Science fiction itself is a genre and is also an ideal foundation for supporting any other type of you can think of (from horror)alien), drama (arrive),comedy(Space ball), even romantic (upside down), but nothing is more perfect than the sci-fi westerner. On the surface, the two genres don’t seem to have much in common. After all, one includes a spacecraft and the other uses a horse, but in reality, the two are so complementary that it is hard to imagine themselves standing. There are a handful of breakthrough hits, but this list of cult classics with its own stubborn fan base is a homage to the mix-and-match effect: firefly,,,,, Trigon,,,,, Killjoys,,,,, prospect,Then border This movie is a disaster, and the video game series is another great example of how this is perfectly combined.
Life on the edge of civilization
The best science fiction westerners prove that it’s the same whether you’re colonizing a new planet or Wyoming. A hero is a gunman, a villain is a ruthless businessman, or a cruel killer, disrespects the law, and being far from civilization means a desire to make a living by a cruel environment. Once you see how both genres keep overlapping, you start to notice it anywhere Star Wars: New Hope arrive Ridick.
Sci-fi Western Westerns have achieved their greatest success in the movie, but on the small screen, the influence of classic shows Gunsmoke and Truck train Prove that some formulas will always work, no matter how decade it is. The first example that everyone thinks is fireflywhich mixes Six Shooters with Space Travel and even includes an episode entirely, trying to save the brothel from the local villain. Even the theme song sounds like a country ballad about freedom.
More than a century of science fiction westerners
firefly Not the first type of mashup; the 80s gave us Saturday morning cartoons Bravestarr Located on the planet of New Texas and Sean Connery sci-fi western Out of townamong Jupiter’s moons, is the star Marshall. In the 1990s, there was anime Trigun, an illegal star, and Denim Bebopall of which are still the best in the medium. Even if the series produced by Nathan Fillion is released in tranquil form, there are more Western science fiction series Contempt There is also the neglected bounty hunter series Killjoys.
Outside the screen, one of the first Sci-Novels ever made in 1868 was the West of Science Fiction, Steam man in the prairieabout a little boy, he creates a steam-powered giant that takes him to the adventure of the border. During the 1950s, during the Space Race, some authors experimented with genres that fused together, including Lone Planet John J. McGuire 1958, and then recently Cowboys and aliens Graphic novels, which eventually inspired the film to fail.
Whether it’s Jupiter’s moon or along Oregon’s trails, life will always attract on the border, and it’s proven by the sci-fi Westerner’s continued success over the past few decades. Science fiction aims to explore today’s problems through a future perspective, but that doesn’t mean it should ignore past lessons learned, and in fact, it can reach new heights when it contains classic Western metaphors and symbols.
