Good thing theyre batshit cuckoo and got it coming

@@finnishlaplandlife8274 Nope, they were actually trying to kill the dog (that was btw where the Thing came from in the first place), and that's why you see them shooting it and trying to kill it, infact in Norwegian he even warns them to not let that dog there cuz he is just an immitation, but they got killed by the people they were tryna save. Ironic

Yeah they were right to attempt to kill that ailen dog thing

SiKo I mean that’s usually how it works. In real life the people who are trying to help get the most hate.

Irony is a cruel bitch

Macready actually survives we see him at the end of the thing video game

I'm more of the preference that Child's is a Thing, but since it wanted to be re-frozen in order to wait for the rescue team, it is choosing to spend its final moments of consciousness with Macready, who will soon be dead.

@@theonsight7 would it not be doubly advantageous to turn macready and then freeze them both?

I don't think childs is a thing because, as a "thing" they don't carry fire packs like childs was wearing or actually drink, which i think shows that neither one really cares to get infected as they are both going to die.

@@hmm8445not sure if that’s canon though

I agree

Probably saving it for bday or anniversary

Agreed

It would make for a perfect wintery recount

YES

@Justin Yeh first horror movie. cabin in the woods was released in 2012. the thing in 1982.

RU-vidTM algorithm Think you need to see Psycho, my friend.

So true

Clearly you haven't seen scary movie

RU-vid Algorithm also why tf do they have flamethrowers????

I think that that's one of the best details!

Oh that's pretty cool. It isn't totally given away, you might just assume they're crazy

@@laurene988 Kinda, but at the time of the film's original theater run, and if you saw any trailers, and knowing it's a body snatching horror film, it could potentially ruin the ending prematurely. The Norwegian dialogue was not dubbed for Norwegian audiences, and many original viewers complained that the twist was kinda given away. Newer movies do this a bunch, by changing the foreign dialogue to preserve plot twists. This happens a lot in videogames in current times.

@@MrFreddieComedy that's a weird oversight, you'd swear they'd throw in some other language or even just gibberish to hide it

There's a word for this: foreshadow. If you understood the Norwegian dialect, you just got told that something bad is going to happen. Even if you don't understand what they're saying, it still sounds like a warning. The story was not necessarily given away; you still don't know what is going to happen because you don't know what exactly the "thing" is.

childs isnt a thing as explained by another comment

@@TaskinrulesChilds is a Thing. It made the mistake of taking a drink when MacCready offered. That's the tell. If Childs wasn't he wouldn't have taken a drink due to potential Thing infection. Were he human he'd have been wary of that and declined in case MacCready was a Thing which he isn't.

​@@ZombifiedBuizelthe alcohol could kill off any thing cells lying around

@@juliandacosta6841 I'm not talking about the inside of the bottle. There's no alcohol on the outside. Simply touching the bottle is enough

@@ZombifiedBuizel at that point, i think theyve both been resigned to their fate, knowing that they are going to die, and they dont care anymore about the contamination, which is why mac chuckles to himself.

Among US was actually based on this movie

It's A.M.O.N.G U.S

For 15 years, I always wondered how Blair got infected and when. Then I realized that part of the Kennel-Thing escaped through the roof. This is further backed up by how we see that little bastard pop out of Blair-Thing’s stomach.

@@jameswazowski5362 Maybe - you have a decent point but we still can’t say for sure on a lot of it

Holy shit, as weed is an organic flowering bud Things could theoretically copy it too? How'd you figure this if you remember? That's pretty damn detailed if that's truly the case. The Thing, making potheads even more paranoid for nearly half a century going. Fuck. Genuinely terrifying, ain't ever smoking that Thing pack.

I think the director of the 2011 movie and the art department and all the people working on it were full of passion for the original, but got completely curb stomped by studio suits. They actually removed practical effects from the movie to overlay it with CGI, and I am pretty sure nobody working on that movie wanted that

wait, someone got infected from the goddamn weed. How the fuck 😭

*Shoots him*

Patrick Star wait,that’s illegal

He might be evil *but he's still best boy in our hearts 😔*

Fun fact. In modern movies they use a lot of CGI to remove dogs wagging tails in scenes. They are just so happy to be on set and doing a good job that they can't stop wagging their tail. It's really important to stop the wagging especially during a scene where the dog is suppose to be angry.

