partly true. while jj abrams would be gen x. and so would most of the string pullers and producers, the physical making of the shows are millenials. much of what you see is millenial's work, most of the writing is millenial and gen x females. one of the shows boasted that it had no male writers. the higher ups are boomers and whatever generation came before that which are still in the game and refuse to let go. for multiple reasons.
I'm over the breakdowns of Hollywood bullshit, and I never liked capeshit in the first place (though I did like Star Trek), but Dave Cullen has two channels on youtube that do good breakdowns of these things if you want to torture yourself:
I would like to think they tried to change our tastes by altering established franchises in the Hope's we would be swayed. That way when they fail, it hurts them.
The more probable answer is that they purposely destroyed those franchises just to take something away that is widely loved.
they destroyed star wars on purpose yes. that was their first priority with the franchise. making something decent to watch for the new "fans" was a minor note. and with the star treks it was a slow sinking pit. in this new trek series they seem to be killing off all the male leads that could further a story that would be connected to the TNG era including picard himself. watching youtubers who make a living off of talking about lore from tv and film they seem annoyed if not irate
Hey Nerds, sorry the scifi fantasy worlds have all been ruined, that studios abandoned canon to make a few bucks. There is one series that is still pretty good, it's called Mien Kampf, give it a read sometime!
i heard they were revamping their lines to include women or minority figures. besides citadel sold out because look at all the crap video games with a license now
i would encourage that i see fuck all wrong with printing your own models, i do however have a problem with fuckin knife eared scumfucks :^) fuck yer eldar pal dark angels ftw, alpha legion for chaos and orks for xenos lol
oh i understand i just have a dislike for them, its personal opinion that the fuckers should die off. don't get me wrong i don't mind eldar players or fans but the eldar themselves are scum, and whats the internet for if not for bitching at other peoples opinions :^)
It's impossible to make a decent tale of science-fiction heroism in this day and age simply because the definition of heroism has been corrupted beyond recognition. Heroes used to stand for morality and decency whereas villains were always purely diabolical even if an audience could sometimes sympathize with their reasoning. Now, the whole thing is backwards. A large fraction of our society believes that it is decent and moral to punch your enemies for simply speaking their minds and stand for self-mutilation and a "religion" which seeks to enslave the fairer sex. How the heck do you make a decent science-fiction story of heroism which includes what is clearly pure evil as decent?
-We're "heroes" if we do things that weaken / destroy ourselves and our own future.
-We're antisemitic, racist "nazis" if we do things that (they) don't like: exposing the truth about our reality or wanting to raise our children with dignity and good character.
This is the non-stop message that is being pushed by (them) through corporate media of all forms.
It doesn't bother me that Star Wars and Star Trek suck now. I just don't watch them, but I do wish there was more new stuff to watch and read that wasn't complete garbage propaganda.
Thank god I still have the original three movies on laserdisc untouched by all the Lucas “improvements” and it says Star Wars, not Chapter IV: A New Hope.
I have not watched picard yet. Tell me it is not like startrek diversity. I so want to watch a startrek without white man bad. Space nigger or whore saves the day
Haven't seen Picard but has everyone forgotten The Next Generation? The show was already SJW nonsense even when it wasn't cool. Make officers wearing skirts, and Riker falling in love with a gender fluid alien. Don't even get me started on how commie the whole thing was. The Fernengie were supposed to parody Americans for Pete's sake.
The frengie were space jews. They were money grubbing assholes that would stab their mother for a gold pressed latinum. They schemed against everyone and were un trustworthy. The rules of accusition Was the talmud. And their huge ears was the space version of a jew horn
They have power armor and boltguns, sure, but not much else in common with space marines.
I'm talking some full-on cuck-out retcon like "oh shit, we found the legendary 21st primarch! Her name is Cuntius Maximus and she leads an entire legion of strong, independent space marines who don't need no man!"
And then they'll make Cuntius the Emperor's mother, and her entire legion will be Primaris marines but with an improved statline and they all have plasma weapons that never overheat.
I'm obviously exaggerating, but watch: they'll hire some purple-haired gender studies non-binary woman who "just loves the game so much and all the established lore" and then will bitch about equality until she gets her canon female space marines.
whats annoying for me is that there is still no recognition at disney ,that what they did to Star Wars was plain wrong. Even with falling DVD sales &falling toy sales, disney corporation refuses to accept they crapped all over a beloved childhood series.
and to all the idiots who paid money to see ROS; what were you thinking?!
there is a bit. someone is talking over for kathleen kennedy but its all too late now. unless you plan to remake star wars 789 your napalmed your fan base
They took it over to ruin it. That's how social justice marxists operate. They think they can brainwash using things that people already like and don't care if they destroy it in the process. They want want to show you how it "should be" (in their minds). Of course none of it ever ends up making any sense and only a few mentally ill retards or brainwashed echo chamber victims end up liking it.
and to all the idiots who paid money to see ROS; what were you thinking?!

