Dead Meat I was thinking why the kill count didn’t come out in the morning
Dead Meat I’m so excited for this schedule
Dead Meat hello
Dead Meat love your videos man!
Dead Meat wicked
The worst Part about the cgi is no one actually working on the movie wanted to use it ,they even made practical effects, but the studio demanded cg
Not just demanded. They changed the movie after filming to include CG WITHOUT consent of the makers.
This is one of the biggest problems with cinema now
Atleast they kept up with continuity
Without continuity it would be much worse
am I the only who liked most of the cgi?
Being a prequel, they really should have named this "who goes there?" Like the original short story. Who goes there? The thing.
@@insidious140 yeah
@@insidious140 take your acronyms to someone who cares
@@insidious140 That was a pathetic insult. Try harder next time, because you're just embarrassing yourself now.
Dam insidious why you trynna start an argument
I like that name. Good idea
I can’t tell if this was intentional or not by the writers but I like to imagine the thing in this movie was ignorant to how smart the humans were and that’s why it was much more aggressive than it was sneaky in the carpenter version because it underestimated humans and just assumed they were stupid.
that actually makes sense.
That was one of my problems with the behavior of the monster but now that you put it in perspective I can see how that makes sense. I like your theory.
That makes a lot of sense. If I was a creature that was on an alien planet, and I had an ability I knew the life there didn’t, I would definitely assume they were much less intelligent, especially if they couldn’t do much or any space travel. If anything, it may have encountered satellites, scanned them, and saw how inferior they were and became more arrogant
TBF, it's a reasonable initial assumption to come to.
I mean if I was basically a bioweapon and it was a bunch of people barely able to damage me I would definitely try and assimilate as much as I can.
As a huge fan of the original I really liked the prequel. I do think it was a huge mistake not to have practical effects, and some of the cgi was really horrible. I just really enjoyed seeing more of the story though and wasn't really bothered by it's shortcomings.
I think the thing didn't need a prequel and without the old characters the tension is not there
It’s not the original
@@WickedTester176 Refer to what James says early on in this video
They were supposed to have practical effects,but it was denied.
Cool fact: James before the kill count spins because his eyes dont have a light as a producer said that in the 82 the best way to find who is the thing is by looking at their eyes when the camera is only pointed at their face if they have light they're innocent if they dont they are the thing
One absolutely critical flaw this movie made was NEVER removing the POV from Winstead's character, giving the audience someone they could always trust. The '82 version had a 10 minute(or so) segment of Macready going outside and you not seeing him, so when he gets back even the audience is suspicious of him.
Agreed. If there had even been a few minutes of Carter searching for her, then hearing a noise, then she wakes up--you wouldn't know for sure which one got assimilated.
Its especially bad because the metal logic makes it completely certain which characters aren't the thing
Definitely. Also the late-in-development decision to go with CGI was a fucking travesty. The practical effects of the first film were tough to pull off, but worth absolutely every setback they ever went through.
@@Lucifronz For sure, I've seen some of the practical props they were going to use for the end of the movie and it was so much better. Leave it to big Hollywood to ruin it lmao.

The thing absorbs anything
*Best Way to kill the thing*

*Dies on land*
this is 200 iq!
Thats not 200 iq its 2000 iq
Wouldn't work, because the thing doesn't need to hide his identity from fishes... It could grow spider legs pretty easily.
I'm with Demowan on this, yes it assimilates and assumes the properties of what it consumes. However that doesn't limit its abilities to that one thing, it's more like a DNA data bank where it can use ANY properties from ANYTHING it has consumed. That and it's 'default' Thing properties too.
20000000000000000iq right there
you can tell james really put a lot of effort into properly pronouncing adewale akinnuoye-agbaje's name. good on him!
The thing about cgi that baffles me is that even when it's bad cg if you take a frame of it, it still looks good, often reallly good. It's something about the motion that seems to get people, I've seen people say it's becasue the cgi is animated at a different frame rate than the movie was filmed at.
you clearly haven't seen Anaconda 3. The cgi in that movie, still or not, haunts my nightmares with its terribleness
It's to do with the motion. One frame on its own can look fine, but how the element moves between frames can look less realistic, especially if rushed.
I think it's two things (lol), the lighting and movement. Lighting because the thing is way too visible all the time, and they use those really weird shading on the monster that highlights it too well. Then the movement, it seems like they aniamted it a bit too much, like EVERY part of the thing has to move all the time, which is very unnatural (that sounds like a good idea but it's not), also i dont know if they animated the monster at 24ips but it seems way too smooth, like they tried to hide it with motion blur, but TERRIBLE motion blur that doesnt match the camera
You can tell the difference between older kill counts and newer ones, he’s really come to life in his narrations over time
yeah i thought he was sick in this video
Also much slower and casual later on
@@zacharycannaday6075 fr! I always play his old videos on .9 speed lmao
Thats why i love he is redoing Friday the 13th
It's annoying
I think the worst thing about the CGI, is the fact that they filmed all the "Things" practically, then completely comped them out and made them CG.
Extremely frustrating
blame the studio
I think all three of the movies great

