- Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this episode, Linkara looks at a comic adaptation of "Who Goes There," the story that would eventually become John Carpenter's "The Thing."

ORIGINAL INFO: Man is the warmest place to hide… except when he cranks the air conditioning up.
RUMINATIONS: As it often was the case… I needed a break.
That summer basically had me going for three months of storyline material EVERY week with the exception of the 200th episode in order to get Linkara through all the story beats before he could get back home. I knew I was going to be doing a lot more intense, emotional story stuff for the next several weeks with lots of different characters and costume changes… so I needed one week to give myself a rest and catch up. The story really SHOULD have ended with the Clone Saga review later that month, but it just realistically wasn’t going to happen without a little rest and something a bit easier to look at. The nice thing about the Starstream review was that while it was a familiar story to me, it was also written very much with an older comic style, meaning lots of dialogue was goofy and mockable.
This also premiered “Thing Tucker” as Al, the title card artist, affectionately referred to him. The Thing’s original form, as presented, is goofy as all hell. In theory it’s frightening, but in execution… well, as you can see, it made for a more adorable tiny mascot than it did as a fully-fledged monster. The name derives from the fact that Al believed that if the tiny Thing was ever given a voice, it would sound like Chris Tucker. We’ve never tried to see if that’s the case by making Thing Tucker an actual character - just a fun little in-joke in all the Halloween title cards from them on out. - Комедії
Anyone else misread the title as "Starscream #1?" I was totally expecting a Transformers comic.
+batfan1939 Same here! It'd be hilarious if IDW had an April Fool's edition where Starscream takes over the comic and narrates it from his point of view.
+Tareltonlives Nice. XD
Well there was The Reign of Starscream, which was a prequel comic to Revenge of the Fallen that had Starscream as the protagonist.
@@Tareltonlives It would probably be Starscream talking about how awesome he is and how dumb Megatron is.
Great now I’m just hoping that maybe some various transformers characters get their own like five issue miniseries or something.
I love AVGN, but I'm with linkara on this. The thing not only is a masterwork of practical effects, but also suspenseful as all hell, and one of my fav horror movies
When did James Rolfe say this?
@@bigmetroidfan1263 That would be Rolfe's Alien Invaders review trilogy, the first part.
ditto me amigo, who cares if The Thing is disgusting, that just means the effects are f***ing amazing
Thing is, Norwegians aren't just taught english from a young age, we are constantly exposed to it. After American products started becoming really popular in the 50s and 60s, there was a growing trend of importing movies and TV shows and adding norwegians subtitles to them, only dubbing the shows meant for children too young to read. As someone born in the late 80s, I think 50% of all the movies I've watched on television since I was old enough to read have been American and another 20% have been English/Australian. My father who was born in the early 50s used to listen to English music in his adolescence and he had no problem understanding the lyrics in spite of not having any subtitles for them and he quickly adapted to not require subtitles for movies and radio shows either. True, there are a few people who do not speak english, but they are almost exclusively people who still remember when there were Nazi soldiers marching through the streets. Even if there were noone else but Norwegians at the station at the time period of the movie, the worst case scenario is that the ones who did speak english would be heavily accented, which might make communication slow, but not impossible.
Yeah I don't think native English speakers know just how prevalent English is in the Nordic countries. Half of me thinks Danish will probably be overtaken by English as the language of Denmark in just a few generations
It just goes to show: animated shows *on the Disney Channel* are far more respectful to 80s sci-fi and horror films than modern mainstream Hollywood.
***** I feel lost, did one of Disney's cartoon's recently homage the Thing?
Gravity Falls. There's an episode, Into the Bunker, where the protagonists encounter a shapeshifter and... let's just say there's some scenes where it's clear what they're homaging.
+Reapermaskhybrid Simpsons Did it better
Mind you that was four years ago. And nowadays modern Hollywood is....better about it, but there’s still room for fair enough debate on how much or if Hollywood really gets WHY these movies made an impact rather than playing Andy Richter’s “ ‘Memba Dis?”
