It's easier to animate and draw.
Because obviously all aliens were once climbing trees and peeling bananas, that's why they need 4+1 fingers.
Because hand cgi is expensive and only just comming into practice? It is possible for aliens to evolve similar to us, i think the term is convergant evolution, like most mamals have pigment in their retnas ( humans the exception) that boosts night vision, but many of the species didnt come from one ancestor Plus to us, more than five is just hard to understand because no animals have more than 5 fingers, four or less is more common, Also why do they have fingers at all? Why even bring potentialy infectus meatsacs to see us when holograms are cooler HUH HUH
Do you know why this is? BECAUSE ALL THESE ALIENS ARE CREATED BY A HUMAN MIND, it's like every fucking alien sighting "uhh umm yeah a head two eyes and a mouth." It's all just made up bull shit.

[editline]17th February 2011[/editline] Also has anyone noticed that evolution seems to follow rules? all mammals have 4 limbs, not counting tails, 2 eyes, one mouth, ect. why should it be any different on other planets?
[QUOTE=Randdalf;28050643]Yet aliens are generally portrayed as the villains...[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.tokubaiusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/avatar-3d-blu-ray1.jpg/[/media] Not entirely sure... I can think of some other examples... Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, District 9, Halo 2, Halo 3...
Yea while in the 59s and before they were all evil we are starting to make aliens nicer and wiser. Which would make sense because they lived on there planet longer then we did.
Having less fingers is really just an easy way to make aliens look more, well, "alien" to us when it comes to visual representations. If aliens DO exist, it's possible they very well could have equal or more fingers than we do. Also, how could anyone think an alien could be evil when they look so sad like this? :C [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/Ragnarokdragon/d9_christopher_sadface.jpg[/img] Awwww. :<
And to think, I never liked that movie. But I at-least liked it that the aliens that were represented in it were at-least not the same ol' green man or Grey matter. :<
District 9 is probably the most fucked up movie I have ever seen.

I love that movie. And humans don't actually like to stray that far from humanoid aliens with some form of humanoid feature as they can describe them easily. They can draw them as they have an understanding of how they do work and not create something with would be severely impractical. More than 4 fingers and 1 thumb would be harder to create. I swear there is an alien with more fingers than 4 with one thumb on Ratchet and Clank. EDIT: Might have been Monster Inc. actually.

ITT: Everybody scientifically examines the hands and physical features of aliens we've never discovered. Protip: Mass Effect is not a factual representation of our universe.
[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;28131801]Protip: Mass Effect is not a factual representation of our universe.[/QUOTE] What do you mean? are you saying that aliens dont have boobs and everyone speaks perfect english. Whats next are you going to also say that the chances of meeting intelligent life even using there biological bodies is also not "factual"
[QUOTE=Randdalf;28050559]The question you should be asking is, why are all aliens humanoid? Yet it's a virtual impossibility any alien life we encounter in our existence will be.[/QUOTE] Who's to say what we find won't be an intelligent rock or crystal of some sort?
