Yeah I think most were pretty satisfied with what we got in Covenant.

The legs and oversized jaw tho'

[PAS Spinelli]

Isolation's Xeno is a really good take on classic big chap, although I feel that the legs are a bit too long, same for the tail, Covenant Alien's problem is that it has no biomechanical details (intentional or not), EXTREMELY skinny, looks like it's made out of wood, and just looks like a generic organic alien, which even Adi did better by improving upon the Ressurection design, lol

Stompy has the proper textures, and the lankiness (beyond what your average Big Chap would have) is really just in the leg extension, fingers and comedically snaggy tail. It's acceptable.
 
But I'm going to be real with you all, I don't like the Covvie Alien 90% of the time.
Ultimately it gets off on the same "intent" clause as the Rez Aliens, and it moves nicely, but that doesn't make it satisfying in the way I want from an Alien design.

Yep Covenant Aliens didn't do much for me. I didn't find them terrible either. Just bland.

stick to the topic folks if you want we can open a similar thread in the Alien section


so that I may suck some thick ADI juice there too

[Eighty-Five]

Yeah I didn't really care for the design of David's imitation-Xenomorphs in Covenant either. The 'made of wood' sentiment is apt. It's honestly kinda shocking that somebody who once gave Giger's design so much credit (as Ridley Scott did) seemingly cared so little about accurately replicating it. It was less offensive than the AvP designs I guess, but still falls well short for me.

I miss biomechanical aliens. We always get fleshy-lookin things nowadays. It's less alien and more familiar as a design motif, which worked for Resurrection's hybrid aliens but that's about it imo.

I do find it kinda funny that this Predator issue gets so much discussion nowadays when Aliens have changed far more drastically in design since their first appearance.

Yep ADI preds didn't do much for me. I didn't find them terrible either. Just bland.
