I am in need for stories in form of movies, shows or games where an extremely large entity or organization exists, a force not to be reckoned with. A system which you cannot defeat, which you have to outsmart and escape instead. A system whose scale cannot be comprehended.
Examples coming into my mind are:
- the Portal franchise, with the Aperture Science Lab spanning miles filled with unlimited test chambers and test objects
- the Subnautica series, with the highly advanced precursor structures and technologies
- the Star Wars franchise, with the imperials having fleets of battleships and control over multiple colonies (i am not well versed with this franchise)
- the John Wick series, with the existence of the High Table and the powers of the Continentals (tho not science fiction)
For anime there is Space Battleship Yamato 2199, Gunbuster / Diebuster, Last Exile, Psycho Pass and Aldnoah Zero. That’s all I can think of at the moment.
Nice! Going to give some of these a try as well.
