For this to be a fair representation they should be separated by decades, since special effects played a super important role in how alien forms were portrayed. I’ve read that in Star Trek TOS most alien life was humanoid and basically human because of lack of special effects, which changed after this, specially with Klingons.
I’d argue it is not problematic per se that they portrayed them in hat way, since honestly what could be considered terrifying for us can be perfectly normal everywhere else, but rather how they do it, which is in a negative, violent and individualist manner.
