Star Trek or Star Wars?

@Background Pony  
I don’t think anyone likes enterprise.

Neither really

My sides XD

Yeah, not to nerd it up, but lazers only work on certain surfaces and weaponry wise only have certain uses. Taking out missiles or projectiles is a good use for lazers, but you’ll never see such a thing as a lazergun in actual combat. The reason being is that the safest place to be then would ironically be in a bunch of trees, cause ironically enough there’s a lot of things lazer weaponry couldn’t burn through, trees being one of these.

@uc9  
Star Destroyers don’t use lasers, they fire condensed plasma, and they do in fact have shields,

I like both and I grew up with Star Wars, but if I’d have to choose… Star Trek, I tend to like the universe more because it seems most plausible.

I’ll now take a Third option and Say Universal Century Gundam

@trashboat  

 
While we’re at it let’s add Stargate

@Background Pony  
Atlantis was way better than post season seven SG1.

You know, I’m incredibly surprised that I haven’t seen Universal century gundam/Star trek fanfiction yet

@trashboat  

@uc9  
I know that It’s probably a Joke, But I don’t even like Gundam that much, (I chose it because the only other mecha I know that could count Is The J9 trilogy)
 
My favorite Anime is actually King of braves: Gaogaigar

Anyone seen Birdy the Mighty: Decode? If so, what do you think of it?

@trashboat  
Oh god!

@Dex Stewart
 
Yeah more Orville would be appreciated, especially given what an absolute shitshow modern Trek is…

@Ebalosus  
 
Star Trek: Overwatch

@Dex Stewart
 
Wait, is that real?!

@Ebalosus  
I think so. I can’t find credible info,but that picture is everywhere.

Star Trek. Used to be a pretty big Star Wars fan but am currently enjoying what star trek has to offer more. Actually, I wouldn’t say just enjoying, but rather being invested every time I watch some Trek. I think episodes in TNG and DS9 are just so well scripted & engaging. Some of my preferred Star Wars content like The Clone Wars just isn’t as nuanced in my opinion, the whole series just seems to be heavily focused on blowing things up a lot of the time. Shooting the others or swinging the sabers.
Don’t get me wrong, ANH, TESB, ROTJ and ROTS I think are movies that will always be timeless and admittedly more accessible to the average person than most of Star Trek. Still, so much other media already involves tangible action-based conflict, wars, battles & the like. Can seem numbing and unnecessary after a while. My current more politically oriented mind I think finds more inspiration in Trek’s “how do we prevent a war & injustice” approach as opposed to “how do we best fight this war?”
