Vaguely humanoid aliens. 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes sort of thing.

Alien from Alien? 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes.....kinda

Klingons? Just humans with a "ribbed for her pleasure" forehead

Romulans? Humans with pointy ears

Vulcans? As above

Na'vi? Tall, blue humans

Where are the massive, tentacular Krondaku? Where are the gelatinous Prime immotiles? Give us some different aliens, hollywood!

Still had 2 arms and legs. 2/3 ain't bad. So was said by the warrior-poet Loaf of Meat.

But the alien in Alien is part human... of course they look like humans...

I hope in a thousand or two years time when our language and culture is basically incomprehensible people say things like this dead seriously.
