WHY IS THE SJ BIGGER IN ALIEN?

[Le Celticant]

The SJ ain't small in the movie from what I remember.
I guess it's just a trailer thing.
But face to face with a human it felt pretty tall.
Even more when it suits up in the chair.

So everyone is now accepting the idea that jockeys are half the size of the original. For no reason. I'd like 5 minutes alone with Ridley...

Wait, you saw the movie? Did you like it?

Does it really matter? Will it ruin the experience of the movie for you?

YES! Simply because the movie never explains why it is twice as big! That should have been the tie in with Alien, not the stupid ending.

Hang on...You're actually requesting this film takes time out of its running narrative to explain the size of an animal?

Milburn: "Wait a minute, Shaw. This Engineer is tiny!? WTF GUYZ?!

Shaw: "Valid point, Milburn. I'd imagine as they serve as a human counterpart, they could vary in size and shape the same as us.

Milburn: OMG THIS IS SHIT THIS WHOLE FILMS A WASTE OF f**kING TIME IM NOT SEEING IT ITS SHIT ITS CRAP IT...

Shaw:
"DDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

[eyeballkid]

The movie makes no damn sense from the very beginning if it does not explain how an ancient race was somehow twice the size of this military outpost crew. NO SENSE! Did they smoke when they were young, did they not eat their vegetables?

I can't wait for someone to ask old Riddles about this in an interview or Q&A.

You want an explanation? Because if they had tried to make it the same size you know they would have ended up using some giant CGI space jockey that looks like something straight out of one of those cheap Syfy flicks. Would you have seriously preferred that?

But then we will get another... And just for the sake of continuity, it will have to be the same size...

So we are happy with a Friday the 13th ending? Big bald guy chasing the girl. Yep! Sounds awesome! Never been done before!
