I dug up an old post of mine with some thoughts on the plot of the film:

"I don't see a problem with Fuchs' death (other than the way the power goes out, as well as his idiotic reaction, but hey – it's a fucking horror movie; no artistic license and no silliness; no movie); limited availability to information is the entire premise of the movie. One possibility is that he burned himself after he was attacked, whether accidentally or intentionally, and another is that the monster burned his remains.

There are some serious credibility (logical) flaws, though, without including cases of artistic license (e.g Fuchs' comments above and kennel scene lack of lighting and noise), or reasonable cases of less than reasonable behavior, under the duress of the circumstances:

– Norwegian hilarity and extreme incompetence. Failing to hunt down a dog; for an hour or more; in a helicopter over an open area; with grenades and rifles; before instead managing to kill yourself with them is pretty fucking impressive. I appreciate and respect the running gag, though; Swedes have been running it for hundreds of years.
– Bled-to-death, frozen Norwegian. For some reason, I doubt that the blood would have coagulated and frozen mid-air, with hardly any of it reaching the ground. You could easily argue that this falls within artistic license, though.
– Dog-thing hoisting itself through the ceiling of the kennel, the next moment being on the ground with those parts nowhere in sight. Where did they go? Did some of the creature escape?? Wouldn't the characters have noticed and reacted accordingly??? You could argue that this falls within artistic license, though.
– Crew member reactions to gained information. Mostly notably, Blair and Fuchs' reactions to learning of the creature living, and some very ambitious and unscientific conclusions made by Blair, especially as read in his notebook(s), by Fuchs. – Blair's super-computer. I can get over the fact that it's fucking retro, but don't pretend that you have ready-made software at all – let alone accurately – capable of calculating every kind of probability and spread of a cellular infection that's unlike anything known to anyone on the planet (and sure as fuck not supported by any pre-existing computer program), or that Blair manages to learn enough about its properties and (re)program the software in less than 12h – even if he were Leonardo da Vinci reincarnate & 2.0, with access to the greatest technology in the world, in 2020. What's worse is that explicitly stating the implications for humanity of the alien monster isn't meaningful in the first place, nor is it necessary to do so in a way that undermines the credibility of the film, should you insist on stating them. – MacReady picking up a flashlight, conveniently found next to the helicopter. Why couldn't they just have him on his person??? – The entire crew trusting Garry with the revolver, when it's just been proven highly likely that he's infected, and the subsequent suspicion towards him, after (as opposed to before) he voluntarily offered his weapon up. – For one reason or another, let's accept that MacReady and Nauls went – unescorted – to the former's shack only to turn off the light, under those circumstances. Nothing human could have made it back on its own, the hundred yards along a lit path in a moderate storm??? – The distrust of MacReady after he didn't take multiple opportunities to kill everyone else. – The solid wall that in-flames Palmer runs through. TopKEK. – Blair's carnivorous, cavernous project. I can't believe that Carpenter willfully undermined the plot's credibility simply to communicate that the creature wants to leave the base, which is undesirable (to communicate) in the first place. Please reference "Blair's super-computer" above, too. The major problems here are: Knowledge, material & time constraints. – Garry, MacReady and Nauls reacting to the power going out by immediately resorting to suicide, without so much as checking the generator, first."


Ooh, a Halloween special from Emp right before I get to decorating! This is absolutely spooktacular!


I love how half the comments are pissed the credit used among us instead of literally every other game that depends on manipulation and convincing, borderline disregarding the review.

Never change Internet.


Why the Fuck does the guy who recommends goofy YTPs to Internet Historian make such a amazing and through provoking analysis of such a film?


Great video, but I strongly disagree with your assessment that humans respond to any type of overwhelming stress or hardship with paranoia and mistrust. How humans respond depends a lot on the specific situation. When Britain was bombed in the second world war, almost every economist expected there to be complete national chaos and paranoia. Looting, murder etc. What actually happened was solidarity amongst (most) British citizens; many of them shared food supplies, helped rebuild houses etc. The reason why the characters in the thing react so negatively is SPECIFICALLY because this sense of solidarity is completely eliminated because of the mistrust that is caused by the simple nature of the monster.

Edit: grammar


Great analysis on my favorite horror movie. I know what im watching on the 31st!


Watching this film when I was young, I would always just watch it purely for the effects. As years have gone on though you really take in consideration how smart and just expertly crafted this film is, even with the limited ranged score. I watched it last night and it gets better and better with every year.


MF Doom, grade A vegan AND an incredible talent. What more could you want from a humble youtuber?


They should make an actual game of The Thing


I really love this channel, I love you Emp


I wish my school essays were as well put together as your videos emp


The thing is amazing cause cosmic horror is hard to do in movies


How dare people not find this movie to be the masterpiece it was of its time.


From memes, politics, pro wrestling, smash bros,  to jumping from space, and now The Thing? Next hes gonna talk about the food industry<br>Edit: lmao rip video youtube took it out by the shed and shot it

Edit: lmao rip video youtube took it out by the shed and shot it

@Tout va Bien I don't think that video would be very successful so hopefully he doesn't make it.

Why the Meat industry wants to use you. Title of next vid 😆

@Matthew Is Cool I sincerely hope you're joking because vegan diets have consistently been associated with lower all-cause as well as cause-specific mortality for several decades at this point. The amount of people who seem derive their sum total of nutritional knowledge from quacks talking shite on YT is truly mind boggling at times.

@Tout va Bien is emp actually vegan? jeez we'll probably only get another year of high quality uploads before malnourishment and protein deficiency destroys his mind. SAD!

Everybody Youtube should be subscribed to this channel, something has to interest u lol

@Liravin it was taken down by youtube within moments and was unavailable for about 4-5 hours because it “violated Youtube’s community guidelines”

@Liravin youtube owned video a while ago but it's back

Emp is vegan, I bet he has a lot to say about it. Namely the fact that it's totally fucked and inhumane.


I personally think that both were Things at the end and the ending scene is just the creature having a conversation with itself about what its plan going forward is.


Fan Theory: When Macready fried the computer, that foreshadowed the end of where the whole camp was blown up.


Cant wait to see "is this among us in real life?" Comment


Actually McCready knows that childs is a thing, because in the end childs drinks the whisky, and if childs was human he wouldn't drink it, cuz they all know that the thing can infect humans through food and drinks, then we see McCready laughing because the thing fell for his trick

@pink god<br>Child's isn't the thing. The thing video game which carpenter said is canon. It explained in the game that child's died from hypothermia

@pink god
Child's isn't the thing. The thing video game which carpenter said is canon. It explained in the game that child's died from hypothermia

@Golden Brine Actually no, The thing couldn't kill him because it was freezing and McCready had a flamethrower

@LordVader1094 well, the thing first kills it's victims then becomes them
i think what you wanted to say is that childs was really cold and just couldn't think straight, so he drank the whisky
and McCready thought that childs is a thing that fell for his trick

There's also the element that Childes knows that if it's the thing he's not going to survive so he drinks anyway.


Recently The Thing has been popping up in my feed a lot, and now you've come around to cover the film. I'm excited for what you have in store.


I agree. The Thing is one of the most thought provoking horror/sci-fi movies ever created. Not to mention just plain scary. And certainly one of Kurt Russel's finest roles. For the first time I was able to completely disassociate Kurt from his role as Dexter Riley in the The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes; the 1969 Walt Disney movie seen in my youth. I'm fairly sure I helped start the cult following as I had always championed this movie.

Not mentioned is that this movie is a remake of the 1951 pre-Gunsmoke James Arnes version, The Thing (From Another World). Same arctic setting, but completely innocuous compared to this one.


well researched but not dull
well thought out but not over analyzed
i didnt know i could love this movie any more than i already dead but here we are

subbed


I love how a good chunk of this video is just lecturing Roger Ebert for not getting the point while offering counterarguments, lmao.


The Thing, E.T, Poltergeist, Bladerunner, the list goes on. Man 1982 was a fucking awesome year for movies.


Whoa. Such a good analysis. This movie seems very interesting.

Trust is really something so contradictive to survival and nature when there are mechanisms that take advantage of trust, even when unknowingly. It's the thing that makes us society, and also one of the greatest weaknesses.


I always get blown away when I see someone else reference Klay World... sometimes I feel like that was just a fever dream I had when I was 8 lol


Thank god this is back. I wanted to watch it this morning but it seemed to have been pulled 😰


I like to think kino gets all these larger youtubers to work with him just because he's a nice guy


YouTube really killed all chances of this video doing amazing which sucks because Emp puts so much work into these videos for us


I like to think that both the  nihilistic view and idealist view exist. While we have seen all of the themes in the thing in real life, the same can be said for Idealists. Thanks to people who trusted anyway and banded together, humanity has been able to overcome great obstacles. I think we will see that again. While people may be falling into this nihilistic mindset, there are others who will rise to the occasion and defeat the present threat as well as the threat humanity imposes on itself when it begins to loose it's way.


The last scene made me thought that the protagonist was infected the rest with the bottles of alcohol. One character said that they should eat canned food to not get infected.


14:40 "When you lose faith in the world, your mind becomes your own prison" - EmpLemon.

