Star Wars: Fighting space Nazis
Superman: protecting people from Lex Luthor; evil billionaire
Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Marvel: “Evil is bad, how about let’s not genocide” (ignoring the billionaire worship w/ Iron Man)
X-Men: always been an allegory for LGBTQ+ and disabled folks
RATM: I mean, it’s in the name.
Starting to see a theme here hmm
Everyone's a billionaire in Star Trek. But oddly enough, everyone is controlled by a huge naval organisation.
Nah, most of humanity at least is either living idyllic lives, or chose to live on a frontier world or research station or something. Starfleet's just the exploratory arm of the Federation; but that's where most of the fun stories are!
