What was up with the noose? Was he going to hang himself before he got assimilated?
No he was going to hang the thing before it assimilated him.
Most likely, yes.
No the Thing was going to hang him before he assimilated it.
cellar man from night of the living dead
Blair was already assimilated and wanted the rest of the crew to think that he's suicidal so they'd let him out
No Blair was using the rope as a TRX band before the thing assimilated him.
I'll do you one better.
no he was suicidal before the assimilation but the thing didnt understand the significance of the noose so macready knew he was turned when he said he was fine with the noose behind him
I'll do you one better.
Bullshit. He was really cold so he fashioned a rope scarf, but he spilled some water on it so he hung it up to dry. This was right before MacReady poured gasoline into his bottle of scotch, of course.
That's actually pretty sinister, damn.
Reminder that Childs isn't the Thing and Nauls wasn't assimilated when MacReady blew everything up.
Nah it was a makeshift trap see he'd use the food to lure the Thing in his room then when it gets caught in the rope he expertly placed he'd throw his jacket on top of it and beat it with his shoes and after he killed it he'd peel out like a mad man in his expertly built escape ship
no the thing didnt want to assimilate his crusty ass so just made a noose so hed khs while he worked on his thing saucer. when maccready came by he was so embarassed he didnt say anything
No he tried scoring mercy points with mcgayle
No you fools. He tried making a lasso to rope the Thing but he fucked up and ended up making a noose. After hours of exhausting work trying to figure out how to tie the damn knot he accidentally created a flying saucer which everyone else mistook for the alien's escape ship.
This is perfect but probably too subtle
We dont know that childs isnt the thing
and who cares for Nauls he was a nigger
But it absorbs all the knowledge of the person and copies them perfectly. The only way it didn't know what a noose was, was if Blair didn't, which ties in perfectly with my theory
>We dont know that childs isnt the thing
The only hint that he might have been one is that he ran out of the building during the power outage and that he didn't give a shit enough about the bottle of scotch being infected to drink straight from it.
It's been shot down by Kurt Russell, he froze to death as a human in the PS2 game, he survived as a human in the comics (until he later got assimilated while blowing up a submarine), and in the cancelled Sci-Fi series he and MacReady's frozen bodies were going to be discovered as humans. Plus the prequel shows that it can't copy metal, so his earring and fillings shouldn't have been there.
What if the Thing is just some fucking alien trying to go home? Spends God knows how long trying to build that ship only to come back and find out some spergs blew it up
