The Thing 1982

To clarify :
Wait out winter as a doggo with the other doggos in kennel at station

>It knows nothing about our planet or us.
Sure knows enough about space travel and physics though.

The Thing didn't want to go back to civilization, it was building another spaceship to get the fuck away from earth and all the crazy apes trying to kill it.

>Its an Alien. It knows nothing about our planet or us. It doesnt even know if there is a civilization to get back to.

but it had assimilated some Norwegians at that point , no ?!?

>Wait out winter as a doggo
Yeah man, just chill for a while
>The average annual temperature ranges from about −10°C on the Antarctic coast to −60°C at the highest parts of the interior. Near the coast the temperature can exceed +10°C at times in summer and fall to below −40°C in winter. Over the elevated inland, it can rise to about −30°C in summer but fall below −80°C in winter. The lowest temperature yet recorded on the Earth’s surface was −89.2°C at Vostok station on 21 July 1983.

its pretty smart , it built a space, ship and everything

For all we know it was some super aids. Not the actual alien

in the kennels with the other doggos

oh you saw it build it? I didn't see that part.
Don't talk out of your ass user. They were a plague that infected each planet they went to and took things from them. It's implied it's not their space ship which is why they crashed.

you realize Baby Driver was a parody right?

checks out it was only 13% of the population of the station yet committed most of the murders

You really believe that fucking Edgar Wright decided to parody a literally who directors (Refn) best film (DRIVE)

Did you all just miss the point that the dogs blew it's cover and transformed as a response to their agression having already infecting Bennings anyway?

it tried to unsuccessfully build a new ship with scrap parts from a toolshed lol.

From what we can tell. the creature just can't help itself from assimilating living beings. It's not particularly smart, it just does what it does.

>Tried
Youre implying it's so smart it could but now you're saying it tried (which implies failure can happen) so you don't know what the fuck youre talking about.

i mean, it got pretty far with the available tools. This is antartica research station not MIT

also the other dogs started to freak out when it was put in the kennel right?

A Thing gotta do Thing things, you know?
Probaly a bio urge to procreate that can't be stop.
Or eating organisms is like food and creating a duplica is only a part of the whole process?

I don't remember the reason in the novella though. It's been too long since I read it.

>wait out the winter

How long would you have to wait in Antarctica?

If the Thing is so smart then whats its tax policy?

I don't think The Thing really had foresight like that. It ran purely on instinct and even that could only take it so far before blowing its cover. Plus apparently it was trapped in ice for like a million years, I'd be restless too

yeah, i'm sure it operated that massive space ship on pure instinct

It's a parasite that depends on a host to survive. Sound familiar?

According to the prequel, it was a passenger, not the pilot.

Me with my family?

Right right, they blew up its cover and it obviously panicked and started murdering everyone.

The other doggos only started barking when ithe thing started attacking them

turns out it was 2% pibble

The dogs found him out.

Because you missed the part where all the alien wanted to do was build a space ship and fly away. Those humans ruined that and they’re the true villains for trapping poor the Thing in an icy wasteland

Well according to the movie, it's smart enough to try and build a spaceship by itself.

this chick does porn btw

This poster is a THING

Yet it was building its own ship

blowing niggers on snapchat is hardly porn

Wasn't it a prisoner or something on that ship, not the actual pilot?
Or was that some bullshit the prequel made up?

>According to the prequel
Now what did we say about mentioning that pile of shit, user?

she says she only likes niggers as well, disgusting

eh that's enough for me really

How do we know the Thing wasn't just some """dude""" trying to go home and us humans kept fucking him over?

Well, for being such a wholesome, chill guy it sure murdered a lot of people for no reason.

>/tv

I fucking hate you faggot ass reddit boomers.

It didn't fly there. The reason the ship crashed was because The Thing got loose from the holding pens or whatever.

I always took the fact the ship crashed as a sign that The Thing killed the crew

How did you figure?

>an extra was used for the shadow
get fucked that is clearly norris, the hair, the fat face, the turtleneck...

>its always winter in Antarctica
>the Thing would have no reason to think the dog would ever be taken away
>as a human, it could arrange transportation faster
>it likely was also driven by a need to replace them all

it's their nature to assimilate. couldn't help it.

because it ate a guy that knew how to build one

Is this movie watchable for a first time watch in 2019?

Yes

What the fuck kind of question is that?

well its old as fuck and some old movies are too jank for 2019

Why are you even on this board?

>Haven't watched 10 movies out of the top 100 of all time
Yeah I should go to r/movies.

Watch the movie.

A parody of Drive? No it wasn’t. Also: Drive is heavily based on a 1978 movie called The Driver.

has to be a troll zoomer

>old as fuck
>80s
>still the best practical effects in any movie

How fucking young are you?

Why didn't the first guy to be assimilated kill the husky immediately? The dog Thing had no chill, but the human Thing clearly knew how to pass for as long as needed

>Haven't watched 22 out of the top 100 in this pic

I know i'm not

Oh shit time to find out

I'm pretty sure it was implied the thing killed whoever built and flew that spaceship

I assume the Thing was driven by a need to convert or absorb as much biomass as possible, hence why it was trying to convert all the dogs early on. The more beings it converts, the quicker it can spread, the more biomass it can control and so on. Hence it wouldnt make any sense to kill the dog Thing, as they have a higher chance of converting others the more Things there are.

Obviously when the humans figured out how the Thing worked and started getting paranoid it had to change its tactics from spreading to survival, trying to remain undetected. Hence why early on you see a number of conversions, but later on people who didnt show any prior signs of being Things turned out to be Things.

check it

He's talking about THIS spaceship.

ah fug

but it was on a space ship. unless it wasnt the one flying the ship

Are you serious? Even if the movie was dated, which it really isn't, you could at least appreciate the craftsmanship. Unpleb yourself immediately. Go watch The Thing.

