Live Poll: Unforgettable Science Fiction Performances

@dan_dassow 

They are on the second list.

@Breumaster,

Thanks.

@Brijesh 

No animated to avoid a flood of animes.

I know Mad Max is also tagged as science fiction, but I want characters, which are strongly connoted to that. I don't get what's science fiction an that movie. It's just an apocalyptic movie, which seems to be not really fiction. There are no scientific parts on it. I think the connotation to the genre is very weak. I replenished it in the intro here on gs. I've put most of your picks on the second list.

Thank you for adding them. 🙂

I think you can remove E.T. Not sure it was really a character performance.

IMDb defines sci-fi as "Numerous scenes, and/or the entire background for the setting of the narrative, should be based on speculative scientific discoveries or developments, environmental changes, space travel, or life on other planets." 

Mad Max fall into 'environmental changes' if you still want to think about it.

Since you have got 2nd list, more FYC:

You missed characters from 12 Monkeys

Donnie from Donnie Darko

Alex from A Clockwork Orange (Soft Sci-fi)

Katniss from Hunger Games

Theodore from Her

Ava from Ex Machina

Theo from Children of Men 

Plus are you excluding superhero sci-fi? There are tons of them. 😀

@Brijesh 

Thank you, Briesh. Your point about E.T. is correct. I kicked him from the list and will add one of your characters instead. I'll also consider the characters you posted, but in the moment I got pretty little time because I got much work at the moment and also at home. But I'll do that and will post here again what and why.  Sorry for the moment.

No worries! Take your time.

@Brijesh 

Yes, you're right. I exclude superhero movie's characters, because there would be a ton of suggestions. I think it would be better to separate them to an extra poll (series).

@Brijesh 

I've put your suggestions on the list, Brijesh.

I've limited it to 2 characters per franchise now. I think it's better to concentrate on the strongest, because there are so many unforgettable character performances that none of the real unforgettable impressive ones should be lost.

@mariojacobs 

Pretty good! I'll put them on the list, ... later. :D

yul brynner - westworld

scharzenegger - total recall, predator, running man, eraser, 6th day, junior

stallone - judge dredd, demolition man

william shatner leonard nimoy - all star ttrek movies

leslie nielsen - forbidden planet

van damme - cyborg, universal soldier

dolph lundgren - universal soldier

sigoerney weaver - aliens

chuck norris - ???

steven seagal - ???

@mariojacobs 

Thank you Mario for suggesting real good characters. I would open a third list, if there are enough good characters. But some of them you suggested are on the first list yet, like Arnie in Total Recall.

@Peter_pbn 

Thank you, Peter. But it's about performances. It's formerly said to me to put each suggestion on the list, which isn't excluded by definition to discuss about afterwards. That was about two or three years ago. So I've put nearly each performance which was suggested on the two lists to discuss. Which of these performances would you cut? And why?

@Peter_pbn 

I've changed the intro's text a little and added performed by in the options to get more clear. Maybe it's better now.

I futher could change the title, if necessary - like:

Unforgettable Science Fiction Performances - Part I

Unforgettable Science Fiction Performances - Part I

I haven't asked you to remove any options.

Yes, that title would also be simpler and more correct. 

@Peter_pbn 

Yes, you haven't. But I removed some of them. With the edits in the intro, the Trekkies won't fit anymore. There is a new generation of Trekkies, which is fully accepted. But in the end the idea is defined a little better. I must admit that when I had the idea, I didn'work it out completely to have some playground for ideas. I knew it will have to be defined more accurately.

@Jessica 

Corrected.

@Peter_pbn 

Thank you, Peter. Thank you, buddies. :D

@Jessica 

Sorry my bad.

Corrected. Thank you, Jessica.

@Jessica 

Thank you, Jessica. Thank you, buddies.

It's always a pleasure. :D
