This week's theme is Retro Sci-Fi!
Specifically any science fiction from the 40's - 60's. It's all about clunky robots, giant computers with dials, ray guns, and all the other old cheesy sci-fi tropes you can think of :)
There's a bonus point if the image matches the media of that era, for example by including cheap effects, obvious costumes, blurry film or anything else you can think of.
Prompt for post image:
a 50s cinemascope movie still of a clunky robot with an blinking lights on it's chest, in a fake looking space ship, a pilot is flying the ship, scene is shot with 8mm film --ar 16:9 --v 6.0 The image turned out better than how I intended :)

I tried oh-so hard to get it with text, but I haven't secured a contract with that particular demon yet... curses Midjourney

I added my own quick title just for fun afterwards
That looks really good! Too bad about the title, but I can definitely relate. I've been too often in the situation where the image is perfect but the text is wrong, or the other way around.
Best you can do is to increase the stylize for a higher chance at an accurate text, but then you'll lose out on the style you're trying to emulate.
I think you made the right choice with adding it in by hand :)
Again, too bad about the text. Still, I really like the style of your image. It's very refined.
Next time just add the text in by hand, I'm pretty sure some light post-processing is allowed. Especially if you are honest with it up front.
