It seems like nearly all the most beloved and most impactful science fiction properties have at least some degree of levity and whimsy. Star Trek and Star Wars are the biggest examples — despite often dealing with heavy themes, both properties balance that out with a dose of romantic adventurism and wish-fulfillment. Even this year’s Project Hail Mary leaned into the “hopecore” trend to great success, which makes sense. Sci-fi has long been a place to reflect on the human condition, and people want to believe that humanity’s future looks optimistic. The Warhammer animated series does not yet have a release date.
