Yesterday blurted out something at therapy that is giving me so much to think about “why are we so cultish about Star Trek vs Star Wars? Both are good!”
Star Wars getting better is probably a recent thing (I could be wrong), but mostly because of all the tv shows, so you can get all the nuances and character developments. Star Trek is older in that regard, but they have vastly different setups. In one, utopia has already been established. And on the other, people are still fighting for their rights. At times, Star Wars seems more real and relatable. Star Trek is a fantasy.
Maybe the “long ago in a far away galaxy…” bit is not helpful. Also some of the fan base of Star Wars is very much toxic. So who wants to join them anyway.
But I’ve been thinking about my own experience with it, and I feel like I was very wrong before. /fin