How dare you to say something so controversial, yet so brave.


only gripe I had with the film was the blood testing scene. removed so much ambiguity.


amazing how bad critics are at judging actual movies


Let’s be honest here. Both Blade Runner and THIS make E.T. look like shit. And honestly Roger Ebert’s review really didn’t age well. Considering how much the thing has that many horror films today are lacking. And to say the story and characters became secondary is nonsense. It has probably one of my favourite character moments in the entire film. Kurt Russell is playing chess on a commodore computer and thinks he’s gonna win. But then loses and just after the female voice from the computer says “Checkmate! Checkmate!. Proceeds to pour his drink down the computer and then says “Cheating bitch”.


I always thought the UFO it crash lands in was another alien species that fell victim to the thing and crashed on earth.


God i love these videos, I recommend everyone never ever all the time now


This movie used to scare the shit out of me as a kid, but I went back time and time again.


Wow deep ideology take I sure love it when entertainers start talking politics its always so fun


Am I misunderstanding what you said, or did you actually say @8:50 that “three quarters of a million people” within the U.S. were infected with HIV by the end of the '80s?

There were around 100,000 cases of HIV reported in the U.S. by the end of the '80s; where in the world did you get that “3/4ths of a million” figure from?

How has seemingly no one (that I can see) commented on this? lol I am extremely confused. Apologies in advance if I’m misunderstanding something.


Roger Ebert has always been kind of dull, and his review of the Thing is what proved it.


Good to see Klay world, also it scares me how this movie is pretty similar to recent times


I wouldn't call that "murder" a murder. Dude had malicious intent with that biscuit.


YOU GUYS GONNA TRUST EMPLEMON?! HE COULD BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS!!


Watching you branching out your content over so many diverse topic has been so wild, I love it. I love to see you getting into films now, and I can't wait to see where you go next.


not gonna lie, I'm sure he's done it before but the live action Emp at the end rustled the shit outta my jimmies


ngl 18:25 probably made me laugh harder than anything else in the last like six weeks.


starting to really feel like this channel need more subs but at the same time, the lack of subs makes this channel free to do what he wants to do.

mixed feelings about this


I like to get drunk af and watch this movie in the cold with my German Shepard. Talk about immersion.


It genuinely warms my heart too see my favorite channel make a video on my favorite horror film. Great as always, emp!


Great video and your logic is on point ...Thanks


Fun fact: the person who fly the plane tried to warn the group about the dog being the monster, but they didn't understand him due to him speaking Norwegian


You are truly a jack of all trades for videos topics!


the fact that this video doesnt have over 1m views is really annoying. cmon youtube ~ but i guess it shows emps audience that even when videos arent promoted over 300,000 will still be watching.


I don’t think most of your points line up with the movie but I get your narrative aspect


And it went on to inspire horror movie monsters everywhere.


<i>The Thing’s</i> creature design has had almost as much impact on my own creature design process as HP Lovecraft’s. And that’s not something I say lightly.

_The Thing’s_ creature design has had almost as much impact on my own creature design process as HP Lovecraft’s. And that’s not something I say lightly.


The Thing only gets better with every watch


I can't help but agree with you Lemon. This is a movie far ahead of it's time. I thought the movie was great when I first watched it years ago and now due to the pandemic forcing us in isolation, I felt that both the pandemic and your video essay of The Thing make me relate to this movie so much more now than I did when I first watched it. Now I consider it one of the best horror movies I've ever watched. I just wish this movie got a better review on opening night because it's backlash back then feels very unwarranted nowadays


You are a video smith my friend. Your command over visual media and presentation is a beautiful skill 💪😤👍


Name another channel that transitioned so gracefully from ear bleeding YTP to insightful commentary on things that are uniquely relevant to our culture


An alternate title: There will Never Ever be a 80's Horror that's reflect's current society as John Carpenter: The Thing


Maybe for Christmas, you could keep with the theme of a movie that flopped in its time but was appreciated later and make a video of sorts on "It's A Wonderful Life"


gosh DAAAAARN your content is PHENOMENAL. I watch your ads every time I can. Amazing video, I'll be watching the movie soon


I watched The Thing a couple days ago, I decided to rewatch it due to seeing a poster of the movie in Stranger Things and because of Among Us


Did I ask for an EmpLemon video diving into The Thing? No.<br>Am I gonna watch the whole thing multiple times? Of fucking course

Did I ask for an EmpLemon video diving into The Thing? No.
Am I gonna watch the whole thing multiple times? Of fucking course


Hey EMPU, you should do a never ever on the AVGN. I think it would be awesome.


Love the choice of half life as background music, keep it up! :)


Always disagreed with the notion that Macready is a murderer for shooting Clark. Clark had a scalpel in his hand, so Macready was defending himself.


I often cringe at the CGI horror of our time that's indiscernible from the background, but Rob Bottins effects reaaaaaally pop out. I'm not usually actually scared by horrors but, the things from "The Thing"... Those things really scare me


Film critics saying a really good movie is bad, imagine my shock


honestly recently I've been missing practical effects


Petition to have the sequel prequel released without the edited in cgi. The version exists, completely latex models, but higher ups demanded cgi later, completely missing the homage.


This movie is really deep, but definitely like Among us.

Among us was inspired by the movie. The necromorphs from the Dead Space series were also inspired by the alien in the film.


The Thing is for Horror as Speed Racer is for Sci-Fi action films.


nice vid to watch here in the car while eating :p

@SQuinGedSUB it’s a joke on Emp’s channel because a while back he made a video talking about how most subscribers to youtube channels don’t actually watch the channel’s videos (e.g. Pewdiepie has >100m subs but doesn’t get anywhere near that many views) and he made a joke of repeatedly asking “CAN YOU UNSUBSCRIBE??”. It was a Downward Spiral type thing

Wtf Im doing the exact same thing hahaha

Bruh alienmyth you better be makin alien goes to the store

Im kinda jealous cause here I am just poopin.

Love you're vids man, just wanted to tell ya


This is FAR TOO FUCKIN' INTERESTING to watch by myself, I hope it's still here next time I can get it in front of a small audience lol.


your channel is like my go to for anything i seem to love

from Spogebob to Video Games to Horror

would love for you to talk about anime someday


Finally watched the movie so I can finally watch the last Emplemon video I haven't


I don't think that assessment of Macready was very fair. It makes it sound like he's more flawed than he actually is.  A lot of what he did in the film boiled down to desperation in the face of terrible odds and existential crisis. Also, a Virus is considered a form of life, a shitty one, but a form of life none the less.

It's not actually confirmed that a virus is alive. And if some say it is, there will be others who disagree. From what I've seen, there's not a consensus as it's still a topic of debate.


EmpLemon is now gonna start making movie reviews?

This is the best day ever.


Fun fact. Writer Peter Watts has a short story that tells the movie's events from the perspective of the alien. Interesting read.


I never watched E.T., but I have seen The Thing about a quadrillion times.


"when you lose all faith in everything around you all you become is a prisoner in your own mind"


Reminds me of the book (and movie) Needful Things, where the worst part isn't the literal demon living in the town, but the actions of the townsfolk.


wow an emplemon video on my favorite horror/scifi movie?<br>FUCK YEAH HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YALL!

wow an emplemon video on my favorite horror/scifi movie?
FUCK YEAH HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YALL!


Who'd of thought that a YTPer would become an essay maker?


0:38 Blade Runner did not have a successful debut though. It underperformed initially and had mixed reviews, but it later became a cult classic.


Watched the thing tonight just so I could watch this video, I didn’t realize how much this movie sums up 2020. Among us and covid 19


“When you lose all faith in the world around you, you become a prisoner trapped in your own mind”


I feel as if this video speaks volume not only in our 2020 Pandemic but the tragedy of politics in America today.


To be honest this is why there is so many atemporal pieces of art that it might not significate anything on the beggining but later on that makes more sense on the world and whats happening. Anyways Lemon glad to see you have reinvented yourselft and did not went into a downwards spiral


Your content makes me feel like a smart-ass


Great insightful video. F YT and their inconsistent nonsense. Keep up the great work :D


"They were taking a blood test when a big ugly thing burst into the room."


If they ever decide to do another The Thing as a sequel, one thing. Get actual practical effects. Another thing that I’d be interested in is what would happen if it was released in the world, the story takes place in a small town. Already we’ve got the idea of a pandemic, and the beginning of the pandemic where people are equally distrustful of others and try to seek out others because of their loneliness. If you wanted to worldbuild, you could see how a government would go about trying to test each person, the conspiracies that would form, the fact that you CAN burn it and some people have seen loved ones be brutally taken over means they’re more than willing to torch anyone they believe is different... in the small town, it’s full of people like this. Some seem like idiots, but it’s only that they’re firmly ignorant. This could have LOTS of potential, story-wise, character-wise and worldbuilding and allegorical-wise... just please, for the love of god make it practical.


Theres a theory at the end that the other worker not mccready wasnt drinking alcohol but rather drinking  Oil. And when he passes mccready the bottle mccready gives him this look of "You son of a bitch, well played."  But you can also  see the fear and irritation in his face. Or he was just having one last drink with his friend.


I actually found out about The Thing from this video, lol. It reminds me a lot of a SciFi horror novel I wrote a few years back. Basic premise was that there was an alien monster that could transform into whatever it wanted to and could also absorb the memories and personality of any organic lifeform it consumed the brains of. And this creature ended up on a space ship, where everyone ended up going completely mad while the monster slaughtered them. It's so eerily close to The Thing's premise that I actually thought I had seen the movie beforehand and forgotten about it then ripped it off subconsciously. But, strangely enough, my inspiration for the novel was Venom from Marvel Comics.

