the fact that on windows death for a second it showed palmer thing wearing a different color shirt, and when copper died his sleeves are suddenly rolled up
I wonder what happens to the hosts counsciousness? Does the thing completely erase it from the existence or are the host still alive after the assimilation but suffering under the thing's control?
well, you wont be alive when the thing changes you. there is no host. it changes you cell by cell. in the end, you are no longer human. you are an alien that looks like a human.
I don't quite get the logic in the Thing's methods. 1. I understand Henrik's case, the Thing was quite new, it didn't know how humans react to an assimilation attempt. 2. After his first attempt ended in flames, he tried to be more stealthy, we didn't notice a thing from Juliette's and Griess' assimilation. This is also very logic. 3. Then the first thing I don't understand: How come it had to attack Kate so openly and agressively? Why couldn't it be just as stealthy as with e.g. Juliette? If it works with touching the victim (Adam) or grabbing by hand (Blair), why is this flexing needed? Kate was an easy prey there, and it ruined the whole situation with this agressive attack. 4. In dog-form the Thing is now much more experienced, he starts brilliantly, assimilating the first victim, probably Norris, with full discrecy. Then why does it have to transform among those other dogs? Why couldn't it just wait for the morning and assimilate some other men, still not knowing a thing? (I mean: in dog form, it saw that MacReady and Doc bring the dead amalgam-Thing so probably they will find out something about it, but that would've been still more time than just instantly finding out everything because of its transformation.)
Those are very good questions The thing's mistakes can be that it was selfconfident enough to belive it could assimilate Kate quite fast while being agressive However there's other fact I don't get
The problem is that we think about the Thing in a human way. I'm not sure this Thing is that logic, for me it's more a mix between a disease and an animal. I think most times when it tries to assimilate other people that's because it is hungry, simply... Or because it is being discovered and so has no other choice than to try killing everybody around... It also seems to be more stable in hound form than in human form, maybe because it is more complicated to mimic a human than a hound ? 🤔
Well, I mean the answers for both is because it seemed like the time to put a "reveal" scene there by the filmmakers, but that's the boring answer. We can speculate that the thing transforming instead of stealthily attacking is it asserting dominance over it's prey like many other animals do. Now the transformation in the cage could be that it felt cornered and threatened in the cage 🤷🏻♂️
you know, thinking about it I have an especulation about how it actually worked, if you think about it the thing always transforms when it is in the most unfortunate situation or the most advantageous. So I think more than it being on purpose it was more of an timer thing or uncontrollable instict of attacking his victims, like an "incompatible" host that can't stay in his normal form. Thats why with other bodies it can stay much longer undercover. Or it's not that complicated and they just wanted to show each transformation from each infested host and show that the creature is just that feral and violent.
my best assumption, the more it splits, the less it remembers, it only remembers what their victims do, but as they get destroyed, it loses that experience, memory etc, it cant copy it where two thing remember the same stuff, and sacrificing all that biomass to keep itself alive probably doesnt help, but its instinct is to stay alive at all costs
a horrifying creature is chasing you, pick one A. run as fast as you can and escape the monster B. run the lowest you ever ran and trip over everything possible even if its not in your way C. just stand there and get eaten the people in this movie: "ima go with B or C"
I mean Adam… the monster come really slow to him and he so: hmm I hope the monster get now burned. In the 1982 they all was 10000 times smarter. And I go with A
Gotta say I really dig this scene. That… THING!!!… looks so alien. Looks like some bizarre horse with like Starship Trooper Arachnid legs eating through its gut. 0:26 Both darn good movies.
Question: Why didn't Adam just stand up and run away? If he couldn't run, his legs should have been able to scoot him away when he ran into a room and closed it; for example.
You guys realize that Blair was actually a hero? Before getting assimilated he stopped the thing from ever escaping into the real world by getting rid of everything the thing could use to escape.
