South Korean Alien: Covenant Poster Cares About What’s On the Xenomorph’s Mind

You know how we see tons of horror characters that have their villains always on their mind? Like how Sidney is always thinking about Ghostface in the Scream series? Or Nancy with Freddy? Did any of us stop and think about what might be going through the antagonists’ minds? For all we know, they’re just as worried and self-conscious as the heroes we cheer on!
Why do I bring this up, you ask? Simple. It’s because the latest poster for Alien: Covenant, this one hailing from South Korea, shows a Xenomorph head and the cast of the film are photoshopped into his banana-shaped noggin. For some reason, all I can think of when I see this poster is the Xenomorph going, “Gosh, I sure wish they’d stop trying to shoot me. I know I’m a little rough around the edges but if they gave me a chance, they’d see that all I want is a hug.”
