Fantasy > Sci Fi

Fantasy is better.
There are so many good fantasy books too
>>67669767
First Law and Wheel of Time series when ?
>>67669782
I just started Way of Kings.
I wonder if Mistborn movie will ever be released, I did hear it was in production or something

Fantasy is for low IQ.
Sci-Fi is for the high IQ master race.
>>67669575
>Dungeons and Dragons faggot elf shit
>Better than space and future stuff
Man children pls
>>67669575
Why not both?
>>67669954

scifi is shit

Fantasy is firmly on trash tier form of artistic representation. Take for example /x/, the board with average lowest IQ, the peoe in there believe in pure fantasistical mythologies and will refuse any outside empirical and notorious fact verifications so that they can believe in the "spooky shit" that happens below their bed
Sci Fi often provokes thought and epiphania thanks to probable futuristic scenarios.
>>67670114
>probable
its theoretical or hypothetical. its not probable
>the philosophies and excursions into human ingenuity and condition compared to the universe at large, and technological potentialities against faggy elf and magical fairy babby bullshit
HAHAHAHAHA
Spaceships > Horses
Sci-fi is better.
>>67670114
We can see from this post Sci-Fi appeals to fedoras moreso than Fantasy. Ergo, both are god tier but Fantasy is better.
>>67669575
that fucking deviantart tier picture
>genre trash
not even once
>>67670362
Fun fact: people who even acknowledge genre trash as a thing are 34.442% more ignorant the normal people
Are there any movies that combine Fantasy and Sci Fi? Possibly even good ones?
>young adults: the thread
Sci-fi
>social commentary
>insights into the human condition
>science and technology
Fantasy
>dragons
>elves
>magic
>>67669575
Old fantasy is indeed better and more important than sci-fi.
Technically many legends, myths and epics are fantasy.

Let's just compare 2 scenes from arguably the most popular sci-fi and fantasy tv franchises and let the people decide for themselves

WARCRAFT MOTHERFUCKER

LotR is literally the only good thing to EVER come from fantasy
>>67671136
Does this count?
>>67671244
Holy fuck no
>>67671136
>>67671094
but the sci-fi in it is shit.
>>67671299
preas undastaan
>>67671136
No Morrowind, Gothic or Conan the Barbarian?
>>67671272
literally 5 too many flicks.
>>67671297
it's a fantasy series. Or do you not consider it because it's animated?
>>67670911
>star wars
>sci-fi
>>67669995
You are shit.
Warcraft will save swordshit
>>67669575
Old time fantasy & futuristic fantasy are not fundamentally different
>>67669575
This thread is now under the watch of the Imperium. Stand by for incoming cleansing.
>>67669575
I prefer Sci-Fi because I'm sick of how much fantasy jerks off Tolkien.
Fantasy has become very same'y and predictable, in a lot of respects.
While as far as I can tell Sci-Fi hasn't really had a 'Lord of the Rings' that everyone looks towards for inspiration, its more open and seems to have more different and complex ideas and concepts.
I think they work better together in tandem, and that most good sci-fi has certain fantasy elements to it anyway, probably because its a less restricting genre.

Sorry, but only people over 18 are allowed to post on 4chan
try again in 5 years
>>67672713
Literally has never seen more than 3 sci-fi franchises: the post
>>67672713
And for each sci-fi product that has those common tropes, there is another that doesn't.
Am I saying every single thing of sci-fi is a completely new idea that is utterly different from anything that has come before?
Of course it isnt, it has common tropes that are getting worn out and tiresome.
I'm just saying that it has substantially less of these common tropes than Fantasy and as such I find it less predictable and more interesting.
>>67672263
warhammer has got to be one of the worst sci-fi universes of all time
>>67670114
But /x/ posters are legit insane (look at any lizardman thread), they're not a representative of anything.
>>67669973
Excellent
>>67669575
Fiction > arbitrary genre limitations.
>>67672772
That explains why we have shitload of capeshit threads on /tv/.
>>67672845
It's better than Star Wars though
>>67669575
Both have different good things .
I like both t bh.
Fantasy could be better if they didn't stick to the Tolkien mold so damn closely. Like come up with some fanatasy races besides elves, dwarves and orcs, holy shit.
>>67670911
How could we have gone for so long without figuring out who this bitch is?
>>67672845
I like the deliberately archaic values it has as a universe, can't really think of anything else that does that.
>>67673783
How about angels and demons? Is dark fantasy a subset of this or a different genre altogether with horror?
>>67669575
Literally every fantasy series is the same thing.
>Elves are high class mystic archers
>Dwarfs are miners and money hoarders
>Humans are obsessed with war
>Orcs are immoral monsters
>Wizards n dragons
>Hero finds allies of all races except orc to take down orcs
>Takes 2 hours of screen time to get to anything that advances the plot
Yeah way better than Sci-Fi
>>67669575
Real scifi is cool.
Fantasy where "technology" replaces magic in the future is annoying (Star Wars or Treasure Planet are examples)
Classical fantasy is fun.

They're beasts, they should all be destroyed.
>>67674112
Yes, and?
>>67674245
No, it doesn't. Plus vidya has it's own version of every fantasy being the same, it's all just Warhammer ripoffs.
>>67671655
>swordshit
is it swordshit or cloakshit?
There needs to be a decision in order to unify the meme
good thing star wars isnt scifi
its a samurai western comedy fantasy space opera
>>67675208
what about elfshit?
>>67674307
>>67674740
>'they're all beasts'
>not 'they're inhuman!'
biggest mistake of the movie
not watching it for that very reason
>>67670494
this,fantasy is always the same formula and the only thing that seperates certain storys is its edgyness or how interesting the characters are.Scifi has unlimited possibilites and will always be relevant.
