    Star Trek didn't initially take off because people weren't used to such an idea in the 60's... in fact, the reason the original series had a second pilot is that the studio thought the first pilot was too cerebral for audiences. Having a female first officer, etc.
    They wanted to get rid of Spock because of his "satanic" appearance, they felt it wouldn't sit well with the bible belt south. Then you had the interracial crew, in the 60's, having a black woman in such a position of power was groundbreaking.
    Star Trek also addressed contemporary issues, just set them in a futuristic setting.
    Star Trek is for people who don't want to see explosions and conflict every two seconds. :)

      ***** If "people weren't used to such an idea in the 60's" why did Doctor Who took off? Could it be that it was more interesting. It wasn't the period it was the story. Love Star Trek Next Gen by the way.

      sinjisdf1 Star Wars is an action based movie. That's why there is excitement constantly. Well not really. Most of the memorable scenes are dialogue. Let's forget about I-III. Star Trek was a TV series that was made into a movie..way later. On a television series you can't have action every second and tremendous changes to character and storylines. In a movie..you have to do it all in an hour and a half or so..or humans create their own action. Oh yes

    Star Trek tackles questions of humanity we'll probably still be asking and struggling with for generations to come. The quality, depth, and character development of Star Trek's writing simply is well beyond that of Star Wars. Star Wars is solely meant to entertain. Think of both series from someone living in the 24th century, and and try to imagine what show has a higher probability of being laughed at by society.

    • @archer1949
      @archer1949 9 років тому +10

      Star Wars is mythic. It has primordial archetypes that are timeless. King Arthur, Tolkien, Gilgamesh, The Hero With A Thousand Faces. Progress is an illusion. History is cyclical. The perfect society will never happen. They conveniently ignore how this "ideal" society works.
      Watching Star Trek, especially TOS is already laughably dated, steeped in the 60's. Their handling of "issues" are ham-handed and blatantly obvious. Even the Star Wars Prequels, clumsy as they were, had a better handle on how governments and "human" nature works.

    Why is this even an argument? Do we have to hate one in order to love the other? I don't think there's really any grounds to argue the superiority of either franchise. You kind of have to just watch them both and decide which one you like more. For me, it's Star Trek. This video would've been better if instead of arguing which is better they'd simply discuss the differences and similarities.

      Anonymous " Do we have to hate one in order to love the other?"
      You're the one puting it in emotional terms of love and hate.
      Star Wars is pure Social Darwinism, i.e. some are claimed to be naturally more powerful than others, and therefore rule over others as a result. Meanwhile Star Trek is about populism and equality; meanwhile Star Wars is basically a galaxy conquered by the alien from "Day of the Dove" locked in eternal conflict to amusement of the midichlorian cooties.
      So a good vs. plot would be where Kirk has to infiltrate the Star Wars galaxy to save them, and ends with a speech where he warns against accepting simple answers to complex questions.

      No it didn't Just because they're both set in space doesn't mean Trek influenced Wars. George Lucas took insparation from Old Samurai films and Lord of the Rings Books. George was always going to make Star Wars, weather Star Trek was successful or not. (This is not a firey comeback, at most im trying to spark a friendly discussion) 👍

    One split I have between the two pop culture franchises is actors. I remember my parents watching Star Trek when I was about 3 years old, I ended up being attracted to Patrick Stewart. I remember watching Reading Rainbow back then too and I didn’t know that Levar Burton was the guy with the visor over his eyes. I was about 8 years old when I first saw Star Wars and I was impressed with the acting of Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinness and Billy Dee Williams with a lot more action and stuff that Star Trek doesn’t have. So I would choose Star Wars. Star Trek to me is like something that just comes around a lot. I could never even let go of various things and people who I loved seeing back then and still do to this date.

    The moral of Star Trek is peace and exploration. What's the moral of Star Wars-- be born strong with the Force, since otherwise you're screwed?
    The problem with Star Trek was the movies, starting with Khan; ie. Khan was originqally intended to present the dilemma between elitism and populism, and whether mankind would, pursue superiority rather than individuality-- but also that advancement required a sacrifice, in that equality also meant giving up greatness. Khan wasnt evil, as was made clear from the beginning; he was just obsolete-- which is why he chose to live on his own planet and be ruler, rather than join 23rd century society and be a commoner-- as he explained to Kirk with just a reference, he believed that "it's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven." (And also Kirk dropped all charges against him, so he was a free man; meanwhile the planet was no worse than the Botany Bay colony in Australia).
    Of course, this was too deep for the popcorn-crowd, and so it was dumbed down to good ol' sensationalism, and Khan became the new Darth Vader equivalent, i.e. a ruthless criminal who just sought power. So naturally some deus ex machina destroyed the planet and blew Khan out of the Phantom Zone.

