It really WAS that bad. In the finale of lower decks they made fun of the multiverse trope and showed the klingons are actually from an alternate (cringe) dimension.
Huh
I'ma need a bigger bag for the cohort
Tryna make a millionaire out of slum dogs
Bet that, head crack, blunt force
Cozy with the east Africans up north
Where seven make a three, turn a ten by law
Crescent moon wink, when I blinked it was gone
Left the crib, smacked, no sheath on the sword
Made it by the skin of my teeth, thank God
'03, momma rockin' Liz Claiborne
Had her stressin' up the wall playin' Mary J. songs
Rainy day came, couldn't rinse the stains off
Long way to go, we already came far
Story stayed the same, it was never madе up
Threw me loose changе, look at what I made of it
When the mood change, I'ma poker-face 'em
It's a new day, who got all the aces?
Who be foldin' late? Who know when to play dead?
Who sit up straight when the roof caved in?
Had a full plate, you ain't wanna split it
Tell it to you straight, you ain't wanna listen
Cup runneth over the brim
Bust open, there's no closin' the lid
Drumroll, here go my lil' entrance
Gung ho, I'm the one that go get it
Five O's on me like the Olympics
Pure gold, somethin' told me, "Don't mix it"
Caught a feelin', momma had me out Temple
Not religious, we was really out Philly
Livin' on the fly tryna wing it
We got us a fire to rekindle
Redirect the fight where it's meant for
Triumph over plight and immense loss
Ride alone at night, I get clear thoughts
Caught a couple slights and I veered off
Saw another height, had my ears poppin'
Walked outside, it was still gorgeous
Sharp incisors reveal slowly
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
Uh, niggas still drummin'
Foot shook ground when I stepped on it
Didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
And I didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
Alright
Yessir, this nigga spittin'

Sure, but you will take TOS from my cold, dead hands. DS9 was very good, but got a little indulgent in the last season or so. TNG started poorly but managed to stand on its own two feet. VOY had the problem that nobody knew what the heck to do with it; they set up a good premise but quickly found that limiting what the ship could do meant boring stories (and the Kazon were rubbish villains). ENT was my pick for "oh my God this is awful" but then they went and did DISCO and I didn't know when I had it good.
I got so burned by DISCO that I never watched Lower Decks or Strange New Worlds, and I'm hearing good things about the latter but I'm too gunshy to give it a go. "Picard" was an aberration; a vanity project that I wish Patrick Stewart hadn't done as he's too old now for the part, and they did more re-writing of canon (what the heck is this craze for "Roddenberry's optimistic universe is too nice, we gotta grimdark it up and contradict canon to make that happen"?)

Star Wars is just a Dune ripoff.

Some people actually say this one unironically because Frank Herbert owns the concept of deserts

The idea of a messiah in/from the desert is absolutely a bit older than either.

Luke isn't remotely a messiah figure either, he's just the hero. Paul is treated as a figure of religious fixation even in the first book.

Luke is absolutely a messiah figure. The Empire isn't hunting him down purely out of ego and spite; Luke has a seemingly irreplaceable connection to the Force that threatens the dark forces. Luke wields that power in a unique role rallying and leading the Rebels.
Even the concept of balance in the Force between good and evil frames Luke as a godly, good influence confronted eternally by godly, evil forces like the Emperor, much like Jesus versus the Devil.
"Messiah" doesn't mean singular, in particular. Luke doesn't have to be the only one with special powers to be a messiah. For example, Paul in Dune (the first book) isn't the only messianic figure in the series; he arguably passes that torch to his emperor descendent, the being that actually fulfills the prophetic path that saves humanity.

Well Anakin is the fallen messiah and his love for his son and family is what brings him back. That could lead to viewing Luke as a messiah since he was necessary to Anakin destroying Palpatine, but def doesn't lead to viewing SW as a Dune rip off

Nobody looks to Luke as a spiritual or even moral leader. Nobody expects that he is going to save the galaxy. He's valued by the rebels, but not venerated. He's an action hero who has a personal spiritual journey that nobody else is really aware of.
At most you could argue that his battle with Vader and Palpatine on the Death Star II is sort of a spiritual reflection of the military battle going on outside. But again, nobody else is really aware of it.
Being a "messiah" would require some kind of social role. Paul is venerated by some people on Arrakis from the moment they land, and it only grows from there.

I really tried to give DS9 a shot but the characters are buttholes and I really couldn't give a shit if the whole ship blew up.

Strange new worlds is probably the closest thing to the original startrek vision, Gene Roddenberry would genocide the other writers and producers if he could
