Xenomorphs vs. The Thing

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

A flower from a tongue is still carbon based to carbon based.

In the 2011 prequel, the Thing is shown to spit out metal filings and any other inorganic material iirc. Been a while since I've seen that film.

Besides, it's not just it being silicon (hah!) that will be challenging. The acid blood and mutagenic nature of Xenomorphs suggest a hostile environment for any foreign invaders.

It couldn't copy them, was the thing So if you had fillings, etc, it was another way to "prove" you weren't infected.

Right, ok. I feel that is some layer of evidence to suggest the Thing couldn't process the materials in a Xenomorph all that well, if at all.

Yea, that's about where I'm at as well.

Silicon is a naturally occurring element in the human body. A silicate based life form would, I think, not be a stretch when you bear that in mind. Also, the 2011 Thing movie was meh. xD

It's also one of those movies we pretend doesn't exist.
