Although I prefer the 'ridge' design on the xeno I agree with you about Alien 3, only retards and Blomfag shills say otherwise.

>>69090355
The original is great, but I wasn't a fan of the human shaped feet.

I like the idea of the smooth dome turning into a hardened/rigid texture as a sign of maturity. The films haven't done enough with the alien designs to be honest, I want to see more variety like the comics and video games.

I said feet, not legs.

Just because they take on the genetic traits of their hosts doesn't mean every body part has to be the same shape.

Yes, more animal variants.

I find it hard to believe that in AvP:R there wasn't a single 'deer/stag alien' with all those facehuggers running around in the woods.

How does this make sense? They're parasites. The facehugger doesn't lay the eggs in their bellies for them to be fertilized, they lay them in a warm and secure place so they can grow, Right?

Big Chap looks like he's wearing wedge shoes.

The alien warrior has vaguely human shaped feet but they're elongated and have claws instead of toenails.

Regardless, I think Big Chap's feet look dumb.

They obviously designed them that way so it'd be easier for the guy in the suit to walk around during filming.

The alien's right foot is clearly resting on the heel as the left coming forward.
Just stop mane, you're embarrassing yourself now.

Caveats being Alien 1's design was limited by being a guy in a suit and also Aliens get commendations for the Queen, that was amazing.

Alien is better the closer it sticks to giger.

I hate every variation of the Alien design apart from the original.
Everyone took Giger's original design and tried to make it look more 'badass' by adding a bunch of spikes and shit and making it appear more animalistic. This is missing the point of what made the Alien such a great design in the first place. The alien should appear humanoid and incorporate strong sexual imagery. It should look just as likely to rape you as kill you.
This design >>69094549 is one of the few that probably adheres to these ideas, but it's lacking that distinctive 'biomechanical' look.

Is it so far fetched to think that the aliens are able to mature though?
Growing spikes and ridged skulls makes them tougher to kill, which benefits the species.

>The alien should appear humanoid and incorporate strong sexual imagery. It should look just as likely to rape you as kill you.

If the alien's host is humanoid, then yes. The facehuggers, chestbursters and inner mouth 'skull raping' tongue still represent sexual imagery, it shouldn't matter how many spikes or claws the final creature has.
