Joe (148 KP) created a post in Unanswered Movie Endings

Apr 12, 2018 (Updated Apr 12, 2018)  
So, I’ll kick things off with the 1982 The Thing… This post could divide opinions but I’d love to know what you guys think. Oh, and ***SPOILERS AHEAD*** for anybody who hasn't seen this movie.

My theory is that Childs is infected and Mac is not. The main reason being that Childs drinks from the bottle that I believe was being used as a Molotov cocktail. After Childs takes a sip from the bottle, Mac gives a grin as if to say he knows he’s infected because he was drinking gasoline instead of whiskey, and since Childs is infected he doesn't know the difference in taste. I’m almost certain some of you will tell me that it’s confirmed in the Playstation 2 game of The Thing from 2002 but personally I don’t think there should be any connection between the two. If my memory serves me correct, you don’t ever see Mac in the PS2 game?…

Either way, let me know what your theory of the ending is.

Good point, I watched it again a while ago. Not sure if it's gasoline in the bottle. You do get a feeling Childs is infected but at that point knows the place is about to blow up.
