What fantasy world would you most want to live in?

[picklefork]

In order to assist in making what should be a very difficult decision easier, I am providing this guide.

The Star Trek Universe[/i]
Common Activities Exploring the unknown. Meeting new life and new civilizations. Pretending to rock back and forth violently. The occasional war.
Pros
- Humanity more advanced. No racism, prejudice, wars on Earth, poverty, hunger, etc. Pretty cool!
- Get to fly around space on physics defying spaceships.
- Food literally appears out of thin air!
Cons
- Just because there's no war on earth doesn't mean the Klingons or Borg or Dominion are going to abide by your peace on earth treaty.
- Whenever your ships are attacked, the first things to go are always the holodeck safeties, and it always has to happen right when you're in it doing your skydiving without a parachute program.
- Have to occasionally listen to Ferengi repeat the same tired rants about why profit is good, and women shouldn't wear clothing.

Star Wars Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Flying around in spaceships. Drinking in the least boring bars. Going into town to pick up some power converters. Learning the ways of the force. Pretending pure gibberish is an actual spoken language. Abusing droids. The occasional war.
Pros
- Lightsabers!
- Light sabers!
- That cool effect where the stars streak before going into light speed!
- Double bladed light sabers!
Cons
- Uncle Owen frequently blocking your attempts to go into town to pick up some power converters.
- Emotionless Jedis can be just plain boring to hang around with.
- Frequent abuse of the droids.
- Only Jedis and sith lords actually get to weild light sabers.
- Occasional rise to power of evil sith lords.

Middle Earth[/i]
Common Activities - Walking. Stealing crops. Fighting dragons. Walking some more. Repeating breakfast. Pretending not to be interested in shiny pieces of jewellry. The occasional war.
Pros
- Wizards.
- Aren't the mines of moria just so cool?!
- Hobbiton! A land where laziness and the absence of ambition is actually encouraged!
Cons
- Once the ring is destroyed, all the wizards and elves just dissapear...and to think Frodo didn't even want to destroy the ring.
- Everyone trying to get their hands on your precious jewellry.
- Really...nothing much happens after the war of the ring.
- All the walking...the walking...the WALKING

Serenity/Firefly[/i]
Common Activities - Flying around. Stealing cargo. Cursing in oriental languages. Running from the Alliance. Pretending you're in a John Ford movie. The occasional war.
Pros
- Get to say lots of snappy dialog.
- No sound in space. The universe is actually remotely possible.
- River Tam.
Cons
- Reavers are not as fun and satisfying to run away from as the Alliance.
- You're in a Whedon show so you live under the constant fear you could be killed at any moment in a completely meaningless manner.
- The Alliance keeps experimenting on all the smart children.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel[/i]
Common Activities - Fighting vampires. Fighting the forces of evil. Singing. Being chosen. Reading books. The occasional war.
Pros
- Even wittier dialog then Firefly!
- Just because you're now 18 and always wanted a sister but never had one doesn't mean you're out of luck!
- Easy to find a vampire to beat up whenever severely stressed.
Cons
- Big bads cropping up on an annual basis.
- Martial arts classes seem so excessive and drawn out when vampires learn those same moves within minutes of being sired.
- Reality occasionally is being re-written.

The Matrix Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Walking on walls. Freeing people's minds. Eating delicious steaks that don't exist. Sounding really smart by dispensing philosophy no one understands. Looking for the one. The occasional war.
Pros
- Martial arts classes are entirely unnecessary! Look mah, I learned all this off a floppy disc!
- The construct programs. Honestly, why would anyone ever unplug from these?
- Fancy clothes.
Cons
- You always have this sneaking suspicion that everybody's just faking their philosophical B.S.
- Need to be freed to get those fancy clothes.
- Really hard to get noticed by those in the 'real world' unless you A) carry the signs of oneness or B) have a really cool and simple internet alias.