The Thing Awakens would actually have been a great title for this movie.
Levi Phipps ikr
Or "The Thing: Origins". But I guess they didn't wanna blow in our faces that the movie is a prequel to the other one not a sequel.
Or The Thinging 😂
The Thing: Thawed or The Thing that Thawed would be my pick
"The Thingy" would have been even better. Thingamajig or thingaling could work too.
To be honest I don't think the movie was fully bad the acting is pretty good and the ending where it leads to the original thing is actually really cool but yeah I agree the cgi is bad
it didn’t actually have cgi at first, it had practical effects at first but universal replaced it entirely with cgi
@literallyericdravenfrl oh I know about that it sucks they got rid the practical effects BECAUSE UNIVERSAL LOVE CGI SHIT SINCE 1993
@@riofanl3638whats worse is that universal replaced the practical effects with cgi WITHOUT the consent of the team
story 100%
cgi - 100%
I didn't particularly like the movie after the whole incident with the Thing killing almost everyone off in the room and not doing anything about it until there were only two people alive.
I’m fascinated by the director of this movie. Why did he never direct anything else? This wasn’t terrible, so where he go?
Because people acted like it was terrible. It's not as good as the John Carpenter one from the 80s but it's certainly not terrible. I think a bunch of people use the CGI as a crutch to act like every part of this movie is awful
@irecordwithaphone1856 yeah the ragging on the cgi feels like groupthink to me.
I really wish he made more films, it must really suck having your legacy be a movie that not a lot of people enjoyed.
The Thing 1982 : I cared for every character.
The Thing 2011 : literally did not give a damn when they died.
@@humaneIP good horror film just like the 1st one. Only flaw was shitty, overblown hollywood climax in the spaceship. Harder to identify with the norwegian crew than the original bunch of americans but a worthy sequel. They should have broke the mould and had a big bellied old scientist as the hero instead of the standard ripleyesque stereotype. Do something different fof christ's sake!
Ok boomer
the first movie had believable characters.
the second just had place holders for more kills and to make sure everything was how it was found in the first.
also plus the first had more practical effects!

@@auditorhank7941 just like your spaghetti
well the movie originally wasn't going to use this much CG, with lots of practical effects. Even the weird pixelated shit in the ship was supposed to be a big alien puppet but the studio interfered and forced CGI in the movie
hi
This prequel literally follows the formula of Prometheus.
I love to watch this film and then the 1982 film right after it! There's a smooth transition from the end scene of the prequel and the beginning of the Carpenter classic. They took such care in the details of the helicopter while it chases down the dog, one would assume they were shot at the same time. I can't say enough about the 2011 prequel. Such an under-appreciated film!
It's scary cause their faces still seem shocked after transformation so you can't tell if they still feel the pain after transforming
Hello icy hot boi

@@castor9907 yes and resistance is futile
that was in my mind too... are they stll have human mind before transforming? please someone answer me...
The pixel thing that "Powers the ship" was originally supposed to be a pilot hanging himself.
But they cut it and put that over it
BluePhantom Productions seriously? Y?
@@patpesan2268 because the executives of the movie fucked this movie over completely. You should check out GoodBadFlicks video on this movie. It was going to be pretty different and all practical

Fucking Universal man. The director had originally wanted puppets witch CG enhancements like tentacles and whatnot but the studio got too scared. It's a shame too because you can see that the crew were really passionate about this project and wanted to make a worthy tribute to a classic film.

