What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.

I’d like to read something different where we’re the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender’s Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.

Do you have any recommendations?

    If memory serves, wasn’t it explained that Sabacians were humans with slightly altered DNA? They were altered to be more aggressive and more warrior like? I thought I remember hearing that during my 5rh rewatch. Or was it my 6th or 7th?

      Yes, I think you are right. What kills me is that with modern day effects it would be much easier to create a show like this again. It was wild with its creativity in a way that is rare today.

        We need more Henson Studios Sci-Fi collabs. The 2019 Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series subtly combined the Muppet work with touches of CG that gave a really cool combined effect. Like, you’re watching this creature, and then it seems more real than you expected. It would be great to see more of this, a la Farscape or new IP.
