I will dispute the notion that you can disambiguate between old and new Spocks by hotness.

What they have:

Literal magic

Immortal Vulcans that are a bit more chill

Personal cloaking device

Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

What we have

(see meme)

I see no downsides.

I mean are they chill though?

Historically speaking Tolkien's elves aren't exactly known for being chill. Ha

pretty sure Feanor was an Elf, and that dude had exactly the least amount of chill

"Sure, root beer drinking humie, you can wed my daughter, if you bring me a jewel. It's somewhere in Minas Corva, good luck, there are five lights, seeyoudeadbye..."

Sure they are. They're just a wee bit racist. "If your fitlhy dwarve wants to pass through our woods, he must be blindfolded and our lord and lady will get to decide if he leaves the woods alive or not."

Elves be crazy. Half the time they're in a giant strop about something or other usually beyond human comprehension because it's so petty.

Personal cloaking device

Star Trek has that, too.

Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

And that:

Also the TR-116

  • “Any sufficiently advanced technology appears to be magic to the primitive” — Picard, paraphrased

  • Vulcans are functionally immortal (remember)

  • ST also has personal cloaks. And transporters (better than giant eagles that only take you halfway)

  • Worf would do like a word about the Bat’leth and other assorted slicey things

Lotr does have that pipe weed though.

bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 2y

Replicator pipe weed just isn't dank enough 😔

LotR: Hot elves.
Trek: Hot space elves.

The budget vulcans and the hot variant killed me

No mention of salted pork or second breakfast. Obviously propoganda from a Big Trek shill

I am deeply offended and highly amused

Never mind all that; Star Trek has LOTR itself!
