Studio executive: let’s do alien cats! Yeah, no one will be expecting that! What about alien cows? I’m on a roll here! Alien dwarves!

Dunno man. I get the best kicks out of arcs that explore the evil mankind is capable of, but the movies seem to keep chucking large amounts of cgi and jump scares. It’s like they don’t care about the source material at all. Now it’s all about scientist or goofy kinds on a jaunt in space, make goofy decision, discover or release alien spawn, firefight, running, showpiece shot, etc
