OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
when the fuck did Norris get infected
>i have become john carpenters the thing
was that really necessary?
Literally walked out of the theater
I always thought his turning happened during the time Dog thing was still wandering around the base before being put into the kennel, same with Palmer.
>I always thought his turning happened during the time Dog thing was still wandering around the base before being put into the kennel
That couldn't be the case because Clark was with the dog the whole time
Blair says
>Watch Clark. I said, watch Clark.
Also, Blair inquires where the dog was before being put in the kennel, to which Clark tells him
>with me
Dr. Blair : Clark?
Clark : Yeah?
Dr. Blair : Did you notice anything strange about the dog? Anything at all?
Clark : Strange? No.
Dr. Blair : What was the dog doing in the rec room?
Clark : I don't know. It's just wondering around camp all day.
Dr. Blair : Are you sayin' to me the dog wasn't put in the kennel until last night?
Clark : Right.
Dr. Blair : How long were you alone with that dog?
Clark : I don't know. An hour... hour-and-a-half maybe. What the hell you looking at me like that for?
Dr. Blair : [pause; now nervous] I don't know.
Clark : What?
Dr. Blair : I don't know. It's probably nothing. It's nothing at all.
CHINESE FIREBALL
Why didn't the Thing assimilate Clark?
It was palmer or norris that were infected since there's a scene with the dog entering a room with a shadow, clark wasn't watching it until they found out the dog thing
Maybe it was getting a lay of the land first, figuring things out a little.
he raped the dog
The figure (seen as a shadow) is really too thin to be Norris, it has to be Palmer.
I really have no idea when the fuck Norris got infected.
>shitty twitter meme
Was that really necessary?
When he was alone with Palmer when Childs was in another room while Nauls and Macready were investigating the shack, right before Nauls came back trying to betray Mac. Norris' heart attack was brought about by the rapid replacement of his biomass with The Thing's that he was unaware of when Palmer gave him a wet willy to transmit Thing cells to him.
> T.
I believe that Norris was the guy in the room when the dog went in. Other anons disagree and this is a hot topic.
The film strongly suggests that the two guys were taken at different times well apart from each other. the first curly-haired guy is taken when the doggo walks in in the first act. The second guy is taken en passant when Mac observes that a second pair of long johns (like the one found earlier) was found some time later once they hunkered in.
A very reasonable reply. Doing your Thing (tm) is a time-investment and carries risk.
God this is honestly my favorite movie it’s almost flawless. My ONLY complaint is that I wish there was just 15-20 more minutes of paranoia between the crew then it’d be perfect
How exactly does the Thing infect and replicate if it's able to live on as basically a single cell organism but also needs to morph and infect others by force
Word of god states it's Palmer, and it makes sense because Palmer is actively sabotaging and second-guessing the efforts of the group at every corner from that point onward until he bursts, and has many many appearances when he's just on his own not in contact with another character. The shredded long john's also match Palmer's clothing.
Norris meanwhile has no opportunity to be infected except the few occasions when he's alone with Palmer.
you posted the exact same thing a couple of days ago.
that part confuses me too, either the thing just fucking rips you apart when it has a chance or you're just fucked from the beginning, are the flamethrower and explosives even effective?
Wtf happened to Fuchs? Do we really believe he an heroed?
>it’s almost flawless
lol the delusion is real
kek
elden ring
And I’m gonna continue to post it nigger. I’m glad you noticed it though
This the thing could had infect the entire crew with a single cell if it did it subtle and cleverly, also why didn't the thing try to communicate but instead just decided to fuck everybody up and kill
Because they crew started to catch on. You can’t really fully assimilate them if everyone’s starting to develop a way to find out who’s infected and who’s not
