cyrus11 Posted January 13, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2006 why are aliens always naked in the movies? they have the technology to travel galaxies, warp time, what not.. but yet they have yet have the concept of "protective clothing" when entering an alien planet environment. We humans who are not as advanced have the mind to protect ourselves from alien environment... from radiation.. possible microbes....chemicals.. etc.. (except star trek, star wars, battlestar galactica, predator..) aliens in ET.. naked aliens in war of the worlds... naked aliens in taken....naked aliens in independence day...naked aliens in signs... naked aliens in coccoon.. naked aliens in close encounter of 3rd kind...naked alien in fire in the sky.... naked so, is it because the movie makers want us to see them as lower animal like creatures/monsters even though they have space ships and lazer guns? is it because the moviemakers want the audience to feel a sense of assurance that aliens have a weakness and that humans will preveil in the end when a hostile encounter arise? but, c'mon honestly, can anyone friggen answer me why all these big budget movies with their award winning directors and prop designers not have any common sense?

BurnSide Posted January 13, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2006 In earlier movies they were always in space suits. Anyway, unfortunately absolutely everything you know and have seen about the typical ET is a man-made impression. Straight from imagination. So the real question should be why are we always making them naked? Is it that we'd like to think they have evolved past the need of clothing? Perhaps clothing is a strictly human thing anyway.

Super Pancake Posted January 13, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The aliens in WOW were naked, I thought they had suits on! Maybe their bodies are so much evolved they can fight the elements, who know maybe their body can even adapt to any environment. and maybe they don't get pleasure in sex so they dont care if somebody is naked, they only do it to reproduce, hell they probably just clone the best of each other to populate the universe.

In 'Independence Day', they wore space suits. In most films I've seen, aliens were wearing clothing of some sort. There are just a few films that portray variaitions of the Grays as naked.

Yelekiah Posted January 14, 2006 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) And there were alien suits in Fire in the Sky but they didn't wear them. I think it was just for traveling in space. But has it ever occurred to you that maybe they have no shame? Edited January 14, 2006 by Yelekiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelekiah Posted January 14, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 14, 2006 We wear clothes because it keeps us warm, protected and it covers our shame. Perhaps it simply isn't applicable for aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I AAAM Posted January 14, 2006 #12 Share Posted January 14, 2006 And there were alien suits in Fire in the Sky but they didn't wear them. I think it was just for traveling in space. But has it ever occurred to you that maybe they have no shame? Ahhhhhh! Thank you for the chestnut Yelekiah! I will roast it straight away and put it to bed in my gut. Shame? Of what? Your own body? Why? Because we are brought up with shame, and have it pushed down our throats by religions and polliticaly correct identities. I have no shame in my life only pleasure and thanks that I have been created to use all my given senses and to enjoy them and to display them to those who may desire to have evolved enough to be able to accept our nakedness. So what is the shame of being human? Only your own perception. Try to get over shame and fear and political correctness these are all illusions that are created by our conditioning forces to keep you in line mister get over it and show us just how big a person you can be. (No pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirwana Posted January 14, 2006 #13 Share Posted January 14, 2006 But I thought men begun to wore clothes because of cold weather? at least one of the factors I think. If aliens really look like grays their appearance can be due to some sort of advanced space suit.. UFO's or supposedly alien spacecrafts look a lot advanced so we cannot expect aliens to wear space suits like our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryso Posted January 14, 2006 #14 Share Posted January 14, 2006 alien in fire in the sky.... naked True they weren’t wearing cloths when he was on the table or any other time in the film. But if you look closely at the ‘space suits’ you will notice they are a light grey and have large black almond shaped lenses for the eyes! Like what we expect an alien to look like! Maybe they are so far advanced that reproductive organs are no longer needed, and have no need for modesty. Abductees are always saying they harvested genes from them for biological reasons. Maybe their reproduction is all done genetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snuffypuffer Posted January 14, 2006 #21 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I think big hollywood directors just like seeing hot naked aliens. I mean, admit it, you have thoughts. You see that sexy, knobbly, sexy glistening alien protothorax and you just think, damn, I need a drink of water. Sex sells, you know. Even if your a wookie.
