Description
*Very* different from previous comics. For one, this is the first that takes place on Earth instead of whatever ponified Hollywood Equestria the others exist in.And two, technically has no real ponies. Go figure. Does that make this a misnomer? Ah well.
Could the Thing mimic a Pony? Well, it doesn't have to worry about being a perfect copy, so I don't see why not. It certainly seemed fine with guesswork and improvisation in dispatching Base 31.
If you've not seen the 1982 "The Thing", you need to. Do it now. Go!
And no, I will never be addressing the 2011 version. That's all there is to say about the matter.

Why does Octavia make such a good otherworldly horror?

I don't care if I died and got absorbed, i would still hug the Octy pony!

Yeah I'd probably hug it even if it melted me into goo in the process...
You HAD to use Octy.

Fucking great someone actually remembers the old "thing" movie rather than the poor excuse for a movie that was made in 2011.
I salute you sir!

Hah! Good stuff.
And this poster speaks the truth. For all you uninformed out there, open a window to your soul and let John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece in.
And then let Howard Hawk's excellent-and-completely-different 50's version in as well.
Don't let the new one in, though. You leave that one out in the cold.

Did you ever see the 1970's version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"?
It has Leonard Nimoy.
We must never sleep again... Seth already has us beat on that point.

Awesome movie. Awesome comic! I am of course referring to the original 1982 version. I refuse to see the new one.

wouldve made more sense with pinkie...but that would be too obvious

The 2011 one was ok in my opinion. But the 82 one was epic!

Hum, dilemma. If the thing looked like Octavia, would I still hug it...

can i ask what octavia was doing there to get absorbed?, btw brohoof for being a fan of The Thing
π: 0 β©: 1
I assumed that the absorption was only required when making a "perfect copy". Certainly the Thing showed great creativity with making on the fly modifications to itself in defense. If it didn't need to perfectly 'mimic' something, it could probably go for a very close proximity- given time anyways.

never think about that one, but since in the movie it always gets a guy alone to kill and create a copy of it thats why i asked xD but i remember the walking head that was hilarious on the movie

Octavia is The Thing? MY GOD IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!

The thing is definitely one of my favorite scary movies -- ever. I was really let down by the most recent prequel.

How about the original 1950s version? Or the original short storyββWho Goes There?β
π: 0 β©: 1
its so hard to find people who read "Who Goes There?" So far, the only two(besides you) that I know of are my dad, and me.

I've read both it, and watched the "The Thing From Another World". Good stuff, all, though I do love my 1982 Carpenter.

Heh! Actually, Iβve only heard of itβIβve never had the opportunity to read it. I suppose I should; itβs considered a classic of the SF genrΓ©.

Well, it could mimic dogs, so I see no problem with ponies.

There was no 2011 version, what are you talking about? You're crazy talking. That's crazy talk.

I wonder why they never made any more Highlander movies.

I loved the Thing for its special effects. Especially for the time the movie was made. The horror factor not so much. Agreed about the recent "prequel", it tried too hard to be the original. Way too hard.
This would however explain all those Octo-Octavia pics that have been showing up lately.

I loved the original, definitely one of my favorite sci fi movies of all time!

The Thing is ... probably not my absolute favorite horror/scifi movie.. but it's definitely top 10.
