John Carpenter insinúa la identidad 'The Thing', Fan resuelve Mystery

Autor : Michael Actualizar : Apr 03,2025

Uno de los enigmas duraderos de la icónica película de terror de ciencia ficción de 1982 de John Carpenter, *The Thing *, es su final ambiguo. Durante los últimos 43 años, los fanáticos han especulado si RJ Macready, retratado por Kurt Russell, o Childs, interpretado por Keith David, se transforma en el monstruo central de la película. Carpenter dejó deliberadamente esta pregunta sin respuesta, hasta ahora.

Durante una proyección especial 4K de * The Thing * en el Teatro David Geffen en Los Ángeles el 22 de marzo, Carpenter compartió una "pista gigante" con el director Bong Joon Ho, revelando que una pista en el medio de la película señala quién se convierte en la cosa al final. En un giro juguetón, agregó que revelaría este secreto a cualquiera que esté dispuesto a enviarle una suma de dinero no revelada "en un sobre a mi casa".

Carpenter también reveló que los actores mismos se mantuvieron en la oscuridad sobre la verdadera identidad de la cosa. "No tenían idea", confesó. "Pero tuvieron que interpretarlo humano, ya ves. La criatura imita perfectamente. Podría ser uno de nosotros, podría ser alguien en la audiencia, y no hay forma de revelar. Así que lo sabía, no lo sabían".

Después de la proyección, el director independiente Joe Russo (que no debe confundirse con el MCU, Joe Russo) llevó a X / Twitter para revelar su teoría sobre la pista. Russo señaló que Macready se entera de que la criatura puede replicarse a nivel celular, aconsejando a todos que solo consuman artículos que han manejado personalmente. A pesar de este conocimiento, Macready comparte su licor con Childs al final de la película. Russo teoriza que este acto sugiere que Macready es la cosa, ya que compartir la botella podría ser su forma de garantizar la victoria. "Tan pronto como el niño bebe de la botella, la cosa ha ganado", argumenta Russo. "Ha vencido su amenaza final más escéptica".

La película de Carpenter deja magistralmente estos detalles no confirmados, pero Russo brinda apoyo adicional para su teoría. Destaca la línea final de la película: "¿Por qué no esperamos aquí por un tiempo, ves qué pasa?" como particularmente apropiado si Macready se ha convertido en la cosa. Russo sugiere además que la escena en la que Macready destruye la cosa podría representar una "mejor imitación matar una imitación más pobre" para aumentar sus posibilidades de infiltrarse en la sociedad al rescate.

La base de fans permanece dividida en la teoría de Russo. Algunos están convencidos por la evidencia, mientras que otros creen que Childs es el verdadero monstruo. "Todavía creo que es Childs porque no conocemos su paradero durante mucho tiempo en la escena final. Pero Keith David te dirá que él no es el 100% no es la cosa", comentó un fan. Russo respondió: "Carpenter dijo que ambos actores no saben ... Los niños siempre me sentían como un arenque rojo para mí".

Independientemente de dónde se encuentre en esta teoría, está claro que Carpenter continúa cautivando e involucrando a los fanáticos décadas después del lanzamiento de *The Thing *, proporcionando nuevas ideas y manteniendo vivo el misterio.

Shadow of the Monkey King: PS5 Patch Delivers Major Performance Boost, But 93GB Download Warning Sends Players Scrambling The highly anticipated Shadow of the Monkey King — officially titled Wukong — has just dropped a major performance patch for PlayStation 5, promising smoother frame rates, enhanced ray-tracing, and improved load times. However, fans are reacting with a mix of excitement and frustration after discovering the patch’s staggering 93GB download size. What’s New in the Patch? According to the official patch notes released by Game Science, the update brings several key improvements: Stable 60fps at 4K Resolution: The game now maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in most gameplay scenarios, a significant upgrade from the variable performance in the initial launch. Ray-Traced Lighting & Reflections: Enhanced visual fidelity with more realistic lighting and environmental reflections, especially in the game’s lush, mythological landscapes. Faster Load Times: Level transitions and open-world travel have been optimized, reducing loading times by up to 40%. Bug Fixes & Stability: Numerous crash fixes and AI behavior adjustments have been implemented based on player feedback. The team has also added a new "Performance Mode" that prioritizes frame rate over resolution, ideal for players who value smooth gameplay over ultra-high graphics. The 93GB Download: A Double-Edged Sword While the improvements are undeniable, the 93GB patch has sparked controversy. For context, the base game was already around 80GB — meaning the patch adds nearly 120% more data. Players on limited storage devices, particularly those with older PS5 models (1TB or 2TB), are alarmed. Many have reported that the patch not only eats up valuable space but may force them to delete other games to make room. Sony has since confirmed that the patch is required to access certain new features, including the expanded "Spirit Realm" side quests and new difficulty modes. Community Reaction “My PS5 only has 2TB, and I’ve already got 100+ games. I don’t even have the storage to test the patch!” – @GamerFromShangriLa “The visuals are gorgeous, but 93GB? That’s more than some whole console games.” – @PixelPanda99 “I’ll take the performance gains… but maybe next time, send a patch that doesn’t require a hard drive upgrade.” – @WukongWarrior Some players are turning to external SSDs, while others are demanding better compression or incremental updates in future patches. What’s Next? Game Science has acknowledged the backlash and said they’re exploring ways to optimize future updates with delta patches. They’ve also hinted at a potential "lightweight" version of the game for lower-end systems. For now, if you’re a fan of Wukong, the patch is worth the download — just make sure you’ve got the space, patience, and a good internet connection. Pro Tip: Use a high-speed external SSD and schedule the download overnight to avoid disrupting gameplay. Shadow of the Monkey King continues to impress with its unique blend of Chinese mythology, fluid combat, and breathtaking art direction. Just don’t forget to double-check your storage before hitting "download." 🐒💥 Lectura
