Can The Thing assimilate a host if they're already dead?
Something that popped into my head last night!
shareYes, compare the two photos of Fuchs being impaled with a shovel: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thethingfanfr/deleted-scenes-pictures-t4602.html
shareThank you for sharing. I know next to nothing about the lore. Would you be so kind to provide some context for the picture in question?
shareFuchs wanted to do an experiment involving the weed stash taken by Palmer, who was already a thing. Palmer decided to do an experiment of his own by impaling him with a shovel while trying to assimilate him. He drained him of his lifeforce.
The thing has the ability to regenerate. Notice how the Blair thing didn't need glasses anymore when he grabbed Garry.
Oh yeah! I vaguely remember that scene you're talking about.
