Game similiar to The thing

Check out Nuclear Nightmare on Steam.

Set in some winter area and you get possessed if you get infected by Monster.

Why would they do that? Are they stupid?

Hi all, After the blood test, MacReady and friends leave to go check on Blaire and leave Childs behind, alone. Why would they do that if they're paranoid of each other?

Amazing animated science fiction show MAX now on Netflix. E6 has a great Thing homage. I won't spoil the scene. This show is worth your time.

Homages

I’m sure this has been brought up many times before, but I think it’s cool when movies pay homage to The Thing. Was re-watching Godzilla: King of the Monsters just now. So cool The Thing references.

The Thing was acting in self-defense

Everything that the Thing does was in self-defense. The Thing crash lands on an unknown planet, and gets frozen in ice.

After 100,000 years frozen in ice, the Thing is found and thawed by unknown aliens. Of course the Thing is frightened by this situation. Lost and alone with unknown aliens surrounding it. The Thing's first response was a flight or fight response, it choose to fight to defend itself from the unknown aliens by assimilating. Assimilating is the Thing's version of our fisticuffs. The Thing is trying to survive by doing the only way he knew how, by assimilating, changing all the aliens into itself to ensure it's safety.

After the Thing narrowly escaped the Norwegians, the Thing finds itself with more unknown aliens, the Americans.

Since the Thing knows how dangerous humans are to it, the Thing learns from it's experience and adopts a more stealthy approach to the Americans.

The Thing's goals at this point is to escape these dangerous aliens and make it back into space by building it's own spaceship.

To the Thing, we are the monsters.
