Edit: please excuse the typo. I probably shouldn’t use Sunforged as an editor.
Good Sir, I am far too.old and grumpy to be excusing typos. You should be ashamed. I demand a retraction, and I will be writing a very tersely worded letter to your editor.
This meme compaiont contains too many letters. Please remove three. I am not a crackpot
Star Wars is like the defining fantasy space opera. Star Trek is peak episodic sci fi. The fact that such wildly different genres can fall under sci fi is part of what makes the genre both fascinating and nonsense as a categorization. And that’s not even bringing space westerns into the fold.
As a fan of both, neither are truly Sci-fi. They both use it as dressing, but one is an action fantasy and the other is drama with emphasis on social commentary. Neither are really harder sci-fi than the other in the grand scheme of fiction. Star Wars may even be a bit better in that at least they don’t try to explain most of the tech so it can’t self contradict as much as Trek does.
Typo in the first panel was really confusing.
Let the meme wars commence!
Meme wars are hellsome
I said LET THE MEME WARS COMMENCE
are all SW fans this materialistic… maybe that’s the difference…
I don’t think my region’s definition of materialistic is the same as yours, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say?
I think Theo had made it clear they gave no idea what materialistic means.
makes me wonder if one’s worldview is materialistic, whether your definition of the word would be useful… because it would be coming from inside materialism, which we wouldn’t want to trust to be honest about itself…
apparently it will argue in meme though, which makes a lot of sense… materialism and image go together well…
try taking some deep breaths, Padawan
I’m alright, I just like making memes.
I do have absolutely no idea where this materialism stuff came from, so I am quite confused.
I don’t think DS9 is universally held up as the best but it has a unique subset of Trek fans who absolutely love it. Their enthusiasm for their favorite might actually peak higher than any other title’s fans. But they are not a majority.
finger wags
“You tell 'em, Benjamin!”
I just know there could be a bonus panel here where one of them smacks baby Grogu, but I can’t think of it.
Ahahaha.
Maybe Grogu saying “I like both” or something like that?
Lol. That’s perfect.
What framing device and how is DS9 different in that sense? Like how the story is framed as a mirror to current society?
The exploratory space ship framing.
I actually like Voyager the best, because it has most of the action. I also love the dumbass time travel shit. Fuck you, time travel is cool! 😭
