Isn't most American SciFi the direct counterpart to British SciFi?

Space army fights bad aliens. Space radioactive now, but bad aliens dead πŸ‘ Space Captain hero.

Also, my friend needs some examples of French SciFi.

The French sci-fi one is literally Moebius comics

My friend literally doesn't know what that is.

The Incal is fantastic. Last I heard some American studio was trying to make a movie out of it

Does your friend somehow not know that searching is a thing?

Barbarella. It’s an incredibly weird movie with ~~Brigitte Bardot~~ Jane Fonda as the bombshell. Pretty sure the provided definition of french sci-fi is based on this movie.

Edit: misremembered the actress

One of my favorite memories is watching someone on acid watching Barbarella for 10 minutes.

It's a fun, goofy movie. But the blue knife-teeth babies will ruin your week.

American sci-fi goes all over the place. Look at Phillip K. Dick for instance.

That dude was on an island by himself with the insane shit he wrote

Ah, Luc Besson, solid if not particularly deep entertainment. Just what the doctor ordered.

We'll see about those breasts.

I'm fairly sure that's half referring to Fantastic Planet, but might also Gandahar. Both rated PG for copious unfun, more like decorative boobs.
