>Uncomfortable and terrifying mix of human and animal
>Incorporates aspects of both male and female sexuality to be intimidating to everyone
>Alien and unique enough be terrifying and instantly identifiable
>Plain intimidating with the tail, claws and teeth
>Other than that it's alien life cycle is a mix of body horror and rape

There is a reason that the xenomorph's design had been endlessly copied and milked since it was created, H.R. Giger actually managed to make something so original and terrifying it's difficult to tell if something as good will ever come again.

It's such a shame now that he's dead that other designs, even in the series, just won't be the same. The neomorph in Alien Covenant is just nowhere near as exciting and unique as the original one.

Will anything ever compete?

I guess the long weaponized tail and the resemblance to a reptile is what makes it more frightful
along with the fact that he's portrayed as unstoppable and reckless, at least in the first movie
pic related is a very similar character

bitch please.

Xenomorph is overrated and basically a cliche at this point. There are plenty of monsters that are far superior.

far superior and totally not overrated and basically cliche, indeed.

>grotesque animals
about 4.
>insects
1 technically.
>plants
1
>zombies
1 maybe 2.
>clowns
literally none of them are clowns.

I'm getting the feeling you're a newfag when it comes to horror.

giger had a legit unique style, but he was kind of a one trick pony at the same time. Remember alien is a 70s movie and he only died recentlyish, even he didn't improve on it.

>no clowns
Bottom left, dummy. Get your eyes checked.

>>86450153
Well you're an idiot because those aren't clowns. They are aliens.

The thing I always liked about the Xenomorph is the way it appears to take on (partially) the form of what species it uses as a host for gestation. It's somewhat humanoid after taking a human host but they could potentially take other forms depending on the host.

Like the lame Hybrid in AvP

in that terrible third film, it runs on 4 legs because he came from that dog/cow. I always wonder what it would look like if it came from a different animal, like a big bird, or a big snake or something with a different shape

Alien Isolation is a fantastic portrayal of the xenomorph because it gets everything about it right.
Everything about that game was gold. The parts where it would ambush you from above were great, and the parts where it would sprint towards you when you saw it were great too.
I mean, you never really get a clear view of it moving in the films (i know its made that way for the horror effect), but the game really nailed how intimidating the way it movies is.
It ran very much like something prehistoric and it was quite frightening when it ran at you.

Also the only thing I didn't like was how its tail dragged along the ground when in the movies its tail was up in the air the whole time

It has been surpassed by its actor:

I feel like both ways have a place. If the Alien is just wandering, I can imagine its Tail would drag. But if it knows someone is about, the Tail perks up and begins to wave a bit like a dog. But rapier and more sinister.

>>86455805
I mean like when it was running I think its tail was up, but when you're hiding under desks and shit and it walks past, its tail aways drags along the ground which was admittedly kind of scary. I just wish they'd use the tail impalement killing method more in the films, if i recall correctly, the only alien to kill someone with its tail was the queen, but in the game it killed you with its tail all the time, and it was very scary to see the tail sticking out of you and all

No. Other monsters are just copies of creatures that have existed on Earth made bigger or more grotesque. Dinosaurs, apes and insects all have their monster versions. The alien, on the other hand, has no living representation. It's based on symbology we have embedded into our subconscious. It's head, inner mouth and tail are all phallic in nature. It has long, beautiful limbs like a pin-up girl. It reproduces by raping your face with a vagina and you are killed in childbirth. It's ribs and skull resemble a human skeleton. The whole thing is just a blend of sex and death, with a few mechanical elements such as pipes and vents thrown in. Nobody has ever designed anything like it.

The Thing is a better monster.

I still like Zilla's design. It's a shame the movie was such shit.

You surely are a smart individual, not.

>>86457080

This is a great analysis. Is it yours or did Giger's explain it like that?
>>
>>86457080
And its arousing as fuck, both the facehuggers and the full grown alien.
