not sentient? Also, it built a fucking space ship out of spare parts.

>>78906003
Norris

>>78906003

It was Palmer. This is basically a fact. Originally he was the actor in this scene, but they realized that his shadow was too easy to tell so they had another guy (not one of the actors, someone from the technician crew) redo the scene.

But Palmer got infected first and he was playing the long game until Blair got infected.

>>78906055
The dog

>>78905664

It didn't fly the ship, genius, it was just some monster the aliums discovered, who broke free on board their ship and caused it to crash.

>>78906049

>when the helicopter flew really low and made him jump
Poor doggo was probably scared to death.

>>78906045

Nope, Clarke was uninfected the entire time. MacReady shot him in the head and killed him and then they checked his blood and found out he was human all along.

>>78906025

Nope, the key from that was on the entire keychain, Windows had it for some other reason (can't remember, something to do with the cleaning up of the Norwegian bodies, he was doing it with Bennings, then Bennings got infected by the remnants of the bodies).

http://www.outpost31.com/movie/faq.html
>Who got to the blood and how?
The keys, which play a crucial role to the sabotaged blood scene, disappear from the action when Windows discovers the Bennings-Thing in mid-assimilation. He had gone to get the keys from Garry, came back, dropped them and ran out of the room. We don't see the keys show up again until right before the scene with the sabotaged blood. Someone obviously found them, used them, and somehow got them inconspicuously back into the action. (A good guess would be by placing them in or near Garry's quarters.) Watch Windows' face as they argue about who had access to the blood. His guilt from dropping the keys and not speaking up about it is a nice touch.

We all agree MacReady was a Thing by the end, right?

>>78906022

>it fooled people into thinking it was human.

Uhm. When? For all you know it floods the brain with self-preservation tenancies. That fungus which makes insects climb up plants to spread ts spores doesn't have a control room insides the bugs brain, it just introduces chemicals which forces decision making before it's time to react. Do inane people have a alien virus? Do murders?

Molecular combustion happens to everything, if it's biological or even whatever the fuck the Thing actually is (a literal alien virus monster). It's vulnerable no matter what.

Even the Xenomorph is vulnerable to fire with every other natural aspect they enjoyed with they are designed as movie monsters.

I think maybe Split Face just wasn't burnt enough? As a living being it was killed by the fire but since it's cells are individually able to operate towards assimilation and the body wasn't completely destroyed, some cells remained active.

Why are humans such shit?

How does The Thing work? (For nu-males too scared to watch horror movies without their mommies):

1.) Find organic material.
2.) Eat organic material. The more of you there are, the faster you eat it.
3.) You can clone yourself for every tiny bit of organic material you consume.
4.) Whatever you eat, make your clone assume its form.
5.) Repeat over and over again.

In example: "Find bear. Eat bear. Make offspring look like bear so it can eat bear more easily." It has nothing to do with rape. The hosts DNA is completely irrelevant. All organic matter is just food to The Thing.

Meanwhile, Xenomorph's reproduction is actually a "rape analogy" because it involves the victim in the reproduction process directly. A facehugged dog produces a different Xenomorph than a facehugged human, a predator, or an Engineer.

>>78906965
You can draw parallels between any two things in the fucking universe. Symbolism and allegory invented by the audience is pure pseudo-intellectual garbage. The fact is that assimilation =/= sexual reproduction. If anything, assimilation would be far closer to consumption than rape. If you eat an animal you are making it part of yourself, you are making new cells with it, and with your very loose definition of procreation you are raping it.

It's a thriller, not social commentary. Leave it at that.

If just licking someone/shaking hands was enough to eventually make someone a thing then why risk hostile messy take overs? Just spit in everyones diner and wait a few days.

>>78907398

>all of this samefagging to get on r/4chan

>>78907571

>>78907578
The only reason it doesn't assimilate plants is because there are no plants on the arctic. Not counting Childs' and Palmer's weed garden since that's a waste of effort.

>>78907561
They SUSPECT a weak contact is enough, but judging from how the Thing operates, I think you are right.
Also, the movie is more interesting because not even the Things have it so easy.

>>78907561
I'd assume that the process would take too long if it only started from a few cells, to the point where they might be able to feel the process happening and still be able to react (like cut an arm off or kill themselves by throwing themselves in a fire). By doing the messy takeovers it can be sure that it will be successful and quickly.

I don't know how much of the movie actually supports my explanation but that's the best I can think of.

>>78907561

Because if you just spit into someone's soup it takes a lot longer to eat.

>>78906061

It couldn't have been Palmer because later on we see him and Childs sharing a blunt and watching a TV show together in their room.

If Palmer was the first to be assimilated, he'd have taken over Childs that very night.

>>78906060

is correct.

The shadow looks like Windows, though.

>>78909233
>Stuart Cohen, co-producer of John Carpenter's The Thing, seems, at the time of writing, to have settled this matter conclusively on his blog: it was supposed to be Palmer. The reason why David Clennon was substituted by Dick Warlock in this shot is that Clennon's silhouette was too recognizable for there to be any ambiguity.

