Space Operas were never, ever good.

That's not entirely wrong, but not completely true either.
It's still the most photogenic sci-fi.
Which in the end is why sci-fi will always be better written than on film.

What do you mean by 'Space Opera'? What is your definition?

This is true
Name one hard sci fi film or show that's actually good if they even made one yet

Heavy Metal.

Also the Dune mini series was great. Certainly not as good as the book but as faithful as they could get on that budget.

They were, you are just not part of that generation. They told stories of adventure and action in space. A place we knew almost nothing about that the time. So I think the creativity and daring to make these stories is one of the few jewels in the crown of Hollywood

The Expanse. Cap it if you must. That show is gonna be great.

Fuck you. If Dune isn't hard sci fi your definition is clearly fringe.
