“Yes, I know. I know who’s the Thing and who’s not in the very end,” he said during an interview with ComicBook.com. But if you were hoping for any elaboration, then keep on hoping. “Nope,” Carpenter added when probed for more information. “Cannot tell you. Sorry,”

It was pretty much the same answer he gave SYFY WIRE last summer: “I know, but I’m not telling you … I just feel like it’s a secret that must be kept. The gods came down and swore me to secrecy.”

    Haha all good, I do like that theory. At what point could one of the passengers have affected Kurt Russell on the helicopter?

    And then the blood test works against this hypothesis as well since his blood doesn’t react to heat right?

    I definitely think that you can patch together this theory somehow, I’m just curious about those two points.

    Now that we’ve been talking about it though, I want to watch it again to try and work things out. I know I’m just going to get caught up and how good the movie is though haha

      1. It would have been off camera, and I think it was palmer and the doc (who goes crazy shortly after) that went. Palmer could have been the silhouette to the dog goes to at the beginning.

      2. He comes back into the storage room where bennings gets taken over. Bennings had the keys to the locker and dropped them in that storage room. He could have easily tampered with the blood for the tests. Using his old blood then draining everyone else’s. We never see him cut himself.

        Oh okay. Love it, thanks.

        I’ll watch it again with this in mind. Hm. But then if he tampered with the blood, the theory is that he deliberately let that one blood test fail and executed part of himself to convince the others of his humanity?

          The keys fell out of bennings jacket. He comes in through that same storage room. He could have easily been the one to have contaminated the blood. Used his original blood and drained everyone else’s.

            That’s what I mean, so following macs access to the blood via the keys, the theory is that mac purposely made one test fail in front of the humans so he could kill part of himself and convince the humans he was human?

                That could work. It would ultimately be less suspicious than if everyone turned out human in the test after they know something is going on.
