Included Fandoms List

[bananners]

The definition of science fiction is a tricky one-- no one definition has really been universally accepted, and the line between scifi and other genres like fantasy, horror, spy-fi, etc. continues to be debated. The following statements, however, are helpful in defining the genre.

"Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the

STAR WARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS *RUNS AROUND SQUEEING* I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A SW INCLUSIVE COMM!

On an additional fandom note:
The Riddick Trilogy
The Fifth Element
The Resident Evil Set

[bananners]

I'm really excited about SW too! Thanks for the suggestions for new additions. Here's the verdicts:

I added The Chronicles of Riddick Trilogy.

The Resident Evil films I'm going to say no to. I haven't seen the movies, but I read through the Wiki article and IMO zombies fall under horror/fantasy because they don't have a strictly "science" aspect to them, if that makes sense. If there's further information I should be aware of and/or you want to make an argument for it, please feel free to do so and I'll reconsider.

The Fifth Element I'm on the fence about. Obviously a lot of it is classic scifi-- futuristic, distant planets, etc. etc.-- but the stones representing the four elements strike me as very mystical/fantasy as opposed to science fiction, and they're a major part of the plot of the movie. Convince me? IDK.

But the zombies cloned her and became all CLONES of the main character! Not normal zombies, LOL.

[bananners]

Oooh interesting, okay. I added them. Thanks for pointing that out. :)

[kerrykhat]

Is the Clone Wars TV series included under the Star Wars banner?

[bananners]

Yep! I'll edit the post to make a note of that. :)

[kerrykhat]

Yay! :D This makes me very, very happy.

I'd also like if you could consider "The Fifth Element". There's nothing on the movie that doesn't scream scifi, imo. :)

I understand you hesitation about the stones, but it depends on the point of view. The stones were left on Earth by a highly advanced and powerful race, so we don't know what kind of technological advances they hide beneath their simple appearance. ;)

Also, what about "Contact"?

[bananners]

Oooh very interesting point about the stones, thanks for that insight. I'll think some more about it and I may watch the movie again to help me out. I'll definitely make a decision before we really get going with challenges though. :)

Contact! Great movie, I'll add it. :)

[viivi]

I don't understand the hesitation here... half the movie takes place in a spaceship, and the bad guys fire lasers instead of bullets.

[bananners]

Added The Fifth Element after watching it tonight. Sorry for the delay but I hadn't seen it in forever and Wikipedia wasn't helping much. :/ Thanks for the addition though! :)

How about:

Aaron Stone
Spider-Man(different series)

And are you looking to include animation or just live action? If so, how about:

Meet The Robinsons
Jimmy Neutron
My Life As A Teenage RobotThe Incredibles
Wall E
Treasure Planet

Also, while I would personally love to see it, I wasn't sure if Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (film) would have a place here since in the film, it's about his technology, but I don't know if it's specific enough to be considered SCIFI.

[princessatta]

Sorry, somehow my coding got messed up. I meant to add, The Incredibles. Additionally, I wanted to say, that of the animation, I don't want to seem like I'm bombarding, so consideration to the first 3 (Meet The Robinsons, Jimmy Neutron, and My Life As A Teenage Robot) would be greatly appreciated as opposed to The Incredibles, Wall E and Treasure Planet if you think there's too many. But of course, you can consider any and all and say yes or to any. You're the boss :)

[bananners]

Thanks for the additions! I added all of the ones you mentioned. I don't mind adding tons of stuff, as long as they're all things that you at least intend to maybe use in challenges. I don't want people randomly trolling Wikipedia looking for random stuff they have no intention of using, but as long as you think you might want to write a fic or make an icon of it or something, I'm happy to add as many things as you want. :)

[princessatta]

Definitely all things I would love to use :) So thanks.
