TV (or any other media) Universes You Would and Wouldn’t Want to Live In
« on: October 06, 2011, 06:18:20 pm »
I recently got sent this link and figured it would make an interesting thread.

http://www.soundonsight.org/10-tv-universes-you-would-and-wouldnt-want-to-live-in/

Expanding on the topic, other media's universes can also be tossed in to add more variety. Where would you want to live in, and why?

My answers will come eventually.

Well, I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in the Berserk verse.

And living in the MLP:FiM verse would be amazing, except for the early death from diabetes.

I want to live in the West Wing universe.

More to the point, I want to be Sam Seaborn.

We all want to be Sam Seaborn.

I'd say I'd like to live in Sons of Anarchy, but I already have so that'd be a moot point.

...Does MythBusters count as a verse?  No wait, fuck that, Land of Ooo here I come.

This. In a heartbeat. On an Orbital to start with.

Those lucky dwarves, despite the risk of being stabbed, shots, poisoned, eaten, mauled, enslaved, eviscerated or involved in accidents... at least they don’t have to worry about immediate dangers like the heat death of the universe.

Gensokyo would be fairly cool to live in as long as you didn't piss off any of the locals. Regularly donating to Reimu would go a long way towards your safety.

Also, most of the Studio Ghibli worlds would be cool to live in.

Well... I guess Gensokyo, as long as I had more power than rumia, even if I was only stage 2..

Diskworld does sound nice...
Basically most worlds with magic.

Are we going into novels?

Also, I'm amazed Star Wars didn't pop up.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Throwing it out there that perhaps one of the worse ones would be the WH40K universe.

Betters ones would include the universe the Culture lives in.

I think so; the topic title and post say "other media" are welcome.

In which case, I would not like to live in the Malazan universe. Very high chance of death; if not, life stands to be either miserable or dull. At least, as far as I've read.

Feist universe would be alright.
Tolkien as well.

The Quentin Tarentino universe would at least be interesting to live in, but whether it would be enjoyable would depend on the person.

Oddly enough the Star Trek universe for fear of ending up in a red jacket.

The Zelda universe seems pretty decent. Things will be great, there will be a disaster, the hero will save everyone and everything will be great until many generations pass.

The Judge Dredd universe along with most other post apocalyptic universes would be bad ass but not ideal.
