      Even though it just encourages the “ancient aliens” crowd, I can thank Stargate for my love of anything that fuses Egyptian/Mayan/Aztec aesthetics and mythology with sci-fi.

      Edit: oooh, and other Native American tribes, too, like The Endless Nation in Hickman’s East of West

          That’s an interesting connection, because I’m not sure I see much similarity in the art, but there’s definitely thematic and color similarity.

          To me, Saga and Fiona Staples take the absurd and gives it a cartoony realism, but Dragotta exaggerates features to the point that it’s almost surreal (almost like crossing Dalí and Mignola)

          But both series have that Star Wars/Firefly “lived-in” universe feel that makes it obvious that there’s a lot of history behind the scenes, and they both have the “space western” vibe, too. Maybe that’s the Image style: fleshed-out world building that leaves a lot to the imagination (in a good way)

    The armor and helmet from the Mass Effect trilogy (particularly 3). Relatively simple and basic but still badass and iconic.

    “Its basically iron-man nanotech” Yet… You admitted Lost in Space came first… So Iron-Man is using Joey Tribbiani nanoarmor.

    Feel like this movie was super underrated. Everything from the major’s battlesuit to the kid’s hologram robot pilot station was awesome!

      I had a huge crush on Lacey Chaberts Penny in this movie when I was a kid. She was just a few years older than me and I was enamored. I haven’t thought about it in like 20 years now.

    I feel like a lot of stuff in Destiny and Destiny 2 should count. There are some truly wacky armors in those games, and some really badass stuff too.
