[–] BorgDrone@feddit.nl 6 points 6 months ago (1 child) Trek is space opera. Wars is a fairy tale (there’s a princess, evil emperor, magic, etc.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) Trek is utopia with whispers of benevolent authoritarianism. The Federation are the Borg at some level, looking to assimilate all they come across despite their morality that appeals to the viewers of the show. Wars is dystopia with magic. Most people appear poor, all the power and money is concentrated in a few places. Gangs and warlords everywhere. Always someone trying to take more, whether it be Hutt or political fascists. permalink fedilink source parent