>>78906374

It's impossible for Mac to be the Thing, given he torches one when they're the only ones left (and Childs is walking somewhere in the snow outside).

>>78909289

That's even fucking worse, because now we have a plot hole due to reasons I provided in my previous post. The shadow being Norris' makes much more sense, people's reports on the matter be damned.

>>78909239
That's the alien that crashed their ship into Earth. That ship was carrying The Thing like a zoo animal. The studio execs didn't like that so they changed it to a tetris hologram instead.

>>78909371

It's not worse.

Palmer was the backup plan, since he was the first fully infected one completely in stealth. No one in the movie ever suspected him. His strategy was clearly to play it 100% safe. He wanted to be completely alone with Childs when he did it, that's why he said he didn't want to go with Windows but with Childs. He also may have prepped him with the joint sharing first, just like the dog did to Bennings under the table, so he would become the Thing anyway a few days later.

>>78909573
>Palmer was the backup plan

It's a stupid plan. The Thing's chances of winning increase as the number of people against it decrease. Having turned Childs early on while people still had no idea what was really going on would've been a great asset that would probably make it "win", given how close it came to doing that in the end.

If it wanted to play it safe, it would've pretended to be the dog until the very end and not absorbed anyone else.

Easy for you to say that. It just arrived on Earth, it had no meta information. Absorbing the dogs was a great move, far better than absorbing a Negro, because a lot more people would have heard a Negro shout than the dogs bark. Everyone was asleep except MacReady who was fucking his inflatable doll in the pussy, so if it wasn't for that it might have had infected all the dogs + the autistic Clarke.

The dog knew it could have been in danger because MacReady visited the Norwegian camp. Hence this shot of him watching the helicopter land.

It clearly infected a group of (smart) aliens and crashed onto earth accidentally.

You mean half the replies which are clearly samefagged by the poster who's just unplugging and plugging in and replying to himself?

I hope you are right, is like poetry

>>78906047
Walking into the cage with the other dogs is honestly the scariest part of the movie. It's just so wrong.

I feel like people haven't watched the movie. The Thing is obviously sentient not acting like an animal in a survivalist situation. The only time it acts dumb is when its separated from its larger bodies indicating it gets more intelligent with higher cells.

because all of its individual cells had their own survival instinct. Fire would make them all monster out, while the cold would just slow them down until they froze.
It can evolve plates as thick as it wants, but they're still made of thing-cells that go apeshit when injured.

>smart enough for interstellar travel
I always assumed that it had infected some other alien species that already mastered space travel

>>78913296
Same here. Seems like the reasonable assumption that the Thing crashed the spacespshib because it wanted the alien to die and land on Earth

>>78913296
It was being hauled by other aliens. It was essentially a Zoo-Animal/Pet

>>78913369
Pretty sure if you've mastered interstellar travel, most lifeforms including Humans would be so beneath you, you would regard them as animals.

Makes sense that it's vulnerable to fire. Even if it had a thicker skin The Thing is made up of millions of other things that are all sentient individual creatures. Fire burns deep and the things that made up the skin/carapace wouldn't last long as they tried to evade the fire or got cooked.

there are 94 IPs in this thread and maybe 10 of them are talking about The Thing, 4 of them are people who replied to that genuinely, and the other 80 IPs are the poster of >>78905703

Go visit /pol/ some time, posts like these are made constantly. /pol/ is immunized to all trolling because they do it to themselves constantly.

It is the same guy, he does it from time to time, just changes IP and replies to himself for hours

>>78916578
>Are you implying jannies and mods actually do their job?

yes they do
if enough posters reported the bait post, it would have been deleted before it got to even 6 replies
the fact that replies to that post are so many, and in fact off topic related to that post is almost half this thread shows that it's the same guy who posted the bait responsible for 90% of it

if it actually did offend people, they would have had reported it, since it's off topic and ruining the topic

basic logic

>>78916578
>Are you implying jannies and mods actually do their job?
T-they actually do, on occasion: be cautious! There are high-grade trolls on this board who, when btfo'd, run crying to the mods begging for the mean anon to get banned. Happens a lot: some troll picks a fight, loses, then bans the anon who beat him. At least one of them is in this thread right now. Come get me!

>>78916743
it's been on the front page for hours retard, the mods would have seen it either way

>>78916743
Off topic political threads stay on the front page and reach bump limit all the time, and shitloads of people report those. They even have twitter screencaps or pictures of Trump right in the OP and mods do nothing.

>>78916783
the thread has been on the front page
the OP is fine and on topic
it's just the first reply to the topic that's the problem

that's also why the replies are clearly samefagged so hard
why would anyone come to this thread just to reply to something they wouldn't even know / expect is there

This

This was probably the most intelligent horror movie ever. It leaves you asking questions for years to come with so many different theories.

The best movies do not present you with every answer on a plate and now we have Ridley shitting up Alien and Blade Runner lore.
