[@barmbailey6934]

You forgot to mention, after the comics; in 2002 The Thing videogame for the PS2. The events takes place directly after Macready blowing up the Antarctic Research base only for the Seal Rescue Team to find the remains of the base. You take control of a soldier who commands, squads of soldiers and the atmosphere plays an influence on their behavior. The game really captured a pseudo "Trust" system but eventually everyone besides the main character, Blake doesn't become infected. Towards the end it's discovered Blake isn't affected by The Thing's cells at all and sort of tosses the entire, infection theory out the window. I won't go into all the details but it got John Carpenter's blessing as well as himself being a character in the game and would really stand out today if it was Remade from the ground up.

[@anotherrandomtexan25]

This sounds amazing! Gunna see if I can put my PS back together n look for it!

[@christophermiller1595]

There's also a game just called "the thing" it's actually pretty good. You have to gain people's trust. Or it creates diversity and chaos. Doing certain things make them not trust you, or trust you. You have to brave the cold. In rescuing people. It's a whole bit. It's super fun.

[@jedibasschoke8909]

[@esdeseog3366]

I think some Japanese manga authors had the idea from this and make Parasyte The Maxim, it's really similar to this, they infected for host and they can transform into this flesh twisted inside out thing when they felt hostile for kill with their sharp blades that transform from part of their bodies but they have a mind of their own and doesn't need to combine with other living organisms, they just need host Theirs an animation, give it a try some you might like it if you like R rated gore stuff

[@thewanderingobserver]

Save yourself and don't, the story was alright, but the acting was alright at best and the fact that they covered all of the practical effects with cgi because of a studio exec killed the feel and tone, I mean they even used cgi for the big ice block that the "thing" was found in, just why you could literally use a gient block of ice in a freezer room or you know use a practical effect like carved semi clear/blue foam, but nope cgi cause reasons.

They didn’t even read the comic for the last portion of the video. It ends clearly showing that the Viking leader who lost his hand had re-grow in his missing hand. Clearly showing that he had already been infected by the end of the book and was about to kill his compatriot. The research for this article was minimal at best thumbs down for me.

[@spenbot1245]

I mean I quite enjoyed listening to this. I don’t know why everyone’s so mad about the name. always wondered about the comics and they were pretty cool

[@alias234]

So why didn't the thing from the viking era simply go on to spread across the world? Or why doesn't the fish thing simply spread its infection to every other ocean creature it comes across exponentially? The first film made it clear on the docs computer that even a single infected could start an unstoppable spread once it left the cold of Antarctica, it was the main reason why the movie was so tense, as the goal of the humans, aside from surviving themselves, was to ensure the creature or its cells didn't escape from the base.

[@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP]

Ego and because its goal is not global domination. Maybe that’s why it left its previous planet. Lack of nutrition due to its complete assimilation of all living creatures. But yeah they have personalities.

[@VJCastle]

I remember reading a short story in a Sci-Fi collection that was essentially the point of view of the thing during the events of the first movie. It didn't have the creature or the humans as bad guys, the problem between them was that the thing's cells were everything: muscle, brain, skin, blood, lung, nerve. The creature was so confused the first time it touched a human because it couldn't talk to them or see their thoughts and memories. When it realized the entire planet was full of individuals that could never fully come together with each other it just wanted off the planet

The dude with the red beard that does that creepy scream in the snow when his arms are transformed. Hes being licked by the dog in the intro and he turns out to be a thing later. Maybe when the dog was licking him it infected him

The concept that the thing got to the ocean, but didn't assimilate all the lifeforms doesn't make too much sense, except for the fact humanity would have little hope

A more believable scenario would be after they rescued MacReady & Childs its reported they found a 3rd survivor that turns out to be Nauls who we know as an audience got killed but we don't know if he was assimilated or not, so we'd be 100% behind MacReady & Childs trying to hunt Nauls down as I don't know a military hospital or something lol.*

[@robertzendejas8349]

I had always imagined that the Thing's home planet must have been an absolute nightmare hell world. What kind of lifeform would have adapted to defeat or even possibly prey on the Thing? I am of the opinion that the original base form of the Thing was purely animalistc. Not particularly intelligent or remotely sapient. No such beings had yet developed on it's home world. It had been discovered by an alien exploratory research team. Hence it's ascendancy to being capable of heuristic thought is extremely recent. It may be the only one of it's kind of it's species.

Childs is proven to be a thing in a youtube video that is definitive, so that comic isn't good. And actually now that I've watched the whole video, it is clear the comics are really bad. I read them a while ago and forgot, but I do remember that I did not like the stories. They show no understanding of the Thing's personality.