Don’t forget TMNT (2012) Season 3: Episode 3 called Buried Secrets.
That episode pays homage to John Carpenter’s The Thing and it’s glorious.
Norwegians are taught engish in pre-school, and have english continuously through high school and later, it gets kinda hard to forget. But if they truly were on an isolated station with no one but Norwegians, it would crack up a little. They would still be able to talk, but it would probably be heavy accented, and they'd slip words from time to time
In my head, the Thing's original form is one of those Lovecraftian horrors the first Dark Lords of the Sith made.
DogoHalibar Its a bunch of cells, it dosen't have a true form
3:37 I feel bad for the effects folks that worked on that prequel. There's behind the scenes footage that showed them working on a lot of practical effects, suits, monster props & stuff. The crew seemed really excited to be doing that. But the studio pushed for more CGI. Doesn't really excuse the bad writing & dumb characters though.
+Scott Merrill People overfocus the first point and don't dwell enough on the second.
The Thing prequel would've been shit even if it used the practical effects.
I'm sure someone'll bring up Harbinger Down eventually... frankly I'm thinking that'll be less The Thing and more Leviathan; AKA a dumb 80s monster movie in 2015.
Scott Merrill No but it would've made the movie a bit more tolerable.
+Gat the Man Indeed. I still would have been critical of it, but the CG monster effects are distracting as hell for me. You look at the Thing in the Carpenter film and you're FASCINATED by all the little bits here and there, the little details crammed in. Whereas in the prequel it's just GAGGLE OF TENTACLES AND PINK FLESH.
Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall I don't have that much of a issue with CGI as long I get to see and understand what's going on, but in some cases if you were going with practical effects you stick with it and not change in the last second.
Well I can't explain why it was fast in the prequel but I think the reason it flat out attacks may be because it has just encountered the humans and believed that attacking them was smart. In John Carpenter's The Thing after seeing that attacking the humans in the open was stupid it learned from it's mistake and attack in the shadows
You know, the ship could've been made of a highly destructible material on purpose. Maybe it was a capsule intended to quarantine the Thing, or the aliens would revert to the primal "thing" form if isolated in hibernation on an alien world and they intended to protect other races from themselves, or the Thing could've stolen the ship to spread itself and the ship was just designed to burn up if disabled so a primitive species wouldn't be accidentally "uplifted" by the discovery of the craft. They could've just used future shield whatever to protect the ship from being burned up accidentally, or not used it in atmospheric conditions.
You know, nothing is indestructible, from titanium, iron or whatever. Just because the metal was alien that doesn’t mean it’s nothing like in the periodic table of elements, as these elements only existed in the universe, not just Earth. I know your comment was four years old, but I’m still giving you a response that nothing in the universe is literally indestructible, not even battleships can withstand a nuclear blast. Besides, that alien ship just crashed, why wouldn’t it be easily destroyed by conventional means even when there’s no crew on board?
Also, there’s a misconception that when a meteoroid or spacecraft enters the atmosphere, the heat of entry is not primarily caused by friction, but by adiabatic compression of air in front of the object.
Before I saw this video, I actually misread the title, and thought Decepticon Starscream got his own comic series.
Random thought: maybe the difference in M.O. for the Thing between the prequel and its predecessor is because the Thing learned from its mistakes in the prequel? That it only behaved like it did in the classic film because it realized its more direct approach in the prequel didn't work? Just spitballing here.
I would say that makes sense. It barely escaped from a group of civilians by going full frontal...so now lets try the stealth route especially as they seem to have more weapons
It does make sense story-wise, but there's still the problem of how interesting it is for a movie-viewing audience. For example, it makes sense that Freddy Kruger would be a more basic serial killer before he died, but it's not as interesting as when he died and becomes a dream killer. It makes sense that the Thing is more of a reckless, rampaging monster in the prequel, but it's still not as interesting as when it's hiding and using stealth and tact.