    From what I can understand in general terms Star Trek fans are more serious sci-fi connoisseurs, than most Star Wars fans. Star War is really a standard heroes journey story set in space, it could have taken place in any time period or location. It is not an unique story, but the characters and locations make it great. That why it appeals to such a wide audience. Overall Star Trek is much more intellectual and has its own strong following in the sci-fi world. Granted I know plenty of people who are complete geeks about both. Personally I like both but I can watch the original Star Wars movies over and over again.

      Charles Gabriel Well, phasers can be set to wide beam, so they can cover an area instead of a single target.
      Also, phasers can cut through pretty much anything either or simply vaporize it.
      You also have to demonstrate how a light saber would actually work, in regards to physics. Since light only stops due an object in its path... how does a light saber blade work?

      Chris Heyburn Star Trek has plasma weapons.
      Most phasers were classified as particle weapons and fire nadion particle beams, but some like the Ferengi hand phaser were classified as plasma weapons and fired forced plasma beams.
      Of course, Nadion particles are a fictional artifically generated particle from processing plasma. In the nadion particle beam phasers, plasma was passed to a phaser emitter resulting in a discharge of nadion particles.

  • @vincehume5933

    Actually, Luke is incorrect. When Star Trek first came out in the 1960s it was popular as any TV show could be. However, the studios didnt know how to measure their viewership correctly. Because of their inaccurate polling, it appeared as though the show was not popular among their target demographics and so planned to cancel after 2 years. When the public got wind of this, they flooded the studios with letters begging to bring the show back. And so they did for a third season. Again, because the studio execs still werent enamored with the show, they aired the 3rd season on a Friday night at 8 or 9pm. In the 1960s, thats when the majority of their target audience went out; they didnt stay at home and watch the tele. And so that effectively killed the show. Also, the studio execs didnt like Rodenberry and his liberal/progressive nuances so they were actually glad to be rid of it.
    A resurrection followed in the early 1970s when Star Trek the animated series came out. And eventually the movies followed in the 1980s. but the followup early 1970s would never have occurred if the show wasn't already popular, and same with the movies.
    Also, sci fi conventions weren't a new concept. They've been occurring before the 1970s, just in a much different form. But at these conventions you also had a lot of star trek fans. The first official star trek convention didnt come out until 1970s, I believe. So Richard, you are correct. LLAP.

    I love them both, but I slightly prefer star trek. I'm sorry when people say it's boring, because it's not, star trek talks about a lot of serious issues and no one EVER focuses on the amazing relationship between the characters. I'm in love with TOS (even if I reeeally like TNG's crew as well) and to see the dynamics on the vessel, the love and the respect between Kirk, Spock, Mccoy, Scotty, Uhura and all the others, the way they treat the women and the foreigners and the other species always makes me hopeful for our future. I think that star wars with its everlasting fight between good and evil will never truly describe the shades of human nature and the variety of beings that could dwell in our galaxy alone! but it provides good entertainment anyway :) and I must admit that I like lightsabers more than phasers (although nothing can beat a tricorder 😂)

