@NewNickostudiosX Childs was infected. If you watched Macready's chess plotline you would notice that he knew Childs was infected. Google it, it's really complicated.

But how can childs be dead while macready is alive

[TheGroveling]

whatte hell 'ey dudes here are arguing about sience fiction it's fiction fools somebody made it up u don't have to argue about it

@Shanethefilmmaker That is a valid point except that the thing was only ever frozen because it was encased in ice, and an even better point is that they say childs is dead and when you see him you know hes dead. Also if they were both infected they wouldn't have a standoff at the end. I'm just pointing out that if the video game is cannon the most logical explination is that RJ is infected.

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@Kravockian Well the thing each cell of it, has a sense of self preservation, in my opinion the Childs thing wanted to be frozen so it can be discovered and infect more whilst the Macready thing is self loathing and wants to be the only member of its species, so what does it do. It waits for someone help it. Ergo both can survive the cold while one chose not to freeze itself.

@Shanethefilmmaker Oh no doubt, just my thoughts on such a great series thats been overlooked. I just find it hard to believe that childs could be frozen but RJ is relatively fine.

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@Kravockian True but the thing so far only dies by incineration. We never know if it dies from other burning chemicals such as alcohol. Plus just because Childs is frozen doesn't mean he couldn't be the thing since thats how it survived the first movie.

[Kravockian]

@Shanethefilmmaker In the game you find Child's frozen to death, yet look at the ending there RJ seems fine. Pretty one sided, the only thing is that he is a fan favorite so they are slow to accept it. Also the alcohol may have killed the cells of a simple backwash. 

[Shanethefilmmaker]

@boriska808 When someone drinks from the bottle they backwash, meaning some of their saliva gets in with the drink. It takes at least 1 cell to infect you so if Childs or Mac were the thing, they would have infected one and other. Another possible theory is that, if the thing has successfully imitated a character for a long time they become that character so even if Macready is infected it wouldn't change his personality. The infected Palmer was a better example during the spider head scene.
