Yeah, in the full piece you also see the interesting implication of the lotus buds before they flower completely. H.R. Giger probably didn't give any of this consideration in his biomechanical quest to create horrifying meditations on the phallus but it's interesting we can see adjacency.

Once upon a time, from a distant land overseas, green giant warrior-magician perverts in armor came to attack a civilization & steal its most beautiful queen who embodied the virtues they treasured. How could that possibly inform a conversation on xenomorphs and pew-pew power armor technologies?

"Your ancient myths about men recruiting living bioweapons such as simian beastmen like Hanuman to defeat the giant monsters created by the science and magic of evil galactic empires would have no bearing on a science fiction story of robots, cyborgs, synthetics, and hybrids, Southeast Asians"

US arts & media are so dismissive of conversations they COULD have if they let SEAsian voices chime in with our perspectives on nothingness, reincarnation & consciousness, karma & dharma, violence & duty and cycles of repetition in the cosmic void, the fate of colonizers & capitalizers. Missing out!

Detail from the Laomagination Patreon's discussion of Southeast Asia and the Vietnam War metaphor in Aliens & how we would treat the questions xenomorphs raise in our encounter with "non-human" possibilities of being and who defines that esp. within Buddhist gestalts.

I'm sure it's delicious, but at $16 I can't condone it without risking a portal of outrage opening across the multiverse
