It's an question as old as time itself. Which of the two major sci-fi franchises is the best? Not, which do you prefer, but which is the best?
One is space fantasy. The other leans heavily into science fiction. One’s about war, destiny, and space wizards. The other’s diplomacy, exploration, and technobabble. They’re built on completely different foundations but people still insist on comparing them like it’s a fair fight.
So here’s the challenge: strip away nostalgia, childhood bias, and merchandising. Which franchise has had the greater cultural impact? The better storytelling across its lifespan? The stronger characters, world-building, consistency?
No "I just like" answers. Argue your case. Be brutal if you have to.
Let’s settle it. THE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
