Who would win in the Blob vs The Thing

The Blob could absorb the thing in seconds, but The Thing is smarter. It's all a matter of how cold the area is.
Jace Cook
Why is Blob ‘88 unambiguously superior to the original film?
Not gonna lie the Blob was the single monster that scared me the most as a child

Couldn’t the Thing just replicate the Blob? I’ve forgotten what the Blob even was.
Carson Butler
Just looks like any other chink. The insectoids are creepy looking though, I'll give you that.

Ohhhh shit nigger. Fucking amazing question to be honest. Unfortunately the flesh mass from the Thing didn't fare too well in inhospitable climates, which depending on the time of the year could be the entire fucking country. I don't recall seeing the blob run into any environmental issues, but I'm also having a hard time remembering how they even defeated the blob. Both species play the long con, with flesh mass literally willing to wait however long it takes and with blob's actual physical speed: neither are in a hurry to get to you. One has to wonder though, is the blob more cool under pressure or would it be a spastic freak as well if given the ability to form physical threatening shapes like the thing could. Is the blob only slow because it has no other means to speed itself up, or is it merely just going with the flow, sure of the inevitable?
I wanna go with the thing. It seems like it has more of a fight or flight response, it seems to have the will to want to live and procreate where as the blob, I think is just existing. I'm not sure if blob has any need to exist, I think it's almost like a living mudslide where we just happen to be getting caught in it's way.

It all rides om wether the Blob has a cellular structure or if it's just a magically cognitive mass of acidic chemicals. If it's got cells The Thing wins pretty much instantly. If it's pure chemicals, the Thing still has a fighting chance, since it can outsmart the Blob in the way I'm assuming humans did in the movie.

The zombie things from I Am Legend had me scared of the dark for months after watching it. Granted I saw it in theaters when I was like 8 and it probably wouldn't have the same effect now. But I was around that age where you stop being afraid of the dark and this flick turned me right back into a whimpering sissy.

It’s even less scary when you realize they’re just cancer vampires.
Isaiah Turner
Kind of cute from that angle

In the original 1958 movie it was some sort of alien, but in the gorier 1988 remake it was some sort of bacteria or other microorganism that the US Army created as a bioweapon kept in orbit that crashed to earth
In both versions the Blob is defeated by extreme cold; it can’t die but it can be frozen, and it can be driven off with fire extinguishers and liquid nitrogen and the like
The Thing can also be frozen and survive, but unlike the Blob it’s extremely susceptible to heat
As for speed, in the original the Blob was pretty much a slow mass, but the remake it was more of a predator capable of great speed and ambush tactics (at one point it eats a chick from the inside out and then waits inside her body for her boyfriend to grope her, at which point it bursts out)
My guess is the Thing has the advantage, but the Blob’s acid is enough of an effective counter I’d think the Thing would have to be sneaky about subduing it

Well I'm just throwing out a hypothesis here, it seems they didn't chase any popular ideas or trends when remaking the flick aside from update it for the 80s.
Gabriel Perry
I accept your apology.
Blake Powell
I like the idea of it being both. An alien micro-bacterial organism the military was experimenting on in space for their bio division.
Camden Barnes
Captain Howdy will eat your scary and laugh.

Which Blob film is best? I feel like watching it

What a horrible way to die.

Blake Stewart
Most overpowered villain in cinematic history. She can literally travel herself and you forwards and backwards in time at will. She can also cheat and also literally teleport you into the house, even if you're not infected with the curse.
Carson Myers
IIRC that’s actually what happened in the novelization for the 1988 Blob movie
Xavier Walker
The thing is the most scary to me.
