Daily reminder. Childs was not infected at the ending. Why? Because if he was, he would have attacked MacReady because he was the only surviving human left.Thus proving he was never infected. Also it was also supposedly been the sequel bait which never happened because the movie made poor sales. >but but muhhh molotov cocktail!!!
call me stupid but i never even picked up on the subtext that childs might be “changed” until i read about it online its just an ending imo
>>218186924Don’t they share a drink at the end?
>>218186924This why would 'The Thing' even need to hide at this point?
>>218186924Would it even matter? Mac is fucked either way. The radio got smashed up, so it’s not like any help was coming, and they were absolutely freezing to death as soon as the fires die down.
>>218187029reddit said Childs drinks the molotov cocktail which humans cant do.
>>218187088>digitsget the flamethrower
>>218187029Mac hands him a bottle, the same of which they made molotovs in. Mac doesn't drink from it himself, but Childs does. It's purposefully set up to be ambiguous though, and there's a video game that gives you the "canon" answer
>people keep forgetting the game that was considered canon by the fucking john carpenter
>>218187133Oh, it’s been a minute since I’ve seen it, and I misremembered them passing the bottle as a show of trust.
I just wanna say that I went to see The Thing in a theater a year or two ago and it was CHOICE. The audience was perfection. No one blabbed. No one quoted. We all just shutted up and watched it.It was the second try because the first was beamed via satellite and it looked like total dogshit, so I got a free ticket to a do-over and that time they had some sort of disc or something and it was just sublime.
>>218187182Must been cool then.
>>218187088Yes, it matters, retard. Mac knows he dying and wants his sacrifice to mean the rest of humanity is safe. The thing doesn't give a shit about freezing, it will survive and thaw out to take over everyone who comes to the camp. You're really dumb since they said that in the damn movie.
>>218186924McReady was infected. Says in the movie directly that the alien just wants to pose as a frozen humancl corpse to be rescued. Shares liquor with Chides which McReady already knew not to do. If he was still the real McReady he would have known was a vector for spreading. McReady confirmed infected.
They were both infected, retards
childs has an earing in the end. not a thing confirmed you goofies
>>218186924It was not sequel bait. It was just meant to leave it ambiguous.
>>218187089Humans can drink that though.
>>218187118Sorry, can't help you with that
there's little pieces of the thing spread all over the camp, it doesn't matter if they're infected.
>>218187182Good for you.Also condolences about having loud theatherfolk there.Even in Hungaristan, people shut the fuck up at the cinema. Even gypsies.
>>218190262Yeah. The apocalypse is inevitable in this scenario.
