CLIP DESCRIPTION:
As Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Carter (Joel Edgerton) make their way back to base, Kate realizes that Carter is not human.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish. The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name. -

The saddest part, for me, is knowing that Carter went into that cave/spaceship and never came back out. He died somewhere in there and she walks out alone essentially.
Yeah... 😢💔
I'm pretty sure he was the thing long before they entered the ship.....
@@Anonymous-yq6wy what makes you say that? She clearly states that she KNEW he hadn’t gotten assimilated because of his ear ring.
@@drunkenmonkey28 remember the helicopter crash? At that point he died and the thing intimidated him from then on out.
@@Anonymous-yq6wy I remember the crash but she said “when you showed up back at base” AFTER the crash. 0:53
It's super cool how the Carter-Thing was trying to learn about the snowmobile and how it looked confused when the wipers came on; it's obvious, but it was trying to learn how to drive.
Silly Goose Productions i never noticed that until you pointed it out.
well played nicely observed
Are you sure the thing can completely assimilate people's memories? wouldn't the thing in this scene have remembered which ear it used to have its earring on?
Silly Goose Productions That is such a super fucking cool detail, never noticed until you mention, but now I've seen it, it's so painfully obvious yet subtle.
Great acting on that dudes part, didn't over or undersell it at all. That's creepy as fuck.
you obviously don't understand the concept of the Thing then. If it was "surprised" by the window wipers then that's only because the imitation would have been surprised. think about it, if the thing can perfectly imitate someone's memories then why would it not be able to member things such as driving? assume comments like these are made by people who only saw the movie once. probbly didnt even watch john carpenter's version.
Alternative scene:
Carter: Kate, let's talk about this 👐
Kate: Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself.
Carter: Okay... Here's the thing..........
Aren't you clever
@@ra_alf9467 WHY
@@CoolF41lur3
Somebody needed to say it.
another end
flamethrower fuel is out and kate dies xd
@@ra_alf9467 no, just no.
They should've left it ambiguous, but when you hear it screaming so weirdly you know it was actually The Thing.
It was obvious already due to the lack of the earring, the scream if anything doesn’t change much
@@RandomMink I agree. It was already pretty obvious it wasn't him due to the concrete observation that his earring moved, but say they changed the earring part of the plot device, and she suspected it wasn't him due to a behavioral analysis, such as something like: him using his left hand to do something he would normally use his right hand for. In that case, I think it would have been slightly more abstract and a little less obvious to the viewer. In that context, a "non-thing" scream would have been perfect for establishing uncertainty, regret, and paranoid tendancies. Unfortunately for recent movies, establishing "Mary Sues" seems to be a toxic trend in overempowering female roles that were previously male. I think KEW is a great actress, but the fault wasn't with her. Leaving it ambiguous like that would have made for a better story in regard to her character, and exposed supposed vulnerabilities, maybe would have given it a few more marks on RT, but I'm not a screen or story writer, so who am I to judge?
Go back to your channel kid
@@crypastesomemore8348who were you replying to
Didn’t think I’d see you here, Gman. :)
The thing is either a very good mimic or it genuinely was begging for its life...
The Everchosen
or both..
@david i dont think you understood how the alien works...they eat a person entirely, spitting out the non-organic parts, then make a replica of it. Carter wasn't wearing an earring because this was never him, this was a clone
+David Frigault I'm not sure being infected has to do with missing his earring, I mean if he didn't know he was infected then wasn't he supposed to assimilate in some way or something?
David Frigault Dude, you do realize how stupid it would've been if Carter-Thing jumps at Kate right? She literally have a flamethrower pointed at him so if he charges at her, he would've been died faster than your intelligence.
General x Productions not really they're surounded in snow, all's he had to do if run at her had some minor burns jump in the snow..... Palmer thing got burn alot and guess what? He run opened a door and ran out of a room and out into the snow. It could've been better had they not had the Thing sound or if he had charged at her got burned and suffer a few burns and went fight or flight mode.
Another piece of evidence that this isn't Carter is when the Thing posing as him starts messing around with the controls in the snowmobile, not knowing how to start it up (confusion when it sees the windshield wipers turn on).
Carter, being a seasoned pilot, would be well versed in how to operate the vehicle.
Except the Thing also can copy memories.
-Plot Hole.
Do you really need any evidence? Listen to it when she burns it
Even a 9 year old kid would knew how to start the Car's Engine
Another bit of evidence is earlier when he finds her being attacked by the giant thing, he doesn’t immediately use his flamethrower to attack. It’s only for a few seconds but you’d think he would attack it straight away, he just kinda stands and doesn’t do anything.
Slathe The Space Marine, I was going to say this too
This is a GREAT Scene. The way she quickly saw it wasn’t him. And then tricked the creature that she was putting things up. And the creature thinking it’s Won. WONDERFUL ENDING.
There's a really dark joke here. When she grabs the flamethrower she says, "I'll put this in the back". She did, when she went out of view for a moment, she strapped it on her back!
