Yes, Jizz.
kinda makes sense to me
one is an attempt at a hopeful, logical view of humanities future.. the other has laser swords and magic.
The Expanse: space will always try to kill you, humanity still sucks, everything still hurts, everything is still dirty.
Far superior option. Mostly because it has real space physics with minimal hand waving.
One is a broad base for story telling, the other is one long story about how a single family and their granddad's hetro-lifemate can fuck over an entire galaxy,
And politics, and wealth disparity, so basically the opposite of a utopia.

One preaches hope for a better future.
One preaches a never ending cycle of ambition, corruption, and cruelty.
Who would have ever thought time would prove Star Wars more thematically realistic 😂
Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed "stormtroopers" from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.
With that logic, Star Trek is the same.
It is based upon submarine life. Even going as far as using the boatswain whistle and radar sounds at the controls.
You're talking about the organization of the ships crew, they're taking about overarching styles and themes.
Yeah but we need more submarine movies. If I have to pretend, I'll pretend.
I'd love to see Disney try out a sort of anthology of short seasons that all share thematic elements of WW2 that made the OT such a spectacle, but do like 4-8 episodes about a given person/squad/ship/squadron/station/agent/whatever...tell one good solid story about that subject then move on.
I'd love for one of those seasons to follow a light capital ship with 1-2 squadrons of fighters, and model it with elements of the carrier war in the Pacific mixed with a submarine movie theme.
Have them playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with a much larger ISD or Victory, both stuck in a nebula. They both get their hits in that cause grave damage, but both crews hang in there and stick to the mission.
How it ends is anyone's guess, but I could absolutely see plenty of room in that framework for intense scenes of sensors crews glued to their stations, hoping to go unnoticed, or desperately searching for any sign of their foe...

One of my favorite fun facts: "Balance of Terror" was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.
The screenplay for that episode actually was for a submarine movie, and it got readapted.
I have never watched even a single episode of Star Trek, but I like you guys for your memes.

StarTrek all the way, actual REAL peaceful space communists or religious Knights with magic powers? That's not a hard choice
Everyone thinks I'm super into star wars cause I enjoy building Lego space ships and star wars is the option in that regard. Mind you I've just noticed a Chinese brick company have dropped a giant Enterprise and there's a Rocinante on the way too!

Especially this one:
Either you're into Star Trek and understand the self-burn vibes here or it's just a random not-overly-nerdy shirt.
I just applied for my UK passport and the photo I gave to them was me in a red T-shirt with the TOS delta on it. I'm guessing the delta will be cropped out, but here's hoping.

Well... Star Wars does have a character named Sleazebaggano... So...
Total stranger in a Stargate T shirt. They probably have way more firepower, and enough C4 to solve all my problems.

This is actually an interesting rabbit hole. I wonder if it's a meme or if Duke Jizzerstein is actually real. They really went hard into this whole jizz thing. There is literally a track on the album "Let's Jizz With the Duke!" called "Gonna Jizz Tonite"
Edit: it has to be fake. There is literally a track called "Spermulation". Also the website is a giveway that it's likely ai generated https://mrpii.online/
When people conjure mental male representation of Star Wars, they think of fat neckbeard Lucas and the lizard. When they think of Star Trek, they imagine sly silver fox Picard and Datas most probable mechanical prowess.
This tracks.
Sometimes, late at night, the Jizz band starts playing more schmaltzy. Schmaltzy Jizz.
Ew.
I refuse to apologize.
Stranger in a Farscape shirt: knows how to party... possible cast or crew member.
did they even bother making farscape shirts when any bdsm attire would work?

If your interstellar society has slavery, I'm not interested. Didn't the Jedi free Luke and just leave his mom in captivity?
Way too many Star Wars fans like the Empire for my taste. (And the rebels aren't much better, if they're better at all.)
That was Anakin Not his son Luke. And Qui-gon tried to free Shmi as well but Watto was too resilient.

Star Wars Jizzed right into my ear....
This isn't as funny since Disney renamed it to Jatz

I have both tshirts, my trustworthiness also happens to fluctuate wildly based on my apparel.
I'm something of a jizz-wailer myself...
-Riker, probably
Jizz was first mentioned in canon in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi junior novelization, authored by Ryder Windham and released in 2017.
Oh, then they absolutely knew.
The Return of the Jedi novelization introduced the term "jizz-wailer" to describe a musician, but the term "jizz" as the name of the musical style was not introduced until the publication of Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, twelve years later.
The original RotJ novelization was released in 1983. Don't discount Legends!
Yeah, that unfortunate term has been around forever. I think I first ran across it in a West End Games sourcebook from 1990-ish.
