Well I mean there are the Turians so at least there is that. At least they aren't quarian or asari who are just differently colored humans with maybe some odd number of digits.
Then again I'm not Gen Z and I think part of it is we're counting the hit's and forgetting the misses.
Like yes, there was H.R. Giger's wonderfully weird aliens and whatnot, but then there was also Star Trek with all of it's budget plastic forehead human "aliens".
For as much as someone is lamenting the designs of Disney's Elio aliens, which I haven't been paying too much attention too because I have a bit too much going on right now recently to care. I can guarantee there is going to be some kid out there that is going to "love" one of the aliens enough to be welcomed into /xeno/.
Yeah the streaming and online marketplace has made things things an absolute mess for discoverability or xeno poles as it where, and that they basically nixed both Gantu and Grand Councilwoman from the movie certainly doesn't help matters. But I can guarantee there even 'crummy' media is worth more than it's weight in gold. And we've still got tangential media like streamers playing Voices of the Void - so there is that...
Like I never really cared much for the Star Trek/Star Wars stuff because of all the 'human' elements but Animorphs definitely served as a gateway with all of it's alien species.
Where is my Hork-Bajir waifu dammit!?
