Personally, I'm a fan of the original smooth head/fluid moving alien as opposed to the "crunchy" ridged head design in Aliens. I also think that the alien is too often portrayed as mindless and easy to kill in some of the novels. Which movies/games/comics/novels do you think most accurately portrays your ideal "Alien?"

I agree that it was the original depiction except for this part

I think the "crab-football-crawl" could've worked if it wasn't deleted. At least they were avoiding the obvious quadrupedal stance with tail wagging.

The Alien was a juvenile which the crawl sort of reminds us. But then to see all innocence die away as it calculatingly and sadistically takes apart everyone invokes sheer terror.

Giger's original Alien was, is, and will always be the best and ONLY true "Alien". Fact. Not an opinion.

quite often the original can never be equalled and to me this is the case. the original xeno is by far the best. even though its a man in a suit when we see the whole thing, it still acts and moves convincingly alien. true masterpiece

I feel a lot of you guys are factoring your own feelings for the movies these xenos are in when trying to determine which design of Xeno is best. Never mind what was going on in the movie, purely visual, which design LOOKS best?

Forgetting the terrible effects and cgi, the Alien 3 alien is pretty sweet judging off the NECA toys.  After that, the resurrection xenos were cool too.  I hate the ridged head Cameron did.  Also think avp xenos were sweet too.  Talking just visually here, the only film I care for out of the 3 I like their xenos from is Alien 3 assembly cut.  The transparent head from BigChap was really cool as well

Acurate portrayal included TYPHON, slaughtering them, well before his mother met her husband and had their son.

This is a different kind of alien. It is much more evolved than the previous beasts. It is not an animal anymore...

I don't like it. Too messed up and deformed. Giger's alien, by contrast, is elegantly horrific. Very hard to improve on.

You do not like it. It is my favorite. You said it is messed up and deformed, I see it superior and evolved. This alien portrayal is elegantly mighty. An improvement on Giger's alien.

It is a spaceman not a beast...

Each to their own. Arms like cotton earbuds aren’t my idea of scary / evolved / superior.

@Hox  A Xenomorph should teach you a lesson.