@@jasoncaldwell8199 i looked it up and from what i found, apparently the original ending was supposed to be them finding some sort of alien pilot among a spaceship? that's what i gathered. i'm not entirely sure.
@@ericolsen5592 You play as some character that is trying to figure out what happened to the norweigan and american team, you fight some normal soldiers and the thing. All I remember was that the end fight consists of you getting in a chopper with some unknown pilot. And then you got to destroy The Thing once and for all which has grown to a huge thing, then when flying away you ask the pilot who he is and he says he's the same pilot from the 80's movie Mac. And they leave it open to determine if he is the thing or Mac. And because everytime a movie has pulled this clichée, they are never human so I'm guessing that The thing was mimicing Mac and got away in the end.
I love the prequel tbh. I especially love how the ending ties up to the being of The Thing 1982.

The practical artists on this film actually made their own movie with a similar premise called Harbinger Down.
It’s about a crabbing boat that discovers a crashed Soviet space shuttle containing mutated Tardigrades that take over peoples bodies similar to the Thingn moves. Lots of great practicals and gore.

Movie: has CGI
James: So you have chosen death
Director: See, I told you we shouldnt have used bad CGI, now were gonna get teased by James A Janisse!
Studio: I don’t care, remove that horrid practical effects and replace it with CGI. Oh, as change that ending, that “pilot” monster is not scary compared to our masterpiece, a pasted head on a monster, and that ending is no where near a masterpiece compared to our ending.
interestingly it wasnt entirely CG. Theres behind the scenes footage of some of the animatronics they used. I think they are just far better looking on their own, but as a result of the added CGI to do the impossible things (like the face merge) they end up looking fake. Shame really.
The sad part is they did a ton of practical effect work that was written over by CGI models. And you can tell they could have done better CGI work since some of it is fine. I 100% agree with him, the movie would have been a lot better with more practical or at least better CG work. As a huge fan of the 1982 film and a fan of this one, I loved the homages, the lead up to the 1982 film but really cringed at some of the effects. The 1982 film made me horrified with every monster it showed, this film made me snicker at some.
I thought they did the CG pretty well for the movie, really really for the twisted concept of what the thing is, captures it really well.
Just came here to congratulate James for pronouncing Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje with such fluency.
The best thing about the original is that we never really get to see the monster.
I think the unknown is much scarier than a cgi teeth monster..
It’s still unknown though, the thing in the ice wasn’t actually “the thing” it was mimicking another alien life form. The actual thing is like microscopic cells
What do you mean "never get to see it"? The film is praised for its incredible effects for a reason, you know?
Maybe I should have used something like: "Rarely" or "Not often we get a good look at it"
unlike in this one where everyone turns into cgi right off the bat. xD
The only thing about this video is at 4:01, That's Lars, not Peder. Imao though
What I like about the prequel is that "The Thing" learned from his mistakes in the Norwegian Base camp and therefore sneaky in the U.S. Basecamp of the 1982 classic.

The Thing 2011 has its flaws but it will always hold a special place in my heart because it birthed my love of horror. When I was a kid way back in 2012, there was a shelf of DVDs in my local supermarket. Right at my eye level was a DVD release of The Thing 2011. It had an image of a man in a hooded winter coat kneeling in the snow. One hand was human, the other was a tendril-like claw. Underneath the title was the tagline “It’s Not Human…Yet”. It all sent my 8 year old mind whirring, and I couldn’t help but be captivated by it. What is “The Thing”? Why is it becoming human? What’s wrong with this guy’s hand? It all disturbed me, but it stirred an odd fascination in me. And that has remained prevalent into my adulthood. So I will always hold The Thing 2011 close for being the catalyst of my love for horror.

I dont want to like it because the number is too perfect
The real kill in number 3 is the CGI
Such a great prequel. Not perfect, but clearly made by someone who loved the original.
The ending gave me chills because I watched Carpenter's movie and I know how bad things will get.
Only problems I had with it were the cgi and the fact this movie copies many elements from the 1982 film. Also the fact the Thing was kinda stupid in this film. But when I look past those things I can still appreciate the fact the people behind this film actually WERE doing practical effects for this film but were forced to do CGI unfortunately. This could have been so much better than what we got.
It's so ironic that the only guy who doesn't speak or understand English is the only survivor. If it had just been someone else they guys in the 82 movie wouldn't have died
It's because of the first movie. The surviving Norwegian is the same man who tries to warn the men in the first movie, who then gets killed because they thought he was crazy. And because he was shouting at then in Norwegian armed with an AR-15.
Ah damn it I just read your comment again, disregard.

