The Enemy Is Evolution
Another fascinating similarity is that neither enemy stays predictable.
The Thing adapts.
The Screamers adapt.
And adaptation is terrifying because it means yesterday's survival strategy might not work tomorrow.
You think you've figured out how to defeat the enemy.
Then the enemy changes.
That's a nightmare scenario.
Imagine spending hours figuring out how to identify an infiltrator only to discover that the enemy has already evolved around your test.
Congratulations.
You just taught the monster how to beat you.
