The trope in Sci-Fi movies and games that sentient and intelligent aliens are humanoid is boring.

I know that there are outliers to this but it’s still a way overused trope. I could exhaust everyone’s day with a list of the movies and games that have humanoid aliens. Humans evolved to walk on two feet because it suited us in our way of life. An alien might come from a world where the gravity is higher, so walking on four legs is the only way (Elcor from Mass Effect). Some might come from an ocean world and don’t possess legs, so they have to use technology to move around on land (Hanar from Mass Effect). It’s a cheap and uninspired concept that keeps getting used.