There are major differences between The Thing and the monster in my novel. Which I never actually ended up naming other than the nickname of Shapeshifting Alien (outside of the novel). The monster from my novel didn't have to assimilate anyone to shapeshift into them, it just had to know what they looked like. It could also transform into whatever its mind could come up with. It ate people instead of assimilating them, as well as being able to take over their minds with a direct connection to their brains. The creature had a true form unlike The Thing, which was revealed in the novel multiple times. It was also less animalistic and more cold and calculating. The general theme of my monster was to put humans in the boots of the hunted. To portray the creature as essentially what animals would see a human as: An incomprehensible foreign lifeform that possesses superior mental and physical capabilities and kills indiscriminately.

If anyone is interested I could edit the novel, upload it onto Google Docs and share it here with you all. I'd just have to find it first.


Actually, if we're going by the video game and comic book canon of the franchise, we do see what happens to McReady and Childs. Childs dies but McReady survives.


He did not MURDER Clark. Clark came at him with a scalpel and deadly intent. You're entitled to self defense.


Man this never showed up in my subscriptions! The Things is one of my favorites!


Hopefully the Coronavirus doesn't have covid Huskies cause I'll be screwed


This fucking website sucks but this channel is top quality. Emp on nearly every aspect of your videos you manage to do everything every “commentary” YouTuber tries to do but infinitely better. Great editing, great research, great topics, and even the damn music is great.


Was BLOWN AWAY the first time I saw this movie a couple years ago


Mcreddy was the thing.
Tainted the alcohol and came back to check if changed yet.
Then infected Childs at the end and had a good laugh about it.


7:14 He was literally about to stab him with a scalpel.


Love the movie! You kinda lost me a few times, I mean the arguments were decent but the big difference was MacReady was right. Alot of them saw first hand what this thing was and what it was capable of where as when you try and compare it to something like corona or aids either information was inaccurate or people did not know or see the full extent. And MacReady defended himself from a guy trying to stab him. The creature or thing tried to set him up by stuffing his clothes in the furnace making it look like MacReady turned and ripped through his clothes. The creature was intelligent and tried to manipulate them.

@Niko To be frank It was rather early when I said that

@AbstractTraitorHero that's literally the opposite sort of framing, this is framing from the internal infected to the external

I mean the aids pandemic also was manipulated as was the current coronoavirus one, with constant framing of others for it being their fault and as well as information being with held from the public.


there will NEVER EVER be another horror movie like the 1982 remake of The Thing...except for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining


<b>"this video contains spoilers"</b> well damn. This is only my favorite film of all time, so I haven't seen it yet. Better watch it

*"this video contains spoilers"* well damn. This is only my favorite film of all time, so I haven't seen it yet. Better watch it


Just saw The Thing last night for Halloween. Great timing to find this Emplemon recommendation (even though I didnt get the notification, thanks youtube)


How the FUCK is your content of such consistently high quality? Seriously, I watch your uploads near religiously now.


While the video is well put together, its quite disappointing to see a stark lack of credit. The video contains many key phrases which can be found on the Wikipedia article alone, but you portray them as your own original ideas. For example, the comparison between the chess game and the overall film should be credited to Diabolique's Daniel Clarkson Fisher.


I think that one of reasons why the Thing was hated so much back then was because it showed how humans truly are. Now the time we live in is parallel to even the movie its self. People paranoid, hurting each other, and keeping them self locked away from humanity. Driving the feeling of pure isolation and fear of fellow man. Truth is humanity has always been this way. We just needed a foreign thing to show us. Now I'm not getting all "humanity is the worse thing to exist" or anything like that. Humans bring good. Although we bring a lot of bad as well. It really does make you think ya know. On a side note I use to have faith in humanity for stopping outbreaks. Not now. If the Thing existed we probably be done for lol. Amazing stuff as always Lemon. Have a good one and a Happy early Halloween! 🎃


Ok wait ..... you say Carpenters carrier went downhill after "The Thing" ???<br>buthe made "They Live" after that and " Escape from L.A."

Ok wait ..... you say Carpenters carrier went downhill after "The Thing" ???
buthe made "They Live" after that and " Escape from L.A."


7:41 well yes but actually no, watch Jack Saint’s video on the The Ideology of Apocalypse. Like really, they’re not wrong. Both types of scenarios exist, but one seems more plausible… though I do think that the Thing fundamentally would do everything to make everyone not trust each other so it can work… but that’s not how humanity is always, at least not in my opinion.


Your sociopolitical examination reminds me of the more blunt V for Vendetta, showcasing how the commonfolk can be manipulated deceptively easily.


This is the second old movie that looks good from definition prospective either its a coincidence or TV deserved death


Critics and audiences alike hating a carpenter film only to years later end up embracing the film.... sounds familiar.... oh yeah Halloween 3 had the same fate


Man that commercial at the end! Well done!


"They will be met with fire and fury". LMAO,   real memes come from the most unexpected places.


This movie is my favorite movie ever it’s so good


How peculiar! I recently watched the movie and this video shows up. Emplemon stop stalking me.


Dude MacReady didn’t murder Clark, he came at him with a scalpel.  That’s self defense not murder.


Seriously an underrated horror movie and one of my favorites. I remember watching it after it was already 10 minutes or so in so I got didn't get the space craft intro, which made it pretty fuckin crazy when the thing finally showed itself lol.

@Camm0Blue you guys are probably on the younger side

@Badabing Bing outside of some recent youtube videos, I've literally never heard anyone mention this movie. So maybe outside of my circle of friends, but it's weird because they all like horror movies too.

It can't be called underrated when it's considered one of best movies from the horror genre and everyone praises it.


Honestly I think the thing is a gross film because of all the gore I remember being a kid it actually looking away because of how realistic it looked. I was like under the impression that they had successfully shot the dog at the beginning of the film those Norwegians could have saved those Americans


Spokesman Abu Obeida of al-Qassam Gaming


these vids make me want to watch a movie


The Thing is one of the most timeless movies ever made. I dont think there will ever be a point where humans dont fear some form of imperceptible enemy.


I think there was A Comic that took place after The movie where the survivor( not Kurt russel) was revealed to be the thing. Makes sense to me, probably killed McCready a bit later.

I really doubt it canon and if it was it really ruins the point of the ending.


I don't get why the characters don't just interview each other regularily. Surely the thing can't speak English and even if it could it wouldn't imitate actual personalities and memories of an individual.


I can tell every one of the characters from The Thing by name, compared to something like the hobbit movies, i can't remember any of the dwarves by name, not even one.


Just watched this for the first time, great movie. Watched this video a year ago to the t.


spooky. very much fits the 2020 mood for my money


I'm still reeling that someone else remembers Klay World after all this time with that ending.


Wait, that South Park scene where they get head lice and Cartman has everyone put blood on culture plates was from this movie? You learn something new everyday


This is, in my opinion, the best horror movie of all time.


I saw that movie when i was like 11 and holy shit its so good


This is the greatest manscaped add with the ironic Thing clips


Remember, “Man is the warmest place to hide.”


Oh my god I loved that inclusion of Klay World lmao


by the time this was uploaded, i was watching the actual movie, like for real


Wow this is one of the best videos I’ve seen this year


Movie character's acting like real humans:<br>Movie critics: THIS IS SO UNREALISTICS!!

Movie character's acting like real humans:
Movie critics: THIS IS SO UNREALISTICS!!


I hate horror movies and this is still one of, if not one of my most beloved movies to watch. The atmosphere, soundtrack, and amazing body horror coupled with the fantastic character interactions always jelled so well. All elements are so meditatively done. It just knows how fast to burn, when to hit the fan, and what little hints to give the audience to really just get under your skin.

I've always loved Emp's attitude, but his application of topics and similar personal media tastes make this channel a favorite to me. Each new video, especially within the last year or so have been a real treat. Please, don't stop making documentary style videos


Your vids get better and better each time


I hope this version doesn't get taken down again.


Will we be able to find the Thing and destroy it before we are too isolated to do anything?


I swear this man has the same taste as me in literally everything. Starting to freak me out.


I'd love to see an EmpLemon video on the movie Watchmen


Is it just me, or is Emp uploading more often?


They didn't have a good leader. They just had the most belligerent man in the room making all the decisions, that's what I got out of the movie


Calculon's back!<br>I watch half of this yesterday then came back and it had been TOS'd. Glad it's back up and I get to finish this video

Calculon's back!
I watch half of this yesterday then came back and it had been TOS'd. Glad it's back up and I get to finish this video


Getting an age restricted warning on an Emplemon video, you just know this is going to be a great one.


Aaah I was JUST watching loads of vids on the thing, rlly glad emp made something on it too


CORRECTION: It was the monster that chopped up the chopper; not Blair. Later on, the plot itself literally points this out, through McReady.

Dug up an old post of mine that I think is interesting:

 I don't see a problem with Fuchs' death (other than the way the power goes out, as well as his idiotic reaction, but hey – it's a fucking horror movie; no artistic license and no silliness; no movie); limited availability to information is the entire premise of the movie. One possibility is that he burned himself after he was attacked, whether accidentally or intentionally, and another is that the monster burned his remains.

