There are two Alien fans when it comes to design.
Those that like their Aliens as actual alien organisms, unique and scary and f**ked up. Something we've never seen before, something different. They like the first two designs most.
Then you've got those that like their Aliens as walking shits with a slightly mean temperament that looks sort of like it's trying to be the Alien, but clearly belongs in a ripoff somewhere back in the 80s. They like the AR/AvP design.
The third design is a mixed bag.
Or maybe everybody wants the first one, but defines what that entails differently, and your opinion isn't gospel law? Something to consider. Although consideration is not a prerequisite of making it true.
I mean, you seem to think that the pose in the photo of debate looks like something any kid could do, yet somehow you also don't seem to believe that any kid couldn't just move smoothly across a screen if you didn't see his/her legs scooting along out of frame. Which they could. So to me, that's even more unimpressive, because anybody can appear to "glide"
from the waist-up. Now, show me somebody who can seem to smoothly glide from the KNEES up, and we're going somewhere.
By the way, you left out the "Cameron ruined the Alien! Only the first and third movies had decent designs!" people.