@@sharkbrother6596 wasn't she headed to the Russian station? Or is it just something that Carter-thing made up to coax her back in the snowcat
The story was actually well executed and seemed to line up perfectly. The problem was I didn't care about the characters. They didn't have any emotional impact at all like they did in the 82 version. The second big problem was they kept ripping the same ideas from the original as you stated. And the third problem was overreliance on CGI instead of practical effects.
And apparently there were practical effects at some point, but they got rid of em for whatever reason.
@@justafurrywithinternet317 Studio interference is the reason behind the CGI. If I was a director, and I had talented people who created absolutely _incredible_ practical effects, I would be *fucking pissed* if the studio said, "Nah, who cares about practical effects? Let's replace everything the effects artists worked hard on with cheap CGI, because people will like CGI more!"
How many scenarios can you really use in a research station out in the boonies? Doesn't help that they have to stick to the continuity the original already established since it's a prequel. So obviously they'd end up using the same ideas. Imagine how pissed you'd be if the prequel suddenly threw out everything the original went through and suddenly just did everything in an urban jungle setting filled with gang wars, which completely has nothing to do with research stations in antarctica, just because you didn't want it to be the same setting/ideas.
@@Wheres_my_Dragonator Aside from physical objects being where they need to be and looking the same, only the end result needs to be consistent with the original. Other than that, a better movie would have been far more original. What that would have been I'm not smart enough to imagine, but if they weren't going to make it more original, there was no point making this prequel.
@@jamespwickstrom8731Why does bringing in a girl matter. There were 2 women in the movie. The original Thing didn't have any, but I don't see why it's problematic to introduce some at a completely different research facility. Weird part of your comment to complain about something that minor

So true
The thing (1982) has to be creepy as F*ck
If you see the making of the prequel, they actually did set for having mostly practical effects and little cgi to tie the ends but due to limitations and changes forced on the team with little time led to still a decent movie that I find better than most movies especially during this time where cgi was still relatively new.

10:16 - I dont know if this was intentional but I think we get a hint of Thing Edvard a little early. Here you can see he is knocked unconscious and yet his head moves slightly and his arm lifts and twiches. This is also the same arm that soon after detaches to attack the dudes mouth.
I'm just glad we had some more The Thing movie content.

i love it when james says "saboteur."

Not really.
Art designers: Uh yeah, we made all the practical effects, everything is good to go.
Business people: Great, we'll put CG on top of those after shooting.
Art designers: What, why?
Business people: People will love it!
*As it turns out, people didn't actually love it.*
hah, you think they told the designers or ANYONE about the last-minute CGI changes
Usually movie executives like universal, Disney, Warner etc Usually come to see whats cooking and if there's something they don't like they have the power to change certain things. Hence why alot of directors don't have a whole lot of creative freedom.
I hate it when Studio Executives do this shit. Fun fact: Did you know that Studio Executives were the ones behind Sonic's original movie design? As in, the nightmare fuel human teeth creature that got replaced by the significantly more aesthetically pleasing cartoonish design?
i just can't understand why people hate on cgi so much.
They actually did have practical effects but someone decided that CGI would be better because if they use practical effects they thought it looked too much like an 80s film

What's sad is there were several good practial effects made and used. That were painted over with cg.
Studio interference really messed this one up. They also had more nods/references to the Carpenter one but they were cut. But people thinking it was a remake and that Kate was basically MacReady because she used the flamethrower in the trailer, and not wanting to see it, didn't help it either.

