>Supernatural abilities in space/future

Is star wars the only series that does this?
>>
>>85745829
Dune
>>
>>85745829
Wtf
Thats like 60% of all scifi ever made
>>
>>85745897
>Dune and Star Wars
>sci-fi
Heh
>>
>>85745880

Nothing in Dune is supernatural, it's all the result of intense physical and mental training + narcotics
>>
Looper did it. It was worse for it, but it had it
>>
>>85745880
dune kind of goes out of its way to stress that not even the mindteleporting ships are considered supernatural but rather our misunderstanding of how reality works
>>
>>85745829
Even basic scifi tropes like space travel don't work without magic. It has always been a fantasy sub-genre.
>>
>>85746061
eh, hard sci fi exists, though none in film or series atm. even in the expanse they handwaved their insanely efficient fusion engines
>>
>>85745829
Q in Tng
>>
>>85745829
Does it have to be written as being supernatural or would you also count the "every sufficiently advanced technology seems like magic"-trope?

What movie faggot?

>>85746219
The Mass Effect game series has biotics (technology infused into humans, creates hardlight) but some alien races like the Asari are still supernatural.

And this is different from the force how?

how new do you have to be to not even know what 40k is

>>85745829
No, a lot do that, but they try to pass it off as """""""""""science"""""""""""

Battlestar galactica has supernatural shit going on. Wtf even was starbuck at the end
>>
>>85746725
So does star wars. Like it or not, midichlorians are still Canon.

>>
>>85745829
many sci-fi have psychic power which is a way space magic
come to think about it the force is in a way very similar to many sci-fi psychic
>telekinesis, precognition, mind fuck
and only a few people with special gene can do it
save for obi force disappear

Shadow run tabletop
>>
>>85745829
Shadowrun is a high fantasy setting that has advanced to the point that they have cyberpunk technology. So you have orcs, dwarves, and wizards hacking into cyberspace to stop a multinational conglomerate from trying to wake up a dragon. It's neat.
>>
Most future/space sci-fi has supernatural elements, usually psychics. Firefly and Wing Commander are the only real exceptions.
>>
>>85745829
>What is lotr
>>
Classic Sci-fi used to feature a lot of esp and telepathy. With very few exceptions almost always ruined the plot.
I think it's a good thing that this trope has been abandoned, and these days is relegated mostly to sci-fantasy like star wars or WH40k.
>>
>>85745931
>being a Trekkie faggot
heh indeed.
>>
>>85745829

Star Trek
Stargate
The Expanse
Every Marvel movie
Every DC movie.

Every good SF movie know that science and magic are linked. They also know that biology allows anything.

You are so limited.

Star wars is in the past
>>
>>85746984
That movie was appalling

>>85745829
Looper was set in the future

There are psychics in B5, WH40K, Dredd...

I hate the word supernatural, it makes no sense. The Force is supposed to be a natural part of the universe, as is telepathy and all this other stuff in these movies.
>>
>>85752749
Well I am one.

>>85746130
>none in film or series
Apollo 13
Gattaca
Planetes
More depending on how strict your standards are (eg. Moon, The Andromeda Strain)
>>
>>85745937

Nothing in SW is supernatural, it's all the result of intense physical and mental training + midichlorians
>>
>>85752804
Magic is any law of nature that cares about individual people. The Force was originally this, but since Midochlorians were introduced it no longer counts as magic.

>>85745829
Firefly
Star Trek
