I will dispute the notion that you can disambiguate between old and new Spocks by hotness.

[-] Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz 19 points 8 months ago

yeah fair, based

[-] SARGEx117@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago

What they have:

Literal magic

Immortal Vulcans that are a bit more chill

Personal cloaking device

Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

What we have

(see meme)

I see no downsides.

[-] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I mean are they chill though?

[-] A_Toasty_Strudel@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Historically speaking Tolkien's elves aren't exactly known for being chill. Ha

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

pretty sure Feanor was an Elf, and that dude had exactly the least amount of chill

"Sure, root beer drinking humie, you can wed my daughter, if you bring me a jewel. It's somewhere in Minas Corva, good luck, there are five lights, seeyoudeadbye..."

Sure they are. They're just a wee bit racist. "If your fitlhy dwarve wants to pass through our woods, he must be blindfolded and our lord and lady will get to decide if he leaves the woods alive or not."

Elves be crazy. Half the time they're in a giant strop about something or other usually beyond human comprehension because it's so petty.

Personal cloaking device

Star Trek has that, too.

Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

And that:

[-] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 1 points 8 months ago

Also the TR-116

  • “Any sufficiently advanced technology appears to be magic to the primitive” — Picard, paraphrased

  • Vulcans are functionally immortal (remember)

  • ST also has personal cloaks. And transporters (better than giant eagles that only take you halfway)

  • Worf would do like a word about the Bat’leth and other assorted slicey things

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 21 points 8 months ago

You slayed them for sure!
he's dead jim

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 18 points 8 months ago

LotR: Hot elves.
Trek: Hot space elves.

[-] Shep19@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Lotr does have that pipe weed though.

[-] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 8 months ago

Replicator pipe weed just isn't dank enough 😔

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 13 points 8 months ago

The budget vulcans and the hot variant killed me

[-] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 11 points 8 months ago

You also have jar jar binks

[-] Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz 8 points 8 months ago

its amazing that such few words can cause so much pain

i hate this… well done

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 months ago

If we have jarjar, that means we also have space wizards.

[-] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 5 points 8 months ago

You're going to need them against the Cylons

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago

And the Borg Queen Amidala

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 months ago
[-] adj16@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I am deeply offended and highly amused

[-] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No mention of salted pork or second breakfast. Obviously propoganda from a Big Trek shill

[-] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Many times it's been argued that Aragorn and his ghost army would sweep over the Federation, but Janeway was able to protect her ship from ghosts and the Federation figured out how to kill them and turn them into super fuel.

I don't think even a Balrog of Morgoth could stand a chance against federation stience.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Never mind all that; Star Trek has LOTR itself!
