POLL: fantasy OR sci-fi

[gorcorps]

If you had to choose one or the other for your movies, books, TV and video games... what would you pick?


Sci-fi: lasers, robots, space ships, future, etc (Star Wars, Star Trek, Mass Effect, etc)

Fantasy: swords, wizards, horses, etc (LOTR, Game of Thrones, Elder Scrolls, etc)

 

[Geosurface]

I like both a lot but, maybe a slight favorability toward sci-fi...

 

[Brainonska511]

I like fantasy in books, but prefer sci-fi in visual media.

 

[Pocatello]

It's all fantasy to me.

 

[techs]

In the end there can be only one. Scifi.

 

[darkxshade]

Sci Fi because you can still get fantasyish stories out of it. Star wars had swords, wizards, mounts and all that stuff

Vulcans are basically space elves.

Romulans are dark elves. 😛

I got lost somewhere around the fourth video. 😕

 

[SlitheryDee]

sci-fi. I do like fantasy that incorporates sci-fi elements though.

 

[cronos]

I just realized that if I'm playing it, I'd prefer it to be fantasy, but if I'm watching it, I like sci-fi better.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Star Wars is really science fantasy. At least until Lucas invented the "midichlorian" BS to explain his space wizard samurai.

Definitely this

 

[dank69]

Which one gives me super heroes? :hmm:

 

[Zeze]

How about fantasy scifi?

I mean I would consider Star Wars to be a fantasy scifi. It's clearly more cartoony than say, Prometheus or Children of Men. Now those are scifi.

Final Fantasy Forever

 

[soulcougher73]

I prefer not to live under a movie dictactorship and chose to have both 🙂

 

[BurnItDwn]

Ehh, I prefer "hard" scifi for reading or watching.

For Games, I tend to like the fantasy types a bit more.

 

[KeithTalent]

Sci-fi. It was fantasy when I was a kid, but as an adult I far prefer science fiction.

[ImpulsE69]

It's a genre of a genre. Both are fantasy (at this point). I tend to prefer Sci-fi-ish movies, but fantasy for everything else.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Strongly prefer sci-fi. For a long time I didn't like any fantasy stuff, but Game of Thrones got me more into it and now I do enjoy it. I still prefer sci-fi though.

 

[bigrash]

Scifi here.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I generally prefer sci-fi, although LOTR and Game of Thrones are pretty high up in the list of favorite things ever. But after that, fantasy drops off sharply, while sci-fi has a much deeper canon (from my point of view anyway).
