At this yr ’s San Diego Comic - Con , John Hodgman host Syfy ’s Great Debate where Orlando Jones , Aisha Tyler , Adam Savage , John Barrowman , and io9 co - laminitis Charlie Jane Anders , moot a variety of classic nerd conundrums . And , somehow , Savage ’s answer to the eternal Star Wars or Star Trek question bring down the whole elbow room .
There were many beam and quotable moments from the panel , from Tyler saying that Ben Affleck ’s Batman would vote down King Kong by star deep into his eyes to Anders ’ answer to Marvel comic strip versus DC ’s comics with “ Batman only wishes he was as nerveless as Squirrel Girl . ”
The problem begin when the question “ Which enfranchisement you would get rid of from existence : Star Wars or Star Trek ? ” was asked . Barrowman ’s suggestion that they eliminate only certain flick from both was rejected .
Savage deal the placement that Star Trek should be obviate , to the boos of the entire gang . His explanation :
Star Trek lures you into a fictitious sense of incontrovertibility that the humankind can be a utopia and late events have testify it can not . Star Wars ’ dystopic vision is far more naturalistic and prepares our child for their future .
I ’m not sure anyone has ever argued Star Wars is more naturalistic than Star Trek before , but man , what a profoundly depressing style to do it . I ’ll for certain never look at the salary increase of the Empire quite the same room again .
