Hi there. I'm making a movie, and I need your help:
Not only did he write about space, he also ended on a cliffhanger and never made a sequel. He was truly way ahead of his time.
I can't believe the first Sci-Fi in recorded history has puppycorns and moon femboys. Truly, the genre peaked before it ever really began
MF invented SciFi, satire, shitposting, mpreg and unresolved cliffhangers all in one book. Legend.
"There are no women on the moon" is hands down my favorite random detail. 2,000 year old mpreg is hilarious to me somehow.
"There are no women on the moon"
The fact everyone speaks greek feels like the "you speak the universal language, english" joke before its time (aka isolated aliens from distant space that, even upon first meeting mankind, are nontheless already fluent in English for some reason).
Sounds like Lucian would have loved hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
It's amazing to know that sequel baiting has been a thing since ancient times.
OH. MY. GOD. This is has Monty Python written all over it! How has it never been turned into a movie?! I guarantee 80% of the satire is still relevant nowadays!!
Not gonna lie, I unironically loved that. Adding Lucian to my list of "people, alive or dead, I'd like to have dinner with" immediately
"There are no women on the moon."
Big fan of having an unimagineably large battle with millions dying only for the kings afterwards to decide "yknow we could also just be friends".
"I confidently pronounce that truthfully, I lie" That was cleaver
My man had me flabbergasted when instead of ending the story when the characters got back to earth from the moon he hit us with "and this is where they get swallowed by a whale!"
“Lucian finds his lamp and asks him how his family is doing back home.” Can’t believe he also mocked Dante 12 centuries in advance.
dang its been over a thousand years and this mans jokes are still landing. legend
i love this so much, he starts it out by saying “this is a bit, im doing a bit” and proceeds to write the weirdest story ever, and knowing the kind of shit people would spew about foreign lands way back then, it’s absolutely hilarious
I unironically want a film of this
I love how it sounds like the scholar is so miffed. Like he was really into it and was upset about being left on a cliffhanger.
