Why is sci-fi so... fucking... stupid?

It's almost as bad as horror

2001: A Space Odyssey obliterates your argument

It's often firmly constructed around some sort of super advanced tech and society, written by people with no actual clue about either

>people don't know about the future
wow surprise

please look up obliterates in the dictionary, you must have been looking up antonyms in a thesaurus by accident?

>this homo thinks sci-fi is about pew pew lazers!

read a fucking book, faggot

>>people don't know about the future
>wow surprise
not the argument

>le 40 minute animal planet documentary and 40 minute LSD trip : the movie

"good" sci-fi will be boring to the average person. If you want a boring as fuck "good" sci-fi story then read "Inherit the Stars". The issue is that there is no antagonist and that biological science eclipsed 1970s knowledge by now it's weird to read about alien encounters with such limited discussions of molecular analysis.

>It's often firmly constructed around some sort of super advanced tech
This is the problem, not the discussion of the tech itself but the fact that the stories are vehicles to showcase hypothetical places technology could go. All the best and most interesting sci-fi have used those hypotheticals to explore the human condition, the tech is a means to a human end and not the end itself.
See Dune, in which none of the minutia of the tech is explained and you could give a fuck.

You are in no position to talk, Yea Forumscksucker.

>triggered at the sight of anything marvel related
yikes

I was wondering this this past week too. Sci-Fi tends to attract a LOT of fucking retards for some reason. And when they get any power to direct, they make fucking dogshit like Altered Carbon the new Battlestar reboot or some other grindhouse ass.

Because George Lucas told everyone that it's okay for Sci-Fi to be retarded. George Lucas killed Sci-Fi as a movie genre. Sci-Fi now survives only through literature.

Nobody knows what the fuck you think you're talking about. George Lucas is one of the few people to ever do Sci-Fi competently in the history of cinema, tv, video games, books or literally anything else. Most Sci-Fi is horrid ass.

Think the core issue is pic related.
So many have their heads so far up their asses they honestly believe ayyz are edgelords ready to wreak havoc on mankind for no reason. I tried to get on their level and watch this nonsense, but even when lowering the bar that much, the retardation is still as clear as day and these films are almost unwatchable.
That, or the personality of the aliens are made quite literally like humans; but in ugly prosthetic makeup. And if they're not like us personality-wise, they're made completely robotic with no personality. All-around awkward and just, cringy.
There really is no creativity in most sci-fi.

Oh my god this might be the most plebian opinion of all time. If you're OP then that explains why you made this thread. Star Wars isn't just shit Sci-Fi, it isn't Sci-Fi at all. I suggest you stop pretending to be a fan of a genre you've never investigated, you obnoxious retard. Holy shit, Star Wars is "competent" compared to real Sci-Fi literature? Please tell me your top 3 Sci-Fi novels, right now, or you can fuck off back to the capeshit thread.

Way to completely void the merit of your shitpost by accusing that retard of being Op, then continue projecting your hatred towards marvel.

I realize you're literally 15 years old, but 1: nu wars is fanfiction, so nobody gives a shit about My Immortal: Star Wars Edition and 2: you'll never be cool by hating shit everyone likes.

What? Extraterrestrials are far more likely to look like what a human would consider an abomination than to look like fucking humans with cat ears. This is some of the most fucking retarded shit I've ever seen.

Screenwriters are lazy fags not scientists. Ergo they frequently fuck up and even ignore scientific advisors. So you wind up with a retarded movie.

What do you mean sci-fi is stupid? The tropes, the technology, what?

The Expanse and Firefly are pretty good, give them a try if you haven't already. A lot of sci-fi is boring as shit and a ton of what authors include in their books and TV shows is very decade specific so it can feel dated pretty quickly.

Oh god, the absolute WORST thing a director can ever do is listen to a "science advisor". You'll start getting dogshit "hard sci-fi" then, which is the absolute worst of a genre already filled with shit.

