Good point there. I also like them the way they are - as just a normal species just doing what they do. Making them obvious villains would be disappointing and a bit forced; because then we are just trying to ignore the fact that we humans are just as bad or worse then them. Even the Ripley quote to Burke touches upon the issue slightly;
Ripley: 'You know, Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them f**king each other over for a goddamn percentage!'