The Thing learning from its experience with the Norwegian base is a great concept, just not one that needed an entire movie dedicated to showing it.
But The Thing showed intelligence in the prequel by cleaning up the shower when Kate Lloyd discovered the blood. It doesn't make sense to have it show intelligence by cleaning up the shower but then have it be a mindless killing monster after that scene. Not only is the mindless killing alien angle contradict how the alien functioned John Carpenter's The Thing but it also contradict the scene in the prequel where the alien cleaned up the shower.
Personally I don't think so. Because like, clearly this is a species that has enough intelligence for space travel, so obviously it seems like it can think. And I would be very surprised if that was that species first rodeo with assimilation. My own theory being that they ended up here in search of intelligent life to add into their own because there wasn't anything left in their own region of space. Point is, if it can travel all that way, I doubt this would be their first time trying to assimilate a species.
LOL. A rejected muppet! And they made some crazy looking muppets, too.
13:45 to 14;00 best part of the review. The Yugioh GX theme is a gem and Linkara singing it is awesome
Fox: I wondered why Thing Tucker looked the way he did....from the Thing as a green giant with three tomatoes on his face and spaghetti on his head.
Who else wants him to go over the other stories in this issue?
I know I do.
Someone sponsored an episode for the rest of Action Comics #1. Maybe _some_ day...
I like to believe the Thing in the prequel being all quick and wild is because it just woke up to a new surrounding and by the time it takes place in the first, it learn how to adapt and avoid the chaos from before.
That and maybe it was an experiment for the next time it comes across humans.
Sterilization is brought up by Kate when the dr wants to take a sample and he pulls rank on her later when they are away from the others.
When you mentioned doctor who, this instantly popped into my head: Doctor Who and The Thing crossover. Like this comment if you want to see that.
didn't doctor who kind of sort of do that. I can't remember the episode but there was one where some entity kept jumping into people trapped on a land cruise thing, stealing their voices, mannerisms, and feeding into their paranoia to make them turn on each other. Hell it almost succeeded in killing the doctor but failed because it mimicked him too well (using words only he was using that were essentially not in use anymore).

Maureen May Like!
Already happened before the new series. The Tom Baker story from season 13 "The Seeds of Doom"... its very close to "the Thing"
The next time you're watching _The Thing,_ pay close attention to the dog. Usually when a dog (especially an energetic husky) meets a new group of people, it's gonna be dashing from person to person in an attempt to make friends. "Hey! New person! I love you! Hey! OTHER new person! I love you too!" 🐶 But the dog in this movie will slowly, meticulously cross a room while avoiding eye contact, his head down, eyes straight-forward. He's casing the joint, while also being careful to not call attention to himself. Then when he's later put into the kennel, he's afraid to go into this cage filled with these (for all he knows) ravenous beasts. Any other dog in this situation would probably be jumping from butt to butt to do a little social sniffing, or maybe if he's feeling nervous, he'll make himself look smaller and tuck his tail between his legs. But THIS dog just keeps staring forward, completely oblivious to what he should be expecting, or how a dog is SUPPOSED to behave in this situation. I don't know how you direct a dog to act like it has NO IDEA how to dog, but it's just brilliant.
For some reason that made me think of videos titles "Dogs that fail at being dogs". The thumbnail with the corgi cracks me up and is quite opposite of the thing-doggo.
Well Linkara, the Thing in the prequel just awoken from being frozen and has no clue what lifeforms are here and it was acting reckless at first because it's scared, it didn't know how humans work and was trying to get rid of them fast, when it was beaten it figured fighting them in the open was not a good idea so it decided to fight smart.
Doesn't excuse it from doing unforgivably stupid decisions. Such as, for instance, revealing itself on a helicopter leaving the base for a more densely populated area as opposed to just sitting still and doing nothing to achieve it's victory.
