discussion Star Wars VS Star Trek

[hensd]

Of those two, i like the original trilogy of Star Wars and old Star Trek with Picard.

I enjoy both for what they are but recent shows have ruined my enthusiasm for both IP's.

Star Trek is the better universe.
Both are dead franchises though. All modern ST and SW is terrible.

The original star wars trilogy is the best scifi movies in my opinion.

Star Wars until they fucked it up

I'm a Star Wars fan, the only Star Trek media I've seen is the new movies.

Star Wars I-VI with some selected elements of the extended universe (Rogue One, Andor). Some great video games as well. It's embraced camp (they say 'space opera'?) in such a way that the franchise can alternate between over the top scifi and drama/tragedy with great suspension of disbelief.

I don't know Star Trek that well. Missed the boat. How would that element compare? The newer movies have some drama to them and feel a little serious, perhaps?
If I were to start, which series best stands the test of time and shares that element I described?

I prefer Star Wars, but I also really like Star Trek: The Next Generation. I watched these for "Epic sci-fi space stuff", in the end of the day, neither of them makes too much sense. You really expect me to believe the captain of a ship along with several other high-ranking officers are the first to be dispatched? Or that the Holodeck can apparently make things that are phisically tangible outside of it's controlled space somehow, yet no one ever questions or utilizes that? lol. Star Wars might have it's fair share of nonsense, but it embraces it. Space monks with swords of radiant colored light and psychic powers that originate from a bacteria colony that lives in symbiosis with them? A station/ship the size of a moon that destroys planets with a gigantic laser beam? An evil wizard that manipulates eveyrone behind the scenes using the dark art of politicks and rejuvenates himself with his foul magicks? Hell yeah.

Most of the aliens in Star trek are just humans with some thing extra in their head, I find that pretty boring, but there are some cool ones too, like Changelings, the Borg, the Q. Star Wars aliens are mainly humanoid, but they're usual pretty different, it also features many robots, which Star Trek lacks, I can really only recall Data (who I really love as a character)

Soy fan de Star Wars, pero creo que las películas originales de ambas franquicias son las mejores.

¿Qué franquicia prefieres?

Actually neither of the two but if I had to choose a Star Wars series, it would be because of the games
