Why is it that every film that takes place in space has a childish crew that chimp out over trivial and immature bullshit. The crew always look and act like a bunch of freshmen collage kids. Without fail there is usually fighting among the crew for overly emotional and immature reasons, fighting during meal times, snarky comments left and right, some chad is always fucking the female crew members. It seems that very few movies that take place in space actually bother to make the characters seem as if they're competent astronauts. show me a list of space movies with even a half realistic crew and I guarantee it'll be even more desolate and empty than space itself. Why do I have such shit taste.

Because space is a childish ambition. It's an empty vacuum and we don't even have a grasp of metaphysics on earth yet. What a joke.

>stupid humans exist.
How shocking.

the lighter was invented before matches
it's okay to move ahead without doing other shit beforehand

Because they are written by people who are insecure and not by astronauts or flight controllers.

Even if so, in the 1960's we sent our fittest and finest pilots up into orbit and beyond. You may not think space is worthy of exploration but only our finest are worthy of space.

Some of them seem really stupid though. I'm watching a film that's supposed to take place in [future-year] and everyone in the space program is just a bunch of overly emotional idiots. Is this what the film makers idea of future space exploration looks like? A bunch of dumbass kids who are probably less mature than an average US high-school kid piloting and managing an entire space vehicle?

Good pilots don’t have good stories. Drama is almost always the result of someone doing something stupid.

>grasp of metaphysics on earth

Sure we do. Metaphysics are a load of untestable bullshit.

Then space is untestable bullshit. Until we command dark matter there is no reason to be in space.

Because they want to portray space as a very hostile environment, which also includes the people in it

Ah, you’re incredibly stupid. I guess that explains why you think metaphysics is anything but bullshit.

Go ahead and define metaphysics for us, Chief.
Stick around, guys, this gonna be gud.

The definition is in the word itself, my impossibly stupid friend.

>Good pilots don’t have good stories.
more like they don't have retarded stories of dumb shit they or their colleagues did. more like genuine interesting stories of near death experiences or something that capeshitters (see: normies) wouldn't find interesting.

>Somewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside his space helmet. Then, I heard it. The click of the mic button from the back seat. That was the very moment that I knew Walter and I had become a crew. Very professionally, and with no emotion, Walter spoke: "Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?" There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request. "Aspen 20, I show you at one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots, across the ground."

>I think it was the forty-two knots that I liked the best, so accurate and proud was Center to deliver that information without hesitation, and you just knew he was smiling. But the precise point at which I knew that Walt and I were going to be really good friends for a long time was when he keyed the mic once again to say, in his most fighter-pilot-like voice: "Ah, Center, much thanks, we're showing closer to nineteen hundred on the money."

>For a moment Walter was a god. And we finally heard a little crack in the armor of the Houston Center voice, when L.A.came back with, "Roger that Aspen, Your equipment is probably more accurate than ours. You boys have a good one."

There are good movies set in space with mature crews, "The Martian" is a good example.
But you cant make every single space movie about astronauts getting fucked over by work accidents, "dumb" people are sometimes a necessity in order to move the plot along.
Personally I would rather have more movies about space discovery, with humans reaching new planets and finding truly alien ecosystems, too many times those days its all about boring cgi monsters or politics in space, as if we did not get enough of this shit on earth.

Stupidity is never necessary. It’s just easy to write.

>Why is it that every film that takes place in space has a childish crew that chimp out over trivial and immature bullshit.
You're complete a moron OP.

Good test pilots have good stories. Bad/mediocre test pilots are usually just dead.

So my point stands. Test pilot != pilot

>Test pilot != pilot
Test Pilots are a subset of all pilots.

>everyone overlooking the Space Kino that came out fucking last year because MUH FLAG PLANTING

Off yourselves.

Just like you’re a subset of primate. Doesn’t mean you’re a monkey.

First man was pretty lame.

I don’t think any test pilot would appreciate being compared to a glorified bus driver (read: commercial airline pilot)z

Are you unironically brain damaged?