Did anyone else read the title as "Starscream #1"?
+Red Lantern Reviews I did! "Whoa, is that alien monster behind the Decepticons?!"
XD my reaction as well
Me did
Yo I thought starscream from transformers got a solo series but then I reread the title and got sad because a starscream solo series sounds like the best thing in the world
i actually would read the thing vs the trasformers
If you were disappointed with The Thing (2011), there is a book called The Thing: Zero Day that is a prequel to The Thing (1982) and it is much more faithful and the continuity between it and the movie is perfect. It also adds elements from "Who goes there?" ( the original inspiration for The Thing). It is free to download.
By appearance alone, this version of the thing looks like it belongs in a Monsters Inc movie. I even started hearing the Monsters Inc theme in my head as soon as they revealed what it really looked like! 😆
At least it was less jollyfuzzy than the employees in Monsters Inc once it got out.
I think the Thing's actions during the prequel make it's actions during the original make sense.
It was probably not all there mentally or physically what with having been frozen for a couple of millennia and when in woke up it was probably more concerned with just replenishing biomass or whatever so it tried the brute force method several times over and ended up losing in spite of being stronger, harder, better, faster. So it tried a subtler approach when it arrived in the American camp.
Not that this makes the prequel any less shitty it's just a thought.
bryan adkins makes sense.
But it does contradict the scene in the prequel where the alien cleaned up the shower after Kate Lloyd. The Thing showed intelligence in that one scene but it became a mindless killing monster after that scene. It really doesn't make sense, especially since it contradict John Carpenter's The Thing
Maybe what happened in the prequel was an experiment for the thing to see what humans are like.
Nash made the incredible Thing title sequence for AT4W? That's awesome.
Lewis Lovhaug, thank you for introducing me to this franchise. Much as these comics blow, it was your praise that led me to eventually watch The Thing, and I love it.
the remake of the thing tells me one thing the thing learns, it learned from its first encounter to bide it's time and wait from its first encounter that may not have been the intention, but it feels right
Stone ocean006 I agree.
Origin of “Thing Tucker”
I have to say, it's nice hearing you talk fondly of horror movies. I'm a big horror fan myself so it's nice to hear someone I really like appreciating good horror.
I actually kind of like the prequel. That’s a shame about the effects, because they actually did use some great practical work, but the studio wanted them painted over with CG.
Want to know what really sucks about the 2011 the thing, it was originally going to have practical effects for the monster
Lizzie Auzenne its even worse... I have the dvd. On the special features they show you that almost all of the scenes were practical but the studio made them CG over all the puppets....yes the just put a CGI filter over there hard work
I wonder if there's a way to have a horror version of the AT4W Theme song, I mean we have a Christmas one so why not.

@@Gojiragon nice
It's AMAZING how Linkara and my opinions line up sometimes. When it comes to the Thing movies, basically everything that was said about them in the introduction might as well of come from myself because I 100% COMPLETELY agree. Although, given his recent compilation video (I'm sorry Lewis, there's only so much time I can spend watching your show that I don't have time to watch three hours' worth of material) I can't be sure if his thoughts have changed about the quality of each film.
Honestly, I can handwave some pretty dumb choices from horror movie characters by assuming that the fear and adrenaline was affecting their critical thinking skills,. but it is SO refreshing to not have to think that.
read title as Starscream #1 was confused till 5:43
now feel dumb
Actually, in the prequel, there were Norwegians, Swedes and Danes all on the same station
So many opportunities for the "You've got to be fucking kidding me" clip ":)
Spoony already did it in his "The Thing" 2002 video game review. I guess Linkara would've found it redundant.
Remember, Linkara, in some movies, stupid decissions are necesarry to drive the plot, like how the laws of physics must be bent for Back to the Future to work
But it's like suspension of disbelief, there is only so much stupid that can happen before characters stop being people and start being plot points.
