The Thing's rock pattern looks kind of like a bunch of isobars:

A comedian , or a joker is going to make jokes regardless of the situation or circumstance. They make fun of everything most of which aren't even funny in the slightest to me at least. Besides the public has had 15yrs of naked Mystique, naked apes, a naked rock man probably won't get much of a peep.

If Mystique had been missing her boobs, you can bet there would have been discussion of it.

The second worst part of this pants-less, penis-less Thing (the first being that it's patently absurd and will make a laughing stock out of the character and film) is that it's completely unrealistic - in contradiction to the claimed goals of the film-makers.

If anyone really turned into a rock creature with the anatomy of a Ken Doll, the last thing they would do is walk around naked and show everyone they've got the anatomy of a Ken Doll.

Simple human nature would be to put some pants on and cover things up a bit.

 

[Dark Raven]

Why can't Reed, being the so-called brilliant mind that he is, create a pair of stretchy pants for Ben? It doesn't even have to be unstable molecules. I'm sure he could even find a pair at Walmart.

I don't think Abomination became a laughing stock. To top that off, Abomination is more organic than the Thing.

Also, I don't know if Abomination had pants in his comics.

May be they will in a sequel if that ever comes out.

Explains why the only girl who'd date him is blind. Grounded.

I can't comment on Abomination or the psychology behind it, but the Thing already is a laughing stock based on this photo:

Thing is more high-profile than abomination.. so you're going to see a bigger reaction from the fan base AND general public.

Lesser known characters are always going to receive less flack. About ANY changes to their appearance.

@Willie Lumpkin

I see. Some of those comments are hilarious.

I guess it is just me who doesn't want to see the Thing have a thing based on the way he looks. But I don't mind if he wears pants or not in this particular version. I am neutral on both counts.

Without going into too much detail, making the Thing dickless and naked invites a lot more attention than covering him up does. That's the truth. There's a reason why the likes of the Thing and Hulk wear pants and it's to draw attention away from that area. By having him be naked, you're inviting comment.

Making the Thing naked in a dark, horror version of Fantastic Four where the fact that his dick... falls off? could indeed be the Cronenberg-esque body horror they mentioned at the start of this project. But the fact is, that's not this film. "Gritty" it may be, it's a standard PG-13 superhero flick. The Thing not having a thing and it not being mentioned, it not being a key part of Ben's character, is going to stand out like a sore thumb.

If they'd stuck some pants on him, people could think what they'd like, and this whole conversation could be averted.

yeah i don't think anyone wants to see a naked thing with .. well a thing. But there's really no reason he shouldn't have pants.

I think people may be right that he "armors up" with rocks... in this take.. which again, i also don't like

Actually there are good reasons for both cases. I think about it in terms of functionality. But then again, attracting people's attention and becoming a controversy is enough of a reason for it to have pants on.

That's true.

The only reason why it won't attract that much attention and discussion is because people are distracted from thinking about its junk.

Okay... moving on. lol

 

[spideyboy_1111]

That's true.

The only reason why it won't attract that much attention and discussion is because people will scared to be called a perv for talking about what's inside the pants.

Okay... moving on. lol

umm ... i don't think a single soul is scared to talk about that...

 

[Sleiek]

May be I should rephrase that.

Pants help distract people from thinking about somebody's junk. Happy? On that thought, I should edit my original statement as well.

 

[Dark Raven]

Ang Lee wanted to make a naked 15ft Hulk for his movie, but the studio nixed that idea fortunately. He still has a humanoid appearance but is green. Imagine if his anatomy were also like a Ken doll. Unless Ang Lee decided to just strategically place flower pots and other things in front of him a la Austin Powers.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

you can if you want to .. but it's not like it's not in my quote. really no need to go back and change it

 

[Sleiek]

He did have a naked hulk for the fight scene in the woods with the hulk-dogs. lol

It just means I have changed my mind about it. Don't really care if it's in your post.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I do think Thing may "armor up - via rocks" which may actually explain the lack of anatomy... and make it all less awkward. but that doesn't explain his eyes .. nor does it explain if he is stuck like that or not... if he's nto stuck it makes more sense than if he is stuck

 

[Tony Stark]

He looks absolutely terrible.

 

[Dark Raven]

I don't recall he did that. Of course, it was so dark that it was hard to see. But did he start off that way or did the dogs tear his pants off?

 

[Sleiek]

Pretty sure the dogs tore his pants off.

i feel like if i just got turned into a giant rock monster the last thing i would be worried about is my genitalia

Well, until he came to relieve himself. Is it trapped beneath the rock or has it transformed into Ken anatomy? He would soon begin to feel extremely sick.

i never really read fantastic four comics so my question is did he ever use the bathroom in the source material? was he ever drawn to have a bulge? did he even have junk in the source material?

i feel like i find this subject way more fascinating than i should