Bingo
No, sorry.. A 'Wonderful' ending would be them mimicking the original's ambiguous ending with you not entirely knowing whether or not she was right with her choice as the flames gushed forth. This is just.. meh.
@@Nyrkes I’ll have to disagree even more and say that the best ending to this abomination of a remake is for it to have never been made . Some things just shouldn’t be redone , 1982s The Thing, is one of them.
@@jackburton5483 Ok... *inhales*
Yes.. I completely agree with you on that matter. I thought this film had no business being made, only to find out later on that they scrapped practically all of the practical effects to opt for CGI, and my ambivalence towards this project soured into hate.
I was working on the aspect of 'Reality' when I said they shoulda' made the ending line up a bit more with the OG film/'s ambiguity, but yes.. Totally. If we're stepping back in time and planting our feet in the fractal point where the parallels splinter off into the numerous 'What-ifs', I would choose the reality where this movie never got the support/funding it needed, or even better, the screenplay was tragically destroyed along with the person who actually thought this dreck should be considered at all.
Prequels are 'Ok-ish' in small doses and only if they're handled by ppl that truly love and respect the lore their diving into. Unfortunately, Hollywood/The Movie Industry doesn't share that mentality and far too often the sludge at the bottom gets dredged up to the light instead of the talent that's there staring at us from the surface.
I like how this is the only time someone spoke directly to the Thing, as the Thing. It made me realize for the first time how precise the imitation is, it speaking to her and understanding subtle cues.
Yes, the facial expression, the exasperated pleas that's almost slightly angry...I'd really think I was mistaken.
But of course, all this is easy to do from an acting standpoint.
She could have asked it where it came from.
@@arkatoz It would be undoubtedly fascinating to have a conversation with a Thing, but I think from what we've seen, that it'd either just try to plead and pretend to be human, or to go ballistic apeshit. A facial expression from Palmer Thing is obviously fascinating here. He has this facial expression of "welp, my cover is about to be blown". It did not have to do that, but it did. It used a human expression when understanding its predicament.
@@chinchilla415a convo with the thing needs to happen in a future sequel because it’s demonstrably intelligent and is fully aware of what’s going on. In the 1982 version, it assimilates Blair and begins to make a ufo underground. It’s super smart..
@@kalikiter1 It seems the thing's only purpose is to survive and spread. I'm not so sure it has much independent thoughts other than that.
I love how it was trying to bullshit it's way out of the situation
Or the alien actually wanted to talk about his situation
Bsteg Media Nahh its intentions were clear
@@bstegmedia Maybe it tried to build a ship in the original to go back to space maybe it just wanted to get off earth the whole time and only assimilated the people who got in it's way or needed a human form to control the ship properly.
It learned from humanity, quickly!
Just like a human would :3
Pity she torched it. It could have been the first intelligent conversation anybody ever had with the Thing.
DaRossiGamer Not really. It's talked it's way through both movies and the only intention it had for even doing so was to infect people. Infecting people and killing them is it's only goal, and any smart individual would kill that in an instant, not give it a chance to attack.
That's what many said about Hilary after the first presidential debate.
I'm not saying she climbs into the snowcat with the thing. Just stay outside, have the chat at flamethrower-point, and torch it afterwards.
David 8 thinks you would survive in a horror movie
DaRossiGamer Also, the way the thing works, is it can't infect the brain. So humans think they're still human even after it's assimilated all of their cells and don't know themselves until it's too late.
What I like about this ending is that both organisms used their most powerful weapon against each other.
The Thing used it's shape shifting and deception to trick the humans, but the humans used their intellect to deduct the Thing's weakness and trick it into revealing itself.
Kate managed to survive because she was the most clever. Survival of the fittest.
It's not so black and white tho imo. The Thing is most likely smarter. Much smarter. It has a sophisticated spaceship and most likely traveled light years to get to earth.
It's the same as a leopard might outwit a human in some cases but humans are still far superior in overall intelligence.
@@Southpaw88 That's implying that ship was the Thing's and not the previous owner who was assimilated but initiated a crash landing before the Thing could stop it. Also considering Carter-Thing was messing with the snowplow's mechanisms it is possible the Thing wouldn't know how to work the ship besides trial and error. However, that still doesn't answer why the Thing was outside of the ship but even if it was it's ship it doesn't answer why the Thing was outside of it's ship since it seems to be operational and was warm and toasty in the ship. Maybe the ships owner did the panel thing and the Thing was launched out of it and stuck and froze but that's all I got.
@@-THE_META I agree with you, and the thing wasn't the original pilot of the ship.
We actually don't know if Kate survived because it doesn't show us what happened to her after that, it only shows us her sitting in the snow vehicle so we really don't know her fate
The humans' most powerful weapon: their intellect.
But let's give some credit to the flamethrower here.
Her face at 1:12 when it couldn't remember which ear it was on, confirming what she wished wasn't true...
She’s a great actress. She is the only performer worth watching in the entire Final Destination series.