There are some serious credibility (logical) flaws, though, without including cases of artistic license (e.g Fuchs' comments above and kennel scene lack of lighting and noise), or reasonable cases of less than reasonable behavior, under the duress of the circumstances:

– Norwegian hilarity and extreme incompetence. Failing to hunt down a dog; for an hour or more; in a helicopter over an open area; with grenades and rifles; before instead managing to kill yourself with them is pretty fucking impressive. I appreciate and respect the running gag, though; Swedes have been running it for hundreds of years.
– Bled-to-death, frozen Norwegian. For some reason, I doubt that the blood would have coagulated and frozen mid-air, with hardly any of it reaching the ground. You could easily argue that this falls within artistic license, though.
– Dog-thing hoisting itself through the ceiling of the kennel, the next moment being on the ground with those parts nowhere in sight. Where did they go? Did some of the creature escape?? Wouldn't the characters have noticed and reacted accordingly??? You could argue that this falls within artistic license, though.
– Crew member reactions to gained information. Mostly notably, Blair and Fuchs' reactions to learning of the creature living, and some very ambitious and unscientific conclusions made by Blair, especially as read in his notebook(s), by Fuchs. – Blair's super-computer. I can get over the fact that it's fucking retro, but don't pretend that you have ready-made software at all – let alone accurately – capable of calculating every kind of probability and spread of a cellular infection that's unlike anything known to anyone on the planet (and sure as fuck not supported by any pre-existing computer program), or that Blair manages to learn enough about its properties and (re)program the software in less than 12h – even if he were Leonardo da Vinci reincarnate & 2.0, with access to the greatest technology in the world, in 2020. What's worse is that explicitly stating the implications for humanity of the alien monster isn't meaningful in the first place, nor is it necessary to do so in a way that undermines the credibility of the film, should you insist on stating them. – MacReady picking up a flashlight, conveniently found next to the helicopter. Why couldn't they just have him on his person??? – The entire crew trusting Garry with the revolver, when it's just been proven highly likely that he's infected, and the subsequent suspicion towards him, after (as opposed to before) he voluntarily offered his weapon up. – For one reason or another, let's accept that MacReady and Nauls went – unescorted – to the former's shack only to turn off the light, under those circumstances. Nothing human could have made it back on its own, the hundred yards along a lit path in a moderate storm??? – The distrust of MacReady after he didn't take multiple opportunities to kill everyone else. – The solid wall that in-flames Palmer runs through. TopKEK. – Blair's carnivorous, cavernous project. I can't believe that Carpenter willfully undermined the plot's credibility simply to communicate that the creature wants to leave the base, which is undesirable (to communicate) in the first place. Please reference "Blair's super-computer" above, too. The major problems here are: Knowledge, material & time constraints. – Garry, MacReady and Nauls reacting to the power going out by immediately resorting to suicide, without so much as checking the generator, first.


"The Thing", Also Known as "the Masterpiece"


Your package comes with two free gifts. I see what you did there.


Funny, "instant junk" is how I'd describe most journalists so it checks out.


OH MY GOD that old Claymation channel was the best


Why would a reviewer criticize a horror film for being "totally devoid of either warmth or humanity," is that not the entire poitn?


I literally watched this movie just last week in a watch along with a streamer. what an odd coincidence. also nice video


IM SO SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP THE CHESS METAPHOR


Pretty sure the body horror is the most scary part.


You need to Read the source material, who goes there. You just did The most woke review of the thing ever.


That blows my mind that this movie didn't do well at release.


EmpLemon uploading a movie review of The Thing?

“…And there’s nothing wrong with me. And if there was, I’m all better now.”


18:27 thank you for reminding me of this, holy shit its been forever since i binged on klay world


This is your best video yet. I'm sorry for what Youtube did to it


I love this movie, I love this video about it, and I'm so sorry that YouTubr screwed you over with it


great vid as usual<br>that l4d music is fucking amazing aswell

great vid as usual
that l4d music is fucking amazing aswell


Absolutely loved seeing Klay world in there


A video about the Thing with Goosebumps soundtrack, Emp really is a cultured man.


I disagree with the assertion that The Thing is cosmic horror. Body horror? Yes. Psychological horror? Certainly. But cosmic horror? Not really. Macready understands the entity. It's not incomprehensible. It's not a story about the inadequacy of human comprehension or the indifference of the universe (hence the 'cosmic' part of cosmic horror).


That MF DOOM reference at the end was so good. Rapp snitch knisches.


Among Us, but they actually can make sure the imposter don’t do more damage


I feel like this video could also describe Kane & Lynch 2 a bit as well


Anytime EmpLemon uploads I'm watching. Doesn't matter what the subject matter is.


Not gonna lie. As a kid I found E.T. far scarier than anything else. I saw Alien when I was 6. But E.T. gave me nightmares not Alien. And this was a movie that was being shown during the day as a family movie. It's a fucking body horror nightmare.


How many more videos do we need on this movie


When I learned of the among us game I instantly thought of this movie


2:56 - when you try to sound deeper and more mature but end up sounding like a bass-boosted Nerdstalgic


I watched "The Thing" 1892 just to watch this video AND I DONT REGRET FILM, but i regret the video... I hate those analogies of physical and mental things like, damn, of course they are similar because MENTAL humans live in PHYSICAL world, so we must copy or adapt its systems!


"Totally devoid of warmth and humanity", isn't that what would make the movie fucking amazing? Reviewers are always such pretentious hacks.


Im so glad you use Klayworld clips. Truly a forgotten gem of a wild west internet age.


The AIDS paranoia was some time after The Thing was made from what I remember.  That was more late 80s.  You show a picture of Ryan White.  That was around 1990


Did the crew ever see their film become a culture classic? If not that would be tragic...


18:32 it’s been a long time since I’ve seen klay world, I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers this internet classic


I think this would’ve made a good never ever but I do like still love this one


Darker and edgier, but still lemon fresh. Revoltingly satisfying.


The only thing scarier than the thing is emps  upload schedule


When the bio-morphing man-eating alien impostor is SUS!!


This movie almost feels like a modern version of Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”


people viewing everything through the lens of the coronavirus is one of the worst side effects of the coronavirus i think


Emp is slowly but surely making a face reveal every ad


I LITERALLY just watched this movie for the first time three days ago. Wierd.


5.40 The computer moved it's rook beside's MacReady's king. If he killed it with his rook or king, he'd still been safe, but the computer declared check mate after making it's last move. The computer actually did cheat!


Found when you still did ytps never saw you again until you asked us to unsubscribe so I subscribed, best decision I ever done on YouTube.


Bro i can definitely see how YouTube had their panties in a bunch over this vid. call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever but i think its because you mention hysteria and quarantine together with this horror movie... it upset the algorithm gods... maybe I'm wrong though


Love the little KLAY WORLD cameo. Haven’t thought about those in forever.


some people dont mind being alone, this movie  reinforces the virtue....


Watch the thing with sea shanty 2 music in the background I just laugh every time


i see a lot of reference to pink floyd's the wall i would love to see a video about that


I always thought at the end childs was the thing because when he takes the drink childs should've known it could've spread to him because he came in contact with Macreadys saliva on the bottle and then Macready knows he truly alone

@Niko plus how would the thing know what alcohol tastes like if it tried it before or gasoline

@Niko explain. Gasoline isnt a biological being that the THING can know exists.

@Niko it cant perfectly emulate a human for example when they were trying to figure out who sabatoged the blood palmer still had his headphones in during a time where a normal person wouldn't have his fucking headphones

@Paul Andreotti Just look at the clothes he was wearing before and in that scene, and you'll have your answer

@Dagda I was asking myself that when watching that scene, but wasn't sure.. Good to know there, thanks.

I took it to mean that it didn't really matter at that point. Whichever of them was human, they weren't going to survive without shelter anyway. Assuming either of them were the Thing, it'd just go back into hibernation. It's lose-lose at that point, so may as well have a drink.

@creamgravy1 Apparently, this was confirmed to have been just due to poor lighting.

@Paul Andreotti I guess the other thing is the extreme difference in their breathing. (Sorry, lost on the words) Seeing McCready's breath nonstop while nothing from Childs at all. It was very prevalent there..

I think it's the scene with the chess computer all over again: offering his adversary the fatal "drink". If I recall correctly, all of the beer bottles were filled with fuel to make Molotov cocktails. The alien doesn't know the difference between gasoline and an alcoholic drink, confirming to McCready that Childs is infected when he takes a sip with no reaction. Safe to say it's fate is sealed when it has imbibed the flammable substance, just like the computer.


I appreciate The Wall hammers and the other clip from the movie very nice


It would've been an easy win for the thing to just pee in the water supply.


It was really awful waiting to watch the second half of this because it was taken down as I was watching it


... Did the critics of that time know they were talking about the best horror movie of all time ?


I don’t know why people listened to Siskel and Ebert, “professional movie critics” my ass

Audiences at the time didn't like it either, and I doubt they were influenced by the critics much. They just liked E. T. and the other movies at the time more.


I always liked that movie because it is like game theory (not the youtuber.) but instead you don’t know which side won.


Humans acting more like the monsters was from the original short story where during the blood test, (more men in the short story) every time an imitation is revealed, the rest gleefully beat the creature to death


The actors not knowing what the mosnter looked like reminds me of alien and the chest-burster scene


"The Thing is Among us"<br>-guy from the movie

"The Thing is Among us"
-guy from the movie


it turns out in the end the bearded dude was taken over. i think the creators said that at one point

They left it ambiguous, neither person is confirmed to be The Thing. I'm pretty sure Carpenter himself said that one was infected, but never disclosed who.


