Star Trek's Elegant In-Universe Reason Why Most Alien Races Are Humanoid

Comments

1. Nova: Always thought this was kinda obvious, but I guess not every creator thinks through the little stuff like how you draw on Earth's history to create diversity in alien cultures 🙅‍
2. Fractal Cinder: always thought that was an obvious choice, but I guess that's not always the case for everyone
3. Void Beacon: I've never noticed that before - makes the entire franchise feel more intentional than I thought
4. Mirage Wolf: it still holds up today, their design decisions felt informed and considerate of sci-fi as a medium
5. Dusk Warden: i've always been surprised by how much thought went into creating these kind of universes, it's like they knew how much we'd be nitpicking in 50 years
6. Ava: I'd love to see more diversity in alien design beyond just humanoid shapes, but I guess a shared ancestry makes their interactions with humanity more relatable. Still, it's interesting that
7. Milanalixo: i'm still surprised they didn't explore more of the other form designs they sketched out - always assumed it was a cost thing but now it makes me wonder what would've
