Ummm, how about because simply the alien simply wanted to survive by using humans to get back home? You do realize it was making a ship when McReady and the gang went Rambo on it? Another "i hate humans" leftard..
I’m still haunted by the thought of Wilford Brimley as a Creature.
Why do some people have to try to explain everything with stupid complex “moral” lessons? And always with “humans are evil”.
The organism was trying to take over because that’s what living things all try to do.
I watched Frogs on youtube. Sam went without underwear to show off his goods to get more roles. Ray Milland walked off the set before it was finished. They had a poster and no script...lolol...or something like that
I still remember being creeped out by it in the theaters
That doesn’t really qualify as a “huge plot hole.”
I guess the 1951 version is not the “original” or the writer is to young and ill-informed to to check it out.
I prefer the ‘50s version.
That’s hardly the biggest plot hole. How about the fact that, of the two people who had access to the blood supply in the cabinet, both tested “negative” for the alien?
The only thing that upsets me about that movie is that they burned the upside-down head spider creature too quickly. I wanted to see more of it.
“disgusted by humanity and its penchant for disasters...”
Must be referring to the Norwegians since the thing was actually in their camp first.....did dude even watch the movie I wonder?

‘Article’ destroyed after first post.
Can we have bunnies with pancakes now?
The ‘organism’ was like any other animal, just trying to survive.
A lion doesn’t make moral judgements while it’s eating a gazelle.
A wolf doesn’t consider the results of its actions as it stalks a deer...........................
Saw The Thing when it originally came out in the theaters in 1982 on my 13th birthday. Back then I was (and still am) a fanatic about movies. I was going to the movies once a week with my then best friend (a fellow fanatic about the movies) for a lot of years from the 1970s-1980s
But The Thing was one movie I saw without my friend. A few days before my 13th birthday, my uncle called up and asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told him I wanted to see 2 movies. The Thing and Poltergeist.
So, on the day of my 13th birthday, first he took me to see The Thing. About half way through the movie he couldn’t stand the gory special effects anymore and walked out of the movie, waiting for me in the lobby when the movie ended.
He then took me to see Poltergeist, but assuming he didn’t want to see gory special effects that movie might have, he bought only a ticket for me and went back to his apartment (which was nearby the theater), coming back to pick me up after the movie ended.
Yes, I very much enjoyed both movies.
This screed is from MSN and is nothing but leftard wokeism.
The Original Thing Movie was out in 1951. I was 13 and basically never had nightmares. I did for weeks after that movie, and so did a lot of cousins and friends my age.
Later during the Cuban Missile Crisis, I had nightmares as our ship was in and out of Gitmo. I only had a secret clearance and that was enough.
Later while in the reserve, I had a top secret Clearance and I had a few more Cuban Missile Crisis nightmares.
1951 Thing info:
When scientist Dr. Carrington (Robert Cornthwaite) reports a UFO near his North Pole research base, the Air Force sends in a team under Capt. Patrick Hendry (Kenneth Tobey) to investigate. What they find is a wrecked spaceship and a humanoid creature (James Arness) frozen in the ice. They bring their discovery back to the base, but Carrington and Hendry disagree over what to do with it. Meanwhile, the creature is accidentally thawed and begins wreaking havoc.
Ahhh yes... Someone else’s insecurities transferred to a fictional entity. Yawn...
“The theory works perfectly to explain the organism’s actions, and fits in with the themes of paranoia throughout the films. One of the most highly speculated films, everyone, and their monster alien dog has an opinion on its ending.”
The theory is idiotic and shows the hatred of the writer for humanity. The creature simply wanted to survive and perhaps to spread itself across the world. The creature’s motivation is no plot hole.
The Alien was upset about Global Climate Change
If it was disgusted by humanity, then why kill the dogs?