>like what a human would consider an abomination
No. That never made sense.
>fucking humans with cat ears
Pic related is a human with cat ears. Rather a grey alien with a fuckton of makeup.
You're delusional if you think M'ress is anything like that.

You're dumb as shit. There are weirder looking creatures outside your window right fucking now than the shit that appears in the zaniest of alien movies. But no, something from the bleeborx galaxy is going to be a human with green skin and antennae.

>There are weirder looking creatures outside your window right fucking now than the shit that appears in the zaniest of alien movies.
What shithole do you live in? We have squirrels, butterflies, dogs, and *gasp* cats where I'm from.
>But no, something from the bleeborx galaxy is going to be a human with green skin and antennae.
That's more edgy b-tier nonsense. Please, post what you think an ayy looks like. Bet you have something quite interesting if you think anything else that walks with a big head is "stupid and human"

Sucks to be you, we are in a hard sci-fi renaissance.

How does a butterfly look anything like you? And what about Isopods? Or Springtails? Or House Flies? Even fucking birds look less like you than 99.999% of aliens ever depicted. What the fuck do you think an extraterrestrial will look like? A vulcan?

Which is why tv and movies suck. Congratulations, you played yourself.

>horror
>bad
pleb or brainlet

Horror is literally the plebest tier of movie. Romcoms are more intelligent and enjoyable.

>focusing on insects and sea creatures as if they're even relevant
wow
>What the fuck do you think an extraterrestrial will look like?
Pic related. Now, are you going to post what you think an ayy looks like? Or continue shitposting?

>somebody made this entire image because they were buttmad theres no sexy furry aliens in media

>focusing on insects and sea creatures as if they're even relevant
That was the entire point, you fucking moron. You can literally find things in your backyard in 10 seconds that look more different from humans than all the aliens on tv or movies combined. This reveals how lacking in creativity Hollywood and Sci-Fi writers are.

>Pic related.
So you're a retarded furfag and just want Sci-Fi to be retarded furshit. We're done.

ZOOMER GENOCIDE NOW.

>it continues shitposting

wow. you are completey retarded.

really hope you were being ironic this entire time

Aliens capable of interstellar travel would at the very least need sensitive, dexterous, tactile appendages like our arms and fingers to manipulate tools and interface. They need some form of nutrient consumption (though their nutrients could be very different from our own). They need a form of locomotion, which could also be the aforementioned appendages, or something completely different. They need a sufficiently flexible means of communicating with one another. Other than that, literally anything goes. Intelligent aliens will be, in all likelihood, hundreds of times more physically and biologically distinct from you than you are from a tree, or from something that lives at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, or a single-celled organism. A lion girl, or whatever that thing is you keep posting, while possible, is extraordinarily unlikely to exist compared to the immense diversity of possible intelligent life forms.

Sci-fi is probably the most kino genre.

which you could just as accurately say about literally every other example

or was that the joke?

Are both of you illiterate?

You're stupider than sci-fi

Do you know how probability works?

Why are you deadset on thinking aliens absolutely have to look like your furry waifu? Do you have brain damage?

>Why are you deadset on thinking aliens absolutely have to look like your furry
I'm not? Where have I even implied this? Thinking you're deadset on ayyz having to absolutely look like edgy abominations though.

>horror is bad
Suspense and pg13 atmosphere fag spotted

Star Wars is Science Fantasy, not science fiction. The Force, knights, old monks, it's all fantasy tropes with a space age veneer on top with the fight of good vs evil at its heart. Sci Fi is more about the human condition and how new technology and situations brought upon by that tech affect people. If Star Wars is science fantasy, then Blade Runner is science fiction.

I'm not the guy you were talking to earlier. All I'm arguing is that the likelihood of visiting aliens looking even remotely like humans, or even any lifeform on Earth, is extremely slim considering they would come from an entirely separate path of evolution that at no point was shared with our own. Possible, but extremely slim. Like one in a billion billions.
