What sci-fi universe would you like to live in the most?

[Beloren]

You can pick from any sci-fi series/program, movie etc. Just bear in mind it's the world/universe you are looking at, not the quality of the show or it's writing. Some shows are awful, but the setting/world or future/past they are based on is actually something that's really exciting.

no, they're certainly not all the same, if you watch any series you would know what I mean.

So popular options include

The Expanse
Altered Carbon
Farscape
Bablyon 5
Andromeda
Star Wars
The 5th Element
Lost in Space
Star Trek
Dune
Riddick
Guardians of the Galaxy
Warhammer 40k
Dark Matter
Killjoys
Orville
Battlestar Galactica
Thor


Okay, I could go on, there are so many, take your pick. Don't forget ot say why, what you like about it.

Babylon 5, I'd like to see what lies beyond the Rim.

[Moloch04]

Somewhere around 50%-80% of the way through the Dark Age of Technology, Warhammer 40k. Sure, it goes to shit after that, but it would be a hell of a ride.

I will add Orion's Arm, which would be amazing, but only with very specific criteria to my life there.

Hmm I don't know about all of the universes you've mentioned. I like the ones where it would be possible to get a different body like Altered Carbon. Not sure if Star Trek also has this technology, but it's far into the future so it's probably there too. And Star Trek universe is probably easier to live in for the average person compared with Altered Carbon? Must say I don't know that much about Star Trek.

I think that's what I would look for the most in a sci fi universe to live in. Something with much better technology where it's possible to change your body but at the same time possible to live a happy and calm live. So Riddick which is full of death is probably not a universe I would like to live in. But obviously it makes for a better movie if there are more conflicts.

Star Trek, not close.
Most of the others are SCA~RY.

[Rumred]

Star Trek TNG era to post post Dominion War era. Tech is good and fairly easy life
Star Wars republic or post empire era. Might be a littler harder to live in but overall nice and all the hot aliens
Mass Effect pre or post reaper invasion. Might be the hardest to live in but I think would overall not be too bad if you avoid the reapers....

[Vakna]

Star Trek easy, you don't have to think about money. Ever.

[Egomaniac]

Guardians of the Galaxy is not a "sci-fi universe". It's still just the Marvel Universe

And while the MCU does have some advance tech if you happen to be a superhero...it seems that civilians, by and large, don't really have anything that we don't have in our mundane universe.

[Darththeo]

Guardians of the Galaxy is not a "sci-fi universe"

Yes, it is. Why would you say it isn't?

[LemonDemonGirl]

Star Wars sounds pretty cool, though I'd make a shitty Sith Lord.

Maybe, Star Trek or Babylon 5?

[Shadowferal]

Yes, it is. Why would you say it isn't?

Because Earth isn't part of any advanced tech that comes with such a universe.

But we do have a sorcerer supreme, so it's all good!

[Super Kami Dende]

Advanced Tech isn't the only requirement of something being Science Fiction.

I'd choose Star Wars. The Force is neat.

[Beloren]

You know, I was actually thinking that myself, most of those world's are so dark.

[qwerty123456]

Are you stuck on Earth in the Farscape universe?

[Dhrizzle]

The Culture - ultimate post-scarcity anarcho-communist utopia. Optional biological immortality or at least conscious control of aging, technological immortality through mind backups, mind transference to different bodies, sleeping can put you into a fully immersive months-long roleplay experience, drug glands, auto-adjusting body to various conditions like low/high-G, complete mastery over physics and matter all ruled over by snarky mega-AI with powers that make gods look tame.

[Skizzit]

Star Trek. Easily. Even just the every day person on earth has a pretty good life. World peace, no poverty, all basic needs taken care of and everyone works to better themselves and/or society as a whole. It is easily the most utopian of the big sci-fi universes.

Guardians of the Galaxy is not a "sci-fi universe". It's still just the Marvel Universe

And while the MCU does have some advance tech if you happen to be a superhero...it seems that civilians, by and large, don't really have anything that we don't have in our mundane universe.

Hate to break it to you, but superhero stuff is pretty sci-fi.

[deenman]

i rly like the point where the expanse is at,with its new opened portals to all those worlds,its more intersting than older more advanced shows like star trek or star wars because all those new worlds are completly unknown to humanity(granted star wars also had a bunch of unknown zones,but not to the degree of acces the expanse has)

one of my biggest fantasies is to live forever in a space travel capable world and explore as much of the uncharted universe as posible

i often think how amazing it must have felt for explorers in the past when all they knew was their imediate suroundings and the entire world was an unknown

[jonnysensible]

Dune
Warhammer 40k

who would pick these, they obviously dont like being alive.

Nowhere - get to chill out in a utopia
hitch hikers the galaxy - remember to bring a towel
red rising universe - id be a fucking pixie

[Egomaniac]

Sure...if you're a superhero.

99.99% of the people on Earth in the MCU live exactly the same kind of lives we do.

Compare that to Star Trek.

And still, Guardians of the Galaxy is not it's own universe. It's a small corner of the MCU.

True, but it is a different universe, it has perks like super powers and intergalactic aliens and space faring races, Thor, Captain Marvel , the Cree it has a sci fi component even if it is set in present time earth.

MCU does have some heroes in a sci fi setting, some in hi tech, some in the future etc. I had it listed because of Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor
