Best Portrayal of the 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

H.R. Giger's original design for "Alien"...nuff said.  

Concur with Xenotaris

Surprised there's no love for the Covenant version ITT

I like it a lot, but before it was a lot.

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  

Double post sorry. I’m new here.

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.

Xenomorph displayed at the Giger Museum.

Awesome ;)

I also dont think the Xeno from Aliens was mindless they was acting as far as a purpose within its Hive Colony and they actually showed a lot of intelligence and out thinking the Humans on LV 426 on more than one occation.

I do prefer the look of the Original Aliens head however, and so yes a modern look based on the Smooth Head is the one i favor.

The protomorph in covenant and AVP aliens in my opinion 

The revelation of xenomorph learning and strategy in Aliens was a boon the the whole AVPverse.  If there were some cut of the xenomorph in Alien 3 that kept the scenes in the director's cut but retained the canine origins, that would be great but we can't have nice things I guess.  I almost hate Resurrection but I did like the design and movement of the xenomorphs that weren't white baby face.  How they sacrificed one of their own to escape was one of the best things about that turd of a movie.  
AVP 1 and 2 on PC was great playing as xenomorph, so was playing as "6" of AVP2010 for PC.  In AVP 1 you really had to think and strategize like a xeno, destroying lights and being sneaky and patient, waiting for the right moment to show a poor fool what nightmare fuel looks like.  I miss playing that online and hiding up in a dark corner and lmao as dumb human players backed right into my jaws.  Also the one time I was in a match with lifecycle mode on and my xeno team kicked so much marine butt, (especially myself, one marine player said I was God) we all became pratorians and the marines left the match.  We were like...sooo what we do now?  We need marines.  I was like, "I'll be your huckleberry...", left, rejoined, and beat them undefeated until they all quit.  Good times.

Looks like I may be an outlier here, but the praetomorph from covenant was my favorite. It may just be that iconic shot of the alien staring into the camera, but that shot is chilling to me. The neomorphs I thought were equally as brilliant, and probably the scariest iteration of any alien in any movie.
