A Humorous Comparison of Star Wars and Star Trek Fandoms

A Humorous Comparison of Star Wars and Star Trek Fandoms - Memes on Aviaclip

This comic by Tommy Siegel satirizes the common tropes and complaints found within the Star Wars and Star Trek fan communities. By contrasting the aesthetic of 'rusted farm equipment in space' for Star Wars with the 'cruise ship in space' vibe of Star Trek, the illustration highlights the gatekeeping often associated with franchise entry points. Ultimately, the comic pokes fun at the recurring, polarized sentiment among some fans that director J.J. Abrams is responsible for 'ruining' both iconic science fiction series, regardless of their distinct tones or thematic differences.

You know I am just gonna say it. If they do a remake and remove the lens flare, the Chris Pine movies were fucking awesome. They were a lot more exciting than the old Kirk shit and the cast was incredible.

I think saying JJ ruins everything is a bit reductive. Both got ruined in similar but different ways. Star Trek went full political, and Star Wars went full corprate. Neither of the people running the shows currently understood why people love them. With the exception of Andor wh

Rian Johnson killed off Luke. He can rot in hell for giving him the lamest death in history.

JJ Abrams didn't ruin star trek. That clown that made everyone woke did.
