Sci-Fi Creatures
Oct 1, 2017 07:16:21 #
As I was looking at all the beautiful pictures of animals members posted here today, it occurred to me that when sci-fi movies show distant worlds, they may have humanoid creatures, but they have nowhere near the variety of creatures that we have on earth. I guess it would take too much effort and money to populate an alien world. Imagine what the world would be like if we didn't such a variety of life.

Yes. I did it on purpose to see if anyone would notice.
Sometimes I type so fast the computer an't keep up. Is that believable, or should I make up another excuse?

A lot of those alien critters aren't things you'd want as a pet. Sci-fi isn't too favorable to the aliens and their lifestyles in general.
Alien lives matter!

What I have always noticed as that nearly all the "aliens" in these sci-fi movies are very much like us, two eyes, arms of some kind, legs of some kind, generally symmetrical in the body, ears to hear and mouths to utter noises. I guess we just cannot improve on God's original design.....

At least not on TV.

What a wise man!
Say it with conviction, and people will believe it. Put a
after it, and people should know you're kidding. Oct 2, 2017 13:01:58 #

It's tough to find actors who don't look like people.

You are lucky that you can think faster than you can type. The other way around would be sad. :)

I'm new to this site....and commenting on sites in general....but I am a sci-fi fan and agree. However, you should take a look at the animals they came up with in "Avitar". I thought they were pretty creative and, although you could identify the analogous earth creature, there were stark differences. Such as: The horses nostril's were on their shoulder - almost all of the animals had six legs - and some of the insect life had interesting wing configs. In addition, the "huminoid" species native to the planet had three fingers and a thumb.....as well as a tail.
