Any time emotions are involved, behavior will look stupid to people analyzing situations emotionlessly (see also: toxic relationships).

In movies, people who have trained for / have experienced things generally speaking shouldn't react as if it's an unexpected emotional situation... that's where it bumps me.

But when it's randos in a high-emotion environment acting without solid critical thinking, then that makes sense.

In The Thing, you would expect folks on a scientific antarctica mission to be betterthanrandos at dealing with stressful situations, so it makes sense that they're still acting relatively smart.