@@razzyrazberries I LOVE YOU, YOU JUST MADE MY DAY.

Yes I needed this

True

*sighs in relief*

Good

And the alien dig did such a good job too. I remember watching this many a year ago and being amazed at how well the dog acted. To me you could almost tell something was wrong with said dog long before it was revealed as a thing.

There's a game?

​@@Mandi_Paranormal There's a game, and a couple comics

Too bad he resembles A LOT like Norris, and the collar was quite similar.

Konrad Foyle but you don’t know for sure. The movie purposely didn’t show the when or who was assimilated

@@eriksanchez1721 maybe, but even though it wasn't the same actor, the shadow, the collar, and the hair are super similar to Norries. It couldn't be Palmer since his collar doesn't match, nor the size of the shadow.

Konrad Foyle again, the movie purposely didn’t show the face, Only the shadow. Just because something resembles something else, doesn’t necessarily make it the same thing, especially if just a shadow because shadows themselves can also be somewhat deceiving.

@@eriksanchez1721 still. There's a point that Norris and Palmer are both assimilated. Both of them are the "suspects" on the shadow. Compare them, and you will see that Norris is the first one to be assimilated and also the one of the shadow. I know it's intentional, but he's the one that matches.

I heard that when this movie came out in norway they didnt edit that scene and it spoiled the movie for many people as they got told too early in their native language that the dog was an alien

Didn’t he also say “GODDAMNIT YOU IDIOTS!”

@@sol2544 What a F-ing BRUH moment

Wow that's cool to learn, and very cool it wasn't translated. Bummer for @day r fact about those watching it in Norway!

Man thank you for translating that to us

They Played Among us before it was made 🤣🤣

Well, Mac is a certified badass.

Quinn McG Mac is cool but Jack Burton is a god among men or maybe Snake Plisken. Lol. Kurt Russell is my favorite actor he kills it no matter the role. Hell I even watched that Christmas movie when he was Santa Claus a few years back

*how cool Mac is.* James doesn't think it bro, it's just reality

I loved him as Captain Ron too!

Jack Washington because Mac is actually that cool

In your opinion

Def not underrated everyone has heard of it

Personally I prefer Cabin in the Woods

it’s definitely one of the best. everything about it, the score, the effects, the story, the character, the tone absolutely MAKES this film

WRONG that would be nosferatu buddy, horrible effort.

at least the doggo lived a long life :(

That also might be because it'd be a lot easier to hide the fact that he's a Thing. If Childs was completely fine while Mack was a mangled, unrecognizable corpse, that would absolutely draw attention. Even moreso if Mack and Childs show no signs of Hypothermia after being stuck in the Arctic outside for God knows how long without proper protection.

SuperTomServo true

SuperTomServo dont fucking say that

You can just cover your house inside and out with fly tape :p

SuperTomServo that already happened. #plaugelife

What about . . . *flex tape* ?

He did kill someone. It was just justified. The way the law works is that you are actually technically guilty of the crime. It’s just you aren’t being punished for it.

He was holding them hostage. Legally speaking Windows was in the right and Mac murdered his captive. Mac could argue that he was acting in self defense since one of the others could be a shape shifting hostile alien. Idk if since one of his hostages turned out to be a thing if Mac would be able to get away with killing Windows.

d tczyk small correction, technically murder isn’t just killing someone, it is unlawfully killing someone with intention. At most, Mac would of been charged with manslaughter and would of been given a very light sentence at most because he was attacked with a scalpel, which might be a bit unique because even though is a blade, it is unlikely to be deadly and one might be able to argue that Clark is not posing a danger to Mac’s life (one could also argue that Clark was going for the neck and if he hit the jugular vein Mac might of died). Most courts would probably find him innocent because self defense, keep in mind even places that require someone to flee before defending themselves would probably find him innocent, he is in the Arctic, where is he supposed to flee to?