I love the Goosebumps background music 😂


EMP, I just got out of school holy shit have I been waiting for a new video. Thanks for the new bus ride material. ♥♥ Love the vids and keep up the great work. I look forward to watching this.


I still watch it every year with my mother


It's been 14 years since I saw a Knox clay video. Nice little callback to it.


Do a never ever video on OJ Simpson. The trial is the most fascinating story ever


2:20 i know that if 2001 a space odyssey came out today it would've been so harshly criticized!


18:05 I don't care what universe you're from, what gender you are, or what race you're from... That's gotta hurt.


I'd say im glad youtube recommended me this but it did everything in its power not to


Sniiiiiiiiiiiifffff* aaaaaaaahhhh smells like 2015.

@Carst012 Emp literally made complaint videos on people doing that exact thing.

If he hate everything, does that mean he hate himself?


Shame they really age restricted it 😔 video still godly


Y'know this movie is based on the 1938 novella "Who Goes There?"


Damn son, wasn't expecting a klay world reference<br>pulling out the deep cuts I see

Damn son, wasn't expecting a klay world reference
pulling out the deep cuts I see


I literally just watched this movie because....because of Among Us (shamefully I say XD)

And it’s a classic. The critics back then were just as bad as the ones we have now.

@toongrowner1 Try Space Station 13, you'd like it.

@Cryo Judgement They are Eloi. Ignore them as they know no better and can’t help themselves.

among us fans when their task is to be funny

@Cryo Judgement  ah, i see. i have a quick question though: have you actually read the comments section? cause i see far more comments talking about the film.

@Neal Rame one comment justifying mccready killing the innocent crew member all the replies are saying hes sus and they're gonna vote him out. Not one comment has anything concerning the film

@Cryo Judgement show us literally one example

@Facundo Ruiz alot of people in these comments are lol

@Cryo Judgement dude, its just inspired by the thing. Nobody is acting like it's a licensed game for the original movie

Nah that's cringe. This movie is so different from among us. Among us has the basic basic concept of 1 imitator v multiple survivors. But the thing has lore in the film they go to the previous research base that the thing had inhabited and infected. You see one mans corpse entirely frozen with a razor in his hand and his throat slit. Frozen blood on the walls and the entire research station just abandoned. With sections of wall torn down and the room they find the thing in is the container where they were able to re freeze it until they thaw it out at the next base. And the differing personalities of the crew mates. Among us is niche. I played it 2 years ago when it released and thought yeah it is like the thing.  For a passing minute. But   people straight up comparing a McDonalds hamburger to the most premium beef patty bacon cheeseburger is kinda insulting to the original.

Heck, I started to play among us because it reminded me of this movie, which is my fav. horror movie of all time. So certainly can appreciate when this game inspires other to watch this classic masterpiece

@Tucker Mayatt completely agree, now when I insist to people that they must watch this movie at least they might take it into consideration because of among us. For the past 4 years whenever it would arise on a conversation they would ignore my suggestion to watch it

Nothing wrong with that. Trends may pass, only what we make of them remains.

Hey I’m just glad more people can appreciate this movie lol


Imagine pushing manscaped right before no shave november.


never expected from all the people. it would been you talking about the movie.


Great. Looks like YouTube finally removed age restriction for this video


Think you could review alfred Hitchcocks "The birds" after swwing that movie I went outside and just looked around at the birds outside in an entirely new light.


Wow I can't believe amogus is so popular they made a movie out of it


2:37 Lol I think I made an Among us meme about a month ago with this exact image or one very similar. When I played Among Us, I immediately thought of The Thing.


"It's you! You are the thing!"<br>Credits roll

"It's you! You are the thing!"
Credits roll


Imagine ruining a computer just because it beat you in chess


My favourite YouTuber did a video on my favourite movie! Wow!


Just in case: the text on the right poster on 11:39 says "The US Army is the weapon/tool of agression and robbery" (Армия США — орудие агрессии и разбоя)


"How will we make it?"

"Maybe we shouldn't"


You get extra brownie points for the inclusion of a klay world clip 😂


Idk about the ideology stuff. I mean I see the relation but I think the movie is stronger in the department of exploring human activity and interaction in crisis. Good vid tho.

I'm pretty sure in this instance the sponsors come first, second the ideological digs, and third the movie discussion. At the end of the video he credits another creator for the film analysis, so it is likely that emplemon is engaging in the same behavior he used to warn people about. Using his sponsors and large audience to profit off of smaller youtubers struggling to grow by having them ghost-write videos for him. He got a video restored by youtube in half an hour indicating he is at the very least on their good side. Based on the other videos of his I have seen, it stands out to me when someone who trains viewers in "content smuggling" and "working the algorithm" has a role in shaping the behavior of many youtubers on the platform. If his actions were contrary to what youtube wants it would be easy to shut him down, instead you get guaranteed fear-mongering, communists aren't bad, Trump bad, X is/isn't a hero, and all variations of "here's how you should feel about this topic" techniques typically associated with propaganda.


Thank you for not calling him "Rob BAWtin" its.. BO-TEEN.


I'm still getting ads. I watched em both for you. Love you Emp.


You should watch & discuss Invasion of the Body Snatchers next.


Dude your content has improved a lot since the start of this year. You now make your own different type of videos that are unique though some are better than others like your Rick and Morty than your video game video

Edit: hey it’s back


I was so shocked to see Klay World at the end of this video lmao I used to watch that all the time


emplemon didnt even used <b>that</b> clip from Meet the Spy from tf2, well done

emplemon didnt even used *that* clip from Meet the Spy from tf2, well done


18:04 anyone knows the link to that animation?


Puppets and animatronics will always look more creepier and scary to me than CGI bullshit nowadays.


If I ever hear the words “latex” (4:26) and “assimilation” (10:56) I am going to be very uncomfortable moving forward with the video.


Why is everyone talking about the Thing now wtf lol

It's always tome to talk about The Thing, because it's good.

Good movie, and to leech off of among us

Because that's what next month's crisis is going to be.

Scrubs thought it'd be cool after playing Among Us and cash in on the scramble to have some pseudo deep reviews that'll catch the eye of the algorithm. IE, Hahaha, look at how ideology divides us! Racism, class, birthplace, hahahaha! Epic win movie review that totally hasn't been explored and more intelligently before, funny memes from game will get me views as I play live action memes about it, hahaha!

While everyone missed the point. Go to 16:25 for your answer

@N N R U<br>"You like a movie, therefore you are a simp, hahaha le funni simp meme keanu chungus wholesome 100"

@N N R U
"You like a movie, therefore you are a simp, hahaha le funni simp meme keanu chungus wholesome 100"

Because Jerma played it. I mean that makes sense in my head.

Lmao deep state, please off yourself.<br>It’s Among Us, and that’s it

Lmao deep state, please off yourself.
It’s Among Us, and that’s it

Because it's the greatest horror movie and one of the best movies of all time.

Corona lockdown and Among us memes pretty much

I will say maybe bc of the deep staters? Airborne rabies - cdc sends their regards.

•October is spooky month
•Similarities to Among Us
•It’s a good movie

Among us being a popular game at the moment is my guess.


The reason I can enjoy the film is the same reason that I canNOT enjoy Ridley Scott's Alien prequels. The human cast in the thing is competent from start to finish, adapting to new information and changing strategy accordingly almost instantly. Whilst Prometheus and Covenant had some of the most stupid science guys I have ever seen in any scifi movie. You can't immerse your audience in your grand, philosophical, pseudointellectual themes when your movie fail to explain basic plot holes and character motivations. If only there is one guy like MaCready amongst the crew of Prometheus or Covenant, at least 5 guys would survive in both movies.


And worst of all, it could be any one of us. It could be in this very room. It could be you, it could be me, it could even be * head gets blasted off by a shotgun *
Woah Woah Woah!
Ooh
What? it was obvious, Clark’s a thing! watch he’ll start shaking any second now…any second now. See! Shaking! No wait, that’s me moving his body.
So we still have problem?
Big problem… Alright who’s ready to go burn a thing?
* Wet gurgling and roaring emits from behind Mac and Windows from Palmer. *


I never watched this movie but I remember watching Smosh's The Ditto.


2:24 roger erbert looks like the thing if it successfully became human but forgot putting on weight existed.


Did my favourite YouTuber just make a video on my favourite movie....?

Am I dreaming....?


Yay I can finally watch this video. Now if only Montizon wasn't such an evil god........


This is a comment for the algorithm wow what a great video how have more people not seen it. So great and cool and good and definitely monetizable... right?


now off to watch the drinker's review again and draw my conclusions about the movie


I'm glad you reuploaded the video, because I was very disappointed when it got removed the first time.


18:27 holy shit i forgot about these claymations. Thanks so much about to binge them again


Wow, I just watched it for the first time yesterday!


"THE THING: Horror in Isolation"<br>Yeah, but none of the twelve men were ever individually isolated.

"THE THING: Horror in Isolation"
Yeah, but none of the twelve men were ever individually isolated.

@Taylor :
Oh shit, you gotta be kidding me!  Blah, I saw the movie already myself.  You don't tell me about the movie, and you don't tell me what isolation does and does not mean.