They DID discuss the possibility of infection in the prequel. Before they drilled the tissue sample out, Kate suggested that they sterilize it first. And honestly, was the stupidity really that unexpected? In the '82 film, the Norwegian pilot dropped his active grenade, and tried to pick it up instead of running away, and got himself blown up for being a complete moron. Also, if those characters WERE more competent, then they would've stopped the creature right then and there and saved us the '82 film. Can't we just assume that the incompetence was intentional?
It could have been the characters who lived the events before The Thing realized too late the alien was a shapeshifter. And since apparently there were characters who talked two differents languages at least, there could have been a lot of mistrust created by events The Thing actually did, if it chose not to appear in front of everyone. The researchers would have been like Linkara, Harvey, 90's Kid and Linksano when they couldn't get out of their house/appartment, thinking one of them was not who he pretended to be.
The prequel kinda shot my theory in the shitter. I always imagined the invasion was very sudden on the first outpost. Notice how he only carried a rifle and a grenade? He obviously had less experience with the Thing than Macready's group, otherwise he'd have had something flammable or corrosive to kill it cell by cell. Remember that line of dialogue from the movie;
"And if you were all those *things,* then you'd just attack me now. So some of you are still human."
Perhaps that could've been what happened at the original outpost. The creature must have been capable of taking that team more silently and attempted to dominate the human minority, it retreating when things went wrong. It's a theory filled with holes, but it would explain certain things about it's behaviour. Having something like that just happen and then have to go chase it in the Arctic within a 24 hour span could leave you in quite an unstable state of mind.
My favorite adaptation of Who Goes There? is Thingu. Basically John Carpenter’s The Thing, but make it Pingu. Even Carpenter himself loved it. If you haven’t seen it (Linkara, commenters, whoever), please look it up. It’s a delight. And just super impressive claymation.
That said, I do also love the original short story a whole lot. I have the audiobook of it (narrated by Steve Cooper, who does a fantastic job) and I’ve listened to it many a time. It’s a weird comfort story for me.
I wonder what Linkara would look like with a mustache...
hmm.... ;)
See the end of his Holy Terror review.
+Awsomeness103 Or TeamFourStar's "Moustache" music video.
Thank you Linkara for introducing me to this franchise.
All of this would've been solved with more thermite
Ah, so that's where that 3-eyed Muppet came from. Definitely makes the James Arness version from the 1951 movie more frightening by comparison.
I saw THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD for the first time & while it is a solid foundation for the John Carpenter film, my biggest takeaway was when Dr. Vorhees came onscreen.
😀"Hey, you're Paul Frees!"
...
[sees nobody here]
First! Ha ha ha HAAAA [gets killed by angry mob]
i see your hiding skills have grown Homer
It is worth noting that ADI did make practical effects for The Thing prequel but Universal wanted it to have CGI painted over the practical effects.
You have a beautiful singing voice, you should do that more.
Okay, but ya know what the original had that the remake didn't?
James Arness.
Just saying, most things are improved with the addition of Matt Dillon.
Apparently the Thing came from the same planet as the Psychlos from Battlefield Earth.
Or maybe the Space Jockeys from Alien/Prometheus made the Thing as a bio-weapon to wipe the Psychlos out.
You’re both wrong: the Thing was a prototype Flood Form
i actually heard from either acidglow, hybrid network or mr h reviews that there's a possibly logical reason for why the thing went all-out on the norwegians in the prequel: it hadn't dealt with humans before
The sad thing about the 2011 thing is there were really good practical effects. Seeing some behind the secenes there were some rod and hands covered in green cloth. Those could have been keyed out and it would have looked better.
15:39 It's time to face your maker on the muppet show tonight.
To be fair, in the Prequel, Kate tried to bring up that there could be dangers of contamination by trying to obtain a sample with the tools they had at the time, but Sander was a prick who took offense to it and ignored her.
