New Leaked BTS Shot Shows Practical Alien Suit

[SiL]

The full shot looks like one Alien upside down on the wall using its feet to hold on while reaching for Rain.

[Mike’s Monsters]

Rain's foot comes into the frame at the bottom, and a tiny piece of the Xenos arm at the top. It may be confusing the eye. Rain is suspended by a cable and floating around a little bit.

[SiL]

Hard to tell, but even if there were two aliens I doubt Mike could confirm it.

Are we pretending this isn't going to pull an Alien Isolation on us?

I'd be very surprised if we don't end up with that hive being well populated by Aliens at the end. How else do you complete the transition from Alien to Aliens?

Is the the implication that Big Chap is being retconned to always being digitigrade, or that big chap has evolved/changed further between films? Have never been a huge digitigrade fan but I'll trust they have a reason for exisiting for now

This isn't Big Chap.

Spoiler

He's not been shown in the trailer and likely won't be. He apparently just looks like himself.

Oh great!

[Drukathi]

Ah, debates about legs. I don't like this cuz it feels that people who support digitigrade legs act like a sect. No offence guys and gals but I've never heard any logical pros for digitigrade legs except squeaking that plantigrade alien looks like a man in the suite. But is it bad? No, it isn't. Looks and works great. Also, Predator looks like a man except its head and people adore it.

Just keep in mind: the most favorite by the fans alien movies have plantigrade aliens.

Also, digitigrade legs work perfectly for the alien-runner. But does it fit for a human-like xeno? I believe a person who said something like that, found the best solution: "Alien can change "bones" and joints inside its body. In one moment its plantigrade for a reason and in the other moment its "break" its own legs and become digitigrade".

[SiL]

No breaking necessary. The "extra" joint is just the heel. Digitigrade legs are basically shorter legs with longer feet, so they just need things to shrink and grow.

[426Buddy]

Everything below the waste is barely even seen in the first two films.

Well nothing indicates that wouldn't be the case indeed. I'm not sure if I'd like that though.

[PsyKore]

Digitigrade legs are such a typical monster design. Maybe that's why I hate them. I don't think Alien should be typical.

[Nightmare Asylum]

I hereby decree we name this Alien "Bruce," on account of its large jaws.

[BonesawT101]

That suit's structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.

Reminds me of some of the BTS stills from '79.

I love what I'm seeing and I admire it's purity.

The digitigrade legs look better for running and climbing and thats mostly how we see them. Have we seen them running on two legs? Maybe during the powerplsnt seen in avpr but im not sure.

The predator is completely differnt, no one has a problem with it looking like a man in a suite becsuse its supposed, its a humanoid alien like how on Startrek most aliens look identical to us exept for a different forhead or ears or nothing at all.  I dont realy care the type of joints the xenomorph has but i do perfer long and thin limbs. The Alien 3 rod puppet is my fsvorite design. Inalso like the proportions and silhouette of the one from Covenant but dont like the lack of Giger's biomechanical aesthetics.

The Aliens in Aliens looked absolutely fine climbing without them.
