Ah, yes. The Spike Spiegel wing.
Edit: Where are my manners? Let’s throw Vash the Stampede in there too. Not enough love for Trigun these days.

The humanoid typhoon?! The six million double dollar man?!
I kid. You’re absolutely right.
“Love and peace!”
Mistborn books 4-6 (Wax and Wayne series)
Although I definitely recommend Mistborn 1-3 first. Which are awesome in their own right.
Sci-fi isn’t until Era 3 at least
True. The groundwork for it is set in era2. But there is some steampunk-esq leanings in that direction at the end of Era2.
But serious to anybody reading this… mistborn is fantastic and the change to a new era is also fantastic.
Mistborn era 1: Epic Fantasy with metals based magic system.
One of the examples is people with certain abilities can “push” or “pull” on metallic objects like coins and leap, fly or fight with it.
Mistborn era 2: Epic fantasy magic in the age of firearms and steam engines with metals based magic system.
Same as above… but now somebody can fire a bullet into the ground of a small gulch and use the metal of the bullet to push off of allowing them to “leap” that gulch. Or another person can deflect bullets fired at them, etc etc.
Recommend? I’d think you’d be pretty damn lost if you just started there.
Yeah. Start with mistborn 1. But know there’s some awesome stuff that is coming along the lines of what the post mentioned.
Not if you listen to the Jet Black Berries.
1st album, Sundown on Venus
Galaxy Rangers or Saber Rider come to mind, when I think about a setting like this. But both are nearly 40 years old now and were a bit obscure even back then.
Muse’s Knights of Sidonia is what springs to mind
Cowboy bebop
Fine, so, in which of the 3 would the inspirational science fiction westerns be?
Westworld kinda?
Inspirational??
Cautionary Science Fiction Western.
Westworld inspired me to find new shows to watch because it turned into absolute fucking garbage, so there’s that?
Maybe they’re a chatbot?
Not to regular people, but I bet it gave Silicon Valley and lots of other people with more money and power than sense ALL kinds of bad ideas. Dystopian fiction often does 🙁
literally the dark tower
Blaine is a pain and that’s the truth.
The dark tower series is my favorite post-apocalyptic fantasy sci-fi western series.
Firefly?
Firefly.
Yes and Cowboy bebop and Samurai 7 (not a western but a scifi period piece I guess.)
You’re gorram right.
Best inspirational, sci-fi, western in the 'verse!
I tapped in to type this. As most here have.
Cowboys vs. Aliens was great, I don’t care if anyone disagrees.
It’s so bad it’s amazing. It’s like pacific rim
Its okay to be wrong sometimes
I’m so glad I’m not the only one to assume this arrow points to the “Trigun” and “Cowboy Bebop” aisle.
Outlaw Star: “Am I a joke to you?”
(…yes.)
Good point!
HFY?
“How Fucking Yellow”?
Star Wars?
I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

The real reason for his dislike of sand. Good read, but it CONTAINS SPOILERS.
Ohmygod, that changes everything wow, I would never expect such an unforeseeable twist, this elevates the writing to Shakespearean levels, Anakin is the new Hamlet, thank you for this inspiration.
…Why is there Dunkin Donuts inside a hospital?
Because the resident practicing their first ever medical procedure on you has been awake 38 hours.
Until alarmingly recently there was a Burger King in my nearest general hospital.
I never could make sense of that.
it is because, at any given time, there are hundreds, to thousands, of family, and friends, of patients in the hospital. Hospitals are large places, hard to navigate when you don’t know them, and even then take a long time to get in and out of. Also they have a similar amount of various employees. People got tired of the cafeteria food, and began voicing complaints about how big of a pain in the ass getting food that doesn’t suck in. Also, a lot, even most, of the people in the hospital are not there due to dietary stemming problems. When you are sick and/or injured, you want comfort foods. People want to bring you comfort food.
So, over time, they started making space for commercial food service to rent from them. So you will see fast food, and sometimes whole on chain restaurants. This also can be a source of income.
honestly i really kinda like big hospitals for this reason, they just end up feeling like an entire ultradense town, i have to imagine something like this is what it would feel like to be onboard a big star trek spaceship.
I used to work at a hospital that was so large, the city it was in had it designated as a sub-city entity, for considerations of emergency management.
I’ve been running a tabletop campaign for Scum & Villainy which is very much in the Space Opera/Western category. It’s been a really fun and evocative setting to game in.
Coriolis fits that vein as well.
