Star Wars is too widely popular for much to be inferred by the shirt, whereas Star Trek fans tend to be more alike : nerdy, generally nice.
Star Wars is so heavily merchandised that you really can’t tell anything about someone wearing a shirt with Yoda on it, impulse buy at a Wal-Mart. But show me someone wearing a Riker T-Shirt, and I’ll show you someone who went to a convention or decided to order a shirt off of a website. More likely to be one of us harmless earnest dorks who knows who did what at Tenagra.
Lucas when the merch prevailed
Lucas, with Kenner.
Where does 40k fall on this spectrum? Is it just a nope by default or is it dependent on faction or memetics.
HEAVILY dependent on faction
Salamanders forever!!!
Inquisition!
I feel this is a very clever joke but I don’t know enough lore to appreciate it.
Less a joke about the lore and more a joke about how some people get really weird about some factions, like the Death Corps of Krieg and the Black Templars who are fan favorites but also attract a very fashy side of the fan base. Personally I’m more of an Armageddon Steel Legion, Blood Ravens, Adeptus Mechanacus type of guy.
With the laugh track edited out:
Thank you, the laugh track detracts from the rest of it.
Can someone tell me what my reaction to this poll should be?
uncontrollable laughter
I’d wear a Blake’s 7 shirt if there was an iconic logo that wasn’t also the emblem of the fascist reigime in-universe.
The bland target logo from Series D doesn’t really appeal to me.
disney practically turned SW into slop like MCU.
Not all Star Trek fans are deep thinkers.
Not many Star Wars fans are deep thinkers.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
That’s not fair! The poor blokes won’t even understand they’re being made fun if!
Tbh I was going to reply but I couldn’t think of anything. (I’m a Farscape fan, not sure if that’s related?)
I’m pretty sure that Farscape fans fall into an entirely different Venn diagram.
One that overlaps with stargate?
I have 2 Trek shirts, 3 Star Wars, 2 Doctor Who, and a Stargate shirt. Where do I fall?
But one of my Trek shirts is a blue Andorian Mining Consortium shirt, (They run from no one) and it’s so awesome.
If I was bleeding out in the street, and you approached me to help in a Doctor Who shirt, I would pretend I’d already died.
This has more to do with popularity than star wars or strek itself.
I’d say the opposite, actually. Star Wars is so mainstream that any douche could wear a T-shirt. Trek is a niche.
No, it doesn’t. I love both franchises, and I get the difference.
Unless Andor. Andor is the Star Trek of Star Wars.
I wouldn’t trust them until they told me which ST series they loved.
Valid.
“I’ve only seen the Section 31 movie.”
I honestly don’t even know what a star trek shirt would be (unless they mean the literal shirts they wear)
You sent me on a fun search rabbit hole.
It’s tough to pick my favourite. The faux band shirt or the whatever you call this.
Shirts depicting the franchise not shirts the actors wear
Even in cosplay I’m picking a redshirt over a wookie.
Sokath, his eyes uncovered.
Temba, his arms wide
Darmok and Jelad, on the ocean
I dont really know shit about star trek but star wars is extremely overrated, i mean there were a few great movies but like nobody dresses up like characters from the godfather or citizen kane or idk any other great movies really. Idk lotr is super popular and it’s awesome but idk lotr was also even better movies and still not as like a religion for people, like people make their whole identity being a star wars fan it’s bizzare. Idk i just dont get star wars people i guess.
nobody dresses up like characters from the godfather or citizen kane
The character in these movies are simply regular somewhat well dressed people of their time.
Are you claiming that nobody ever wears a suit?And people dress up as their favorite characters all the time. It’s part of every fandom.
You have never been to Comicon or another, have you? 😉
The style of shirts they wore in TOS are perfectly fine for casual wear too.
Maybe even business casual.