@Millian Macalintal devon sawa isnt in the thing
Problem is, it SHOULD have remembered the correct ear, since it assimilated his brain which should have told it which ear it had gotten pierced.
She and “Carter” are both awesome actors.
@@Smoove_J ironically her character, Wendy, in Final Destination 3 is the trilogy’s favorite character. And the movie itself is actually a favorite among the rest
Imagine he never wore earrings at all....holy shit.
Fred Smith Lols
Then Kate wouldn't have trusted him, and the movie would have gone a different way.
Or if he just fancied a change and put the earring in the other ear
Yes, Kate wouldn't have trusted him since she would never have taken him for a homosexual.
The thing will not kill Kate it will just have sex with her
I liked how for once the Thing didn't just blindly attack when discovered
It preys on manipulation and it was essentially backed into a corner so it tried one last desperation tactic. It didnt attack because it wanted to reach civilization and it knew that had it tricked Kate it would of won. It needs atleast 1 human around so that it can keep up its plans.
@@dinolover what is the things plans tho, to kill everybody and then be a loner for the rest of its life?
@@normalparodies931 it operates on a basic survival mechanism so yes, it's only goal is to assimilate all life on a planet via reproduction.
@@dinolover actually nobody can say that with 100% of assurance
.
because we dont know if is trying to reach civilization or try to get out of the earth.
@@dinolover We don't know that is what it wants. It could've been the Aliens' advanced tech gone rogue for all we know. Like the nanotechnology in "An Empty Child" in Dr. Who.
The fact that Carter looked perplexed trying to figure out how to run the Snowmobile was more of a tell than the earring.
Not Really, now putting his hand on the wrong ear did it.
@@joethekinghawk7514 fax I mean your earring must be something u can't just forget wich ear u put it on unless ur drunk or something
@@Dav624 exactly, plus we humans make a big deal about our sexuality due to which ear our jewelry or earrings are in.
Dosent the thing copy memories too?
Like it knows who the victims freinds are with and persons names
How macines works its the asimilated persons Daily routines?
@@johndetheshape3095 only recent memories. The guy put the ear rings along time ago.
I can’t believe how many people think Kate survived the ending of the movie. She still definitely died, she had no idea where the Soviet base was located. At best she still freezes to death, the writer confirmed as much that in the script, she doesn’t live.
So nobody survived any of the two movies? Damn, I‘d always thought Kate or someone else who knew about the incident at both camps would return to either one of them, preferably the american camp only to find everyone dead and Macready frozen.
@@Tmtrnr22
In the videogame and comic sequel to the original Thing, Macready survives.
Both are suppose to be alternate endings, so I'm not sure which is canon or noncanon. (The game was directed by John Carpenter though.)
@Battleguild I heard that Carpenter endorsed the story of the video game so he may prefer that ending/continuation of Macready‘s story though I love 1982‘s ending. I‘d love to know what happened to Kate. We know that there is a cut of the 2011 movie with additional character development scenes and practical monster effects that is still hidden away by Universal. Maybe we will get that cut in the future though I doubt they would do that. Baffling to me is how easy it would be to just release these kinds of finished cuts/things that studios so often times refuse to release just because they can’t make a huge amount of money out of it this time around.
We need a third film. Kate survives and reaches another camp.
I would expect him to transform and try to attack her before she shot him with the fire.
He didn't have enough budget to undergo the transformation.
Lmao
you mean IT didnt
That's why I thought she may be wrong as his defence was zero !
The carter thing seemed to be more intelligent, and was willing to talk even after being found out. Kate missed a chance to communicate with a thing.
You can imagine MacReady, Norris and Palmer finding the spacecraft and then finding two disused snowmobiles. One with a half burned thing, and one with a very frozen human.
I wonder what happened to kate?
It's Kate's body...
They didn't actually found her body right?
I would imagine the snow cat became covered with snow
Actually Mac, Horris and Palmer were on the other side of the frozen spaceship and not just that but the snowcats were hiding behind a bigger piece of ice or snow so they weren't visible
That look that she gave it at 0:25 was so well done to me. She's sad, she's depressed, she's cold and now she's having to kill someone that she liked and cared about. That look, my goodness that could've of won an Oscar by itself.. lol
she cant act worth a damm,you must be drunk
You mean she has to kill a thing!
It isn't Carter. It isn't someone she cared about. Not a single cell of it's body is Carter's, it's just imitating him.
@@denierdev9723 we all knew but thanks
@@ughugh351 ÆUGH.
The only reason why the thing didn’t attack her right away was because it needed her help to get to civilization to spread. That was the whole point of it trying to survive in that environment throughout both movies.
But why does it need her though
Nunca preciso dela de vdd,bastava assimila
@@nimeshsingh4943 well as you can see in the video, the thing doesn't really know how alot of human tech works, so it needs a human who does, it can't go solo and needs an assisting human so it can fulfill its plans without said human(s) knowing
@@gabrielewilson4678i like how the thing was tryng to reason with the human instead of blindly attacking.
