Favorite Sci-Fi Non-Trilogy
Oct. 8th, 2016 09:44 amHas anyone else's brain ever connected disparate continuities and decided they are, in fact, one? And not in the usual "this crossover is crack but it's so much FUN" way.
My favorite non-canon-linked film trilogy is (in internal chronological order) Pacific Rim, Avatar, and The Fifth Element. Somehow, for some reason, it makes sense to me as humanity's interaction with interstellar development. First we get invaded by interdimensional kaijuu, then we continue ruining the planet like they liked but take what tech we developed from that and go into space and be asshats to the natives, then eventually get enough of a clue that we're just another blip in the interstellar community.
Obviously the three films are separated by centuries. No crossovers to write here.
But it's fun scenery for the brainstem to gnaw upon.
