HOME I loved The Thing, but I have my doubts that this will get anywhere near as unnerving.

The Thing (1982) is one of very few movies that has no female cast at all. I wouldn't like to be misunderstood as misogynistic, but I think sometimes removing unnecessary elements can help concentrate an atmosphere yes?Originally Posted by BangTail
Fire And Smoke for ArmA2: JTD_FireAndSmoke v0.2
For better future effects addons, please vote for this ticket.
Yes, it removes the 'we all have to save the female no matter what else is happening' dynamic and the 'one of us has to bed the female' dynamic which are both distracting and unnecessary in a film like The Thing.
I don't think it is in any way misogynistic, and further to that, it was contextually accurate for the time.
I'm not sold on the new one tbh but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt

Spoiler:
Or in good old 21st century style ... "the female must over compensate and become as strong as, if not stronger than the males or we will upset feminists" dynamic
I dont mind who is in it as long as the cgi is a mix of "its actually their" mechanics to hark back to the original and no love interest focused crap with the female looking good all the time and no pointless "wet look moments". Then again the trailer already smacks of that being the focus ... so Sigourney Weaver part 2 I assume (and then hope not).
Oh and the woman's head explodes into a spider along with many others.
Also I hope they dont latch onto this back story of alien invasion of the future (our time) to fit in with all other alien crap lately.

@Solidsnake ... I thought your sig was quite ironic
That was actually a quote from my squad leader in an old unit i was in. But bitches are cute i dont want them dying. People arent cute and lovable so i dont care. I love bitches. I have 3 of them.