@@serrydzzatr4672 i feel like we somehow saw more character from the thing in this one, even though this movie is worst then the first thing movie, i like that about this movie. although i guess the thing doesn't really need to be shown with character since it impersonates as other people
*I guess his plan of escaping.. went up in flames* 😄
Holy shit you're here
It was in one ear...out the other.
AcidGlow I've seen you on so many videos XD
AcidGlow wow
Yup
1:17 And in that moment, It knew it fucked up.
Smart girl she was testing it and it failed. The thing had an opportunity to attack when her guard was down.
If you watched a movie, or an 1982 one for that matter, you would noticed the thing never really attacks anyone in the open, it prefers confined spaces, as morphing takes some time, even as little as a few seconds, but its not instant unlike Alien attack for example, and in confined spaces like helicopter or a room you can't get away in time before it comes out and pounces at you, while in the open you have that time gap. But assuming even if thing came out in the open and got her, then what? Assuming it even knew how to drive, its still less far less suspicious to have another human, and a bonus point a lady, confirm the story to russians what happened at norwegian base, rather than single survivor would have more focus on him and thus higher chance of exposure. What the thing did in a dog runaway is a borderline desperate move, it really went va banque as norwegians were a really tough bunch and almost nailed all of thing, normal flow of events for a 100k year old alien is to pick off one by one, not to run from them, and then once nobody left, calmly move to next area and rinse and repeat there, while with the dog situation anyone with half a brain should have ask themselves, could any freaking animal of this planet run through hundreds of kilometers in freezing temperatures and not show a hint of fatigue, frostbite, or anything really, it just screams suspicion, russians would have at least give that dog a proper examination, and very likely expose it with blood analysis or something, but amoronicans would rather shoot a crazy white guy and put that absolutely unknown animal with their own animal flock, really stupid of them, while the extraterrestrial is highly intelligent, and seeks to expand until it controls 100% of everything, if Kate didn't burn it, and even if thing didn't assimilate her in the truck which would be most likely to happen, next stop would be coming out in russian base, and when hell would have unleashed there, russians would have evacuated and spread it to other continents, trust me on that! Kate singlehandedly prevented that from happening, as she cockblocked the thing from flying away in a helicopter earlier, all props to her regal attention to detail. Would an average person under stress care about what ear the dude had an earring in let alone notice he had it at all? You, I and 95% of lemmings would have been like ffflol who the hell cares lets get outta here. And she battled to the end
Hannah Kleber 6
Hannah Kleber macready and Norris found ship in ice they see hatch is open from kate and Carter
Carter was An imposter.
0 imposters remain
@@RandomMink 1 impostor remains - the wolfdog
Cremate wins
PLOT TWIST:
The crewmates are not in fact, and earthlings, but aliens themselves...
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 and impostors were left behind on the Skeld. The remaining impostors 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.
I like how among us is basically the thing but it takes place in space
It's cool when you look and really think about it. It was confused for a second but once it realized what was going on the fear and fight or flight strikes in. It knows it doesn't have enough time to transform and attack her so it's panicking, trying to reason with her.
One does wonder if it actually wanted to speak and explain itself when it said "Lets talk about this"
imagine a thing that is friendly or cooperative
Kyle Hall Lol
This is the reason scientists always die first in these movies.
When it says " Let's talk about this" Means it's gonna infect you bro I would have done same shit she did to it
What about all the other characters that mutated? They all acted natural till The Thing decided to spaz out and try to eat everybody. None of those people knew they were infected till it was too late.
These are questions only the *reaaaal* Mr. Krabs would know. The phony gets the tartar sauce.
mmmm! YAHM! YAHM!
Ravioli, Ravioli, Give me the Formuoli!
Wow, Owen Lars just can’t help but getting toasted
Lol and theres another Lars in the movie.
At first I thought she knew he was an alien because he was missing or had the earring on the wrong ear.
But now I realize she confirmed it because the thing touched the wrong ear.
I've watched this numerous times and yet never realized that the alien was trying to learn how to drive the vehicle. I somehow overlooked it repeatedly lol
I noticed that too at 0:36
That's usually when you know it's a good movie. When you can watch multiple times, it holds up, and you're still learning new things. I did that recently with Halloween (1978).
Damn!..But she had no choice
Of course she didn't. Whatever that creature is, it cannot be let out into the world. Everyone would die!
soo she died too ?
+børek I would hope so. She's too beautiful for death
+børek That's true. Like the first film (except that one is better). As far as I'm concerned, she is alive and well, curling up to a cozy fire in her mansion in Denver, with her new beau probably named Mark, and they have a huskey named Blizzard (I like it when the good guys have a happy ending, okay?)
Why does a movie always have to have a happy ending ? Its so gay
Thing: "Ok! I finally am going to escape! But first... How tf do I drive?-"
You gotta love how she gave The Thing constructive criticism on how to become a better infiltrater
I like how the Carter-Thing is at 0:36 is trying to figure out how to use the snowcat
Giorgio Larriva wow i'm not see that @@@
Does cleaning snow from window seems unusual?
