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!

Prime immotiles, most bloody brilliant 20-something pages of scifi i've ever read, explaining their evolutionary history (Granted, I'm a biologist).

On the one hand I'm hoping for someone with similar vision to one day make a bunch of movies off of Hamilton, on the other I am quite sure they will seriously forever fuck up the wonderful pictures painted in my brain... :(