@Code Optimization Ware You clearly don't get it if you are reading it purely literally. They were all mentally and socially isolated due to paranoia and distrust, even if they weren't physically isolated from each other.

@Taylor :
"Isolated" is not isolated.  They were isolated only as a group somewhere in the middle of the Antarctic continent.  None of them were isolated in any other true sense, not even Blair who was "isolated" with The Thing.

@Taylor :

Depends how define 'isolated'. They were, as a group, isolated from the rest of the world. They were, in smaller groups, isolated from each other. One of them was isolated by himself in quarantine. And they were all 'isolated' by their paranoia and distrust. Sure they were physically near each other, but they weren't truly 'together' in a co-operative sense. While MacReady had his group, he never truly trusted them as he did himself, meaning he was isolated as the only 'safe' person in his view. Just as all others viewed themselves as the only 'safe' person, again making them isolated.


He didn't "murder" Clark you dingus. Clark tried to kill him.


Fantastic Movie.<br>I always said the Alien is a fashist and the thing is a Comunist

Fantastic Movie.
I always said the Alien is a fashist and the thing is a Comunist


Spoilers:

Such a good movie with the exception of the intro (space ship) which ruins the mystery of what’s going on. Also Blair building a spaceship super fast under the cabin was sort of silly. Still in my top 3 movies though.

The last 15 minutes are sort of strapped together, Carpenter ran out of time and the dude behind special effects had to be hospitalized from over working.


Thank fuck this video wasn't deleted forever, was worried when I saw YouTube took this down


Cool, they made a game based on my social life

Do you eat people by putting your hand in their face?

I have a feeling that this film inspired Resident Evil


14:11 gonna need a link to someone actually saying this before this video was posted


Age restricted already, good ol' Susan W is back at it again

@Michael W. <b>I T 'S N E V E R O G R E</b>

A dudes stomach opens and amputated a guy at the forearms and then a dudes head grows spider legs and rips its head off then grows eyes. I dont think it was age restricted due to  PR.

@Anisomniac I watched it before it was temporarily taken down.

@Cassandra Pantaristi <b>always has been...</b>

@Cassandra Pantaristi *always has been...*

Last I checked, it was taken down due to "violating the guidelines."


I bet the same critics who slammed The Thing back in the 80s are praising it today. Critics don't know shit!


An emplemon video about my favourite movie ! Why am i only seeing this now??


it really ain't an emplemon video without the marching hammers or the 1984 mac advert is it


5:35 The computer actually cheated. It's why MacReady calls it a "cheatin' bitch".


Maybe the thing was the friends we made along the way


As a polish poet said: prophets won't be understood by their contemporaries, but by their grandchildren.


Pubic health emergency is my new favorite thing to say without context


stuff like what happened with the thing is why you shouldn't listen to film critics and decide for yourself whats good or not...


Who's here after EmpLemon released his latest video, exposing youtube?


what a coincidence, i just watched the thing yesterday and this showed up on the feed


as the thing aged better in time, these among us jokes have aged worse in time.<br>for gods sake emp what have you done

as the thing aged better in time, these among us jokes have aged worse in time.
for gods sake emp what have you done


Seems that Genshin Impact was inspired by the thing....... or among us streams, and so therefore were indirectly inspired by the thing.


I kind of expected this comment section to now be filled with a lot of among us jokes..

AND I WAS RIGHT

I kind of expected this comment section to now be filled with a lot of among us jokes..

We're stuck with you because we choose to be stuck with you and that ain't bad.


Around the 16 min mark Mr. Ballen’s intro theme is playing in the background!


so you're saying talking to humans is good thing?


Best thing about the movie is... If you can understand norwegian... The whole plot is revealed to you at the start :)


Mcreedy is the guy who says if i am going down your all going down with me in like a video game or movie


wow realy gonna release another banger vid this soon and its on my favorite film thank you


It is true BS that Youtube took this down, Even if temporarily.


Emp- Our salvation comes in the form of men who will do the least terrible option
Also Emp- shows a clip of Donald Trump talking about "fire and fury"

Emp- Our salvation comes in the form of men who will do the least terrible option
Also Emp- *shows a clip of Donald Trump talking about "fire and fury"*

otherwise great video with amazing editing would recommend


8:04 is probably why this video got age restricted


The claymation video before the ad at the end, I havnt thought about that in goddamn years.


This video better not be age-restricted because of this: 11:47


RIP the ‘Terror in Isolation’ video title.


Oh my goood it's back.

I was gonna watch it later but changed my mind and when I got back mere minutes later the video ViOLaTeD YoUTuBeS TeRmS oF SeRviCe lmao.


Yo EmpLemon, how can we learn how to edit like you? Do you have anything on Patreon? Your style is like Jon Bois soaked in LSD.


so this is what Among Us developer tried to project


The anime parasyte is definitely inspired by this movie


Damn the first time I went to watch it, it said that the video was “taken down for violating TOS”

what happened?


I hear left 4 dead and half life music, and I become happy

6:56  ...God.  Fucking.  Damnit.  I feel so... Stupid.  I never put it together before that Black Mesa is supposed to be Area 51.  I think it's because when I think of Area 51 I always picture Roswell from Futurama, and so I always imagine it as being like a post WW2 military camp rather than a secret military testing complex.

Plus, I mean, nobody banged their own grandma at Black Mesa.  Well.  Ok, if they did, then not in an extraordinary time travel way... Probably.

That Plato cartoon! I’ve seen it before, when I was like ten! I can’t remember what it was ... I remember pancake mines but not that one.


judging by the shots in the video, I won't be suprised if Interplay and black Isle based the Master from Fallout 1 on the monster, the fact how it (judging as I havent seen the movie) can absorb people and it can hoffically destroy a human or other living beaing...

the centaurs in fallout 1 kinda look like the Thing


This didn't show up in my sub feed despite the fact I regularly leave a like on your videos


What is that song that Homer sings at the end? I've been looking for it forever! (20:10)


I'm having crazy deja vu from this video.


I thought title was about quarantine isolation at first

I thought that Emp was going to compare The Thing's isolation with the coronavirus isolation.

I thought it was about the horror itself being isolated


It'd be cool if you do there will never be another series like Twilight Zone when I'm talking Twilight Zone I'm talking about the 1950s to 60s series I would love it if you would talk about the Twilight Zone


Do Alien next!<br>Kidding but also not kidding.

Do Alien next!
Kidding but also not kidding.


Not even the almighty YouTube prophet Montizon can censor the Emp!


But what about the prequel from like ten years ago? No one ever talks about it...


The claymation video is Klay World: The Murderer, if anyone was wondering.

Thank you!!!!  I couldn't find it but remember from the early days of Youtube!


The film kinda reminds me of the belko experiment


Nobody expects the reventian inquisition

@TheDarkSide11891 The Thing is my favorite movie and I wanted to do a UKARMS Spin on it. And EmpLemon is on my notifications.

Hey Reventian, didn't expect to see you here. No UKARMS here unfortunately though.


i better watch this before youtube ends up slapping the life support


I found out about the movie because of the video game lol


I really hope you also make a video on They Live


You haven't completed your scream fortress contracts... have you?


I just rewatched the 2011 remake. Its cgi was garbage and ruined the film. Would have been far better with animatronics like from a 6 to a 7.5


I watched the video complaining about YouTube demonetization and age restriction, there is no indicator in the description that this video is restricted


October is supposed to be scary in order to scare you from touching DA MEAT during November ?


Finally its back i was halfway through the video when it was gone :/


Let's see how this video does after YouTube's attempt to cripple it

@Bryan He has ads back on and is making money, although it's still age-restricted doe.

@Ex Nihilo it was removed for a couple hours and now it's age restricted


Downloading this before it gets taken down again.


Welcome back, I wanted to watch it but it got snapped mid watch :(


Yo YouTube straight up ripped this video from me mid stream the censorship is to the max here in America


good to see the video’s back up. what part violated the youtube TOS?


This is the video that the youtube bot removed twice and did in two different ways. I was expecting some more age restricted you know.


maybe the thing was the friends we made along the way


"Age-restricted video (based on community guidelines)"


Okay okay here there’s a game right now. Right. And it’s very similar to this, have you heard about this?


Good video yet again. do more movie shit


I am commenting this in the hopes that it will help this video be recommended to more people


I can't believe you got Todd Howard on a video


Anime girls whenever they see tentacles reaching inside of them:
 "I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is."

*Anime girls whenever they see tentacles reaching inside of them:*

@EmpLemon Lol. People are going to scream, MANDELA EFFECT!!!<br>when you already explained why you changed the title.

I literally watched this yesterday, what is this synchronicity??


Ah after all these years, I found it again. Can someone please help and tell me what the name of the old show with the blue play doh figures are?? No matter what I searched I just could not find the name.


No ones talking about the clay world reference


2:48 would've been perfect for Vsauce music


5:15 this guy may be the stupidest horror movie characters in all of the horror movie genre


9:00 did you just use black mesa/half life music? Nice!


"Norris acting sus."
Copper: "C'mon, guys. Let's just finish tasks and be done with it. CLEAR!"

"Norris acting sus."
*Copper:* "C'mon, guys. Let's just finish tasks and be done with it. CLEAR!"


Yup, because Rona can assimilate my ass.