@@brittanyr9471 the execs excuse was that it looked too much like an 80s movie... (which was the whole point of the film, to be a faithful tribute to the original)
@@mrslinkydragon9910 that's lame.
@@brittanyr9471 i know right
The Thing: *Makes perfect imitation*
Also the thing: *Gets the ear piercing wrong*
It was a bust either way,
It didn't know how to wind up a vehicle.
To be fair, the thing doesn’t understand the importance of those types of small details quite yet. Putting the earring on the wrong ear is a mistake it probably didn’t even consider. That’s why in the original (after the thing has more knowledge) it’s way more crafty and smart in the way it plans, sabotages and gets everyone to go crazy.
Kremit Thats because its a prequel and The Thing probably doesn’t know those small details yet. Try actually watching the movie
@@jaynyce5923 I did
The Thing: *Can't imitate metal*
Also The Thing: *Imitates metal earring*
John Carpenter's "The Thing" was not a remake of the 1950's film; it is a reinterpretation of the original source material (the book).
8:52 I was waiting for that lmao. In the original 'The Thing' video it was great every time the camera abruptly cut to James saying it. samm Tyr tý
"So want do you want to watch for movie night?"
"How about The Thing?"
"Oh awesome I've got it right here!"
"No not that Thing, the OTHER Thing!"
"Which Thing?"
"The Thing that came before that Thing!"
"Oh you mean this Thing?"
"Yes, THAT thing!"
"Man. We need to stop getting our things mixed up."
Ladies and gentlemen
Abbott and Castello
ok joething
WTF
Y U getting Things mixed up over here
Which things
I hope if I go to college this conversation happens with a roommate
Mans only said Adewale's name just so he could flex on all of us that he could pronounce it, bet you a dollar
Eliza Villalpando he didn’t really pronounce it correctly😒
Was literally going to comment something like this
What a great energy from James! The yelling and all that is a lot!
"The Thing's crab claws try to Mike Tyson punch out of the burning building" never lough so hard xD
The same shirt... CONTINUITY!
Rather than calling this movie "The Thing", they should've called it "The Other Thing", or as a throwback to the original, "The Thing From Another Thing". Then they could have made a new one called, "And One More Thing...", and perhaps a musical adaptation called "Thingamajig".
I was thinking 'The First Thing'
and a comedy called "The Thingy"
The Thing From Before would've been a good title.

There are times when I believe that a director's entire body of work would have been entirely different if the critical reviews at that point of time were a littel kinder or more accepting. I know I'm 3 years late for this (and, in a cosmic way, 39 years late), but The Thing (1982) is a masterpiece, and imho, one of the greatest horror films ever made (absolutely love how they play on the team morale, trust, and imposter angle with that movie). John Carpenter's career may not have panned out the way it would have if the original had been a success, but he's still a brilliant director in my book.
With regards to "they're 40 minutes in and only now they're discovering what we already know"
The movie makers probably wanted this to stand on its own and not rely on people's knowledge of the original so they wanted it to have the same pacing
In the original it also takes until the 35 minutes mark to discover what's happening
9:25
"I'm gonna get killed because I floss"
Dude, I can relate to that really well lol. Anyways congratulations on 400k+ James!
Just Some Guy without a Mustache I see you everywhere
I'd rather die if I have dirty teeth
Ya me to I saw you in level up and others
Hi Just some guy with a mustache
Just Some Guy without a Mustache,just saying.
2:14 he nailed it at saying that name.
Adewale is low-key the coolest African name
10:46 I love movies where two people come together.
I don’t think the helicopter transformation looks that bad. I really like the effect of his face slipping. And his chest mouth. The main wonky bit is the cgi aligning of his real face with the split.
I found this channel a long time ago. It started as a casual viewing now its a constant viewing. Keep up the good work James and DeadMeat! You have never disappointed!
Same.
Darkness As Imagined Same! I love this channel!!!
Same
The Lady thing was actually a person is a costume, with some CG slapped on. Really cool.
Oh that's cool!
Kinos141
That's how most cg works
Amalgamated Dynamics had also worked on this film, but the director decided to do the shot scenes completely with CGI.
This is probably the biggest mistake the director has made with this film.
The shot scenes look fantastic, along with some complementary CGI effects, the results would have been far more impressive than the unfortunately published version.