@@anirbanpatra3017 I said the same thing.
@@anirbanpatra3017 it was the constant looking around while in the snowcat .
She could've just got him to come out and then burn him.. At least she wouldn't have destroyed the truck and could've gone to the nearby base..
There were two trucks there.
Cinereo Fair tbh.
KingCamembert why didn't it just absorb her? I'm a big fan of the original, and this scene in particular made no sense to me.
Blueskadoo It wanted to get to a base first to infect more people. It's a bit tricky trying to overpower someone with a live flamethrower out of nowhere.
KingCamembert But they walked to the truck together while it was in control of the flame thrower.
I really wished that she initiated a conversation with it. Asked it questions like: "Are you aware you replaced him? Or do you truly believe you're him?"
I doubt it would converse with her.. it’s a conquerer of worlds and probably views us the same way we view an ant. If she tried it would almost certainly jump her. It cares about one ‘thing’ only and that is itself.
The acting and suspense here is amazing. Mary and Joel are both awesome and Joel does personify the Thing so much that he seems human right top until the very end and you almost sympathize with him. I still feel badly with the, "Kate, Kate, Kate....noooooooooo!!!!!!"
It'd be funnier if he wasn't actually the thing and she just killed a human.
When I first watched it I didn't hear the thing screams so I actually thought he was human when he died. But I rewatched it and now it's proven lol
Lmao yeah if you couldnt hear the roars then you need to see a doctor
actually it's not because they should all be ded just to be sure the thing would never get to civilization
@@spermchef2731 you definitely need a dr. for not reading properly 😂😂
Jonathan Modoh huh
My theory is that thing duplication process actually takes awhile before it can fully mimic the person.
First it duplicates to match physically, making the clone body. Then it learns the persons personality, and acts off that to make sure it can blend in. But the memories take longer, because it has to learn that persons ENTIRE history, which alien or not, would probably take at most a few hours, even if it only learned the important stuff.
So when at the snowmobile, it hasn't gotten to the part where he learned to work it.
Only thing is, in the second movie Blair is clearly building a space ship. So did the thing replicate the builders of the ship to, and then was able to keep that knowledge as well. So each time it replicates something it keeps the past memories as well???
I don't understand, cleaning the snow from a snowmobile seems unusual?
@@anirbanpatra3017 for a thing, yes
In the first movie it's explained the process is extremely rapid
@@gapyrodawg5181 yes. As a matter of fact during the movie you see it begin to mimic different kinds of limbs. Some look like stumps, others claws, others insect like legs, even some crab like pincers. It must be mimicking things it has come across in the past. You're actually seeing parts of different aliens. It's really cool to think about
Carter whispering: “How do you turn this thing on?”
Kate: *WHAT TF DID YOU JUST SAY?!*
Carter: o no
hum i dont know how that work but i know that the thing have all information and memory of the others assimilated, wich means, that it know how to drive that.
@@Hocketwhen he was turning it on you saw him looking around confused when the shield wiper turned on
@@theberserker930 im 99% sure the thing assimilates every information of the brain so it can more easily fit in with other creatures, like just so it can speak and move etc.
so the thing not knowing how to drive something the person it assimilated did know how to drive is a plot hole, unless the person didnt know so previously.
I love this scene. Fine acting from both sides. Underrated movie!
I've thought it was a good movie on its own. It's just hard to watch it and not compare to the 80's version. John Carpenter casts a very large shadow.
if i had the thing cornered by a flamethrower i wouldnt hesitate for a second and i wouldnt stop until the tanks were empty
and what happens when another shows up and your all out of fuel?
Imperial knight I thought that was a supply depot/base? Go fucking get another one out of the back of the truck
She wasn't completely 100% sure if it was a thing so she was a little bit hesitant But ultimately she knew
You become a Happy Meal
SO Smooth Why would it transform? She's got it cornered, and the instant he changes he gets roasted. Chances are he was having a last ditch attempt at convincing her not to fry him.
If you listen really carefully you can hear him saying "I had them both pierced I just switch and swap sometimes!"

Regardless of what people think of this as a reboot/prequel to original thing. I love this ending. I get it the first one left off on a dissonant note of uncertainty, but there’s just that revelation of Carter knowing that’s he’s pretty much screwed and Kate sadly realizing she had to take out “Carter”. Just bangs, man.
Lol it's literally a prequel 🤦🏾♂️
Proper scene:
Kate: "It was his left ear."
Thing: "oh."
Kate: "Don't move. Where did you come from?"
Thing: "I don't know. I wasn't the pilot."
(extra limb forming on the thing's back)
Kate: "Who and what are you?"
Thing: "I am That which survives."
(extra limb now fully formed with a sharp tip)
Kate: (sees the thing shift its weight)
"No. Not here." (whoosh)
(sharp extra limb misses Kate narrowly, and she blasts it again without letting up until the flamethrower is dry in a fit of overkill)
Kate: (gets into other snowcat)
(wipes away a tear, and drives off in snowcat)
After almost 2 hours (movie time) of absorbing, eating and mimicking her collegaues? The proper scene is she fries the thing without ever saying a word.
