I will dispute the notion that you can disambiguate between old and new Spocks by hotness.

[–] Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 years ago

yeah fair, based

What they have:

Literal magic

Immortal Vulcans that are a bit more chill

Personal cloaking device

Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

What we have

(see meme)

I see no downsides.

I mean are they chill though?

[–] A_Toasty_Strudel@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Historically speaking Tolkien's elves aren't exactly known for being chill. Ha

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

pretty sure Feanor was an Elf, and that dude had exactly the least amount of chill

"Sure, root beer drinking humie, you can wed my daughter, if you bring me a jewel. It's somewhere in Minas Corva, good luck, there are five lights, seeyoudeadbye..."

Sure they are. They're just a wee bit racist. "If your fitlhy dwarve wants to pass through our woods, he must be blindfolded and our lord and lady will get to decide if he leaves the woods alive or not."

Elves be crazy. Half the time they're in a giant strop about something or other usually beyond human comprehension because it's so petty.

  • “Any sufficiently advanced technology appears to be magic to the primitive” — Picard, paraphrased

  • Vulcans are functionally immortal (remember)

  • ST also has personal cloaks. And transporters (better than giant eagles that only take you halfway)

  • Worf would do like a word about the Bat’leth and other assorted slicey things

You slayed them for sure!

LotR: Hot elves.
Trek: Hot space elves.

[–] Shep19@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lotr does have that pipe weed though.

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

Replicator pipe weed just isn't dank enough 😔

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 13 points 2 years ago

The budget vulcans and the hot variant killed me

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 years ago
[–] adj16@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I am deeply offended and highly amused

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You also have jar jar binks

[–] Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

its amazing that such few words can cause so much pain

i hate this… well done

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If we have jarjar, that means we also have space wizards.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're going to need them against the Cylons

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

And the Borg Queen Amidala

[–] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No mention of salted pork or second breakfast. Obviously propoganda from a Big Trek shill

Many times it's been argued that Aragorn and his ghost army would sweep over the Federation, but Janeway was able to protect her ship from ghosts and the Federation figured out how to kill them and turn them into super fuel.

I don't think even a Balrog of Morgoth could stand a chance against federation stience.