This is odd but i found your video and loved it bur couldnt finish it and when i tried to watch it again i just could not find it, i even looked on my liked videos and it said it was deleted

Thats some of the weirdest stuff


I really appreciate you using that Klayworld episode.


The thing is among us in a nutshell<br>Edit: why was my comment deleted for a few hours

The thing is among us in a nutshell
Edit: why was my comment deleted for a few hours

It’s the other way around since the thing came out first


My dad told me that you can tell who "the thing" is at the end of the movie because Childs, the crewmate, drinks from a Molotov Cocktail. A Molotov is entirely gasoline and MacReady made it previously in the film, so MacReady laughs because he knows he's "the thing".

Here's the scene where he does it at the end.
https://youtu.be/GA4Ozqt7338?t=98


Amogus? Sus? What do you mean son it's called The Thing!


Having watched the video on this video's youtube problems (and subbing after that video) I thought it worth mentioning this video has shown up in my recommendations, if that helps at all?


"The Thing"? Yeah,  real clever name guys.
What's next,  "The STUFF"?
geez louise

Thank you to the two dudes that answered my question :)

No. I’d say it’s a perfect title. Because what words can you really use to describe this creature? When it reveals itself, it’s a grotesque amalgamation of heads, arms, tentacles, claws, teeth, and legs. It’s a “Thing.”

@Will__Mem9rno It's about an alien lifeform that's mistaken for some sort of ice cream like substance that they package and sell to people since it's so addictive. You can probably guess how things go from there.

@Will__Mem9rno from what i remember "the stuff" was about a canned food that was so addicting it made its victims engorge themselves to death

@Robo - Nidai Describe it in excruciating detail

Funny enough, there actually is a movie called The Stuff.

No! Not Chocolate Chip Charlie!!! He was so important not the plot, what do we do without him!!!


i'm such a pussy when it comes to horror dude, i never watched these movies and (6:06) this made me jump, i hate myself


„Totally devoid of any warmth or humanity“.... it’s a fucking horror movie, dude


Hey, two YouTube nukes weren't enough I guess, because the video is back


wait this is an emp video? when I watched this earlier I could've sworn this was like some legit movie critic


Whatever is out there, humans are alone with it in the void of space, stuck on a spec of dust with nowhere to go.


People talking about Among Us, but people don't know about unfortunate spacemen. Basically The Thing but with spacemen, like seriously, you can be the monster instead of just a murderous among us figure


9:43 hahahaha that was so fucking forced


According to science, if the universe is actually infinite, then every conceivable idea and thought that every human has ever had, has, and will have, exists somewhere within the universe.
Indeed even the thoughts that no one ever had and never will have, exist somewhere within the universe, IF it is infinite.

And because there is a limited number of infinite possibilities (I know it sounds paradoxical, but think of every number between 0 and 1, there's practically an infinity of them but it eventually goes from 0 to 1) then there are only so many forms in which atoms can arrange themselves before they have to start repeating themselves with some minor variations each time.
That means every creation inside an infinite universe, down to each individual human, exists an infinity of times and has to go through an infinity of different situations.

In conclusion, past the limit of the observable universe, where the laws of physics may differ from those that we know, the events from The Thing have happened for real, and there are countless organisms identical to "the thing" that are endlessly journeying through the cosmos.
Have fun sleeping tonight.

(Actually don't worry, even if it turns out the universe is infinite, which it likely is, and The Thing has a 100% chance of existing out there, that would be beyond the limits of the observable universe, and the universe expands in on itself faster than light can travel, so even if somebody tried to come towards us faster than light, it would still not be able to ever reach us. Though that also means that there's an identical you somewhere out there right at this moment, reading a comment made by another me, just as he's about to be assimilated in a painful way.)

@Shizi As implausible as it sounds, yes, if the universe is infinite then star wars also exists incredibly far away from us.

Impossible to ever reach or detect, but presumably real, at least based on the way mathematics predict reality so far.

There would also be a place within our universe where somebody had this great idea to make an entirely fictional movie, but the events of that movie were real as WW2 here.

So somewhere Star Wars is real. I mean it was in a galaxy far far away

@White Silver okay, here is your degree in Masteral of Astrophysics

@Exu Thank you for coming to my TED talk

hey, you forgot your "thank you for coming to my TEd talk"

@Chance Davis Then what's the highest number that you can think of?

Sounds like some pseudo-intellectual to me. No such thing as infinite. If there's a beginning, there's an end.

@Feral Animation I think I know what you mean. I'm pretty much the same.
I wouldn't describe myself as either religious nor an atheist nor agnostic.

I don't like atheism because to me it feels like it tries to sell a cynical, meaningless and nihilistic existence. It tries to embrace the nothingness almost in defiance to religious people, and in doing so I feel it completely blinds itself towards the intrinsic beauty of existence.
At the same time however, every religion out there seemingly tries to sell me what feels like a fake reassurance. Nothing is scary to religious people because they can justify it through a greater purpose.

"If I die I die because God wanted me to"; "Space is empty because God wanted it to be empty"; "It doesn't matter if I'm stranded alone on the moon, God is with me" and so on.
And really I can't buy into any religion specifically when they are based entirely on human-made doctrines. There's always some ancient text at the basis of it all that was ultimately wrote by another human. There is not a single shred of proof for the existence of a personal god-like creator.

I don't hate religion or religious people, and I understand religion has its place within our society; after all it is a trading system through which one gains reassurance in their life in exchange for somebody gaining political power. And I'm sure it has helped humanity throughout the ages too, as I can't imagine humans, with our innate selfish nature, would willingly move towards today's kind of society where it's not common to kill one another, if it weren't for the absolute belief that a creator was intently watching them at all times.
But it just isn't for me, I can't help it but feel like both sides are lacking something critical.

Not science, however. Science, to me, fills that missing gap, giving meaning to the universe and comfort in understanding it, while also forcing us to embrace the fact that we are ultimately in control of our own destiny.
The more I've learned about the universe, the more at ease I became understanding that I am part of it. If there was something I'd consider a God, that would be reality itself, the space that bent itself in order to allow me to exist inside of it; the fundamental laws of physics that allow for conscient thought.

The universe exists in itself. It's a closed system, where no new atoms ever get created, just recycled over and over. The same atoms that form you right now are the same atoms that were inside exotic distant stars, planets, dinosaurs, kings and emperors, plants and insects, rivers, oceans and mountains.
After we die, our atoms will entirely return to the universe. Some parts will become the earth, others will become new animals, and ultimately new people, and new stars.

I know it’s abt the movie but I rly love this comments for kinda personal reasons

Tldr: I’ve been terrified of death etc and struggling spiritually/existentially for the past couple years but ur comment makes me feel better so thx

So uhh I’ve been having a lot of existential dread which I guess you could call a crisis of faith, and every sort of ~spirituality~ I’ve looked into, I’m only ever been skeptical. But at the same time I can’t bring myself to accept atheism and such—bc of the existential dread.

But I’ve always loved metaphysics and multiverse theory and idk somehow this is rly comforting to me? I get that we haven’t 100% proven it—so I guess in a way it’s not too different that believing in god—but idk, it’s more... objective? than anything else I’ve tried so far.

The infinity of the universe is inconceivable to the human mind, you have no idea what lies at the limits of the known universe

God, I love how all out you went with this xD

"our only salvation comes from men like Macready, men that are ready to pick the least bad option" -clip of trump plays- oof.

@CajBaj the White "these people" you talking bout yourself bud?

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin Hey, that's just Emp's personal opinion. The world is more nuanced than that. A country driven by it's lust for material wealth ain't the only government and ideological systems around.

@Vega Running a country isn't about feelings, it takes brutally honest logic and men capable of taking those decisions, it rounds back to Emp saying how Macready was the only one guiding the whole group as a leader. I know compassion, but give a man a fish, and he'll be fed. Teach a man to fish, and he'll be fed his whole life. What we're doing is just making people dependent on the government to solve their issues, and ultimately that gives leeway to authoritarianism and injustice, you can see it in this review too, the characters had to depend on Macready.

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin have some compassion in your life for once, this isn't a numbers game. And the rest are just things you disagree with. I say they work, you, otherwise

@Vega  1.- Yes. By law, illegal aliens don't enjoy the same treatment as a citizen. They're here ILLEGALLY, and any other country would boot them off, why not the U.S.?
2.- As i've said before, the money that is supposedly meant for emergencies is often siphoned off to programs that never show their worth, or that ironically hurt the development of the marginalized communities they're supposed to help. The act says it should only be used in programs that "will investigate or address the disproportionate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in environmental justice communities.", which considering their track record, is too vague and can be interpreted in many ways.
3.- Most bailouts are only enjoyed by corporations and big companies, and worst of all, this means the business isn't profitable or functional, but is still propped up while smaller businesses get squashed. We've seen minority mom & pop shops take the brunt of the Covid economical free fall, while big businesses like Amazon continue to grow; they can take the economy's hits.
4.- Student loans are something people agreed to by contract, which means they were never forced to, they did it out of their own volition. Here, it's their responsibility to get out of the hole they themselves dug, not the taxpayer.