    Has he never watched Star Wars, like ever? Talking about bad guys- Borg, Romulans, Klingons for Star Trek- Star Wars...Let's see... bad guys... huh.... bad guys... No... No everyones friends in those movies... no definitive "Bad Guys", Anakin, Palpatine, the Jedi Order, Battle Droids- they just have a friendly discussion over who should rule the Galaxy and Palpatine wins, with Anakins help, so all but Yoda and Obi-Wan (and maybe a few non movie Jedi's) agree to leave the Galaxy until Palpatines Empire and Luke Skywalker with the Rebellion have another Friendly discussion and Palpatine looses because of Anakin. Yeah... no bad guys in Star Wars... It's simply just Star Friends. WHAT DO YOU MEAN "Lazer Brain" THERE ARE NO EPIC BAD GUYS!!!??? Darth Vader! Emperor/Chancellor/Old Guy Palpatine/Darth Lord Sidious! General Grevious! JABBA THE HUTT! STORMTROOPERS! GRAND MOFF TARKIN!!!! SITH!!!! BOBBA FETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy does not know Star Wars and has clearly only read a script to skim a few points here and there about Star Friends- I mean Star Wars.
    ...Video Fail...
    Let me add just a more if I may- you can't stop me by the way- JABBA...Jabba the Hutt is an Intergalactic Gangster that'll probably eat your prime directive for breakfast and have starfleet for lunch. He runs a significant portion of an entire Galaxy that would take Star Fleet decades/centuries to travel- since Voyager takes time to get from Point A to Point last episode. Jabba has everything but a Lazer Tommy Gun . Not nearly enough of him is seen in the Movies but you have to be pretty powerful for a Galactic Empire to leave you alone, and share the Galaxy with. The Only reason he was defeated was because he underestimated the strength of a slave girl.
    Bobba Fett- Cool bounty hunter- beloved by all despite appearing 3 times in 3 original movies. He's got a Jet Pack, Flamethrower, cool armor. Try to Phazer that armor, he'll cook you for Dinner since Jabba needs a third meal and he needs pay.
    General Grevious was pretty much a loser coward but he did some cool things like be a cyborg and be the first non force user in Star Wars movies to use a lightsaber. He put up a good fight/run away and attack enemy in his air time. Grevious commands a Galactic Army/Navy who are fighting for freedom (I wonder who Star Trek would support- Clones or Robots- There is a great lack of machine people in Star Trek- but Grevious he would lightsaber a Borgs cyborgness off as he runs away on his wheel mobile.
    DARTH VADER!!!!! He teaches his officers that choking on you aspirations is not a good idea, He'll kill a Captain of his if their just not operating well enough for him. He'll cut his own son's hand off- force choke his own pregnant wife- that's pretty bad guy don't you think? His lightsaber will knock that phazer blast back at that red shirt while he plot twists into being the Captains Cousin three times removed's father. And he's smart off to take the Passengers Alive incase they know something unlike Kylo Ren. He'll even throw the Galaxy at his Son's feet or for one he call's sister if he doesn't accept. HE IS SUCH A BAD GUY HE BECAME GOOD AGAIN JUST BECAUSE HE COULDN'T BE ANY BADDER OF A BAD GUY AFTER BAD GUYING AROUND FOR A BAD TIME!!!!! You could even make the case he was the bad guy in the prequels with enough evidence.
    And EMPEROR PALPATINE DARTH SIDIOUS OLD GUY who really doesn't want to be CHANCELLOR but will for the "good" of the Republic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can't say enough about him! he's the Baddest Bad guy that ever badded a bad guy! Experience: Manipulated a child into eventually becoming a bad guy. Manipulated the emotions of Teen/Adult into becoming a bad guy. Logically pointed out the flaws of most of the Jedi Console. Was able to hide his ultra bad guy power from all of the ultra good guys until the ultra conflicted kid finds out about and then he still bad guys this good guy. Started a Galactic Civil War. Fought Against both, fought for both, destroyed both. Was able to manage a Galactic Empire pretty effectively for at least a decade while most great people have trouble even running an Empire or even a Kingdom for just half a decade. He was able to make ultra hero Luke fight his own father, and possibly consider joining the dark side out of grief for his could be killed sister. He was able to keep super bad guy Darth Vader on a leash until the very last seen of his very last movie at pretty close to the very last part and only couldn't keep him on said leash because of Paternal Bonds and turning his back to a potential threat- which he was also smart enough to prepare for by making Vader purposefully vulnerable to electricity incase he decided to betray him. This man is responsible for genocide, for labeling creatures no sentient, for an evil galactic empire, for the near extinction of the Jedi, For the almost downfall of the last Jedi, for so much.
    And somehow Borgs who choose to learn from everyone rather than EXTERMEEENATE!!! EXTERMEEENATE!!! rather than kill, somehow out bad guys these bad guys. I get it, Star Trek bad guys are bad guys. And all the Star Treks put together have a longer run time than all the Star Wars movies put together. But come on. At the very least don't discredit Darth Vader or Jabba the Hutt. At the very least mention one of their names, even in passing.
    Next time get an actual fan of Star Wars to discuss Star Wars- because he totally lost all credibility at that point, whatever else he might of said or done in this video or his life. He did not do it as genuine fan or even honest viewer of Star Wars.
    "And that's all I have to say about that." ~Forrest Gump
    Well then... in his defense... he could just be making a point of how there definitely is iconic bad guys... there is a chance of that... and if that is the case... well I went from Warp Drive to Hyperspace a little quick.... but... well... he should have made that a little more clear... before fans of both fly off the handle......................... I WIN!!!
