I like both, but when it comes to dystopian stuff I still need to have genuinely heroic characters doing heroic things and I need an actually happy or semi-happy ending where things are at least starting to get better.

Star Trek would be a favorite Utopian. How to Train Your Dragon is kind of utopian. At least, they create a utopia.

Black Panther is kind of utopian and also shows how a utopian society needs to interact with other cultures and share what it has and not just be in isolation.

The Silmarillion would actually be in my mind dystopian fiction. Things are pretty genuinely dystopian for most of it, but there is always hope and there are always good people willing to do the right thing even when it costs.

I love the Giver book. One of my favorite dystopias. Funnily enough this one is also utopian in that the society in question claims to be a utopia.

Edge of Tomorrow is a great dystopian movie. The aliens have almost conquered the Earth and seem unstoppable.

I love Star Trek but it doesn't feel all that utopian to me personally because I know deep down I wouldn't fit in any better there than I do in the real world.

I don't think you have to? Post-scarcity means even if you can't find a job that suits you or anyone who likes you, you can go off on your own and still have all your needs taken care of. At least in my mind, they still have cats, as Data has one. I can't do heights, so I'd never be able to be in a starship. But I'm sure I could find somewhere on Earth and just live my introvert life, even if I couldn't make it as a futuristic lawyer.

Maybe Beverly Crusher can cure my cat allergy but I probably would have an even harder time getting a boyfriend. All the women in Star Trek are great looking except for the occasional female alien we're supposed to think is freaky.
