I've read that artists of the period were very fond of slipping in sexual references as a sort of form of social rebellion, so I suspect these guys knew exactly what they were doing when they put Jupiter sideways.

Evidently you'll find a lot of phallic symbols and implied homoeroticism too, because it was right at the start of the gay rights movement and many kitch artists were as queer as a three dollar bill.

Back when nobody knew jack shit about anatomy

some of these designs look great tho'

Hey it's the Big MT

Someone earlier mentioned that people, back in the 30s/40s had some form of hope that what appeared on these covers could be plausible in real life.

Was there a certain point where people were like, and not just normal people but science men and others that just said "fuck it most of this isn't possible right now and if it is we only have several prototypes that cost out the ass" ?

I mean most things really only matter when they're past the novelty phase e.g Everything from planes - video games.

On a side note has anyone else felt that this bullshit has made a resurgence e.g hover boards, jet/rocket packs / advanced robotics / holograms and of course virtual reality. But at the same time has this weird cheap stagnated feeling to it?

Pic semi related as in the 60s -70s it was the age of pills! Also sorry in advance for the shit grammar.

As education got better and more universal, TV started explaining shit properly and communication & access to information became easier, people started realizing that some of the monster designs where fucking retarded.

Stark Trek can be said to have started the "realistic" sci fi trend, they were one of the first ( i know of) to star humanoids instead of starfish aliens

Designs may look anatomically and scientifically sound now but there's a lot of accepted bullshit in the form of being retarded from the biological point of view. but that requires some serious hard fi to understand

I'll never get why John Carter was received so poorly.
I loved it.

>>17635475
It only feels stagnated because it can never live up to the hype, or at least not at this moment.

No joke but this is basically steampunk long before it was ever even known as steampunk or even conceived. The whole genre was based on speculation of how the future would be like according 19th century scif-i authors and artists.

Note that UFOs of that time were imagined as airships (shortly before they were even invented) just as 20th century UFOs slightly resembled satellites that were shortly later invented.

it's the same with edgy plebs on youtube when I'm enjoying some good music like shoegaze or dub.
