I did not go near that blood!
I am the Thing
check this out
We've got them all anons. We can go back to talking about movies now.
Dammit Mac, you know I'm clean!
How will I know if I'm the Thing?
Am I the thing?
Coach GET
I want off this fucking couch.
>>219408092Thankfully I'm here to stop this thing with you guys
What's this thing look like exactly?
And my eyepatch.
*Chugs Molotov cocktail*
We should all separate and look for the last ding
>>219410554Not like me
>>219410675Good idea
could the thing do THIS?
I'm clean, Mac..Sorbet?
I aint taking no blood test
Alright, so we know singles are humans and dubs are things, but what are trips?
You guys are paranoid!
lets just call for extraction
Thankfully we got the last of them
>>219408092Now, here's the thing....
>>219408092I'm not the Thing, but I still think you're getting a bita paranoid, MacReady.
>crashland on planet>wake up fuck knows when and where>understandably freak out, maybe kill some creatures in the process too (they probably attacked first)>just want to build a spaceship so you can GTFO>they keep trying to kill you>tfw everyone things YOU are the bad guy
>>219408711*dunks you*
Do I look like an alien?
>>219408092I'm clean...
>>219408092i know you anons have been through a lot but, when you find the time, i'd rather not spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING THREAD
>>219408256Based Gwyneth paltrow enjoyer.>>219408366I wonder what it was thinking here. It seems like he was worried about his inevitable death, but the film makes it seem like the thing is a hive mind that wouldn't care about sacrificing a few assimilated beings to survive.
Hey guys, I'm here to help :D
>>219412725PUTA Thing used SCOTTISH SEMEN to hide the fact its a Thing
None of this proves anything
I'm human, just like you
>>219412766
I am definitely not the thing.
What are you gonna do, shoot me?
/co/, I don't want to alarm you, but they may be a thing or *things* in the house!
>>219411343I like you. I'll kill you last.>>219411461AILF

Come on OP, you don’t wanna hurt nobody
I'm not some shapeshifting abomination OP
People accused me of being the thing the last time I posted in one of these threads, I'm hoping I can clear my name this time around.
>>219414816Personally, I'm more partial to the Big Mac.
The thing, you say?
>>219408092>mfw that time i acted like the thing
Trust me, I'm me.
>>219408092Haha! not me
>>219408092Henry Swanson is my name and excitement is my game.
>>219408092please get me off this chair
>>219415770I'm not a thing either.
I think you guys are overreacting.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S HERE IT'S HERE
>>219408092This is ridiculous, you can't leap to assumptions like that
>>219416420You mean: overreactHing
boo
meow
>>219417723woo
I blame everyone but me.
>>219420485i accuse everyone
You're gonna have to sleep sometime, anons
I am The Thing
Thing?
>>219408092It ain't me guise, it's me, Anon, I make the macaroni salad you like
I'm so untouched that not even the Thing would want me.
>>219408205this looks like the guy from twin peaks the return
>>219408344>>219408366GET THE FLAMETHROWER!
>>219408344>>219408366
>>219408344>>219408366Die, you Things.
I am not one of them there thingamajigs!
I don't think John Carpenter planned on having MacReady or Childs be the Thing in the last scene. I think he heard about that theory after the fact and liked it for being a better idea than his ending so now he claims it was his idea the entire time.
>>219408344>>219408366Fuckin' things!
I know I'm me, but are you sure you're you?
>>219424005Then you're dumb. Carpenter put lots of direct, on screen evidence of Childs being a thing. There is zero evidence for Mac being a thing, really stupid for him to kill his thing buddies, and only retards like you would randomly pull that out of your ass.
fuckin' THINGERS
>george bush doesnt care about the thing
It’s not me
>>219424005I agree. It's akin to the hack Ridley Scott loving the fans' idea of Deck being a rep and then saying it was always this way. Even Harrison Ford disagrees.
We will solve you're Thing crisis, we are the borg, you can trust us.
The danger has passed. Let us fellow humans shake hands in celebration.
I don't have a Thing.
>be macready>"pretty sure The Thing is the one of the niggers"
How do you do fellow humans?
>>219408092...
>All fucking things must fucking hang
I...am a man.
I'm starting to think this Thing ain't real
THIS IS IT!
>scurries towards you
>>219414350>d=2Retard, d=4
>>219425111No wonder the thing is so good at space travel.
>>219425111BURN THAT NIGGER! THROW IT A BOMB!
>>219425111>>219425344oh FUCK
I'll help!
Yeah but getting dubs is also an accident that happens to normal men>>219408205perfect angle to go blind and survive the bullet
>>219408092KOM DEG VEKK FRA DEN TINGEN! DET ER IKKE EN TRÅD, DET SKAPER EN SLAG TING! DET ER Å IMITERE EN TRÅD, DEN ER IKKE EKTE, KOM DEG VEKK FRA DEN IDIOTEN!!
