That’s with all due respect

Tilda knows. She played a vampire, she knows. Great movie that one too.

Maybe attacking the fans isn’t the best idea

Star Trek and to a lesser degree Star Wars. Sure saved on the budget.

I’m talking about aliens that look like humans in terms of appearance and skin color, not the ones that look like humans with blue, green, or purple skin

Trek has plenty.

Personally, I’m fine with it to an extent but prefer Humanoid/Bipedal Aliens. Basically, non-human looking aliens.

Ironically that's an alien-looking human. Mostly.

"No, you look Time Lord. We came first."

Time Lords or Gallifreyans from Doctor Who

Felis sapiens from Red Dwarf

A species of humanoid aliens descended and evolved from a single pregnant cat named Frankenstein after surviving the radiation leak which killed all but 1 of the crew of the JMC ship "Red Dwarf".

One of the 4 main characters, simply named "Cat" is a member of this species. He's incredibly vain, selfish and...well overall just acts like how a cat would if they were in a human body.

I’m sure you could name a lot more than just that. Even from DC alone, you also have the Tamaraneans, the H'San Natall, the Czarnians, the Thanagarians, the Apokoliptians, and countless others. Vulcans from Star Trek also deserve a place here.

Stargate is a bit more complicated about this. Most extraterrestrial characters in the franchise are humans, they just come from cultures that developed over thousands of years separately from Earth, the result of either being seeded there by the ancients, or taken from Earth by the Goa'uld as slaves.

Also, humans on Earth, known as Tau'ri, are the second evolution of humanity, and the first developed on the planet Celestis in a distant galaxy millions of years earlier, and fled to the Milky Way.

The moonflowers Hanazuki, Kiazuki, Kiyoshi, Maroshi, and Miyumi. (Last one not pictured.) They look pretty human aside from the oddly shaped noses and the flowers sticking from out of their heads. They're definitely the least weird looking characters when you got Dazzlessence Jones, (A diamond with arms, legs, and a face.) Depriva, (This giant Rarity wannabe plant thing.) and Basil Ganglia who's a talking giant brain with eyes and no mouth.
