Marvel is pretty soft scifi even when it doesn't have actual magic, so it's probably fine.

Just change it from "all the nukes exploded and pushed the moon into interstellar space" to "experimental warp drive exploded on launch pad", and you're set.

Hmm… just realised, the basic setup of Space 1999 is kinda what happened with Stargate Universe; I'd say the latter's problem was aping BSG with grit and drama, as there was plenty of room for silly fun scifi in all three Stargate series.



Marvel isn't sci-fi at all, it's fantasy. Or more accurately, "comic book movies". There's absolutely nothing realistic about it.


Comic book logic also applies to Space 1999. And any part of Star Trek which isn't "space is an ocean" or "soap opera".
