In my opinion, accessing optimism without couching it ironically in retro-futurism would be really powerful. Playing with genre tropes such that you get optimistic sci-fi that subverts previous stories of similar optimism, not in the optimism but the inevitable imperialism and manifest destiny.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those…

I don't think this was emphasized enough:

There is no star-recommend button in the world powerful enough to show how in agreement I am with this comment, so I am crafting this paragraph instead. Because, yes, it cannot be said enough:

Jim Shooter wrote a film treatment, in which KISS fights the Village People, Rodney Dangerfield plays four separate characters, and fire-clad warriors ride into battle on unicorns. At one point, Dazzler, the Avengers and Spider-Man travel forward in time to a dystopian New York, where Cher and Donna Summer are rival…

Hey, phrenology is a wholly respectable field of expertise, provided your end-goal is to design a better hat. It was when people tried to conflate it with neuroscience and point to it as evidence of European superiority that it ran into problems of legitimacy.
