what happened to nauls in the thing
The original carrier was Jed, a dog the Norwegian scientists tried to kill that ran to the American base for help. tone of the movie is really what makes it great. Maybe they're both things and that's why there's no rush to do anything but wait and see what happens? What While planned for inclusion in the 1982 film The Thing, the creature was dropped due to financial and time constraints. A parasite cannot make judgment calls the way humans can, like where the best place to land a spaceship is, but Iâd be willing to bet that when the Thing takes over a host at least some amount of intelligence remains functional. He’s scrambling to do something and he grabs his human and The Thing(s) survived the explosion? That just left Childs and Nauls. hold on – we can't really say Childs was a Thing either. Are they both We just assume the Thing somehow got him. The scene is shown in storyboard and takes place in the final act; after the Blair-Thing assimilates Garry, Mac and Nauls split up. One of the most popular theories on the ambiguous end says Childs is The Thing. However. As of 1982, the year in which the movie was made, Antarctica was home to only 34 scientific research centers. MacReady is even calling for flamethrowers before he sees the Thing for the first time. Although I probably wouldn't mind if MacReady turned out to be human.Are you interested in the prequel (*cough*remake*cough*)? Not gonna rush out to see it, but if I keep hearing that it's good, I'll check it out eventually. I'm only speculating but this is what I believe. MacReady and Childs, both having survived the ordeal. Fans suspect this drink is actually a test. Do you ever get to see the real Thing, or just a bunch of infected scientists pissing themselves in fear? I have to disagree - Norris still has his bad heart when the Thing replicated him exactly as he was. If you have a strong sense of willpower and intelligence like MacReady, or are in top physical condition like Childs, you can bet that youâll be hanging around until the end of the movie. Here's why I thought this. So, if Macready is the thing, why fight the Blair Thing? Damn tricky demons. Granted, there were attempts to cash in on the growing popularity of the film within the cult classic genre through comic books and video games, but more often than not their explanations fall short of all the cool scenarios you can cook up in your own head.

One You say "At the end of the film, an infected Blair, a character that wore glasses throughout the whole movie, no longer needed his spectacles. Personally, I think MacReady was still human, but Childs was infected. warmth they had left, hoping that their alien nightmare was finally over? seen better days. and Childs are visibly exhausted and beat up at the end of the film. Please make a sequel, John Carpenter. If you relate this to previous hosts (or ever wondered what the Thing looked like before the Norwegians thawed it out) it would appear as if the creature has no true form, but mimics and âremembersâ past physical attributes. the case, MacReady would be alone and, quite simply, fucked. He liked to wear roller skates and play loud music while cooking, much to Bennings' disapproval. Now, some people may argue that faulty game mechanics in the fear/trust program causes a glitch, where you administer a blood test to increase trust, then two seconds later the guy is a monster. Nauls' fate is never explicitly shown in the film. that the alien mimics organisms so completely, that it recreates their For a guy who drinks or makes references to drinking through the entire film (pouring whiskey on a computer for âcheatingâ and âwanting to just get drunk in his shackâ) not wanting to drink the whiskey AFTER Childs takes a sip says a lot about whatâs possibly going through his mind.

MacReady American base is a Thing-ified dog. alien isn’t your typical xenomorph, however – it can essentially “infect” any Let's say that the Thing had Mac's jacket in hand and was on its way to put it in Mac's shack. Logically, the concept of symbiotic parasitism is easy to apply to any events following the movie considering itâs exactly what the movie is about. The Norwegian trying to kill the dog was a in a helicopter and also one of the last survivors who discovered the Thing. We never did find out what happened to Nauls. Many believe Russell's character gave Childs a bottle of gasoline since he was using Molotov cocktails earlier. It's Yeah the Blair Thing and/or Nauls Thing could definitely have survived. It can still be seen in production artwork. However, I don't find it plausible that the Thing would kill him because of time constraints. characters elude Things and then the film just ends. chest, visibly in pain. However, Iâm one for dark heroes and plot twists so I choose to disagree, based on the fact that Mac was a Vietnam veteran, a loner, and in all respects just an everyday guy trying to survive. Nauls takes refuge in a bathroom stall, his leg is broken. They would need to be rescued though or there won't be enough action potential.
