Poor thing
The saddest, most haunting scene you will see Sad
This monster is half human.
Don't watch if you don't want to waste "Aliens: Resurrection":

I suppose I’m just a callous, heartless bastard - the fate of people in the land of make believe doesn’t affect me all that much.

Not for theatrical tragedy, I don’t. I find it hard to empathize with pretend monsters. I save my grief for hungry children in Palestinian refugee camps, for African families who can’t get access to medical care because of local warlords, for the millions of displaced people around the world.

But you go right ahead and feel sorry for the space creature.

At work.

Wait, I'm confused.

WinterHold is asking for people to 'Feel' and 'Empathize' with a fictitious being whos genesis is that of an (Relativly) insane genetic experiment the purpose of which was to artificially create a tractable slave species with which said corporation could 'Sell' and hence make profit from as a 'Bioligical weapon'. One of which side effects is to also be simply terrifying?

What, the actual, fek?

At work.

The simple reason the original Alien was so alien is exactly that. It's biology, life cycle, everything was 'Different' from terrestrial norm.

Mr Geiger's bio-organic art style certainly helped add to that 'Otherness' and 'Uncanny valley' to which the Human phsyche is prone.

You’re over-analyzing, I think. The proper take-away is that Winter cares more about fictional goop monsters than he does about actual people.

True.

Thouth the movie itself is a good example of the creators (Writers, Directors etc) not having any good ideas or grasp of the original source material.

"Evil corporations doing evil corporation things." can only go so far before falling into the trope of "It's not truly evil until it's insane Nazi-superscience evil." inane trope.

Though "Overlord" the movie actually does the "Hideously evil Nazi-super weird science" theme rather well. I must say.