Here's the thing
Couldn't be me anons.
I won’t shoot.Cause I’d miss you babyand I don’t wanna miss a Thing
>>219426379>Let's just....point here a while...see what happens.
>>219426693Are those doubles i spot in those digits friend?
Why did he draw attention to the thing, when he himself was the thing?
I'm human, see? Can we move on?
>>219408092Chuck's sneed and feed hahaha
>>219427980I've always wondered if separate bodies of the thing even cooperate with each other. They're never seen working together and, as you noticed, seemingly betray other entities.
Sorry guys, I was in the can. What’s this “Thing” y’all talking about?
>>219408092lol no
>>219429292They pretend to be just like us but are only here to kill us. There must be a name for them but we've just been calling them things.
so who did the dog infect at the start of the movie?
>>219429542They need to latch onto us to copy us, let's call em "Graboids"
>>219408092On all levels except physical, I am a man.
>>219425111>I'm starting to think this Thing ain't real
>>219427980Plausible deniability.>no see I pointed out the thing so clearly I'm not the thing, the thing wouldn't do that
Hail Trump
>>219430035He's probably not a thing but I'm blasting him anyway
>How do you do, fellow Thing beings? Great day for a little assimilating, am I right?
Idk maybe the thing isnt so bad guys. Let's try to talk to it.
The Thing is obviously aware that he's the Thing, right? If so the only way he'd participate in this thread if he was suicidal.
>>219431255>OH SHI-
>>219408092NOW GET ME THE FUCK OUTTA THIS CHAIR.
>>219431271what if you don't know you're the thing
.......
>>219431705If you're the Thing without knowing it why would you act like one? Assimilation, ship building and other such things must be organic survival mechanisms for him. A normal human being (who you think you are even as a Thing) doesn't have any urges to do these activities. Moreover, not being aware that you're the Thing would go against your best interest in terms of survival.
>>219431255Speak
>>219431255
>>219432040You could just black out and diseases/parasites do weird shit to people sometimes. Like how people with Rabies become deathly terrified of drinking water or how tick borne diseases can cause a severe aversion to redmeat. I imagine once the Thing has its cells in your brain it'll make weird shit seem impulsive and logical.
You got proof that this thing is even hostile?
>>219408092Did we ever find out which anon was the thing?
>>219432257Good point. Speaking of which how do you know so much about the subject? You're not one of them, are you?
>>219436126I don't know
I've been hanging out with Palmer and we have been discussing how, like, everything is a thing but some things are like everything, man.
Hey boys! Seen any Things lately?
>>219438912It's hilarious that Clark smoked weed with the Thing and watched kinos with it
>>219408565I'm not seeing enough aggressiveness in this thread.
If they hadn't killed Clark, the Thing would have been peaceful. Clark was its dearest friend
>>219413608/co/ is tranny infested now, so this is pretty darn accurate
I’M THE THING
>>219443933>Let's burn!
>>219444458that sounds like something only a THING would say!
I'd like to come back inside now...
I thought dubs threads weren't allowed
>>219445132that was a Thing that told you that
I'm the thing, but I'm good at hiding it with these singles
Did someone say THONG?
>>219445488GET HIS ASS
>>219445488If you eat The Thing's ass, do you become a Thing? Asking for a friend...
>>219445627um,...what do you mean by "get"?
>>219445787The Thing's ass EATS YOUUUUUU
There's a cool scene in the short story where one of the crew members goes stir crazy and murders another guy. There's a little bit of tension because they don't know if the Thing is going around knifing people and trying to turn them against each other. Then it turns out the dead guy is a Thing just playing dead when they jab the corpse with a shock prod and it transforms. The murderer just happened to shank one by pure dumb luck.
>>219445814Nothing sexual I assure you.
>>219445888the thing is becoming more powerful than we could ever have imagined
>>219445888GET IT! GET IT! GET IT!
Not me but the anon below is the ThingWatch out
>>219445875I urrrm. Okay. I'll take my chances.
>>219445888You seem very well informed ... THING
I promise I'm safe!
>>219408724fuckin kek
>>219446000
>>219408724
>>219445980>>219446000Psychic
>>219445980>>219446000
I am glad the danger has passed and the Thing has been defeated. Let us hug in celebration as humans do. Come over here alone, anon.
>>219446093
>>219445980Thanks for the heads up, we'll light his ass on fire
>>219446000the ass got 'em
>>219446000He ate the ass.
Alright now everybody just calm down!
woof woof
My patented Batman Thing DetectorTM will help us find Things before they even appear!
