I've got a simple question for you /m/. Why don't

We had Interstellar, and maybe the recent Star Trek movies and the upcoming series can do something for us. What other pro-space Hollywood movies have their been, I feel like I'm forgetting something.

The Martian was great. Best movie I've seen in a while.

Gravity

Do you think Space Brothers could work in the US if it were in live action?

Look at it like this anon.

What's there left to do in space?

We put a man and our flag on the moon.

We drew a giant fucking wanger on the surface of Mars.

As far as accomplishments go, that's pretty much all there is to do, until we find ayy lmao poon to go stare at.

I imagine, even if something like the Chinese putting a man on the moon, and then he goes and kicks the US Flag over and dumps some dog feces on it, we wouldn't care all that much.

No. The humor would have to be altered radically, and there would have to be some kind of attention grab every episode.
Space Brothers is great despite being quite slowly paced.

In America, everything has to be here and now.

I don't watch much american television, so I don't really know what you mean by "so inherently jap".
Do you mean what this guy is saying?

I think a lot of the government's drive for space developement had been decreasing since the end of the cold war, and most of it became less and less flashy feats of engineering and in-person exploration. Also, very few people want to leave the earth forever and dump stuff like the internet or football. Most people wouldn't stay enthused or see the importance of projects that are similar to worms-in-space or "look at me float and catch food in my mouth" for the umpteenth time.

I really miss any new and big Space Opera movies. Most of what comes out is either Star Trek or Star Wars. No one dares to introduce a completely new Space Opera to the audience.

>>14638740
Just watch an episode of the Big Bang Theory. Do you want Space Bros to turn into that?

>>14638822
I've seen the term "Space Opera" used to describe so many things that I'm unsure as to what it even means.

>>14638684
Right, that was what I was thinking of. Though personally, I didn't think it was great. I needed less upbeat humor, and more contemplative Matt Damon staring across the desolate Martian landscape.

I purposely didn't mention Gravity, because it can arguably be considered an anti-space movie. A space age Tower of Babel. (Well, a real space age Babel would feature a space elevator.)

>>14638866
Now that you bring it up, have we ever had a pro-space film that wasn't based on a true story?
Almost every space movie I remember is a thriller, where everything goes wrong.

>>14638901
You mean, a pro-space film that IS based on a true story?

Because I'd consider something like 2001 a pro-space film. Sure, HAL happens, but that's not really the point, the point is the glory of our progress as a species. Same with Interstellar and The Martian.

>>14638901
Space Brothers had a film adaptation if that counts.
