Why are aliens so ugly?

Every image I have of aliens from modern lore art is, well, they look either very hostile like bees or wasps or bubbly and even deformed. I'm not here to judge, but if this whole alien thingy is a conspiracy, it kinda makes sense. Not that I would feel frightened by a one-and-a-half-meter-tall bee-bipod with no wings anyway. I'd perhaps visualise my Ba's and Ka's, and hopefully it would show me his....

Becuase they appear mostly in scary films, where they are designed to be frightening.

Alough i have to say, i dont find the predator scary, after collaborating with that girl in alein v predator.

You'd be ugly too if you had to ride around in spacecraft that perform High- G naneuvers. How would you keep your food down? What about "jet lag"?

I bet they think humans are pretty unattractive too.


Not a one line post.

Right, it is all in the eyes of the beholder. Besides a lot of the pics are our idea of what they look like. A few claim to have seen them, but other wise it is only what we have imagined.
