Japanese sci-fi:
American sci-fi:
French sci-fi:
British sci-fi:
I love that you chose an American recurring character from the most popular British sci-fi of all time as your example of American sci-fi 😄
Also, Captain Jack is more of an omnisexual perpetually single guy lol
Yeah, just being a bit cheeky. Was trying to think of exceptions to the rule while playing off the premise.
The “Japanese” example is an American movie about two robots in space yearning for each other and for mankind’s return to Earth.
The “American” example is a British series with a recurring (albeit American coded) character who interacts with aliens and engages in a good bit of polyamory.
The “French” example is a Japanese series about a horny bounty hunting crew exploring a galaxy full of breasts.
And the “British” example is probably the most reaching since it’s more realistic fiction than sci-fi, but it’s a newer French movie about a nuclear attack that the US is culpable of escalating.
Had me in the first half.
"The Face of Bo, we used to call him … "
German sci-fi: The future is an intricate clockwork of super-efficient bureaucracy. The threat is something that destroys this blissful utopia.
So what’s the difference between German sci-fi and German social realism? 🤔
My favourite polygamous aliens are the denobulans from Star Trek: Enterprise. I wanna know more about their culture. Each man has three wives and each woman has three husbands, and they’re all allowed to have sex outside their marriages too. I like to imagine most of them are bisexual too and frequently hook up with their spouses other spouses
I wanna know more about their […] sex […] I like to imagine most of them
you’re a lil freaky, aren’t you parsnip
Did the British write Fallout?
Feargus Urquhart (leader of Black Isle Studios* who made the first two, then founder and CEO of Obsidian, who made New Vegas) is a dual citizen of Scotland and the US who was born and raised in Scotland, so that’s a strong “partly” in my book 😁
*which was in fact named after the Scottish peninsula where his family came from
Also Fallout:London is a pretty damn good mod.
That’s very very true!
No way. In Fallout it was China that dropped the first bomb. Or communists that infiltrated the government that made the US drop the first bomb.
Or maybe it was Zetans. Or The Republic of Greg.
Canadian Sci-Fi
Well according to the most complimentary blurb they could find, it’s at least very imaginative… 😄
It was fun. I really enjoyed it.
I actually liked Lexx
Lexx is compellingly weird. I’m with you. But I’m just a simple man from Potatah Hole.
I thought for sure you’d have a picture of the Stargate…
Perfection.
Here’s the British one for anyone wondering
It’s very apt that Meta named their twitter clone after it.
Honestly, as an unfortunate American, that last one is quite fair, especially over the last ten years.
”Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
”Let me answer your question with a question: have you seen the movie Mad Max?”
I really am convinced that’s where we’re headed.
Its a race between mm and waterworld, or a combination of the two
Mad Max: Not enough water
Waterworld: Too much water
A combination of the two: Water just right
Try to shoot Nestle.
Miss? Mad Max.
Hit? Waterworld.
My username is quite fortuitous for this situation.
The French and the Brits both have it right.
Sounds like an opportunity to combine then.
