Have you considered that everything you like is just some level of sci-fantasy (an existing genre[-fusion])?

They are both under the umbrella of "speculative fiction" but they go in different directions.

Yeah, stuff like venture bros, tom strong, etc. with science heroes, next to fantasy stuff, shows how its pretty much the same stuff just different devices, science fiction explanations are as realistic as fantasy explanations for how things function, its all bs and not real science typically either way, I love hard magic where they explain it like its science and theres a deep logic to the world and how everything works. Like brandon sanderson stuff
