Line 13:
The [[Mad Scientist Laboratory]] and [[Shiny-Looking Spaceships|Spaceship]] are among the most commonly used locations in a Raygun Gothic setting. The most commonly used monsters tend to be [[Nuclear Nasty|nuclear mutants]] and [[Alien Tropes|aliens in general]].
 
The only thing that could possibly look more futuristic is [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]. See also [[Zeerust]], [[Weird Science]], and [[Retro Rocket]]. Contrast with [[Diesel PunkDieselpunk]], [[Used Future]], and [[Everything Is an iPod In The Future]].
 
 
Line 51:
* ''[[Zathura]]'' takes place in more or less present day, but the magical board game of the same name is most definitely Raygun Gothic.
* ''[[Forbidden Planet]]''.
* ''[[Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow]]'' is a funny corner case. It's set in an alternate-universe version of the 1930's, so it's often cited as an example of [[Diesel PunkDieselpunk]], but the aesthetics and optimistic worldview are much closer to Raygun Gothic.
* The villains in ''J-Men Forever'' are all about this, especially the Lightning Bug baby!
 
Line 120:
== New Media and Web ==
* [http://thrilling-tales.webomator.com/ Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual], a Raygun Gothic interactive web project.
* The hero of [[Syfy]]'s online [[Diesel PunkDieselpunk]] series ''[[The Mercury Men]]'', Jack [[Danger Deadpan|Yaeger]], is dressed as a typical Raygun Gothic pilot: Bomber jacket, flight cap and goggles, jodpurs and jackboots and carrying a raygun.