*Takes a walk alone like a retard*
>>219446564Use Bat-Thing Repellant, quickly!
>>219446788
>>219408092Thing? More like POOP
>>219408256I like girl feet but I'm not the Thing
>>219421051Matthew Lillard?
>>219446564Gee Batman, I hope we can do someTHING about these THINGS before anyTHING happens.
>>219446564>>219447982What a thing to happen to Gotham.
>>219408400>>219408499>>219408711>>219412766>>219445488>>219445888>>219446000>>219446200Holy SHIT, you guys missed a lot. Don't worry, the cavalry's here now.
I am certainly no Thing.
>>219408092You can trust me bros
>>219448386You got them anon. That's truly the last of them for us.
>>219424005There are so many clues that Childs is the Thing. Guy drank a bottle of pure gasoline handed by MacReady without noticing anything. Childs aint a ghetto nigger so drinking gasoline is not normal for him.
DAS DING
The Thing? More like the Fool!!
>>219452308There is only one Lord of the Thing, and it does not share power.
One of them's the Thing...
>>219452543>Burn the left one>You've already done the test?>Test?
Good morning sirs, it is very much good to not be of thing
I AM THE THINGKILL MENOW
Good sunrise to all fellow human men. This is a safe and secure place, now we can all let our guard down and relax. Perhaps we should retire to our individual sleep rooms.
>>219411461We'll do you last.
>>219408092Hello my name is Mr...Gniht, and I come from, uh, some place far away! Yes, that will do. Anyway, I say we end these tests and dispose of any flammable fuel sources!
>>219408092THEY LIVE.
>>219453081I like the way Gniht thinks!
Legendary thing hunt. We men should be proud!
>>219408092Im not a thing....
>>219446788WINDOWS BLAST HIM
>>219408092IT AIN'T ME MAN CUT THIS SHIT OUT AND UNTIE ME
>>219424142>really stupid for him to kill his thing buddiesFor it to be stupid requires making several assumptions about assimilation that are unsupported. He almost certainly isn't but if Things even replicate heart conditions by mistake and expressly don't have a hive mind you can't even assume they even know each other if they weren't directly the one who infected them
Honestly feel like the movie would have been better if the norwegian guy at the start wasn't there. Since it didn't make sense at all that he couldn't speak english or wouldn't reason with the guy.
>>219454553
>>219454618he just watched all his friends get murdered by the thing over 24 hours or whateverhe's screaming at them in panic but can't explain it in english, trying to warn them while also trying to stop the thing from going in there and hiding and starting the bloodbath overhonestly a completely understandable interaction, you try shooting at a moving tiny moving target out of a helicopter that you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HIT while explaining to people in words you barely know how the world is at stakegive me a fuckin' break he had to pick one and he picked trying to shoot
>>219408092That sounds like the type of shit one of those things would say. To get us to turn on each other...
>>219454729I would never turn on any of you guys
>>219408632Not even close
>>219454691The Daniel Day Lewis of dog actors
>>219454695>while explaining to people in words you barely know howThats the issue, high educated europeans of any country speak fluent english. If it were soviet researchers it would make sense, but for a norwegian it wouldn't, they speak english everyday, now and back then.
>>219424142>Carpenter put lots of direct, on screen evidence of Childs being a thing.If you think eye colour or breath moisture are clues, you're a retard, those are film errors. Other Things have those. It's a perfect imitation. The better evidence is circumstantial and his new jacket.>>219452185Bitch, prove it was gasoline. And Things are perfect recreations of people, a Thing Childs would SPIT OUT THE GASOLINE JUST LIKE A HUMAN WOULD! Because as they say over and over again THEY'RE PERFECT IMITATIONS!
I say get The Thing liquored up and take it to the Peachtree dance
>>219455086>Where did he get a boozel all the sudden? Don't remember what it was, I think he said whiskey?>Bottles are the same as the molotov cocktails they preparedFor me this was the last test from MacReady, the thing does not know how real booze tastes, so it just drank the gasoline, that's why MacReady offered a defeated chuckle or smile, because he knew that he lost.
I ain't no dang Thang, nuh-uh honey!
>>219455292*Where did he get the booze
IT AINT ME
>>219455299
>>219455333
>>219412766Sounds like something a thing would say
>>219455299OH LAWDY DEM THANGS ARE HERE
>>219455018nah fuck that you're the thing
>>219455299SOMEONE STRAP DYNAMITE TO SOME KFC QUICK
When is extraction?
but the digits are random
now I'm gonna show you what I already know...
We're being overran..by things.
What other tests could there be for the thing?
>>219455299>>219455644>>219446788Isn't going to be an extraction. We can't let these things survive till we fall off the board, else this'll just start all over again.
I couldn't possibly be one of those Things
