@Lucienne d'Anwyl I'm doubting the science fiction part, not the fantasy part Horror fantasy, if not horror
science fiction fantasy is the genre
yeah, lovecraft is also different
sci-horror
@Xaverius he had plenty of alien specieis
space ships
unknowable technology
^^ autism
that sort of thing
its science fiction fantasy
That doesn't mean it's scifi however
Indian myths have flying cities, is it scifi? <:smugon:512048583806025739>
that's illustrating a complete imability to recognize nuance, luci
space faring civilizations
artificial intelligence
futuristic inventions
how is that not science fiction?
“If you squint hard enough, and look at a few very specific things... lovecraft is actually romantic comedy.”
star wars = sci-fantast ; star trek = science fiction
VERY different
@Scale_e i mean there was some romance
like that dude that got hitched with a ghoul
Well there you go
lol
Sounds fun to me
just cause both contain the prefix 'sci' doesn't mean they are the same
Romantic comedy
means they are only SIMILAR
but anyways
there are plenty of classic "sci fi" authors who did science fiction fantasy
i always felt like sci-horror was .. cheating
you never saw alien??
“*American history X* is a romantic comedy about the sexual escapades of a white supremeo during his stay in prison.”
yeah, i saw alien. wasn't crazy about it
it was just another form of horror and we already had plenty of that
just needed to turn on the news
*Alien* is horror
*Aliens* is sci fi
the purpose of horror is to frieghten and thrill... but we already beat that horse to death
@Scale_e you realize that the two arent mutually exclusive yes?
sci-fi was a way of 'sneaking messages' into people's heads soo they would see them from a different angle
