Think it was just a meme in the 90s because of the alien autopsy video.

Because they became too problematic for general audiences.

>Superior technology and intelligence

>We cannot understand anything about them or their intentions
They are the most terrifying things a human could fear. Too spoopy.

There's not much you can do with Ayys. They're incredibly creepy and can create tension but you can't show a human punching one out or running away so you need strong writing behind it and nothing much will happen until the very end.

They're like reverse zombies I guess.

They were popular in the 80s and 90s because of alleged government leaks and fantastic entertainment like X Files. Then they lost popularity, and now many years afterward here we are.

Yeah they do this with a lot of things. It's an easy tactic. Similarly if they want to destroy someone's influence it's as simple as planting illegal material on their personal computer or giving them false information which immediately discredits them. Or both, if they are merciful enough to blackmail the person into destroying their own credibility, rather than having them put in prison or worse.

Does anyone remember a 90s kino series/movie where the aliens were abducting people and one dude woke up in some alien catacomb on board a spaceship with a skeleton next to him, he climbs up in low-gravity and thinks he sees an astronaut but on turning it's an empty suit then he sees the aliens.

Then I think later it's his wedding day but he's cowering under a table because they've fucked with his eyes and he only sees grey aliens around him.

That being said Resident Alien, despite being a comedy, actually did a really good job of making the Greys terrifying. I'm bummed that the series has ended now, but I'm glad that it at least got to wrap everything up and didn't get cancelled on a cliffhanger.

how many more BBC jokes did you have to endure cause i turned it off after the first one, in episode one.
Anonymous No.214030013

The most egregious episode of the show is one earlier on that has a subplot revolving around the gender pay gap myth. Other than that the show is pretty tame, and the only show in recent years that I can think of that does diversity correctly. The primary non-white group are native Americans, the black sheriff is written as an actual character outside his skin colour, the Muslim is written mainly as a brainy know-it-all which is designed to play of the white kid who is written as incompetent and kinda stupid, mainly to facilitate the fact that he can literally see aliens regardless of the forms they take and why isn't just unravelling the plot.
But beyond all that, the jokes are funny, the show isn't afraid to take the more sentimental moments seriously and doesn't need to cram a quip into everything, and as I said earlier actually manages to make the Greys scary, with the abduction side-plot in the later half of the series a real highlight.

Its just movie making style. Back in the 50 and 60 scifi aliens were always anthropomorphic with big heads. It was thought that aliens would need bigger brains to be smarter than humans. Eventually in the 80s and 90s the bodies of the aliens became frail and slender but still with big heads like in close encounters. Now we are in an era of non anthropomorphic aliens like the ones in Arrival.

No dude. They just share some similarities because they draw on the same material - the one I'm thinking of was brighter light and had a NASA astronaut suit.

Would we know if they did? It seems like they do live experiments on people and we find out from people who get minor stuff to them like tag and release.

We did similar stuff to animals and vivisectional them before we thought they might be sentient.