Lost count of how many times I've seen it since it was released back in 1982, bought it on VHS when it first came out and i wore the tape out, got it on dvd back in 2002, seen it a few times on TV, as well as a matter of fact it's on film 4 tonight (16/ 02 /24,) got it in to record, P. S. Seen it 3 times in one week when it was released back in 1982, the best horror /Sci fi film ever made in my honest opinion
The reason they did CGI was because originally they wanted to do practical effects, but other film people idk what spent said that it was "better to do CGI"
A few thoughts I've had... If the Thing absorbed someone wearing a wool sweater, could it become a sheep? Or a cotton plant if they were wearing cotton? Or a tree from the wooden boards of the outposts? Does the organic matter it absorbs have to be alive?
1:28 this is the only thing i rember from this movie and its because of the way he moves his arms its like hes about to break out into a dance or something.
The dog transforming into the Thing in the 1982 film is so incredibly gross! 🤢 The special effects in the 1982 film are far superior than the 2011 film.
During the dog transformation, just before Childs began to burn it, did anyone notice a green colored human eye looking right at him before the face split open? Would anyone care to guess whose eye that belonged to? Had to have been from someone in the 2011 crew.
“According to John Carpenter's commentary, in the Kennel-Thing we are seeing bits and pieces of creatures the Thing has absorbed on other worlds before reaching Earth”
I know the 2011 thing is a huge step down from the 1982 one, what with the CGI, carbon copying the Carpenter one, and the acting…but one thing I’ll say. The sound design they used, specifically for Juliet? Terrifying. So they get a point or two for that in my opinion.
It would have to be destroyed in captivity like this. Because if any military branch on earth got ahold of it that would be the worst outcome. They would try and weaponize it and it would eventually escape. A creature that's survived millions of years longer than humans would eventually get smart and find a way to free itself. And like any parasite it's only objective is to spread and survive.
No the thing is that it takes only 1 cell now in theory we could prob come up with a way to counter that new antibodies and such however the distrust that would be around and the other fact that this thing is smart and would slowly become immune to the tests overtime
I don't understand why in the 2011 version it had those hooks, or whatever you want to call them, but in the Kurt Russell version it didn't. It's 2 completely different Things. :) :)
i never understood why the thing would decide to attack on the helicopter in the prequel. It had a sure way of getting to larger populations but risked crashing the helicopter.
They're still fighting shape-shifting aliens from space that disguise as a part of their crew. It's basically among us but on earth, or among us is basically this but in space
Question: Why didn't Adam just stand up and run away? If he couldn't run, his legs should have been able to scoot him away when he ran into a room and closed it; for example.
At ye end if this film there is no steam coming from the black Guys mouth but you can hardly see the white guy for steam . He also says he went and got lost in a storm!? What storm it’s a clear night while they are fighting the final form plus he would not go out alone after it. I think he is the thing.
No ha sia l'orecchino ché il dente incisivo d'oro, come spiegato nel film del 2011 e anche in modo molto logico, i corpi estranei come protesi, otturazioni e piercing, la Cosa non lì può replicare, quindi Childs è umano. Praticamente l'unica cosa positiva ché fa il film del 2011 è rispondere a questa domanda, per il resto avrebbero potuto fare di meglio.
Posso dire con molta sicurezza chè il gioco per XBOX "The Thing" sequel del film del 1982, sia molto più bello ed orrorifico del film del 2011, grazie anche alle musiche di Morricone riproposte.
The Thing came out back in 1982, almost 40 years before among us released. Among us’s basic premise is heavily inspired by The Thing, and not the opposite. The thing’s inspiration came from the 1950s horror movie The Thing from Another World, which in turn took inspiration from John Campbell’s horror novella Who Goes There?

Uncanny
Será pingu the thing
the fact that on windows death for a second it showed palmer thing wearing a different color shirt, and when copper died his sleeves are suddenly rolled up
15:51 those crackling sounds of the spider legs and eyes storks makes my skin crawl
14:23 "Chomp"
'' You called me a crazy when I brought a flamethrower to an arctic expedition'' is my all time favorite youtube comment
The one from 1982 is so unbelievably good. Easily in my top 3 horror movies ever
I wonder what happens to the hosts counsciousness? Does the thing completely erase it from the existence or are the host still alive after the assimilation but suffering under the thing's control?
They feel everything
@@JohnUrban-r8f So the victims are still alive after the assimilation?
@@finlandguy427 like their cells are getting taken over they can still feel and see everything thats going on
well, you wont be alive when the thing changes you. there is no host. it changes you cell by cell. in the end, you are no longer human. you are an alien that looks like a human.
