    Isn’t most American SciFi the direct counterpart to British SciFi?

    Space army fights bad aliens. Space radioactive now, but bad aliens dead 👍 Space Captain hero.

    Also, my friend needs some examples of French SciFi.

      In addition to Moebius, you can also check out the Valérian et Laureline comics. They fit the script (but they are so much more !)

        Ah, Luc Besson, solid if not particularly deep entertainment. Just what the doctor ordered.

        We’ll see about those breasts.

      Barbarella. It’s an incredibly weird movie with Brigitte Bardot Jane Fonda as the bombshell. Pretty sure the provided definition of french sci-fi is based on this movie.

      Edit: misremembered the actress

        One of my favorite memories is watching someone on acid watching Barbarella for 10 minutes.

        It’s a fun, goofy movie. But the blue knife-teeth babies will ruin your week.

      American sci-fi goes all over the place. Look at Phillip K. Dick for instance.

      That dude was on an island by himself with the insane shit he wrote

      I’m fairly sure that’s half referring to Fantastic Planet, but might also Gandahar. Both rated PG for copious unfun, more like decorative boobs.
