I'm still stuck on "science-based"

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I mean I “get it” I think? It’s like trying to make a science-based time travel movie. You operate with strict rules and try to keep grounded in our current reality where possible. Some theoretical concepts at least feel more “realistic” than others.

Game of Thrones tried to be somewhat grounded compared to say, Warcraft which is very high fantasy with a lot less basis in reality.

We call that "science fiction", not 100% science-based

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Common mistake, is not 100% science based, is science based, 100% dragon.

Damn, you're right. It makes total sense now.

BTW I love your username. If only there were some way to make money off it!

You really do not see the distinction I’m drawing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I get what you're saying, I'm just saying that the name for the thing you're describing, where some fantastical premise is extended logically using more realistic science, is "science fiction".

Dude no shit come on. I don’t think dragons are based in reality. They don’t exist. What are you trying to say? That I don’t understand what science fiction is?

You can go “dragons are magical indestructible things that breathe fire because hand waves” or you can try to go “if dragons are real (which they aren’t because apparently I need to state this) this is an approximation of how they’d biologically work.”

These are different things. I can’t believe I’m having to write this out.
