Vander Meer’s Big Book of Sience Fiction has countless stories that run at odds to the sentiment in this post.

Agreed I'd say the most famous sci-fi don't touch on any of these but it is just a joke post I guess

[–] Varpeggio@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah I neglected to add that Vander Meer’s motivation for making the anthology was specifically to try and crush the preconception of Sci-Fi this post is a part of!

There's also When the Wind Blows, if you want to be depressed but also want an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

And the American version was The Day After (1983)

Entirely different movies with the same premise. The Day After messed me up as a kid. But Threads haunts me as an adult.

As someone who read more Honor Harrington than he should have, the American one is a bit on the nose.

I only wish the audio books were available in non-amazon sources.

[–] AAA@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

I never thought to meet someone else who read those.

Guilty pleasure, really.

Australians did the Seppo Nuclear Apocalypse first.

That was the whole premise behind MadMax 2.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago

That last one might not be sci-fi for long

[–] Berlinblades@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Judge Dredd, Threads, Lifeforce(Kind of) certainly supports the UK sci fi Idea. French scifi is a little more like EVERYONE ,good and Bad is turned on at all times. American sci fi is spot in,i can't think of any counter evidence.
