He likes poignancy you don't have to be contemplative to understand. Maybe if Kurt Russel had said: Spoilers for 1982 sci-fi classic The Thing Spoiler "Either of us could be the creature, and if one of us survives it could doom humanity, so lets not try to survive the night and just sit here drinking whiskey and fall asleep in the snow." Yeah, way better ending.
I get some sort of odd satisfaction from being able to read things inside spoiler tags. Ones that actually spoil something.
Spoiler It's not that I didn't understand the ending, I just didn't like it. It didn't set up anything. The alien is either dead and no one has to worry or it isn't dead and still no one has to worry.
best thing about the thing Spoiler defib the mouth ending of inception Spoiler incepting you(proper use of term) that the world isn't real, like cobb did to his wife. well thats what i got from it
Spoiler No, the whole point is that you don't know, I get that. I just don't like it. tl;dr Alien is better.
