Take a breath. This isn't how we communicate here. If you want to play that way, be prepared for sanctions. Consider this a fair warning.

William Kern24 said:They’re filming really great dramas, crime shows, and thrillers now too. Plus, unlike those 90s shows you clearly haven't moved on from, there are actually excellent crime/thriller/drama series available today. You have more options than you ever did in the 90s. It seems to me you just dislike how popular a certain genre has become, not the genre itself.
Benjamin Ruiz60 said:What? You never discuss the movies you watch with friends? Or do you just not have any? I don't see the issue.
Benjamin Ruiz60 said:Exactly. You're exaggerating on every level. There hasn't been an invasion of sci-fi movies, and no cult has formed around The Martian. I don't get how some people see a metaphor or a bit of personification and immediately start spiraling. Lost in reality.That’s why I say you should stay away from art. You’ll just end up hitting someone else's imagination like it’s a brick wall.
Watching movies, debating them, even having favorites—none of that constitutes worship. The pinnacle of one's ideals. 🤦 It’s actually much simpler than that. Socialization happens through communication and the exchange of ideas.

Escaping into fantasy is a universal human trait. Everyone, just like you, looks for ways to feel superior through those fantasies.
Some do it via forum posts, others through superheroes, and others through Zeus.
Benjamin Ruiz60 said:I’m not saying you prefer fantasy over reality. I'm saying you waste your time on the trivial. You're trading science fiction for mere fiction.
Patrick Martin said:All that holds weight, but you clearly watched the wrong movie.😉
If you had pivoted to Interstellar, I might follow you. But trying to salvage this modern Robinson Crusoe-style flick? That’s a much harder miss.☕
Benjamin Ruiz60 said:What worries me more is people who view SF the way you do. Don't bother with movies; reality is full of fantasies that have nothing to do with actual life yet still thrill crowds of fanatics. Just look at the extreme militants popping up everywhere.
briskhound2 said:Besides, there was no specific definition given regarding what kind of science fiction films are invading the market. SF is a constant genre, but right now superheroes are just the trend. It isn't concerning. In the 90s, Scream came out, followed by a massive wave of copies, and nobody worried that kids would start swinging kitchen knives at each other. Superheroes make money right now, which is why they dominate, but there are plenty of other titles within the genre (Star Trek, Interstellar, The Martian...) so it’s no different than the 90s.
Michael Harris20 said:Why aren't we seeing more films like the ones from '94 or '95? Real thrillers, dramas, crime procedurals... instead, every year it's just a handful of Avatars, Avengers, Spider-Mans, Batmans, Maze Runners, or Planet of the Apes, and they're all treated like massive hits.
It’s as if nobody knows how to make a decent movie anymore, or maybe everything is just so burnt out that we're forced to watch endless stories about what the "future" might look like.