Thank you Kanye, very cool
Sylvia Rohge Not the director, Universal execs forced the CG and an alternative ending.
Having never seen this movie, I had no idea Marty Deeks was here.
Honestly, I would have find this movie a lot more interesting if they did like 'Us' revealing the 'main' character (Kate or I don't know, any other) was actually a Thing all the time and was just manipulating everyone in the base to complete it's goal, whatever it is. The Thing would have been more of a interesting antagonist if it had a more clear goal, it looks like is just killing everyone for funsies, which is kinda ridiculous, if it can pretend to be human, then that means it is a intelligent being, however, almost all scenes with the Thing killing someone makes it seems like it's just some clueless animal who just go for its instincts, but it's not. At the end, it actually tries to talk it's way into Kate and manipulate her, so it proves it is a conscious being, which just make the movie dumber, in my opinion.
Not everything is perfect
@EL AUTENTICO I also like other old horror movies cuz the didn't had that much of animation possibilities so they used ppl to dress as the aliens which made it more life and to my liking
"for funsies" not really. You could theorize that the thing needs fresh biomass to survive. It could also be a parasitic life form. Those do exist in real life you know.
"interesting antagonist if it had a more clear goal" It's an enigmatic alien life form that can mimic any living creature it comes in contact with. The thing is smart enough to mimic speech. Divide people and pit them against each other. The thing as a creature is so damn interesting. Plus we do know what it was trying to achieve. The thing wanted to leave earth. You might've missed that if you didn't watch John Carpenter's the thing. I am not gonna spoil what it is if you didn't watch it. I am just gonna say that it is pretty clear.
"Thing killing someone makes it seems like it's just some clueless animal who just go for its instincts" This was the Thing's first encounter with humans probably. The thing didn't know how would they react to it. It probably didn't see any threatening weapons on the humans, like claws for example, and it presumed that humans were helpless. By the end of the movie, the thing learned how cunning and effective humans can be. Which is why it had a different approach by the end.
@@mcirishmen2558 They actually had a lot of decent-looking practical effects for this movie. It was rejected and replaced with CGI later.
I completely agree. The dumbest moment has to be when she is literally alone with an assimilated Thing, and it fails to kill her. It could've literally walked up to her and started assimilating her. I hate this movie XD
The movie was enjoyable.
Also:
"Wouldnt be a Thing movie without a dog dying."
*Araki liked that*
dacota liked that
John Wick disliked that
“Iiiigggggyyyyyyyy”
You know I sometimes feel like this movie series inspired some things in both jojo and parayste the maxim. Just a idea.
@@applewithsword616 I wouldnt be surprised if this cult classic did inspire something. Parasyte was giving some vibes due to bodystealing aliens. But then again, this isnt too uncommon of a trope.
I actually watched these backward. I saw this one first and the original one a few years later. I was blown away by how amazing the original Thing looked. It was such a good movie. This one, not so much.
Imagine you’re just chilling in a 1982 afternoon and on the other side of the world this is happening
All aboard the hype train, next stop is IT 2017
GabyTheMan 1 that’s gonna be fun
GabyTheMan 1 But there's no deaths lol. I guess it will be like Krampus where he counted captures.
probably but only the lord himself Dead Meat will know
GabyTheMan 1 That's gonna be a really low kill count.
GabyTheMan 1 yes
Wow, I can’t wait for The Thing sequel: The Phantom Thing
Don't forget the followup, Attack of the Thing
Ash will he do it?
MEOW 154 Revenge of the Thing
Don't forget about Think 4: The Thingining
Ash
The lion thing
"lars and the real girl" Such a smooth little reference lol
Can't wait for the prequel of the prequel showing how the thing got stuck
I think that a reason for that "axe leaving thing" was cause it could have Thing's blood on it. So they could be infected.
Okay, yes, that's the reason, but that's not THE reason.
@Brakkk MinecraftWhich is kinda a problem with the whole franchise. Since it can simulate on a cellular level, the Thing is very stupid. Cause all it needed to do, was split, bleed, or even more subtle just put a layer of cells on every dornob. In real life situation, no one would be able to kill it. Even burning wouldn't kill it, cause it would only kill the outter cells, the inner cells would still be alive and infective. Both movies, any time they touched a thing corpse, even with gloves on, they would be infected. Anytime it bleeds, they infected. If they ever in the same area and it breaths, they are infected.
They never state if there was a limit, or anything. Both moves show it's cellular. So even the 'lamest kill' in this video, who just got impaled and bleed out? He'd eventually turn into the thing too.
@@Jirodyne in real life lure the thing in somewhere with death row people and nuke it,that would definitely kill the thing
jirodyne you could of course find something incredibly toxic or radiation and just destroy the thing on a genetic level
Brakkk Minecraft mmm for my take as in the original where one got caught cause it didn’t have enough energy fast enough, I think that overall a few cells here and there would not have the strength especially if left off from the functioning mass too long to fully infect an individual, which is why it prefers up close and personal conversion with a bigger mass or in private if it can
