Have you ever thought about how in most movies with aliens, they're humanoid? It isn't very likely that almost every extraterrestrial species is bipedal, has two hands, a human-like mouth, etc. Now, I know the point of movies isn't to be realistic. Hello? movie hacking? No, this post is about why. The reason is so that we would better associate with the aliens. With animals as well, for example, we consider dogs with baby-like features 'cuter'. To clarify, it has to be done and I am OK with it. But it's just strange that when we look out at extraterrestrial worlds, we really want to look at our self.
