The fact he's not in the semi-invincible ball form during the Sonic 2 part of the "I'm getting hit while going fast!" montage is driving me insane.

Also him going loving insane over getting hit and not dying is loving weird as well.

Yeah they are clearly missing the "press down sometimes" strategy. Most of the poo poo they say is still true though.

As the unofficial guardian of previously recorded lore let me just say that millions of angry nerds have made the knowledge of the semi-invincible ball form apparent to Jack and Rich and their response was "it turns out we're hacks".

Okay because somehow this didn't summon Xenomorph into the thread I'll try to answer as best I can like a responsible thread mother.

In the very first aliens you can almost-sorta see some empty skull-sockets under the aliens head (or at least I read this on wikipedia) so to me that implies that there was thought toward the aliens being able to see even in the first movie.

Fast-forward to the pretty-good movie Alien 3 and its very clear that the alien can 100% see because we get a shot from its perspective and it has this weird fisheye thing going on. Though this alien is from either a dog or a space-ox depending on which version of the movie you saw and so maybe in the game Alien Isolation (which is of course the artwork in which the alien from your question was featured and thus your question pertains to) there were no dogs or oxen around in which case we don't really have definitive proof that the alien encountered by Jack and Rich had eyesight.

Naturally TriGGLetyPlay considered all of this when he wrote his insightful comment.

I was referring to how the alien is skeleton cleverly hiding in a space suit, made of mix of biological and mechanical aspects. It combines the horror of the I forget the term but like abhuman aspects of the corpse transfigured by technology.

If you look at Giger's work you can see a lot of designs that look almost exactly the same as the alien monster. It's like he just gave them something he liked to draw a lot.

And also it's obviously a dick and not a vagina, look at the head.

I like and agree with a lot of RLM's various movie opinions but I think they're a bit weird about "racial pandering" or what ever when ever a non-white person is ever in any of the nerd poo poo they like.

They're not mad because there are non white people in the movies, they are mad because (often, now) the only reason there are Asians in the movie are because it will give them some % increased of Chinese sales. It's a calculated sales move, nothing to do with a desire for diversity or an artistic choice. They are independent film makers, they like freedom of creative choice.
