Ah, yes. The Spike Spiegel wing.
Edit: Where are my manners? Let’s throw Vash the Stampede in there too. Not enough love for Trigun these days.
Let’s throw Vash the Stampede in there too.
The humanoid typhoon?! The six million double dollar man?!
I kid. You’re absolutely right.
“Love and peace!”
Most scifi westerns are also neo-noir(since many of the good western revivals they were cribbing off were noir-westerns in the first place) and being inspirational is the opposite of noir.
Light Music.
A futuristic self-aware city which stores data in its very structure is attacked by terrorists. In an act of self preservation, after a section is cut off with no redundant backup, the city downloads a couple library categories into the brain of an unwitting resident. His whole identity is replaced by the entire human category of Wild West movies, comics and books, along with some scientific data on radio communications. His memory erased, his entire personality is now Radio Cowboy.
Galaxy Rangers or Saber Rider come to mind, when I think about a setting like this. But both are nearly 40 years old now and were a bit obscure even back then.
Muse’s Knights of Sidonia is what springs to mind
Hmm…
Dune? Nope
Westwood: Double Nope
Cowboy Bebop: Not even close
Dark Tower: negative inspiration actually
I’m sensing a pattern here. Sand + sci-fi equals a lithium prescription.
are you kidding? westworld ABSOLUTELY fits!
I was inspired by cowboy bebop and dune! not to, you know, become the chosen one or a space bounty hunter, but, like, you know, in other ways.
Firefly!
This is the only correct answer
There it is.
Firefly?
Firefly.
You’re gorram right.
Best inspirational, sci-fi, western in the 'verse!
Yes and Cowboy bebop and Samurai 7 (not a western but a scifi period piece I guess.)
I tapped in to type this. As most here have.
Westworld kinda?
Inspirational??
Cautionary Science Fiction Western.
Not to regular people, but I bet it gave Silicon Valley and lots of other people with more money and power than sense ALL kinds of bad idea. Dystopian fiction often does 🙁
Westworld inspired me to find new shows to watch because it turned into absolute fucking garbage, so there’s that?
Maybe they’re a chatbot?
HFY?
“How Fucking Yellow”?
Cowboy bebop
Cowboys vs. Aliens was great, I don’t care if anyone disagrees.
Its okay to be wrong sometimes
I’ve been running a tabletop campaign for Scum & Villainy which is very much in the Space Opera/Western category. It’s been a really fun and evocative setting to game in.
There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Holds up!
Westworld
Inspirational? You doing okay, buddy?
I really admire Dorothy’s journey of self actualization and her drive to kill all humans.
I’ve only watched the first season. So I’m only as far as the hosts’ emancipation.
Westworld was inspirational?
…Why is there Dunkin Donuts inside a hospital?
Until alarmingly recently there was a Burger King in my nearest general hospital.
I never could make sense of that.
it is because, at any given time, there are hundreds, to thousands, of family, and friends, or patients in the hospital. Hospitals are large places, hard to navigate when you don’t know them, and even then take a long time to get in and out of. Also they have a similar amount of various employees. People got tired of the cafeteria food, and began voicing complaints about how big of a pain in the ass getting food that doesn’t suck in. Also, a lot, even most, of the people in the hospital are not there due to dietary stemming problems. When you are sick and/or injured, you want comfort foods. People want to bring you comfort food.
So, over time, they started making space for commercial food service to rent from them. So you will see fast food, and sometimes whole on chain restaurants. This also can be a source of income.
honestly i really kinda like big hospitals for this reason, they just end up feeling like an entire ultradense town, i have to imagine something like this is what it would feel like to be onboard a big star trek spaceship.
I used to work at a hospital that was so large, the city it was in had it designated as a sub-city entity, for considerations of emergency management.
Because the resident practicing their first ever medical procedure on you has been awake 38 hours.
Not if you listen to the Jet Black Berries.
