What is the trope? The trope is that I noticed that some science fiction is negative against itself, like saying this is a"sad story"
as opposed to "science being bad" which happens in non-science fiction all the time.
Some science fiction is positive against itself, like it's saying this fun!

I just feel.. that there is no science fiction at all, not on TV nor in the theatres
but in Japan there is science fiction all the time becouse of anime and manga.
I see plently of science fiction "book" but most seem to be influenced by fantasy
or religion, very few of the books seems to be "just" science fiction.

Dragons of Pernof is really science fantasy like He-Man or Warhammer 40k.
Mixed science fantasy examples are dangerous, Starwars is technicaly this but
I feel Starwars is more soft science fiction than science fantasy, is only in aesthetic terms.
What I miss is science fiction without magic, without space creationism/space religion or
science fiction that is actually satisfied with being science fiction 
not some reconstruction of science fiction into another genre or psychological symbolism.
For example I did like Solaris, but too me it was anti-space movie, the film was entertaining
but the message was a "you should not like spaceships".
It was attempted deconstruction making science fiction into sociology,usually sociology have no place in science fiction.
Look at Prometheus... alien is soiled now!
Starwars and Doctor Who are remnants of an older SF-friendlier time.
Since when did any of those modern writers pass into film?

Watsonian Versus Doylist, isn't really about Watson and Doyle.
I just wanted a personalized name for the trope.
It's not exactly country of Origin, but Japan is for me the paradise of technophilia.
How about Hollywood SF Versus Japanese SF?
