I really can't see where this is coming from. No line in the Trailer of the Captain going "I'm a latino black asain attack helicopter woman tranny", 90% of the crew are mayo....wow star trek fans are retarded.
Star Trek fans care more about what the ship looks like, or what color the uniforms are. They were extracting political situations from sound effects used in a teaser trailer. They're still fantastically retarded, but in their own very special way.
The biggest travesty, is that instead of going forward, and setting this in a post TNG universe, we are going backwards again to pre kirk. Enterprise Sucked and so will this.
Word, they were planing on setting one entire season of Enterprise in the mirror universe with Shatner reappearing as an evil Kirk...would have been boss as fuck.
There's a lot of potential in a pre-TOS series. There are documented wars with the Klingons and Romulans, and that alone is a potential goldmine of material.
Enterprise was badly written, focused on all the wrong stuff, had AWFUL AWFUL characters whom almost everyone hated to watch, and was too high-tech - "Phase pistols?" Fuck off.
3 people on twitter now speak for the entire Trekkie fandom? And an outrage? Mmmmokay. Thanks WaPost. I especially liked the counter quote by TrumpIsAnAssClown. They all seem like really credible sources.
I remember when articles didn't include twitter quotes from fucking nobodies whose opinions mean jack shit.
The overwhelming reaction to Discovery is negative, so all you gotta do is find a handful of twitter trolls, and claim they represent all the people who dislike Discovery.
Pretty much. It's almost like these dumb PR chucklefucks wanna court controversy because they know their show/movie is balls and causing a media storm of 'racism! sexism!' means they can reflect actual criticism.
Media advertisement has essentially boiled down to lazily making sequels of franchises with an autistic following, finding evidence of autistic screeching, converting more people into autistic screeching, cash cheque as everyone realizes how little effect this movie/show/game/sex toy has on your life.
Michelle Yeoh totally has the presence to be a good Captain. The writing will make or break that concept.
Star Trek has ALWAYS been about 'progressive' politics. TOS had mixed casting and courted controversy. TNG had episodes about Gender roles, Females in 'physical' positions. DS9 had black characters in command roles, and explored atheism and religious conflict. VOY had a female captain, a native American character, etc!
Roddenberry was an idealist, still shaped by his time and attitudes of his day. He was as progressive as you could hope for in his time in history. To suggest that Star Trek is a 'alpha male ass kicking action show,' is to entirely miss the point of Gene's vision.
To be clear: It wasn't just that TOS had a mixed cast - it was that it had a mixed cast and it went completely unmentioned. Like, it was just 100% normal for all involved. There was no moment where Kirk was all like, "Oh my, a BLACK communicatons officer?" She just was there, doing her job.
Nowadays? I'm not sure I trust anyone to do that.
Also, Chakotay is a horrible example of anything, given that his entire character was based on made-up gobbledeygook by exposed fraud Jamake Highwater.
It's less the people making the films who do that than the people obsessing about it in the audience. It's a chance to politicize something new and stupid. Like it's hard to believe a female, or a black female would be rare in rising to the rank of captain on a globalist and socialist galaxy like that of the star trek.
People seem real quick to blame the film or the writers or whoever, when no one but extremist fuckpurses would give a fuck if it wasn't for people making it into a political issue. "Oh, black panther has such a diverse cast with so many black people." Shit takes place in africa! Would we fucking care if it wasn't for the narrowminded pointing it out and crying "See! See! It's a conspiracy!" "How could they make Tilda Swinton the Ancient One? Don't they know the ancient one is Asian!? Racist!" Didn't they catch on that the ancient one was also a man? And a character that barely appeared in anything marvel did? No one cares until the dickwaffled cuntfaces start carving up which group is pushing their agenda and should be championed and which one is not and needs to be ostracized.
You know what agenda Star Trek pushes? Making money from fucking nerds agenda. That's all it is. So racist nerds are gonna get fucking riled up about whatever fucking person is cast.
In all fairness, having a black, female captain today is a lot more political than having a black and/or female captain ten-twenty years ago.
That's the fault of SJW, who turned what had been a growing climate of tolerance and acceptance into a holy crusade, causing a lot of people to reject multi-racialism out of spite over the abuse they feel they've suffered, and not even out of genuine racism.
Back then, I'd see a black captain and see a black captain. Now, I don't see a black captain. I see a declaration: This show will be SJW crap, it will browbeat, it will scream 'RACIST!!!' at the top of the lungs, it will not be remotely subtle or well written. It will be overly political shit.
That's the difference between now and twenty years ago.

I really want them to set a series in the mirror universe, where the Federation is evil and Dax and Kira are hot lesbians.
n/a cochnbahls 2017-06-23
That would actually be a more intriguing steering than this boring one. That trailer looks terrible

Was Archer still a petulant preachy twat in the mirror universe?
n/a MagicGainbow 2017-06-23
Nope, he was a bitter second in command that hated Vulcans and snapped when he found out how successful his main universe self was and would become.

Give them a break. It's not like there's any real news they can cover.

Chakotay was pretty cool, got shit done, pretty much carried the crew despite janeway's constant failings.

What's with the Klingons...?
I really don't give a fuck about all this mayocide shit, I just want my Klingons to look like John Colicos in a Fu-Manchu mustache.

The best explanation for that

To be fair Janeway was a terrible captain
n/a DaxInvader 2017-06-23
Really? A part from Neelix I loved Voyager. I really like Janeway. Why is she a terrible captain?
n/a KingNothing305 2017-06-23
She's done a bunch of stupid shit not limited to helping the Borg. She was written so fucking bad.
n/a DaxInvader 2017-06-23
Uh, she was a really string captain imo did she help the borgo to save her crew? That was the case with the bio things
n/a KingNothing305 2017-06-23
When she helped the Borg they killed an entire species and all she said was sorry.