@@drg8687 Your wish was already granted on screen.
As fucked as it sounds, Carter did genuinely sound like he wanted to talk about it.
"I want to talk about it long enough to find a way I can kill you" is more like it.
The alien screaming ruined it. It would've been a more interesting scene if they just left in his regular screams because with the Thing screams you are 100% certain he's the Thing but with the regular screams you're not so certain, so you are left wondering if she killed the Thing or did she just kill her friend.
Would have been a masterful ending but unfortunately there's a fine line between masterpiece and mediocre.
Yeah, then it would actually be a plot hole if it didn't scream. I haven't actually watched the movie myself lol.
Wouldn't matter, he went for the wrong ear and looked super confused, safe to assume he was a thing with or without the earring.
There is more grey in cinema than just the simple-minded "if not masterpiece, then mediocre". This movie was good even if there weren't as many subtleties as in Carpenter's sequel.
In the original movie, bennings thing screams when it Was on fire
“‘My name isn’t Cate...it’s Kate!!! (Turns on flamethrower)”
It's GATE!
I like the idea that the person doesn’t know they are “the thing” until the thing takes over, adds a whole level of creepiness
It has fooled you then, this was not Carter anymore for a while.
To me that idea doesn't make sense. In the original the dog-thing was very obviously not behaving like a dog even though it didn't suffer any injuries that usually trigger the thing coming out. Also during the blood test the one guy that is a thing is just staring at the ground because he knows hes busted.
@@Moadar Every part of a thing is an individual, some think they're still human and others know they're not.
@@Moadar Yeah, also in that original test one guy was so scared during the test as if he'd be too stupid to know if he was a Thing or not lmao.
Tht actually how it works in some lore comics
I surprisingly liked this movie. It isn't as bad as its reputation makes it out to be and it's a respectable prequel to the 1982 film.
Probably the only part of the movie where they used practical effects
lol, I know this is a joke, but they used practical effects well during the autopsy scene with Henrik inside the alien's body.
They used practical effects throughout the entire film, but the studio in charge forced them to paint over the practical effects with CGI
No
They used practicals throughout the whole thing. The studio demanded it was covered with CGI
Jeez I hope they release the practical cut
She outsmarted that Thing
Plot twist:
He was actually human but thought he was gonna die and put the ear ring on his right earlobe because he was coming out of the closet.
Genius
@Scp 079 r/wooosh
That makes no sense.
@@SwiftyEmpire go back to reddit kid.
Scp 079 UTTP that’s why I said plot twist. Smh
I never understood the logic behind this movie. Don't get me wrong, I loved both films, but still so much of it never made any sense to me. The aliens were obviously highly intelligent, just look at the ship they came in. Yet once exposed they behaved like mindless frenzied monsters. It seemed like they either took on the personality and form of their "host" or had no personality or form at all. I would of loved to know what the original aliens who operated and traveled in that ship were really like.
This question and the answer is precisely why I liked this movie just as much as the original. This is a *prequel* mind you, so the events involving The Thing occur before the events of the 1980s masterpiece which brings us closer to the de-icing and the initial outbreak. That means the creature was still learning human thought, it was in the process of adapting to its environment. Compared to the original where it was more stealthy and experienced in how it hunted and blended in; here it was more outspoken per se, more audible with its hunting and thus gives off the "mindless frenzied" vibe because it didn't know how humans reacted or their survivability.
After the events of this prequel, the Thing learned how to blend in better, as a more experienced hunter and was able to adapt more human thinking to its own persona.
If that's true, then your comment/reply makes the most sense.
Yes it does make you wonder how some lobster looking thing with lobster like hands could make something as intricate as a spaceship. At least in the original the thing had arms and hands so it was believable , but hey its just a movie so if you enjoyed it fine.
That's actually a good point. Perhaps assuming that there was an intelligent life form but were too infected by The Thing.
berjaboy i never considered that. i always thought the Thing was the "alien owner" of the ship but it actually makes more sense to me that the ship belonges to another alien and the Thing killed it for its ship to travel to find more "prey"
if anyone wonders what happens after both the prequel and original. The Thing video game back from the early-mid 2k's is actually canon.
A shame it wasn't a very good game, would be great to do a more modern adaptation that's true to the original.
As are the comic books that tie in post The Thing (80's)
She dies right?
@@kerianhalcyon2769 even though you left this message some time ago, I have to respond it.
Imagine it as a Dead Space kind of game.
@@baymax_263 I wish we would have gotten that sy fy series of the thing years ago, the drawings of how some of the thing models would have looked in that series were absolutely amazing
Remember kids, when dispatching a dangerous, homicidal extraterrestrial, be sure to take copious pauses for dramatic effect. The creature in question _definitely_ won’t take that time to escape.
