No sweet pea, I was fixing a pot of coffee. You're not my highest priority, so calm down, here we go.
Okay, I tried responding without snorting with laughter.- The proximity is intentionally established by the camera shots.
I see. The same was shown with a slow glide in empty rooms, what did proximity play a role there? I mean, they were very purposeful long camera pans and you seem to think that automatically equates to some proximity advantage. So what was it? - He can subdue people quickly, the final showdown establishes it.
Okay.thanks for that, Captain Obvious. - If so then he subdues him rather quickly, returns to the engine room, freaky-Childs runs away and transforms by the time the base explodes. There was plenty of time for that.
I see. so Childs Thing knows Mac and gang were going to blow up the camp.
before
they even decided to blow up the camp and that's why the childs alien booked out of there and into the snowstorm to save the species.got it.
(Never seen fan fiction written by Wylie Coyote before)
4)This makes sense because in order for the Thing to ensure survival, it would want a separate body away from the base and maximize the odds in its favor.
Of course! Since according to your daft logic above, this species can predict the future! It knew the base was going to explode before the humans decided it! - Do you know what fan fiction is?
No! Please tell us! Form a half circle boys and girls. This is going to be good, I can tell!
Is English your second or third language?
Slo un idiota pedira eso despus de hablar con esa persona en ingls previamente
Or do you simply post drunk?
People showing you inconsistencies in your laughable fan fiction does not equate to posting drunk. I think we get it. It hurts your widdle feelwings when someone pokes holes in your fan fiction.
Trying to put together pieces of the puzzle is part of the fun for the movie.
But you have to have all the puzzle pieces to complete the puzzle. Carpenter intentionally removed a few pieces. You will neeeeeeeeeeeever complete it.
It was made so that people like myself, could school people like you, with the aforementioned details.
The only thing you've schooled me in is bloated ego fools like you fall too much in love with your own fan fiction. - If you'd like to counter, that you should counter with "here's a good reason why Childs is NOT the Thing". Simply negating points I've made, that are meant to be speculation, are not feats of great intelligence.
I'll pass nor did I ever once claim Childs is NOT the Thing. I have nothing concrete he is human. But if I'm going to entertain that he is an alien, I prefer more substantial common sense than your whining, "Liar, liar, Childs pants on fire!" - I hope you appreciate how well organized this response has been. It was tailored specifically for your level of understanding.
Oh, he mad.
One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

The case for Childs being assimilated is very simple. We know that Blair was in the engine room, the basement, and there's a camera shot (when Childs is standing guard) that establishes the proximity which would enable Blair to sneak up on him. Childs then runs out, later claiming he thought he saw Blair, but since the power goes out immediately we know Blair could only have been down at the engine room. After the blackout there's a shot back to the room where Childs was, and we see the coats rearranged (remember, the Thing messes up clothes during assimilation). When Childs does show up at the end, he wears a green coat (he's been wearing blue up until that point). You might say it's the same coat and that the lighting makes a difference, but I think the way the color matches the straps on the flamethrower is a strong indication the it's a green coat.
(Green coat)+(abandoning his post)+(lying about it)=Childs is the Thing.
Omg yes yes yes. This is the reason that I love this movie!! It is the smartest science fiction horror movie ever made!!

Childs seemed to be very trusting of Mac Gready which was what I thought was weird. He also seemed to understand that MacGready was the only one that made it. He didn't even ask about Blair. Like, did you see Blair? Or any other human reaction.

Yes. It was the personality change that was suspicious. It's everything Childs doesn't say that makes him seem like a Thing. It was the way he carried himself as well. Very confident. Unafraid. Not panicking at all. Like it knew it won and about to defeat all of its enemies.

It's devastating, isn't it? To realize that your hero MacReady lost the fight, and is about to be copied.