Talk about not paying attention
And thus, a new title card character is born
I recently saw the Howard Hawks version, and the only scary part was finding the dead dog in the compartment. Admittedly, the stuntman catching fire was pretty cool, and the camera not showing the thing getting up as it thawed was done better in the film than in the book, but still, the thing's spaceship having recently crashed takes away the alieniness. Plus, because the thing doesn't assimilate its victims and instead uses their blood for sustenance and reproduction is cliche, in that it's derivative not only from vampires, but from the novel the War of the Worlds. Anyways, I could go on but case in point, I'm in full agreement with your opinion Linkara! I absolutely adore Carpenter's The Thing. It is indeed much scarier than the Hawks version, especially when taken into account how the thing has no definitive form, which makes it something like the blob. Really like the review of the comic as Iooking back to when I read it online a couple of years ago, the design of the thing as described in the book is silly looking, as this has me scratching my head as to why the characters don't just calling it Triclopes, Red-Eye, Worm-head or Greenface?! That's no thing to me! lol.
Ya know, this is a common occurrence in horror films: Idiotic and unlikable characters... most of them. I know that's for all forms of any medium, but really.
This might be a debated thing, but the design of the creature is really smart. It looks nice and cute, reminiscent of toys or babies. In humans at least, it would lull them into a false sense of security which is what the thing does with the hiding. It looks dumb, but would you trust a giant tentacle monster, or a cute toy alien?
7:25- There's a department store in my hometown that used to sell comics and the children's section, but they stopped doing that in the early 2000's.
Worst part of thing prequel is there were really good practical effects made. Insted of finding good angles to shoot them from or just keying out the operators who were wearing green jumpsuits for that.
It is worth mentioning that this story took a few ques from Lovecraft's at the mountains of madness.
18:44 - Why test rabbits? Well, suppose someone gets pregnant.
George miller+the thing=pure awesome
9:24 the only problem with that logic is that it doesn't take the effects of lighting into consideration; someone who's hiding in a pitch black shadow can easily see someone who isn't, but someone who isn't hiding in a pitch black shadow can't see someone who is (play Splinter Cell Chaos Theory to find out more). Now while I do disagree with your reasoning, I can't imagine the water that the ice in this picture is made of is very murky given how clearly we can see the details on the ship.
Hey Linkara, did you know in 1972 there was ANOTHER adaptation of Who goes there? It has about as much to do with the book as the 1952 movie, but I watched it an it wasn't half bad. (Peter Cushin and Christopher Lee. )
Its called Horror Express. Basically, a scientist finds a frozen caveman in the mountains of china, sticks it on a train to europe, it wakes up and absorbs peoples minds through their eyes, and when its life is in danger it transfers its mind and powers to a new host. (Because its really an energy based alien that needs a host.) I know it's silly but its the same quality you'd expect from a Hammer Horror film, and we get Peter Cushin and Christopher Lee teamed up as the good guys for once. It's on youtube for free!
20:37 why did he volunteer if he actually was the Thing
Maybe the three eyed creature was some alien infected by the thing who tried to escape and crashed on Earth.
Ten years of the first thing review
15:31 it looks like the original short story collection's cover I guess
Out in the deep cold, feeling very tired. Yep, that is hypothermia.
The one thing I can't blame the prequel film for at least can't blame all the people actually working on the movie. As they spent a lot of time and effort making sure that the entire film would use practical effects. And seeing some behind the scene stuff about it they looked really good. Yet the studio came in to check on all of it and said "Ohh none of this looks realistic enough and that when you look at all the effects from certain angles you can clearly tell they aren't real". Well no fucking shit it's called filming things from certain angles to hide such things which is what they told the studio. And they just said no that won't help enough people will tell they aren't real. Because yea special effects are so totally impossible to tell if its real or not. So what happened is that they had to then give the film to some company to do the effects with minimal time and due to that its why a lot of the forms it changes into look so generic or bad. Because the team had very little time so they had to just go with generic things or just things that were very messy looking and hard to tell what it even was.
