The1PerfectOrganism@ AvP design wasn't thesame as A:R one. They were similar but changes were made (mainly legs). I really like those Aliens. Deacon? Not so much.
It takes some balls to say you like a shitty design, like a bad variant of Freddy Kruger or Jason. But kudos.
You tend to state your opinion as fact and create pseudo objective narration to strictly subjective matter. Still it doesn't change the fact I like nearly ever one Alien design, and think they fit films they were used in. You can really do nothing about it. I would have understood you being purist and discrediting other designs then Giger's original, but putting Deacon as argument is where you really fail.
Well, first off the Deacon isn't exactly meant to be a Xenomorph just something resembling one.
It's more eerily human than any-one of the designs from AVP/AVP2, the only thing closer in spirit to Giger's original is the design from Alien3 and arguably Aliens.
I'm not saying the Deacon couldn't have been better, in fact making the design as it is translucent would've made it a lot better.
But that's really down to Scott wanting it to look less Alien and more parasite.
It still retains it's own sense of eerie beauty, close to the original Alien. Although the design is completely removed of bio-mechanics it has none of the problems that the AVP design has such as the fleshy shoulders, arms and the worst offender of all, the neck which has barely a semblance of symmetricality, never mind biomechanics.
The Deacon also doesn't have: The unrealistic tail or dopey monster hands, although the Deacon's hands are admittedly quite large that is likely due to it being a cross-breed of human and Engineer.
In terms of the Xenomorph I am a Giger purist when it comes to impregnating humans.
But the Deacon can't qualify exactly as the traditional Xenomorph, nor can anything spawned by the Engineer's Vases.
And your correct about AVP design serving the film it was in, it does, a bad design serves a bad film.
Above is a Xenomorph.
This is in no-way a Xenomorph, maybe a cousin species that resembles it somewhat, perhaps even grows to be it but not as it stands.
And as for AVP, tubes teeth and a phallic shaped head does not a Xenomorph or Alien make.