Because it isn't thinking like a person, it's thinking like an ayy. Not to mention how long it's been dormant. You know what it's like when you've just woke up, you do stupid things without thinking them through. Some of us when we wake up are a real grumpy Gus too, maybe they were like that.

Boy I sure love being human.

dogs arent allowed on the plane. The only way to really get on is to be a human. He couldnt just wait until then because then there would be more humans presumably. So he needs to be human. The real question is why didnt he just assimilate one guy and leave it at that.

because the Thing was dumb as fuck, other then the spaceship knowledge
it was probably just a recon focused organical robot of some more advanced sentient rance, the thing probably wasnt even sentient, it was just a tool

You mean the humans dont get to bring friends?

Fuck you I'm the thing.

what breed is this? it's not a siberian husky is it?

It is

Wolf/malamute mix. His name was Jed.

anyone wants a handshake?

Thank god everyone safe!

what makes you think the alien's sole purpose is to control the entire world? he was only trying to survive by fucking with these people

ayo frend have some schmakos

The Thing knew the dangers of headpats and how addictive they are. Not to mention the question that completely overshadows "What doth life?", the ultimate question "Who's a good boy?". Those two turned ruthless hunters into docile slaves.

this was almost a good mechanic in the game, except where you tested a teammate, he came back negative, then progressed one step into the next area and he turned into a thing

jesus that looks bad. are they standing in front of a picture or movie screen or something?
the guy with the binocs, is he looking at a distant mountain range or something?

it was surprisingly good

Yes, but make sure you watch it before the 2011 The Thing. I watched the new one first and now I prefer it to the old, despite everyone on this board insisting the original is best.

Stop fooling around with this test, I know I'm not the thing.

Matte painting and fuck you.

I have a tendency to get dubs in times of need.

Because he was tagged by the last Norwegian survivors...hence the beginning of the movie you retard

This is silly, of course none of us here would be the thing

it looks real bad. it basically ruins the scene as well as the movie

I reject you hypothesis

The thing wasn’t the pilot.
The thing ATE the pilot.
It’s an adaptive beast that escaped and crashed the plane.

Guys we need to stop accusing each other or we're all gonna die.

I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKNG THREAD!

Can we stop dubs checking once and for all it was never funny

Sounds like porn

>−89.2°C
fucking hell.

In my lab we have many -80°C freezers, and even just a piece of plastic at that temperature will give you frostburns.

It's an unfathomable temperature

I'm 100% human, you can all trust me.

Watch Sp00nys review of it, its the best one and it was during his prime. Its janky, but also fucking hilarious. Its really corny in a good way.

I hate that hook-nosed moron but i want to know more about the game

How cold is liquid nitrogen and what would happen if you were forced to drink it, like a pint of it or something? Would your heart and lungs immediately freeze and make you kill?

youtube.com/watch?v=NP71Ts6_Gx0

Oh yeah like this'll work. It's a waist of time

Like I said, it was his prime, its actually good.

This whole thing didn't really go as planned, did it?

>awaits flame thrower

Was being the thing part of the plan?

What the fuck, so how did it freeze the T1000 and why do you have to wear gloves to handle it? Is this some kind of trick, like when the Poos drinking molten lead and shit?

Guys this is silly can't we just stop? It's clear by now that no one here is one of those things

>How cold is liquid nitrogen and what would happen if you were forced to drink it

>Liquid nitrogen has an extraordinarily low boiling point of -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and quickly boils at room temperature
youtube.com/watch?v=xkWAfns6law

That's what the Thing would say!

The thing retains the memories of those it consumes. It could build a garbage spaceship because it took over a crew of a star ship.

looks lads I'm not the thing. please untie me.

“Cool... I now know how to pickle some herring and be normalise autism... Now how the fuck do I survive out here?”

They put the alien dog in with the other dogs, the other dogs instantly know the dog is not one of them, now the alien can either assimilate the dogs to keep them quiet or if it doesn't then the humans get suspicious why all the other dogs are growling at this one dog then try to examine it only to find its not a real dog.

What a great thread , thanks fro the feedback guys. Love Yea Forums !

who am i

So that Bruce in the other video was doing a variation of the old molten lead trick. Funnily enough the story it mentions in that video is exactly what made me question it in the first place.

Yeah, drinking liquid nitrogen is not the best of ideas.

He dindu nuffin

Ok can i go now?

someTHINGs wrong here

So can I get a name, please?

Its a good thing that there are no things in this thread!

I regularly work with liquid nitrogen in my lab, and I can guarantee you that either put a MINUTE amount of liquid nitrogen in his mouth, or it wasn't that at all.

The leidenfrost effect only helps you so much before your tongue turns into a popsicle.

I would say that 1ml of liquid N2 is already enough to give severe burns in all of your mouth.

I think you meant "Yea Forums BTFO" you worthless fucking newfag

have sex

Thank you, Anonbro.

wait a got damn menut

Where might I acquire some to play with?

It had knowledge from the pilot retard

Who are you planning to murder user

Nowhere does it imply or state it was a beast that escaped as you said, that's where your headcanon part comes into place retard

Watch the prequel. Everyone in this thread arent pulling it out of their ass. Keep up

Alright calm down everybody. No need for dramatics!

I bet you say "pupper" and "birb" as well, you fucking plebit faggot.

All doggos are puppers. Prove me wrong.

no idea man. We've got a 500L tank that is refilled every few months.

The other dogs knew there was something up with it from the second it arrived

At first the other dogs are quiet. They're just resting. Some look at the new dog. There's no weird response. It all starts when the thing dog starts breathing very strangely. Only then the dogs sense something's wrong.

This, stop thinking bro, it’s not Star Wars
