Yes. Why would he run off alone if he supposedly saw Blair? Shouldn't he have just gone to tell the others?
>>
>>63481269
Its whatever you think.

At one point Carpenter said yes his belief was that Childs was infected then the DH The Thing comics came out that were a direct sequel to the Carpenter movie where Childs wasn't infected at first but only later with more run ins with the Thing was he infected and Carpenter actually liked em enough to say he considered them canon sequel to his movie.
>>
>>63481400
out of all the characters in the movie Childs would easily be the most likely to chase off after an infected by himself

Could the Thing infect Robocop?

If it did kill another thing it would be to cut its losses, and be better able to hide among the remaining humans.

No, Childs wasn't infected.

he could've easily torched McReady with his flamethrower and remove the last threat left to him. With McReady dead he could've then gone into hibernation and wait to be found once the rescue team arrived. He didn't - which leads me to believe that he wasn't the Thing.
>>
>>63481382
>>63481578

This sorta happened in the prequel. One thing tried to blame shift onto another thing to draw attention away from itself.

It seems like there might not actually be any sort of loyalty between multiple things? Or that it just basically resorts to survival of the fittest mode, in that one thing will definitely turn on another one in order to survive.

>>63481269
No, he still had his earring at the end.

Childs was infected.
McReady was infected.
Neither of them were infected.
And both of them were.

It's simple really. The movie kind of tells you that he isn't and MacReady is when he offers him the bottle of booze. Better to infect him without a fight right? Or maybe it's the other way around?

A better question: do the perfect copies the thing makes know that they are things? Maybe transforming and attacking is just an instinct.

>>63483556
They don't know.
They transform when they are threatened.

this is true. the same way it couldn't control its blood from reacting to the hot wire. every piece of it is its own living thing.

If both Childs AND Macready were infected they would probably not have chatted and drank.

If only one of them was infected, then there would have been an instant fight, We know the The thing likes to take it's victims 1 on 1, unless it's cornered.

If neither of them was infected, they would of stared at each other all suspicious and been incredibly wary.

So neither of them was infected.

Mac doesn't drink from the bottle, though. That's why some people think it's gasoline.

It knows what it is and it's smart. It's a fucking alien m8. It was building another space ship so I'm pretty sure it knew who it really was and what it was doing.

McReady loses to the chess computer and pours alcohol into it. It burns up.

>obvious foreshadowing is obvious

also in the script McReady torched him. Carpenter, like all good directors, decided to leave it open to audience interpretation and although I respect your interpretation if you say otherwise you are pic related.
>>
>>63484398
It's a great fucking companion piece to the original, and the only reason you hate it is muh cgi. Fuck off retard.
>>
>>63484428
You mean, just like he threw a lit stick of dynamite into final boss-thing's maw while shouting "WELL FUCK YOU TOO!"?
>>
>>63484428
Alcohol is harmful, at least for humans. Who knows if it is for the thing, but if it was, and Childs was infected, "it" wouldn't have accepted the drink from Mcready
>>
>>63483940
I dunno. We've never seen two things alone with each other. They might just act out or let the personalities of their duplicates take over, from a behavioral perspective, until one of them is in danger.

As I sorta mentioned here
>>63482155
They will probably just act normal until one is in danger, and they would each off the other if it meant personal survival.

But honestly,

>tfw mcready thing's giggle at the end is a celebratory laughter with child's thing, as if to say, drink up, we won bro

>>
>>63484682
I really doubt Mcready was a Thing. You never see anything which would hint his transformation, and if there was any those would be negated by the showdown with the big Thing.
Childs has changed coats though fám, which implies his old one was torn, which implies he was infected.
>>
I explain this too many fucking times. Yes he was and its literally shown in the fucking movie. Watch it again and focus you fucking normie cunt.

The Playstation game is canon, his body was found and no he wasn't infected.

Just got done watching it a few hours ago

It is intentionally ambiguous

You could say you're certain about MacCready, but then there's time where we don't see him between when he blows up the base and when he appears in the snow afterward

>It's said to be canon
Why, because they paid Carpenter or someone else to say "YES THIS IS CANON IT'S GREAT IS IS PART OF THIS LORE AND IS VERY GOOD GO BUY IT!"? I highly doubt Carpenter really wanted a cool, ambiguous ending to be ruined forever by a shitty video game that tells us Mac survived for a long time by himself in the ruins of the base in sub-zero temperatures with no food, heat or shelter and was in good enough condition to pop up at the end to give the game's protagonist a lift in a helicopter.

Not him but:

1. Before Childs walks out of the camp, there is a shot where the camera pans to the basement and then to the door where Childs was waiting. This would imply that something came from the basement and something happened near the door, since it was open.
2. Why the fuck would Childs walk out into the blizzard? Obviously he wanted to freeze.

>mfw I only got to rent the game for a few days and got stuck on the boss that was in the ceiling and had to return it before I could beat it. I play games on the hardest difficulty with the HUD turned off, anything to make it as hard as possible because most games are way too easy. I never even figured out how to hurt that boss. I didn't even know where to go to dodge its attacks. It just kept killing me.

>Scene 1

MacReady, Nauls and Garry are going to check if Doc is infected and in that time Childs stay in the main building. Keep on mind that camera show that Childs stand in the door watching the other people.

>Scene 2
There is no Doc there and from how his basement looks we can claim that he is infected. In the same fucking moment camera is showing that main building where Childs is not standing in the door and then camera stop for a moment showing door where power generator is. So Doc-Thing infected Childs and go to power generator.

>Scene 3
Macready and others notice that Childs run from main building. He later in last scene said that he was running afer Doc. What realy happend is that infected Childs run to hide somewhere to give Thing bigger chance to survive.

>Scene 4
Second after that scene someone broke power generator. If a fuckin Childs was chasing infected Doc who broke generator. Only 5 fucking people was living in that part of the movie so there was no one in the building. Whats really happend that infected doc fucked up power gen.

Sorry for my english.
