==Influences and legacy== Flash Gordon provided some of the basis and codification for a variety of genres like space-fantasy, space opera and science-fantasy, not definitively like Tolkien may have with the Fantasy genre, but more as a sort of wellspring of ideas and general aesthetics now found within them. George Lucas himself wanted to do a ''Gordon'', but got rejected so put the cloud city in ''[[Star Wars|The Empire Strikes Back]]''. While the comics are remembered, the movie arguably outshone them due to the sheer over-the-top presentation, campiness and badassery that aged like fine wine, and the music score. In terms of /tg/'s interest, the movie and comics can provide some inspiration if you feel like doing some atom-punk science-fantasy space opera, for an example see Batman TBATB episode ¨Mystery in Space!¨ as something clearly inspired by Flash Gordon.
