Regular Reminder that the so called "television and film" board can't even work out how to defeat the Thing

Regular Reminder that the so called "television and film" board can't even work out how to defeat the Thing.

kill it with kindness

burn it to keep it back
nuke the whole area

The thing isnt horror it's sci fi

Flamethrower to the face

SPIRIT BOMB

You put it in a room of autists and watch it die slowly.

The Thing isn't sci fi, it's social commentary.

Fire it into the sun

freeze it and bury it

Fuck it

The film's setting and strategies are the only way. Fire in a cold environment. ANYWHERE else it'd go nuts. It copies some bird, fish, or anything it's game over. Just imagine this shit breeding in the god damn sea. Some people go near the shoreline a few days later, big tenacles pop out, suck them in, and an hour later human clones pop out. Humanity wouldn't even figure it out for at least a week, and then it's too late.

Best hope would be to find some bunkers, and hunker down for the Thing apocalypse. But if they're taking over people, expect them to use human technology to find your bunkers, and bust it down.

time will defeat it. a strong female antagonist in the next sequel and it stands no chance

Has anyone tried just asking it nicely to go away?

If we kill the Thing then it wins.

Give it the love it has hitherto been denied

Start by gassing all of the jews first, just to be sure.

There is no way to defeat something that can infect you just by touch.

not a bad idea, as the thing would go for people in positions of power once smart enough to comprehend such things.

since it copies cell and what not maybe someone riddled with cancer could take it down if sacrificed to be assimilated

If were going by how the movie worked i wouldnt give a shit, theyre 500 cold miles from the nearest town and once it gets there it will be pretty easily defeated by bombs and fire

Sneeze on it. It's confirmed afraid of germs.

Have everyone become the Thing until it's not a monster anymore.

douse the whole place with ebola

Drop a nuke on it.

it copied black man with sickle cell anemia
it doomed itself to die.
drank petrol too.

What would happen if the thing absorbed all living creatures in the world.

Continent sized biomass factories churning out spaceships to take it to new worlds.

hehe

Wasted, faggot. Btw, The Thing is reddit core nowadays.

Autistic like this one?

the virus had such a great premise. why is akira, alien and the thing and t2 redditcore?

aww yeah motherfucking thing thread

cube is a shit movie and there's nothing wrong with anything on the left side just because they're popular on another website

A resident evil-style acid grenade would fuck it's shit up bad.

you put gasoline into a bottle of alcohol and get it to drink it as a test and to make it more combustable then burn it with your flamethrower

>The Thing is redditcore
>Cube is recommended viewing

This is fucking embarassing

Why not just let it make its space ship and leave?

A black gay transwoman MC will defeat it.

>the faculty

ayyyy, remember watching this when I was 9 and thinking it was awesome

Is it actually a good movie?

Nuke. If fire kills it then it doesn't have positive radiostimulation, thus the radiation would destroy it.

The real question is what would happen if The Thing infected something that was fireproof. Would it remain fireproof or are its cells inherently weak to flame and only mimic other cells aesthetically?

Its popular in reddit nowadays sadly
t. reddito

This man is asking the real questions

Same here, and Yeah it still holds up.

>mfw the omega man approach always works
cuck strategy though

Unleash the Blob on it, thet will fuck it up.

one theory is that the thing retains some genetic memory of the creatures it assimilated in the past, which is why it can assume so many different forms and have such horrifying limbs. If it assumed a fireproof creature then it could just grow whatever skin it needed, as long as it had enough time. It's still alive on the cellular level, per cell just like us.

Hey. Maybe it's work.

xenomorphs will fuck that thing up

Xenos need hosts u retard

I guess I'm ''reddit'' now

what a fucking joke

>28 days later
>Starship Troopers
>Predator 2
>not popular on reddit
bullshit

The only thing you can do, assuming we're in the same environment as the movie, Antarctica, is torch everyone in the vicinity. It's the only way to be safe, kill everyone, burn the lab, an hero to make the ultimate sacrifice.

U can search, faggot

>they live
>akira
>terminator
>starship troopers
>predator
>horror
hmmmmm

Volcano

>species 2
>not decoys 2
really son?

It's not evil, it just wants to survive. Spirit bomb wont kill it

fight a threat to humanity with another threat to humanity!

Get it to turn into a woman, so it gets depressed and offs itself.

>decoys 2
hahahahahahahaha

Male suicide statistics are higher than female suicides.

It was a tranny joke you silly billy

With electricity.

I know, its actually enjoyable to watch unlike species.

Launch it into space, duh

...

It's not airborne. Just watch what you consume and keep your guard up when others are nearby. Develop a deadly pathogen that the thing isn't immune to. Find a bunker. Release the virus. Wait it out in the bunker till the all-clear. You would basically have to bug-bomb the entire planet.

Sorry, im just drunk and watching a "girl" sleep on skype

*wears plot armor*
*teleports behind you*
*cries manly tears*
*pssshhh nothing personal, kid*
CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SOOOOOON

This.
If it can infect and fuse with organic life then it must be vulnerable to the same things animals and plants are.

You'd probably have to unleash something that kills it.
Unfortunately it would also probably kill off everything else along the way.

In that way you'd be starving it to death.
Reminds me of The Flood from Halo.

>It's not airborne
It is if it infects a fly or bug or something.
Some mosquitos are so small you can barely see them with the naked eye.

You kill the The Thing, it wins

Pure autism, shit solution

what a nigger

>If it can infect and fuse with organic life then it must be vulnerable to the same things animals and plants are.

That's autistic thinking

Very true. I also forgot it can probably assimilate most plant life too.
>leave the bunker
>Earth is barren wasteland
fuck