@@JohnUrban-r8f I thought the subjects were killed but there bodies and memories were replicated.
I don't quite get the logic in the Thing's methods.

I think Adam has the worst fate out of all these characters, haha
a horrifying creature is chasing you, pick one
A. run as fast as you can and escape the monster
B. run the lowest you ever ran and trip over everything possible even if its not in your way
C. just stand there and get eaten
the people in this movie: "ima go with B or C"
I pick A.
I mean Adam… the monster come really slow to him and he so: hmm I hope the monster get now burned. In the 1982 they all was 10000 times smarter. And I go with A
I pick A, ain’t no way they just trip over anything or just stand there accepting their fate.
Gotta say I really dig this scene. That… THING!!!… looks so alien. Looks like some bizarre horse with like Starship Trooper Arachnid legs eating through its gut. 0:26
Both darn good movies.
Question: Why didn't Adam just stand up and run away? If he couldn't run, his legs should have been able to scoot him away when he ran into a room and closed it; for example.
It was already too late
Yeah it was way to late the thing had already touched him so he was done for
Easier said then done
9:22 for the thing 2011 haters
Hope the sequel comes out.
I wish they adapt The Thing: northman nightmare comic.
If a sequel comes out for the thing, I bet it would focus on the Soviet Unions perspective.
Soviet scientists collapse before the thing even manages to come into story
10:44 The dogs run out of the shed
14:23 "Bites down"
16:23 When i see the mother of all messes
19:12 The roach sees me with a can of Raid
You guys realize that Blair was actually a hero? Before getting assimilated he stopped the thing from ever escaping into the real world by getting rid of everything the thing could use to escape.
if the thing can't assimilate mankind today then it'll just wait a little longer. there is no lack of patience in this thing.
Lost count of how many times I've seen it since it was released back in 1982, bought it on VHS when it first came out and i wore the tape out, got it on dvd back in 2002, seen it a few times on TV, as well as a matter of fact it's on film 4 tonight (16/ 02 /24,) got it in to record, P. S. Seen it 3 times in one week when it was released back in 1982, the best horror /Sci fi film ever made in my honest opinion
The blood went like AAAAAAHHHHH!!!
It's clear as night and day, how much better the practical effects of the 1982 version look, when compared to the CGI in the 2011 version
The reason they did CGI was because originally they wanted to do practical effects, but other film people idk what spent said that it was "better to do CGI"
Nice homage to a detail from 1982 at 17:40 in the 2011 one at 4:43 with the almost identical lamp shattering
The 2011 Thing has it's problems, but I do love the fact that the Juliette-Thing tries to extinguish itself in the kitchen.
They should make a game about the thing in the style of until dawn.
Among Us
A few thoughts I've had...
If the Thing absorbed someone wearing a wool sweater, could it become a sheep? Or a cotton plant if they were wearing cotton? Or a tree from the wooden boards of the outposts? Does the organic matter it absorbs have to be alive?
Deve essere viva
1:28 this is the only thing i rember from this movie and its because of the way he moves his arms its like hes about to break out into a dance or something.
Fire is the best invention of all time 🔥
15:09 Flamethrower and dynamite? An explosive mixture😱
I love the CGI
I hate the CGI it’s not the same and pales in comparison as the practicality of the 1982 thing.
everytime that damn flamethrowers ...
The dog transforming into the Thing in the 1982 film is so incredibly gross! 🤢 The special effects in the 1982 film are far superior than the 2011 film.
Accept for the blob the blob is so grosser that the thing cause the way it just Heating inside of a red gooey red slime
yo y los panas cuando hacemos un test quien es un transespecie: 16:40
Both transformations of the thing in both movies are scary
Wouldn't be a thing movie without a dead dog, right?
-Dead Meat
During the dog transformation, just before Childs began to burn it, did anyone notice a green colored human eye looking right at him before the face split open? Would anyone care to guess whose eye that belonged to? Had to have been from someone in the 2011 crew.
