Along with these changes will it include making Thing look right?

I think the only changes they're making to the suit are so that it'll be easier for Chiklis to use the restroom.

LOL. A little flap, like the pj's I used to have when I was a kid ? Can you imagine if you had to take a wicked dump in the middle of a scene ? I mean 1 of those big old jucy ones ? Or crapping inside that suit ? Always thought how the heck does he take a dump in that thing ? My goodness. We still all own MC a big round of applause, and a big thank you. He went thru hell in that suit for us. Went above and beyond. And there are those who want to make things bigger. That's easy to say when YOU don't have to be in it 12 hours a day. Stick your rear in it, you'd be crying like a little girl after an hour or 2 if that long.

Wait...in the title it says: "include making the Thing look right". What's up with that? I thought the entire cast looked great. Now if they could just hire some better writers.....

Some want The Thing to have the large brow, little button nose, ect, ect, and I say nonsense. Work on the hands, and the suit itself, leave the face alone. Cause if they tinker too much, the'll ruin it.

Yeah. When he was wearing the "Big and Tall" suit he looked like he was right out of the Kirby comics.

 

[Obi-Ron]

Brow dammit!

 

[Mr Sensitive]

Yeah, he needs the brow and some CGI enhancements next time.

But no complaint about Chiklis. The guy is a great actor. Lots of respect for him.

 

[fangrl06]

A Brow's gonna look weird.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

THE THING IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK WEIRD.
He's a freaky, apish M.O.N.S.T.E.R. made out of living ROCK!

Don't Batman's pointy ears look weird when they wiggle around?
Didn't Hell Boy look weird with those filed down horn-stubs?
Doesn't Reed look weird when he turns into an inner-tube?

Jeez.

Also, inspired by the post above, I want to add that I agree. As far as I know, no one on Earth could've been as perfect to play the Thing as Chiklis was.

That's why I find it all the more depressing, that they had that rare miracle of perfect casting, but got the aesthetics A.L.L. wrong.

The ONLY smart thing to do would've been to've had Chiklis be to the Thing as Andy Serkis was to Gollum and King Kong.
And to those that say, "Oh yeah, 'cause the CGI HULK was so great! "......um, dumb comment.

I never said he should be "just like the Hulk"...in fact, one thing that sucked about the Hulk was a thing that sucked about the Thing. They weren't true to the character. They kept giving the Hulk a baby face and they made him 50 freaking feet tall.

I'm talking about a Gollum/King Kong-quality CGI job.
If they couldn't afford it, then they shouldn't've made the f*** ing movie.
LOTR cost a s***-load too. It also WON OSCARS.......................................F4 ain't winnin' no Oscars.

Si Senor, I agree.

No it's not. It's going to look great and look like it's supposed to.

 

[The Thing 2005]

Look wake up. Chilkis wanted to do The Thing, no cgi. You want The Thing to look like that ? Only way is CGI. Chilkis did a great job, leave him the hell alone, give him smaller hands, but leave his head alone. Why the heck can't people get that thru their head. No cgi, ergo, you get what we got 1st time. Leave the head the hell alone.

Geeee.....thats just his thoughts, dang....leave WS the hell alone...LOL....he's had this problem w/ Thing for awhile, he's not going to get it through his head....he has his idea in mind....and you have yours....chill....

Okay, I was going to say it earlier, but I'll say it now...People (for over a year ) have asked why I keep "fighting" with people that liked the movie, and why I still harp on the dumb-looking Thing.

But truly, I'm not here just to bicker. It comes as some consolation whenever I see that I'm not the only sane and smart one that can see how badly they botched "THE THING" in the movie, so thanks for being a real "Thing" fan.

Botched ? I beg your ever loving DC pardon. The Thing, the best comic charactor ever created looked good, MC played him to perfection, and if you have blinders on, or if your myopic, or short sighted, then I can't help you.. You hated the movie, you hated The Thing and thats cool, but don't come here and say it was botched. That's an insult to Jack "King" Kirby, who drew The Thing, in case you have forgoten.

And he will be sooooooo grateful!!!

...UM,...Did you "say" something?

...you ignorant, disrespectful mule?

You don't know s*** about Kirby. You're not worthy to even type his name on message-boards.

My extreme, insane love for Jack is one of the biggest reasons that I hated the movie.
Try shutting up next time.


It doesn't matter what you say, none of those ^ look like:

Kindly get real, dunce.

How can you not agree w/ that thingy....its signed by Jack Kirby....WS has shown you a pic of what he wanted thing to look like.....you said what he wanted wasn't Kirby, he just proved to you it was....he made a point, he found source to prove his point...theres no denying that...

 

[Mr Sensitive]

Oh, but Thingy will deny it.

Sit with yr coke'n'popcorn, relax and see.

Have to agree. Movie Thing looks very little like the beloved comics icon.
He does somewhat resemble the Thing of approx. issues 4-15, but that's it. So while I've sort of made my peace with what we got in FF1, I won't be happy with FF2 if all we get is more of the same.
Ben should definitely evolve further towards the decidedly more unhuman proportions he took on in the FF's heyday. If for no other reason than he needs a fresh reason to hate being the Thing. This can only enhance Chiklis' performance as we experience his horror at mutating further, his humanity seemingly slipping away.
Anyone who has been paying attention to what Hollywood FX shops have been able to achieve in recent years know that this is possible.
I give a big to Michael Chiklis' performance. Her's perfect.
But as a lifelong FF and Kirby fan, I can only give a firm to the half-assed Thing make-up of FF1.

Thing and Wilhelm, you guys need to reel in the attitudes. You're both gonna get put in time out if you keep it up.
Thing, when you question a fan's devotion (and respect for KIRBY, for God's sake!) because they don't like the FF1 Thing, that's just obnoxious. You're not fighting any kind of good fight there.
And Wilhelm, I may agree with you, but resorting to name-calling over this just makes you look bad. The pics you chose and your rightful indignation more than made your point.