Not saying the film would be great if that wasn't the case as a lot of the problems would still be there. But it would at least look so much better staying true to the original in terms of the effects. And I'm also sure they had to rewrite some of the film due to not being able to use the practical effects.
There was also a sequel in video game form. John Carpenter even said it's canon.
Really I just see this game because I want to see how good it is.
Maureen May
It got mixed reception.
Spoony made a review of it, back in 2007. He doesn't make it look good.
I like the thing prequel yes I agree horrible decisions made it into a messy movie
-They were going to use practical effects and CGI, but someone said no just use CGI
-The bunch of deleted scenes that should be kept in the movie
-If you watch the movie it seems heavenly inspire by the game, more than the Carpenters movie the way the thing behaves and acts
i think the cover image is supposed to be The Color Out of Space by HP Lovecraft, or i have no idea since i have never done any illigal substance abuse to understand shit like that
10:40 I am learning!
atop. I like to think that in the prequel the thing showed itself because it was newer to the environ and in the next movie it was smarter.
And now I know where that plushy came from.
No, all Norwegians are fluent in English. Sorry, but that is completely accurate
Bunnies are perfect when you need a fluffy buddy to pet
Small correction that nobody really cares about; The Thing 1982 is not a remake of The Thing from Another World. They are just both based off the same story.
14:00 Yu-Gi-Oh! GX reference makes me happy!
I'm glad you're uploading your reviews of the Thing comics. I loved the movie, loed the idea of the sci-fi channel mini series, and love how stupid the comics are.
Have you considered reviewing Alien and Predator comics? Those are very hit and miss, but the hits are REALLY good.
So this is when those we'll be right back things started.
At the time, revenue had gone down significantly at Blip, so it was necessary to start adding midrolls to videos. Once Patreon rolled around, the $1000 mark was to end midrolls in videos. I've been bringing midrolls again for certain videos, but only stuff that's really long that I would normally break into multiple videos, like the storyline compilations or PO Unboxing ones.
15:15
Funniest moment in the video.
Still waiting on gull merro deltoros (Sorry if i miss pronuced the name Sorry) mounten of madness movie adaption
I didn't know they made comics based on the thing.
I'm going to guess this is probably closer to "who goes there" than either film. I prefer the BW version and some of this like the thermite destroying the ship are the exact way its done in the first film. But the creature doesn't assimilate in that film. I'm sure the special effects limitations of the time forced the change to a "carrot man". So the comic seems like a merging of the original and the remake.
You can read the original 1939 novella here: www.goldenageofscifi.info/ebook/Who_Goes_There.pdf
90% of Norwegians (5.1 million) speak English. Norwegian only slightly beats it (5.3 million).
Given a random Norwegian and a random person from the United States, the Norwegian is more likely to be fluent in English. We only have 78.1% fluent in English in the US.
My wife's Russian so English is her 2nd language. If she's not using her English knowledge, she does start to forget it.
I mean, John carpenters is good, but the original thing lit their actors on fire.
I love and I mean LOOOIIOIVE THE THING
i might be the only one on this but i think the thing looks like a scooby doo monster initially. wheres fred and velma when you need them.
3:09 This is why the 2001 Planet of the Apes is better than Rise, which I found boring, and the less said about Dawn and War the better.
That stated, the five original Apes films are still the best.
The eyyyeeeees, what's up with the eyyyeeees
Interesting. I want to know where they went with it.
All these people are talking about how they misread the title as “Starscream #1” and that got me thinking...
Starscream NEEDS his own solo book. I would buy every issue of that.
heh. thing tucker. ya changed things up since then. yer show looks more... i dunno, homey.
Always trust the norwegian guy. Seriously, we're the most trustworthy people in movie history.
Zanar Naryon I sense a trap...
Um... why was the number referencing Lindsay?
She did the same thing to me in an old video at the time.
