Why is sci-fi such hot garbage, such as Star Wars, Dune, three-body problems, Star Trek, etc.?

I've always loved the idea of the genre, but it rarely lives up to the hype.

Artists are propagandists, and therefore they're usually susceptible to propaganda.

Artists are very easy to program, so that you can program others,

and artists don't understand the free market.

Artists don't understand the free market. Artists don't understand the free market.

It's been a long time since somebody came from the free market

or the remnants of it to the art world.

Artists are generally in socialist artistic paradise situations

or they require so much money that they have to surrender their integrity,

right? No, Star Wars isn't even science fiction. Star Wars is, uh, is, is, is, uh, magic with robots.

It's King Arthur with, I mean, even, even half the characters are covered in metal, whether

the C3PO or Bobafed or whatever, right? It's just, it's just Arthurian crap.

I mean, it's got swords, it's got magic, it's got a princess stolen by an evil warlord.

I mean, it is, um, Star Wars, Star Wars is not,

Star Wars is not, uh, science fiction.

It's just magic.

Yeah, it's just D&D on a desert planet.

I mean, it's not.

I mean, and so is Dune, right?

Dune is the most hilarious non-sequitur known to filmmaking.

I mean, it's ridiculously bad, the first Dune.