@@jaketheberge1970 he killed Clark, not Windows

Redbird7311 Just because it’s a small blade doesn’t mean it’s any less deadly. Just a little knick to the right, or I guess wrong, artery (carotid, vertebral, femoral, etc.) and you’re pretty much done for. Unless it happens like right outside a hospital or something.

I kinda feel - and maybe I am wrong - that this movie was the inspiration of the game series resident evil

but the Thing game says that Mac was the thing, so Mac is the thing.

GingerBreadMan1178 is that game cannon tho?

Mac was also staring at Charles, waiting for him to drink it. Seeing as he drunk it, your idea basically confirms Charles as a Thing

No! The Thing makes a PERFECT copy. (keyword: PERFECT). You would cough after drinking gasoline.

I'm gonna be honest, on the same day that he died, a couple of hours earlier, we inquiried about if he was still alive. Next day he was dead. Me and my family killed Wilford Brimley.

Fun fact: He was the internet's lovable diabetes guy.

I remember him most from diabeetus and diabeetus testing supplies and his cameo on family guy “Sometimes I get cross and beat my wife. And then I remember my wife’s been dead for years. WHO WAS I BEATING?!”

Except for Clark he was brain dead hot himself killed and he want even assimilated

Yes those dirty longjohn's are Palmers because of proof from a deleted scene of the crew finding more longjohns that is Norris's size. That is the right time Norris is assimilated

Oh yeah I've watched that video for Watch Culture, but the stuff about Blair in it is false. Blair was still human when he was put into lockdown in the tool shed. How do we know this? When we watch the movie, Mac takes a drink out of a bottle of Vodka that belongs to Blair. Later on though, in the famous blood test scene, Mac is human. Blair was human on lockdown is what this means.

Same also I don't think he was getting heart issues during that scene. I think it was the thing forming the chest jaw while he is still alive.

@BULL But the Dog thing was torched, so it can’t infect someone as it’s dead tissue. Even then, Blair was throughout the entire scene touching the thing with reckless abandon, so I doubt just the pencil would be the only problem.

How about this? The company Mira discovered the planet "Polus". Polus had all the things for life. Water, warmth, and sufficient gravity. They started to launch missions to Polus for colonization. However, they didn't consider that something was already living there... Mira's Polus outpost discovered an alien bacteria on Polus, and they left it in the specimen room. Unbeknownst to any of them, this alien sample was actually a parasitic shape-shifting organism that could infect a crewmate. When the parasite infects a Crewmate, they kill the crewmate and take control over their body. These infected crewmates are now known as "Imposters". A few crewmates were infected, and turned into imposters. They started to attack the crew in Polus, spreading fear and panic. The crewmates manage to overcome this and kill the imposter, and they abandon Polus and their outpost. They board the spaceship "Skeld", in hopes of returning to their home planet. However, a few of the parasitic aliens managed to sneak on the Skeld, turning more Crewmates into imposters. Fortunately, they manage to kill those imposters as well, and they land on Mira's Headquaters. The same thing that happened on Skeld happens on Mira HQ, however, unlike on Skeld, all the imposters and Parasitic aliens are eliminated, and all samples were incinerated. Except one... When the crewmates returned to Mira HQ, they took the dropship home and they abandoned the Skeld. Unbeknownst to any of them, a few Crewmates were left behind on the Skeld. The remaining alien samples on the Skeld attacked the abandoned Crewmates. In a last ditch effort, the abandoned Crewmates flies the Skeld into a solar system with 8 planets and a G-type main-sequence star. They then crash land on a snowy continent on a strange planet, however, all the crewmates died in the crash, and the remaining imposter freezes into a block of ice. 100,000 years later, a Norwegian research team finds the ruined Skeld and a frozen impostor. It's time for the Things to shine again. Edit: TL;DR The Skeld is the UFO in the thing. The Thing in the ice block was a mutilated impostor.

