    Why is “it’s realistic” the line your drawing on a space colonization movie?

    Your entire premise of “the natives are out gunned” is dripping with white colonization. Why are they always out gunned? Why not show them capable and holding their own and are helped out by “insiders”.

    Its a fantasy story, and there’s tons of ways to do it without relying on the racist “natives are primitives” narrative.

      There have to be some kind of rules or else there’s no tension. It must be realistic within the rules of the story.