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin
1. You rather have non-Americans suffer than to benefit yourself.
2. The Heroes Act would codify EPA's environmental justice grant programs and provide up to $50 million in additional Fiscal Year 2020 funds for the sole purpose of investigating and addressing these disproportionate impacts of COVID-19. This provision is based on legislation developed and introduced by Reps. Excuse me? investigating the impacts of COVID seems pretty important for a bill aimed to tackle the impacts of COVID
3. If not bailouts then what do you guys want? Bailouts helps small businesses too. aka The Economy
4. People are unemployed and unable to pay their debts due to COVID. So the government is using the money (paid for by the citizenry) to help alleviate the financial problems of the citizens

@Vega 200,000 is still a very small number to justify 22,000,000 to 17,000,000 jobs lost in the lockdowns. And about 9/11, I fully decry senseless war, and I believe we shouldn't have had any hand whatsoever in the middle east, since it just hurt the country as a whole. If that's what you try to say, I agree.

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin no matter what, thats an extra 200k of deaths. America went to war for 2 decades in the middle east for 3k

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin from your sources, democrats rejected the bill because it doesn't help. the bill isn't adequate at helping the people.

"House Democrats in May passed a $3.4 trillion bill that would extend some of those measures and approve a number of other initiatives, such as nearly $1 trillion for cities and states, but Republicans and the White House rejected that plan. The White House didn’t begin negotiations with Democrats over what to do next until late July, and those talks faltered as both sides dug in."

@Vega I hope you understand that in the wide scale of things, 200,000 isn't much.
655,000 Americans die of heart disease every year.
In 2018, 48,344 Americans died by suicide.
In 2019, over 38,800 Americans died in car crashes.
It's an incomplete list, but my objective here is that the overall Covid fatalities aren't extreme.

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin 328.2 million, and now 200,000 of those are dead. Idk about you but trying to put out a raging forest fire (covid) sounds way more complicated and costly than just prevention

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin malaria isn't covid now is it.

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin you're just spouting nonsense this whole time Vladimir. My country's economy is doing great because we reacted quickly, quarantined for a 1/4 of a year and now life has returned to normal, restaurants are more packed than previously. Everyone's going to the cinemas. No one's wearing a mask anymore.

@Vega Obviously if the economy goes into a free fall COVID is gonna be the least of our problems, since people who were barely making rent will suffer the most, compared to the elites who can ride lockdown with cash to spare. The relief bill was shot down by dem politicians barely last month, when the objective was just helping U.S. citizens with cash. Hydroxychloroquine has been vetted and helps fight against COVID, it's a legitimate treatment. Now, if lockdown was so important, why is it that a great deal of democrat-run cities are experiencing upticks in COVID activity? Why was Pelosi in a hair salon totally unprotected? Cuomo ignored quarantine too!

@Vladimir Demetrov Ilyushin obviously your party, yea. Who's the president that's actively down playing the seriousness of the situation. Which party's the senate majority who happens to refuse to pass aid for struggling Americans? Which president is the one that actively promotes nutjob cures for the virus. As someone from a country which only experienced 200 covid infections and 14 deaths because we closed down on the first sign of trouble, your republican party isn't a right wing party. It is the party of selfish narcissists. Vladimir

@Zacharias Noack I'd argue the better option in policy would be Trump, but yeah both are pretty bad

People just ignore the mass riots that spread COVID at unbelievable rates, they ignore the emails implicating the Bidens in selling out America to China (even sexual abuse), they ignore the initial spread of COVID, helped by ignorant politicians that were sucking up to China, they ignore the physical violence suffered by people speaking even remotely right-wing opinions, they ignore the gargantuan economical crisis caused by lockdowns, they ignore the rampant election fraud aimed towards helping the Democrat party. Tell me, people, who's the hypocrite?

@Rayo Visual I'd like to imagine it's one of those sarcastic memes (glorifying bad people and ideas) that was popular a few years back. Trump was often the butt of these memes. But then 2016 happened and we realized that there actually are a dangerously large number of idiots who fell for it hook line and sinker.

Which certainly actually makes it more perplexing that someone as fluent as emp in internet culture would put that in his video considering the current climate

that was the one weird part of the video

Especially since the entire video is inspired by the pandemic response he bungled up and is now constantly having rallies, regardless of who gets hurt, just to further his goals. He is the guy in sci fi movies that gets infected with an alien virus but doesn't say anything to the rest of the crew. OUR "SAVIOR" LADIES AND GENTLMEN

yeeeah. Putting Trump and "Salvation" in the same clip is exactly the kind of rhetoric these people push.<br>Rest of the video is a pretty good analysis though.

yeeeah. Putting Trump and "Salvation" in the same clip is exactly the kind of rhetoric these people push.
Rest of the video is a pretty good analysis though.


lol critics are out of touch and useless no matter the time period it seems. when a bunch of critics pan a movie there is a high chance it will be very enjoyable. and to think they would trash talk one of the most iconic sci-fi horror movies of all time along the likes of alien......what a joke.


Everytime I hear about zombies it makes me think of Democrats.


The video... got my...

Thing one!

I'm sorry xD


hi, i am watching after the youtube claims

also introducing the movie that everyone wanted and it's been here for over 40 years
edit: ty for the outro poop :)


Man, Knox again... making me feel like an old ass fuck, still love it though.


EmpLemon's assertion that MacReady murdered Clark is just as exaggerated and unreasonable as when Childs said it.  Did nobody else pay attention to how Clark was about to stab him with a scalpel?  At least Childs had the justification of plausible deniability over whether or not he saw the scalpel in Clark's hand.


7:16 Yeah, or the fasted draw in the west bucko.


Emp, I can't access the music list...<br>By the way, great job, as always

Emp, I can't access the music list...
By the way, great job, as always


So I came from the demonetization about this vid by Emp's where he was showing the list of words that guarantee a takedown
It is the mention of aids almost at the 11:00 mark of the vid, that it took it down
That's why is age restricted


"horror in isolation"
Laughs in introvert

also wired AVGN did tell me that critics loved this movie <br>well dont know who to fact check

also wired AVGN did tell me that critics loved this movie

an american horror movie is the most realistic depiction of the American pandemic clusterfuck.
The rest 90% of the world is doing fine and has moved one. Mainly Asia and some pacific countries.
Will the west follow? Or fade into chaos and redundancy?


Yo I think it was the the guy who was being handed the bottle since he wasn’t cold whatsover.


why must you post this the second I start doing work


Omg, cool video and all, but did you do that credits music yourself?


You know... I understand many of the underlying messages, the truth of human nature, and the challengues...
But...
What are we meant to do? For real, I've had enough of understanding why the world sucks, why we suck, what everything means, but we need solutions, hope god dammit.
I'm not asking for a magical solution that changes everything from one day to another, I'm asking for where do we begin to make a brighter future.

Well, I say the same. I can't tell you the solution, but you can tell me yours and I'll tell you why it is shit, you kill me and your solution becomes the status quo. That is how it works.


Next do alien isolation, horror in isolation


the thing is just among us in movie form

@Deadliest Vice 1. Among us came out in 2018 2. Among us is pretty good even though you hate it.

@Deadliest Vice why does emplemon comment to go buy manscaped when he already mentions it in the video?

also among us isn't just a meme game its actually pretty fun and a good concept for a game and sure its probably been done before but its nice to enjoy things for as long as they last

@Deadliest Vice emp literally compares the 2 in the video


i just noticed the /x/ skinwalker music at 15:45, nice touch.


Hah, now a film review. Ur all over the place


I see YouTube’s policy violation has been squashed!


20:12 i need the link to that mix pls, i'm in love whith it

@420devious yeah heard about his passing, hit a freidn of mine pretty hard.

hell yeah im gonna check more of him out haha, thx

@that darn guy that song is like 15 years old now but still an absolute classic. DOOM is my favourite rapper, but he was a great producer as well. he passed near the end of 2020, I'm still pretty gutted about it. go check some of his shit, he's incredible

@420devious thanks bro. only ever heard of MF Doom but never got aroumd to listening to his stuff. Funny this was made by him

Gr8 vid, how 'bout an Emp vid on the Holy Mountain?


https://youtu.be/t7YYDfN_2vQ This link is to the clay animation you saw at the end it's pretty funny and I didn't expect it to be in the video


Maybe I'm stupid but can someone explain the cave picture to me.


I wonder if EmpLemon has heard of, “Everywhere at the End if Time,” by The Caretaker, with album art by Ivan Seal and a complete set easily accessible by searching up, “Everywhere at the End of Time vvmtest” on youtube? I wonder if he knows that post awareness stage 6 is without description.


I'm surprised you didn't mention the terrible prequel and the astonishing spin-off "Harbinger Down"


I just watched the thing for the first time last weekend<br>What the fuck

I just watched the thing for the first time last weekend
What the fuck


Now I’m not a socialist but I’ve gotten really tired of the more stupid parts of capitalism, like COMMERCIALS RUINING EVERYTHING


I was just talking how among us relates to the thing then you made the comparison too


It's 👏 not 👏 murder 👏 if 👏 it's 👏 self 👏 defense 👏


After a long day of work, Kanye West goes to his Kanye Nest to take his Kanye Rest. He wakes up feeling his Kanye Best. Then he’ll get Kanye Dressed into his Kanye Vest to go on a Kanye Quest. He goes to church and becomes Kanye Blessed, then to a hotel room to be a Kanye Guest. Then to school to take his Kanye Test. He forgot to brush his teeth. Did he run out of Kanye Crest? His neighbor stole it, what a Kanye Pest.

not sure if this was stolen from an optimus video or not anyone know?


Wait is this the YouTuber who used to make YTPs?


I also remember the PS2 game being really good too
