R.J. MacReady

ISTP - 5w6 - sp/so - 583 - Phlegmatic-Choleric - Chaotic Good - SLI

MacReady was a well-trained and fairly dedicated helicopter pilot and, for the most part, was a very level-headed and intelligent man, but he had a cynical, slightly immature sense of humour (most notably shown in the infamous deleted blow-up doll scene) and often drank too much when alone in his shack. He assumed leadership role after Garry resigned and did his best to keep the group in check, but they became suspicious of him, and he took to brash decision making to make them listen to him again, threatening to blow himself and everyone else up with dynamite and even threatening to kill Childs if he didn't do the blood test, even directly killing Clark in self-defence. Despite his progressively harsh attitude and desperate measures, MacReady did genuinely seem to care about the fact everything had fallen apart at Outpost 31 and was determined to prevent the extermination of humanity at the hands of The Thing. To the end of his life, MacReady died a tough but true hero. #KurtRussell