You don't get it. At all apparently
Imagine if he just lost his earring
Carter thing went for the wrong ear.
You just didn't get the point at all did you
@@allikitos who?
Erebus Anima It was a joke haha
@@themuiz the initial commenter of course.
2:00 Big Smoke: OOOHHHHHH CJ my dawwggg
Mary Elizabeth Winstead was very wise casting for an SF-horror leading lady in The Thing. 👍🏻
This scene was really cool, shows how much you cannot trust people when the thing's around
All the aliens deserve Oscars. They act so human.
I like how the imitation Carter was weirdly positive on the walk back, and that, instead of trying to reason with Kate or being afraid when caught, he got inappropriately angry instead
Carter: "I can explain!"
Kate: "..."
Carter: "The thing is..."
Kate: "So anyway, I started flaming."
Him begging and screaming as he's killed mirrors Bennings in the first film. This thing knows it's done for and can only roar in defiance.
0:25, the look she has when she doesn't see his ear ring.
It was trying to figure out how to drive, that was a smart catch
1:59 You can hear the old timey monster roar. Dragonzord in Power Rangers, I think some dinos in the first Jurassic Park movie. Easier to hear with headphones.
Well, the Thing's roar is a combination of *everything* it has assimilated. Imagine how much over 100,000 years
The thing had Kate entirely in its grasp and unaware of it at the beginning of the scene it gave its victory away
I love how people think this is a remake, it's actually a prequel to the first
Man the reason why this movie is so good either as a thriller/horror genre is because of the attention to detail that the writers and directors created to make us as the viewers really having to pay attention to. Most horror movies created are lazily put together, filled with a bunch of jump scares, and replace detail, tension & suspense with blood, goriness, killings, and bad scripting/acting. This movie was not made with lazy minds and bad acting rather it was created with awesome thought process and the psychological warfare embedded in almost every scene. I'll be honest, as a horror movie fanatic that I am, this is the first horror movie in a while that I actually felt uneasy to watch the next scene after another because after a while of watching this masterpiece's foreshadowing, it just continually keeps you on the edge of your seats. Man, what an awesome movie. And honestly, this is one of the best Prequels ever made also. To the author, director, producer, actors & actresses, music, sounds and writers..... Chukwuna "Maxwell" Osuala/Chuk D/and "Chuk Norris" I salute you guys and gals and appreciate you all doing your specific parts of the movie to make it an instant classic. SERIOUSLY, thanks guys. Appreciate all of you guys and gals for "The Thing" you do and playing your parts. Much love squad, this can probably go without saying, but..... You have a new subscriber 😉😍✅. Keep up the awesome job.
For some reason this is depressing to me.
Yeah, I ship Kate and the Carter-thing.
That is depressing...😞
If you find this kind of horror ending depressing don't watch the myst. Ever.
Quester91 true
I know because it saved her life when they got out of there!?!
Never seen the movie, but this is moving and sad. Well done.
This scene actually answers a question 29 years after the original. Who was human at the end of The Thing in 1982. Childs was human as you could see he was wearing an earring.
Exactly
Imagine if the infected victim can feel everything going on during the transformation...
Dageon Munshi they do
If you want to get technical, they aren’t even human anymore. The thing basically eats them and then shapes itself to look like its previous victim. Its completely a creature disguised as a person. It’s not like it’s just their body being used. Kinda like the T-1000 from terminator 2.
he said "during the transformation"
Now im paranoid at every single little noise that i hear every night because of this
Would have been awesome if she actually had a conversation with the thing and asked wtf its deal was
Huge missed opportunity! But I ca not imagine the thing would answer her questions. It only ever seems interested in infecting other people
Any convo it has is for survival. Remember blair in the original? “Im much better now, i wont harm anyone, watch clark” all self serving BS. Its not looking to make friends.
It’s kinda funny how the Carter-Thing was begging for mercy when it could have easily ran out of the vehicle, the door on the other side of the snowmobile wasn’t even closed
I think it's in the novelization; the alien turns out to not be truly evil but a creature that is lonely and wants to be close to other beings, but all it knows is assimilation.
That roar was terrifying! 😨
Tell me about it. At first i thought that he was human, until it screeches that made me a little jumpy.
She have good choice
Bennings thing's(from John Carpenter version) scream is worse
Yeah I guess you're right
One of the best things about the internet is you always learn something new thanks to the insight of other people. i never noticed that "the Thing" was trying to figure out how to operate the snow mobile, i can't believe that went over my head every time i rewatched it.
It's kind of cute seeing The Thing learning how to work the snow mobile.
Lmao, atleast he tries not like the other people's laziness 😂
This was unfortunately the best part of the prequel. Just how horrifying it is that anyone can be a Thing.
Evil Gopher The scariest part is that the brain remains human, so they genuinely don't know they're assimilated until it's too late. They lose control but still have the driver's seat.