Regan Jones it happened as I read it

Lol

Good point!

agree, the way he emphasised the fact that he’s “okay now” too

abby And the noose in the background.

Actually, while that does make sense on some level, there’s also the chance that he was a Thing ever since he smashed up the radios. If you notice he’s always seen as wearing a yellow shirt before that scene, but during it he wears a grey one, while clothing continuity is an important factor of the movie. Think about how one of the signs someone has transformed is torn clothes. It might seem counterproductive to smash the radios and helicopters, but actually it makes a lot of sense. The thing doesn’t need to contact anyone to bring it to the base, supply and rescue teams will come no matter what and it knows it, and the radios could be used to warn the others and stop them from ever coming. They provide no real benefit to it, and a lot of risk, it makes sense to destroy them. As for the helicopters wrecking it provided the Thing with the parts it needed to try and make its own ship. Just an interesting idea, and could show exactly how insidious the Thing could be. Also notice how when placed in the shack, one of the last things Blair does after being left in the shack is building paranoia. And for when he was infected? It could have been any moment when he was sleeping, or perhaps he got a few live Thing cells on him while dissecting one of them, and was slowly from the inside. He could’ve been a dead man walking from the second he first put that scalpel into the burned thing from the Norwegian camp. Just some interesting thoughts to stew over.

@@lingon18 damn i never thought about that. good point.

I first seen this movie when I was 8 That scene still scares the shit out of me ;-;

That scene scared the shit out of me now. At least the dogs got treats after.

First time I saw that movie i was 12 and i couldnt sleep after that scene

me too, Palmer's transformation into the Thing didn't help either

Same

Shade the Wolf yep

300th like

Actually the Thing doesn't need oxidized blood to survive, so a heart beat is not mandatory, it most likely acted a heart attack not only to distract and convince the others, but take them out when their guard was down.

My theory i dont think people know they are the thing and it completely blocks the memories of the person and lets them stay in control until it wants to attack someone else in which case it fully takes over

Liberty Prime I personally think that it works like Get Out. The original person is aware of what’s happening, and The Thing is in the driver seat.

Sean Callaghan It's not easy to shoot while in high speed

We literally watch him poke an eraser all over the charred dog thing carcass, then touch his lips with it... And lo and behold; when the Blair thing suddenly emerges from the floorboards, a deformed dog pops out of... Somewhere, on his body. Coincidence?

i think he saw the thing trying to get him and tried to kill himself before it could

Noah Law “shitty cgi” hating on cgi is getting so cliche, i bet when you/you’ve watched Mad Max, you didn’t even think/thought the background was cgi.

CGI is one of the best things ever to happen to movies, the problem is that a lot of the time it's used as a replacement of practical effects. instead of enhancing them. When you use practical effects and enhance them with CGI you get some of the best fictional realism out there.

Kamikazee yo calm down, you don’t need to write a whole paragraph about how people hating cgi is stereotypical lmao. It’s an opinion dude, a lot of people hate CGI. It’s not a cool trend.

*cough* leprechaun *cough* *cough*

trcsonic u

Bit late but Carpenter has confirmed that one of them is a thing. Personally i think its childs because of the comment in the directors commentary about the white circle in the eyes of the none infected. Holds up for the rest of the film

Chiles can't be a thing, he has an earing in. The thing can't simulate metals

Look real close at that last scene, it's almost like they tell you indirectly through the prequal

@@AlexDeems22 There is a counter to that arguement. The Thing can adapt very rapidly to become a better infiltrator. Its entirely possible (and quite likely) that the events of the prequel have allowed The Thing to overcome this test as it has survived it once before

@@DanthebobGaming Except there has been no notice of the thing being able to adapt. All it can do is assimilate and imitate which it does through a lengthy digestion process before it gets to imitation where any and all inorganic material *will* be taken out and it has been confirmed in the prequel that the thing cannot use/stand inorganic material. Either way, if the game is anything to follow chronologically Chiles was the thing because Mac was alive and human at the end of the game.