Okay, this and The Right Stuff. That makes like 2 whole good movies out of the thousands of normie friendly bullshit

>man with autism attempts to call others brain damaged

Just accept your argument was defeated because you don’t really know what you’re talking about. “Good pilots don’t have good stories” is a bit of a meme in fight school.

It’s kinda confusing why you’re still so upset about this after being given counter examples and explanations as to why counter-examples are so rare.

>intentionally putting planes in almost unrecoverable positions to test flight characteristics to save other pilots' lives
i think you're retarded lad.

Yeah lad, how many movies about competent people in space do you want?

Because (((producers))) want ppl to think that's normal.

because my life is a desolate wasteland of nothingness and space exploration is my favorite part of human history and to see recreations of similar events keeps me from shooting myself in the head with two guns aimed at each other hoping the bullets meet in the center of my skull.

This is a bait thread, right? Nobody is stupid enough to not connect the dots that screenplays are written like this to be dramatic rather than realistic?

It is pretty realistic that most drama is the result of someone doing something stupid.

It's a shame Project Orion never got off the ground.

Because they're not 2001.

First Man, starring our beloved autist, “The Goose”.

The massive irony is that movie actually had to add in pointless drama that didn't happen irl and portrayed the Apollo 13 crew being more emotional than they really were.

If you listen to the actual Apollo 13 audio logs everyone is calm as fuck throughout the whole ordeal.

source?

They had to stay calm to conserve oxygen.

Because otherwise the average normalfag can't relate. Yoy do realize every main character has to be at least a non-virgin in any show? I've noticed there has never been a single "sympathetic" character in any story who did not have sex at least once.

Sunshine also is a cast of very reasonable people. The sun just makes a couple of them go nuts. But in general everyone is level-headed and nobody makes any obviously stupid decisions just to move the plot forward.

because a film with a well-balanced and emotionally stable crew would be boring since they'd solve the problem quickly and efficiently, hence the movie would be short.

Completely fucking wrong. Good writing is having reasonable people in a tricky situation that even the audience can't figure the way out of -- and then you surprise them by coming up with a creative solution.

or, if the people are NOT reasonable or they're dumb, that needs to be established well before the fact.

Shit writing is having characters who are set up as competent suddenly do stupid shit to move the plot. Plenty of (good) movies avoid this.

>over 9000 hours in DuckDuckGo

Most writers aren’t good.

There’s also the example of TNG season 1. All the characters are competent and rational. General audience reaction: “man I can’t relate to these people!”

>The sun just makes a couple of them go nuts
>dude it’s so bright it’s melting my sanity!

Fuck sunshine.

Uh, 40 year old virgin?

sure, but that's sort of part of the whole premise of the movie. you can say it's a dumb premise, but that's a separate argument from saying they executed that premise poorly.

>because a film with a well-balanced and emotionally stable crew

true, this is why first man didn't do so well. They should have made Niel freak out and try to throw buzz out the airlock then had brie larson fly up from earth and save them. It would have made a billion.

The premise of the movie is a desperate mission to clear a mass of non-fissilble from the sun before earth is a giant ball of ice.

I think it has to do with Hollywood pandering to a leb audience. These scietists are just liek me, dumb in every way! It's the equivalent of token nigger for pleb audience. That's why they sent some blue collar guys in space in Armageddon instead of training astronauts how to drill.

They were pretty emotional and irrational. But in the movie they’re basically oil rig employees.

lol the opposite is true.

That only happens when women are part of the crew. Name one movie set in space where the crew is all male and a chimp out happens.

....and that there was already a mission to reignite it, but that mission failed because (mystery), that mystery being the sun made them go nuts. but we're quibbling over technicality at this point, i dont think you're 100% wrong

Gravity, 2001, The martian, Interstellar, First man, Apollo 13, Moon. Is that enough for you to admit your wrong?

>dude the premise is the mystery that’s solved later

Ah, yer onna dem special folk

Considering there’s 20 “everyone is an irrational idiot because that’s the easiest way to make drama” movies for every one counter-example you can name, no?