The Marvel Comics Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Saving the world. Designing brightly coloured uniforms. The occasional war.
Pros
- Super powers!
- X-Men!
- Spiderman!
- No matter how many superheros there are, there is still always someone to fight.
- Death really isn't that permanent. (Phew!)
Cons
- Dying still sucks though.
- If you're one of those many without a power, you kind of feel left our and cheated.
- Superheros tend to encourage supervillians to be even more trecherous and endangering of people's lives.

The DC Comics Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Pretty much the exact same thing as the Marvel universe!
Pros
- Batman!
Cons
- Superman...honestly, can he do everything?
- Superman frequently hitting on your girlfriend, even wife.
- Too many reboots. Reality seems to change more often then the 'facts' in an Orwellian dictatorship.

The Alien Movies Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Flying in spaceships. Running from aliens. Trying to capture aliens for bio-weapons divisions. Running from aliens again. Sleeping. The occasional war.
Pros
- Space marines do exist!
- Cats allowed on spaceships.
Cons
- Aliens always killing you.
- Can never successfully get your hands on one of those aliens for your bio-weapons division.
- Even the toughest space marines turn out to be sheer cowards when actually faced with a tough situation. How dissapointing.

Narnia[/i]
Common Activities - Talking to animals. The occasional war.
Pros
- Get to be King or Queen just for being human!
- Talking animals!
Cons
- Getting turned into stone.
- d**n wardrobes keep closing off whenever you exit.
- Everyone always acting like Aslan is Jesus.

King Kong Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Running from apes. Capturing apes. Taking pictures of apes and then running from them. The occasional war...against apes.
Pros
- Uhm...the apes?
Cons
- Why do people have to be so mean towards the apes?
- Being sacrificed to the apes.

View Askew Universe (Of Jay and Silent Bob fame)[/i]
Common Activities - Smoking weed. Talking about comic books. Travelling to Hollywood to stop films being made about you. The occasional holy war.
Pros
- Lots of people who look like Ben Afflick roam the streets.
- God loves skeeball.
- Mooby's fast food joints have uncensored internet consoles in every restaurant.
Cons
- Always confusing regular people as Ben Afflick.
- d**n f*ckers in Hollywood keep making movies about you, and allowing punk ass kids to write stupid sh!t about you on the internet.

The X-Files Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Looking for the truth. Being given half-assed answers that sound like the truth but really aren't. Arguing over the existence of aliens. Wishing the aliens would hurry up and declare war already.
Pros
- Aliens and monsters and every which thing exist.
Cons
- Really not sure what to do with your life once you've discovered the truth.

And finally...

Snakes on a Plane Universe[/i]
Common Activities - Flying on planes. Shooting at snakes. Wishing snakes were off the plane. The occasional war...against snakes on a plane.
Pros
- Sharing a plane with Samuel L. Jackson.
Cons
- Have to put up with those annoying snakes on the motherf*cking plane.
- This is really the most exciting and only memorable thing to happen to you in your life.

It's so hard to choose! Can I pick more than one? Pleeeeaaase?

[MikeOMG!]

I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!!!

[rebecca]

right so besides the fact that I could only pick one of the many worlds listed, which kinda sucks because who wouldn't want to live in Middle Narnia, slaying vampires and motherf**king snakes with The Force, while wearing some kick ass Neo shades (and jacket), whilst avoiding the attentions of massively oversized apes and aliens? Come on people, it's a dreamland!

On that note, I believe in the infinite multi-verse theory. So theoretically, what I just wrote above does exist.

[lizak]

I'd have to say the Matrix universe. I mean, one might say "Well, machines are harvesting your body for energy", but if you think about it in exchange we're given a world where we can do anything we want with the power of our mind alone (until we decide to break down the entire infrastructure of pseudosociety, which is something I wouldn't want to do anyways).

And even if we did "get out" of the matrix, at least we'd have mech-like objects we could run around in, and very funky spaceships. Although the food sounds like nothing amazing. (Tasty wheat?)
