Why doesn't the Thing assimilate black people?

Neither of the Thing movies I've seen had the black dudes ever get assimilated by the thing. Makes you think does it?

I guess you could say that they weren't his thing......

1. Offtopic
2. The first movie the skinny black dude does get assimilated when they are trying to detonate the dynamite in the basement.

Even (((parasites))) have standards.

Because all black dudes have the shine dumbass

But it did

The whole point of the ending is we don't know whether Childs, MacCready, both, or neither have been assimilated by The Thing.

1st movie: the Thing didnt assimilate anyone/ It just tried to beat the crap out of them

Childs was the Thing at the end of the first film.

I thought that was left ambiguous.

Because people never relax around blacks.

What's the symbolism behind the shiny-faced man in the poster? There's nothing like that in the film.

Looks like someone hasn't seen and read multiple analyses of the entire film down to the position of character's hands and the exact condition of their coats and a reference point of a scale map of the antarctic compound to figure out if someone was the Thing at the end of the movie.

You fool.

But the thing DID assimilate Childs...

how was it?

dont lie

Aliens are smart enough to know they wouldn't want to spend one minute inside a nigger.

Unless we see Childs blow up into a squid monster, we don't know for sure.

What is it?
You don't know.
No one does.

>read
>Not writing multiple analyzes of the film
Pleb deetected

>Neither of the Thing movies
There is only one Thing movie. Just like there is only one Alien movie.

It is, but some guy on jewtube broke it down.
1. Childs was missing for the last scenes of the movie until its just him and Macready.
2.one of the last things Mac was doing at the end was making Molotov cocktails. It's been suggested that's what he gives to Childs, who proceeds to drink it without noticing its not alcohol.
3. Childs has no visible breathe at sub zero degree temperatures.
And of course that little smile Macready gives at the end when he knows Childs is the Thing.
Sequel when?

Oh right, the most obvious sign is that Childs breath barely fogs for the entire final scene, while Macready's is billowing all over the place.

He literally stole the doctor's jacket.

You will notice that when a character wasn't in their normal clothes, the thing assimilated

This. I'm a huge Keith David fan and I didn't want to believe he was a Thing, but after pages of reading autism due to my autism, I am forced to admit he was.

Fuck you, Aliens was kino

Child's is the Thing. It's why Kurt Russel hands him the alcohol, it's a reference to the chess scene

Dude that's deep.

Would you care for an escort?

We don't know if Childs was assimilated, and if you actually watched the movie you'd know there was another black character who did get assimilated.

Fucking idiot.

The 2011 remake was fine. Not great, and the studio fucked the director over and redid everything with CGI, but there were a lot of clever little things in it.

Also it had MEW at her cutest.

Because the Thing only.takes the form of sentient creatures. Humans, dogs etc.

If you're autistic enough you can find enough "concrete evidence" in any piece of media to support any claim. Doesn't make the theory right.

Just look at The Shining - there's so many bullshit theories about the "secret meanings" of the film that there are now entire movies *about* all the bullshit theories.

Both could talk normally, neither were Thing

The only other black guy was Nauls, and we never see what happens to him after they all split up to hunt the Thing.

But it's revealed that one of them isn't breathing if you watch closely.

>The only other black guy was Nauls, and we never see what happens to him after they all split up to hunt the Thing.

He obviously gets assimilated.

The Thing won. It's Keith David at the end.

They Live is the defacto sequel, with the Thing having spread across the world into human society.

Escape from New York is the dystopia left years after They Live

It did, but got arrested for stealing Kurt Russell's bike.

no, it's revealed they are both breathing if you look closely

The only black dude in the movie is the thing at the end, the flask had gasoline in it and Kurt Russel smiled because he knew that.

The Blair-Thing was also breathing in his shed.

How many black scientists are there in 1980s antarctica

Don't get me wrong, I really like Aliens, but it was something completely different from the first movie.

How many black scientists are there period?

>Scientist

Not everyone in the movie or even in real Antarctic research stations is a scientist.

It's because of our superior melanated jeans. You mad white boi?

>Beginning of film, MacReady loses a game of chess, gives his computer a "drink"
>They know even a single cell from The Thing can infect you
>Gives Childs a drink, which he consumes without hesitation
>MacReady starts laughing because Childs is either dumb as shit or already fully consumed

We know the black guy is the thing because he drinks from the flask which was previously filled with gasoline and doesn't react.

> mfw I acknowledge this

What makes you think Childs wasnt the thing?

So the Thing can mimic the entire being of a human but can't tell the difference between alcohol and gasoline?

No.

hmmm I like that

The Things make a few mistakes during the film and also do odd or irrational actions too.
A lot of the time they don't seem to be reallt pre-planning. I'd argue it's more of a Predator Mimic situation than a mind takeover.

mmmm Mary Elizabeth

macready lived

Another argument is..

Childs still had his flame thrower at the end scene. If he were the thing,why not torch Mac?

mmm yes,she's yummy. But that movie sucked.

Maybe a few, but he was intelligent enough as the fat guy to turn down a leadership role for the group, but I guess that sort of goes to your point and suggests he knew he would slip up given the chance.

Who was the person in the room when the dog-thing was wandering the halls?

Because even aliens have tastebuds

The last black guy alive was literally the thing. Are you fucking retarded, OP?

There is another black guy. He is the cook.

The silhouette looked like either Windows or Palmer

I know people on Sup Forums don't consider black people as humans but as things but is Childs The THING, or a thing?

No, the truth is they were both Things.

The real kick at the end of the movie is that The Thing was just as selfish and paranoid as humanity and would gladly destroy itself just on the basis that someone else might be uninfected.

Did you literally not watch The Thing?
Childs was clearly the thing at the end of the movie. Earlier the crew had clearly decided not to drink or eat anything that wasn't sealed, and at the end of the movie Childs accepts whiskey from Mac that has already been opened, furthermore Childs was unaccounted for some time directly before this.

And what does race have to do with anything here?

Child's was the Thing at the end.

Pls no sequel. Hollywood tainted one of my favorite movies with that abomination of a prequel (((they))) shat out a few years ago.

>Neither of the Thing movies

You're talking about two movies, but there have actually been 3 movies.

Howard Hawks 1951 Movie "The Thing from Another World", the 1982 Movie and the shitty 2012 Remake of a Remake.

The burning titles of the 1982 film are a callback to the 1951 original.

They are all based upon the same book was the science fiction novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell, Jr.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Goes_There?

I actually didn't mind that, as a stand alone film OT was bretty gud

But the cgi gave it's set backs, I would have preferred the actual ending with the alien pilot aswell.

Childs was infected at the end you fucking retard.

The bottle that MacReady gave him had kerosene in it, not booze, but Childs doesn't react because he's an alien and he doesn't know what alcohol is supposed to taste like. So MacReady laughs and sits his head back because he has to pretend he doesn't suspect him until he has a chance to hit Childs with the flamethrower

John Carpenter has confirmed in multiple interviews that Childs was The Thing. People who saw MacReady are are fucking retarded because he wouldn't have been fighting the big Thing blob thing if he was when he thought he was the last man

real deep