Marcell2aG seriously like how Juliette seemed so normal but then she was slowly become overcome by the Alien
the brain is an imitation as well... the host is already dead, its just a perfect imitation
@@vargaa86 As to how a person on reddit puts it
"Most likely you don't even notice that it has happened until your flesh starts crawling. It's perfectly replicating the chemistry and behavior of your own nervous system, and eventually it's thinking your thoughts the same way you would. As far as it knows, your conscious thoughts are a necessary part of you that it needs to mimic, and it will keep your neurons running until it decides to shapeshift into something else."
Essentially you wouldn't know where your thoughts ended and the Things thoughts began
That's how it survives.
You know what I've been wondering? Can The Thing replicate tattoos? It's your skin and all that but it's ink being put into your skin that changes it's pigmentation. Like if someone had a sleeve and then got Thing-ified, would the copy just have bare skin?
Tattoos were no fashionable in 1982. Tooth decay was.
@@cyberprimate Tooth decay? Like no one gets fillings anymore. Lol. We haven't advanced that much since the 80s with brushing our teeth boss
@@el34glo59fillings nowadys aren't made of metal amalgam, but composite, which is composed of resin and other ORGANIC materials. Plus they cannot be seen because of the same color of teeth.
I love how it just drops the act at the end when it knows it's screwed lol
Yeah, doesn't even try to lie because it knows there is no way to save itself after that lol
1:37 i think he was trying to open the door but didnt know how to and after that the thing knew he is fcked up
Hey at least he had the windshield wipers on. Just in case.
I LOVE THIS ENDING.
its 2021 and i still watching this
Elizabeth is such a great actor.
Thought the Thing had people's memories wouldn't it remember which ear it was on?
BHowardify
Actually it is shown a few times that the thing retains the memories of what it assimilates.
1.) It knew where the blood was stored. Because of this, it managed to tamper with the bags so there could be no tests done.
2.) The Thing was able to build a UFO and a anti-gravity mechanism while it was posing as Doc.
3.) It knew how to operate the UFO that was covered in ice.
It wouldn't have been able to do these things if it hadn't retained the memories. The reason it can maintain memories of it's victims is never made clear, but it's said that it creates perfect imitations of it's victims.
I would imagine it is a case where the Thing has access to knowledge, but specific and personal memories are muddled, like earrings, combinations, how to drive specific vehicles. The Thing probably doesn’t consider them initially to be useful and doesn’t focus on them until a situation for them is needed(which is why he looks so confused at the snowmobile as if he’s trying to remember how it worked)
Well it's not that crazy. It's a very specific detail to remember along with everything else, and it might take time to process all the memories of a new body. The Thing is an extremely complicated beast, there's a lot that can go wrong lol
@@DrGandW Would probably need to ask the directors to get their canon response, as the Thing copies their mannerisms quite well, is it due to certain memory transfer or did they just watch the victim beforehand to understand how they act. Or does it gain basic recent memories and then quickly adapts to the situation it's put in using those. Like in the Carpenter's Thing like 12227UserName said it knew where the blood was kept, was that because he put it in there recently so knew but what if that Thing ever went back to civilisation would it know exactly where stuff the Doc put around his own house would be since was a far longer length of time. And if it could do that then can it remember things the human host forgot them self but it's stuck in their brain memory. E.f pretend I forgot where I put my housekeys but subconsciously I remember putting them down on a table then the Thing turned into me, would it know I put the keys there if I myself had forgotten? Or does it transfer/copy zero memories over at all and it's just super good at adapting to situations.
Thing memories in such detail is Imperfect. It was shown with Girl Thing and keys number
I always thought she caught on because of the way he was trying to maneuver the flame thrower in the cat sled. But it was the ear ring that got em. Awesome stuff
It's strange because in the book the person infected by the thing doesn't even know they are infected until the thing feels threatened and takes control. I'm pretty sure at one point in the book the infected person even has a conversation in their head with it after they figured out they were infected.
It's not an infection, the alien replace the victim.
@@Daniel-Rain-YT With the victims memories intact and with no knowledge that they have become the creature. There was a part in the book where the remaining human consciousness tried to communicate with the creature that was controlling it.
@@AlcatrazIsland5 👍
Scary.
1:57
[Subtitles on] "streaming comes to and end"
Noooooope, it still screaming quite a bit.
An thing that I think could have been interesting to see it for the Thing to try multiple survival strategies at once. Because that's basically all it's trying to do, guarantee it's survival. As such, one could be continuously outright hostile, using its shapeshifting ability entirely offensively. Another instance could try to kill with more nefarious means, the classic Thing, basically. A third instance could try being cooperative with humans, to varying degrees depending on how many instances it used. One could even try being entirely stealthy, doing it's best to remain undetected in any way (say by disguising itself as a mostly inert thin layer of skin on a person). The amount of instances could be based on available biomass.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is quite an actress. Her performance in The Thing, Final Destination 3, Smashed & 10 Cloverfield Lane is remarkable. She is beautiful as well. 😍 Sadly, she doesn't get much recognition & resources that she deserves. Hopefully Bird of Prey will help to boost her career.
Dude went out in flame.
