Re: Fantasy or sci-fi living?

[(Anonymous)]

That's kind of the point.

Fantasy: magic but no advanced technology
Sci-fi: advanced technology but no magic

but in essence, both are fantastical and impossible by today's standards, so yes, the difference is largely aesthetic.

I find it kind of boring though. The idea of sci fi is generally appealing to me because of the (at least quasi realistic) possibility of advances in knowledge and human ability on a fantastical scale.

If you just throw "lol magic is real you can do anything" into the equation, the point is lost.

The existence of magic is boring to you? Then sounds like your answer is "sci-fi", not "they are the same thing".

Re: Fantasy or sci-fi living?

[herpymcderp]

Narratively, they're pretty much the same excuse though. Look at this impossible thing the characters can do because X.

NAYRT

that's such a reductive and shallow way of looking at it

Re: Fantasy or sci-fi living?

[herpymcderp]

Yeah, but look me in the face and tell me honestly that that's not how it gets used *cough*STAR WARS*cough*.

Re: Fantasy or sci-fi living?

Is Star Wars a useful or typical case that we should take as representative of either genre

Re: Fantasy or sci-fi living?

[herpymcderp]

This is a good question. I think the answer is yes and no.

Yes, in that it is a example of something incredibly popular that a lot of people would likely think of as an example science fiction even if they don't particuarly like the genre.

No, in that I personally don't feel it is the epitome of the genre... or even particularly representative.
