It’s a slightly click-baity title, but as we’re still generating more content for our magazines, this one included, why not?
Unpopular opinions from last time include:
-
My Sci-fi unpopular opinion is that 2001: A Space Odyssey is nothing but pretentious, LSD fueled nonsense.
-
I could not get into the expanse at all.
-
My unpopular opinion is that I don’t like space operas.
What’s yours?
Smaller stakes are better.
They’re more personal, interesting, and relatable.
All these movies that are about the ends of worlds or civilizations… it’s too much.
The Terminator? Yeah ostensibly it’s about the end of the world due to AI run amok but it’s really about one woman fleeing from a seemingly unstoppable force.
The last Star Wars movie? Oh no, the planet destroying weapon now kills stars and is smaller. yawn
Yup, agreed - that’s what I’m doing in my novels …
Murderbot diaries is a good example of pulling off small stakes.