“According to John Carpenter's commentary, in the Kennel-Thing we are seeing bits and pieces of creatures the Thing has absorbed on other worlds before reaching Earth”
Dog scene in kennel broke my heart as kiddo. 😢
I know the 2011 thing is a huge step down from the 1982 one, what with the CGI, carbon copying the Carpenter one, and the acting…but one thing I’ll say.
The sound design they used, specifically for Juliet? Terrifying. So they get a point or two for that in my opinion.
"Want a hand" is def the scariest part of the 2011 one
still the best one
That’s why freezing it was always the best option. Idk why neither crew adapt to the snow and trapped it
Burning the thing was the only way to burn the things cells, burning the cells is the only way it can die.
It just wanted to be loved...
9:22 that secne yukine chris react that
The dog thing made me sad 😢
Crazy how much scarier the practical effects are compared to the cgi
From among us it was based on this movie
That was i was saying
true terror and suspense
I'm thinking, would humanity be able to survive against this plague if that happened?
It would have to be destroyed in captivity like this. Because if any military branch on earth got ahold of it that would be the worst outcome. They would try and weaponize it and it would eventually escape. A creature that's survived millions of years longer than humans would eventually get smart and find a way to free itself. And like any parasite it's only objective is to spread and survive.
probably not
Nope. We will become a giant gorgeous flesh( 8 billion people + animals)
No the thing is that it takes only 1 cell now in theory we could prob come up with a way to counter that new antibodies and such however the distrust that would be around and the other fact that this thing is smart and would slowly become immune to the tests overtime
Who created such a grotesque movie?😱😱 I`m hooked on it!😍😍
rob bottin made the puppets john carpenter is the director
Dude the near the last part lol
They hurt the alien
Okay but why do people hate CGI? I think it's pretty cool..
practical effects are much better and realistic, and some people think cgi looks sloppy and crap.
1982 film 🔛🔝
Adoro esse filem
2011 looks like a dead space cut scene or resident evil
I don't understand why in the 2011 version it had those hooks, or whatever you want to call them, but in the Kurt Russell version it didn't. It's 2 completely different Things. :) :)
La película merece un 10
Julletie looks like FROM Micry celer
The Thing 1982. in de best horror sf movie
i never understood why the thing would decide to attack on the helicopter in the prequel. It had a sure way of getting to larger populations but risked crashing the helicopter.
Does anyone else find it funny when windows is getting eaten and his legs are just flailing around 😂?
The 2011 cgi for the thing looks absolutely awful, even for 2011 cgi
I love those movies
Like this film
THE easter EGG IN horror TALE 1 posters DEATH park and THE thing
I got nightmares
Shotgun with incedinary round ( dragon breath ) will end the game in one place
I wish this is all of my family
Do you know the Slater movie?The grand Chester a met just turn amazing.The grand justin turned able and I saw grill
1982 > 2011
Among us be like.
They should make this into a game
Thats basically what among us is
They are not in space
They're still fighting shape-shifting aliens from space that disguise as a part of their crew. It's basically among us but on earth, or among us is basically this but in space
True
I think both Among us and this film are all connected together.
What is that thing?!
Half life headcrab infeccion in cut context:
Cursed 2 The Thing Still Wakes the Deep
The hand assimilation and face assimilation are the worst ones
Question: Why didn't Adam just stand up and run away? If he couldn't run, his legs should have been able to scoot him away when he ran into a room and closed it; for example.
Lars🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥my man
2:04 mimicry reference?
THEY FUCKING HURT THE ALIEN GODDAMN IT
this hurts my guts.
Please tell me they didn't hurt any real dogs during production?
They killed 100.
They massacred an entire breed of dogs specifically to make these two movies.
Yes and they cooked them with the flamethrower and ate them.
They dissected and combined hundreds of dogs to create the Thing.
@@joelang3217 Please tell me you guys are joking.
Shame I feel sorry for the dog
Yeah he was a very handsome doggy
It’s chapter 2 reference
こっちの方がバイオっぽいわ
At ye end if this film there is no steam coming from the black
Guys mouth but you can hardly see the white guy for steam . He also says he went and got lost in a storm!? What storm it’s a clear night while they are fighting the final form plus he would not go out alone after it. I think he is the thing.

Guys, are you think it is among us reference or not?
I really think so...

Why is it so dark? I can't see anything.
