didn't even know there was a thing comic, one of the best films ever always wondered why there wasn't a 2nd film, thinkthis would have been a good story to tell on screen with a few changes !! as always keep up the amazing work
The reason why a sequel was never made is very simple actually. It all comes down to MONEY. When Carpenter's The Thing was released in 1982, it like the first Blade Runner (which also came out that same weekend in June 1982 as The Thing) flopped at the box office. ET was still huge at the box office at the time and it overshadowed EVERYTHING. Both Blade Runner and The Thing didn't get popular until home video and then people started to notice them as amazing films (I haven't seen Blade Runner yet.. yeah I know I am behind the times,lol). Most critics at the time also panned both films, including Ebert, they changed their reviews since then but when they were first released they both got panned by critics and science fiction fans alike.
If I remember correctly multiple members of MacReadys team touched contaminated body’s and did not get infected so how did the soldiers get infected especially since we clearly see them on panel the entire time
I guess the only way to maintain continuity is to say that touching the Thing either can or doesn't have to infect you. Maybe the chances are generally in your favor, but it's not guaranteed you're clean. It depends on many factors including on if your immune system can suppress it.
I didn't even know this existed. Thanks a lot! I am a huge fan of both movies (yes, I think the prequel did some justice to the story and had some fanservice I loved)
Haha this is so awesome, i just watched the first video of this comic series and at the end commented on where's part 2! Fortunately these were posted a year ago and I believe they are all here now, yayyy
Kronos0316 he's confirmed the thing and if you do proper research you would see breath doesn't matter. Read John carpenters tweet. It's best to not spread false info it's a shame more people don't know the truth and the true answers. Both John and the actor for maccready have said pretty much child's is the thing. The breath theory was disproven so easily long ago I don't know how people still go on about it.
Kronos0316 It's the eyes! Look at Childs eyes at the end! Same with everyone infected they have "dead eyes" aka no shine to them. Confirmed by cinematographer Dean Cundey.
@@jhevgainz2307 Brazilians speak Portuguese. Argentina Speaks Spanish with a Castilian dialect, never the less still very much spanish. As all Spanish speakers understand them except regional sayings/slang that is only in Argentina.
Wait if they knew about the alien, and knew about the test, and had preparations to test the foreigners coming into their camp, why would they not have a failsafe in place in case one of them were infected
I have a theory. In order to kill someone or something infected with the thing without fire, you have to shoot its original infection point. For instance, if the only way to kill a zombie was to shoot it in the spot where it bit someone, it would kill it.
Why would they not believe him when they saw a creatures body there. They didn't know what it was but maccready told them. Why would they uncuff maccready when he attacked one soldier earlier and they think he's crazy. How did the soldier even get infected he didn't touch the body at the start And the story is bogus because it was confirmed child's was indeed infected in the movie. Gotta love how it attacks everyone out in the open and gets itself killed for no reason too.
Daniel Horsburgh 1. The commander was infected so he was denying everything 2. Mcready was knocked out, so anything could have happened when he was unconscious 3.The thing was mutating into Pybas's body, it tried its best to hide it but failed so it attacked them when they noticed
“We know about the blood test and fully believe the guy but for plot reasons we must bring him to the shed full of chainsaws-i mean into this heavily populated station. Don’t worry, that guy, who is fully aware of the capabilities of The Thing agrees that this is the best course of action”
I've always thought that child's was infected, because at the end when Kurt Russel and him are sitting together hands him a bottle of some type of alcohol and child's drinks it. Kurt Russel starts laughing hysterically and so does child's awkwardly, but it's because in the bottle was gasoline from the Molotov cocktails to burn the thing. If child's was human he'd spit that out and say WTF is this shit, but the thing would do anything to appear human hence the very awkward laughing at the end. But still a good comic.
Nick Williams it was confirmed by John that he was infected and the actor said he was laughing because he knew anyway he was infected before handing the bottle.
@Micah Mcgaffin He said in a tweet that one of them was infected at the end. My money's on MacReady. After all, we never saw him cut his thumb. It could've been anyone's blood that he tested, just taking a little extra from an uninfected person and passing it off as his own. All part of his plan to kill the rest of the team and remain the only trustworthy source to come out of all of this. After all, it was he who made all those recordings on the creature, so who wouldn't trust him to be human?
Oh and to all those who are bashing my dude about the "speaking Argentinean thing" you know there are differences in the regional dialects of Spanish spoken in different hemispheres of the world like say it'd be different in Mexico from Argentina from Ecuador from Spain. Yes the basics are the same but the dialogue between two different dialects would be like an American speaking English to a British citizen and the difference they would find in sentence structure and slang as well as other things like cadences of speaking slurring certain parts of words, rhyming slang, syllable usage etc. Also the difference in formal and informal communication and identification of male and female connotations for words respectively. El, La, Ello, Ella, etc. and the use of formal language variables in different situations for different dialects and different locales. But most high school Spanish classes don't teach you that its something you pick up from your little old Abuelita whose 80 plus years old and still speaks better in Spanish than in English. For instance I was taught in schools Agua is Water, but my Mommom (Abuelita) pronounced it "Ah-wa" without the hard G sound. See what I mean. In proper Spanish you pronounce it phonetically but those with dialects have different pronunciation with a word as fundamental as WATER. Btws I spoke Spanish before I could walk so there's that too, but not so fluently anymore although I can survive in a Spanish speaking country if the need arises.
I don't know why but the thing reminds me of baby a villian from dbgt.He took over the bodies of sayians then laid eggs in them to make them do his bidding
I love your content, but please it's called Spanish. What, in Mexico they speak Mexican now, or Puertorrican in Puerto Rico and North American in well... I hope you get it!
As a medic I can tell you that human bodies are way too heavy to continuously drag for hours especially on a shitty poncho litter through snow. Me me angry from unrealism ):
wait i know im like a year late, but there's no "argentinian language" that'd be like calling spanish mexican language sure they've got their own words and such but it's still just spanish Edit: oh shit somebody already pointed this out, move along
