I already got my answer, I'm not arguing with you.
the top half you're basically agreeing with me yet trying to use that to support your argument. We've yet met any aliens that science has legitimately studied, that's right, so why try to assume what an intelligent one looks like based on us? There's no other reason than to make the general audience relate to these characters.
I already got my answer. I will not take your answer or agree with it. I'm done.
District 9 looks bug-like which is a breath of fresh air, but still something new because we don't see a lot of instectoid/nonhumanoid aliens given human like attributes and values. The visual shell of portraying a good guy as the human looking being when in real world we are far from it and the exceptions are the minority.
I'll admit I misread the earthworm bit, but again that should go back to breaking out of your comfort zone and broaden your knowledge. it's that simple.
please point to me these creatures that live outside our planet because aside from a few microbes, there is nothing legitimately big enough for us to study. If you are talking about the UFO aliens cryptozoolgy describes, then it’s barely passable because of how nobody can meet them second time around for them to be studied accordingly.
No general reason? You are telling a story, you need to elucidate the details to readers so why are you trying to fry your mind on the lovelife of the dunwich horror(lovecraft) when your forte are genetic dinosaurs(crichton). I mentioned two authors that are expert to those two characters mentioned. Are you suggesting that the two authors step put of their comfort zones then? Honestly, i only came to this discussion because someone is telling seasoned authors who have created a lot of epic tales of subjects they know by heart to ignore those origins and tells other stories that they are not comfortable with.
i will admit that district 9 is a brand new story but the character design isn’t something new.