The stuff is probably just doing poorly among whites but is still successful enough with regard to the nu-human audience. Since they’re actively working on eradicating whites it wouldn’t make sense for them to invest in media that appeals to whites

Wait... Amazon is doing another LOTR?? Oh I get it. There wasn’t a strong female lead in the last version, so they’re going follow the current trend of rewriting it to make it more “progressive.”
looking at the story art during the credits and then looking at what they produced this is truly what the current employees are capable of. this is your diversity and female hiring process. this is what lesbians are capable of. hyper simplified scenes that look like a parody of previous works that share the title.
Comforting yourself that one particular piece of propaganda is "not that bad" is like being thankful that on weekends, your slaveholder isnt raping you that hard.
Having read through your comments I see you have a valid and nuanced point. However, the Grimms, at the urging of Herder, did indeed consciously seed a culture using stories, many of which were not true folklore but adaptations of Perrault et al. Stories help define a culture. And it is incredibly reductive to dismiss the investment of energy in fan fiction, Klingon grammar, and other universe building that has gone on with Star Trek as ‘one-way entertainment’. Star Wars had similarly been built out by the fandom and think of the accumulation of European art music embodies by its soundtrack alone.
And if we can’t blame his ethnicity, surely Brian Herbert was taking revenge for his father’s healthy homophobia by covering the Dune canon in such a spew of slig filth that the culture-building work there has been well-disguised to future generations.
No. Your culture is the courtesies shared by most. It's how you deal with hierarchy and the poor and the rich. It's how you treat animals among many other things. It isn't commercial entertainment or the countless hours spent sitting at it.
There's so many people that have been affected by that really stupid brainwash of "you have no culture" that they aren't able to identify a culture. They may be accidentally half right because when you are sitting alone in your room staring at a screen, you momentarily have no culture, because you are not experiencing your culture at that time. You are experiencing a one dimensional and very shallow, vague, partial, commercial representation of a culture.
I don't know of we even disagree. Watching TV is not the totality of American culture, but it is part of it. And culture dies slowly. The great art and literature of our past is still part of our culture today, but it's becoming less and less so for a variety of reasons.
Our literature is not going away. It will never go away. It goes through dips and valleys of popularity as Christianity has for two thousand years. We aren't progressing. There's no goal to the end We're just in our own time that's all.
Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities and habits of the individuals in these groups.
That’s the same argument that jews use when they want to claim that degenerate marks on a canvas constitute art. “Everything can be considered art” - except it can’t. Also, how can this ‘culture’ be a way of life? If anything it’s a way of slavery, stagnation, degeneration, and death.
i dont know if youve lived under a rock the last 40 years but the original star wars has been one of the biggest cultural phenomenons thats came from film
Sci-fi, syfy, whatever they’re calling themselves now has a habit of killing shows just as they start gaining traction. Just like Firefly. I actually liked Caprica too.
That one confused me. The cylons were made long ago (decades), except in Caprica we were told they were invented "last week... By this guy... Who is a friend of the suddenly mafia Adama family." That is some JJ Abrams/I didn't actually think this through-level shit.
I haven't seen it nor do I desire to, but in rewatching TNG I notice a lot of primordial SJW stuff. Like the episode where the kid believes he's an android as a coping mechanism for his parents' death, and Troi, instead of being like, "Well, maybe we should remind him that he's human and that's okay. You know, before he hurts himself by doing something like trying to work in hard vacuum because 'androids don't need to breath.'" She goes with "Well, it's his identity, we gotta roll with it. Maybe he'll snap out of it."
Naturally nothing bad happens to the kid, but the whole "we need to indulge his delusion" was certainly strong in the episode.
Anyway out of curiosity, what are some of the bad parts of Picard?
Hammer on that nail. It's always bothered me where that seed of playing into their dellusion was planted, but God damn that fucking android kid might be patient zero..
A kid from college I used to trade warez with on floppies, it was super early 90s and out grade Z school had no dorm networks) loved that episode.
I think his dad died or someone, and he went full android. Cringe as fuck. I started buying software after that.
Jeri Ryan's reformed Borg drone was introduced to Star Trek: Voyager with a lot of fan hope and speculation that she would be gay, but that never panned out. However, with Seven of Nine's appearance in Star Trek: Picard, the showrunners are finally giving fans what they've long waited for!
It has kind of a sadistic violence in it that is unsettling. A head gets chopped off, an eye gouged out, but in really really gory detail, like the Saw horror-porn series of movies. It sort of gleefully centers itself on the violence, in a really creepy way. Seven of Nine kills Icheb, one of Voyager's most young and vulnerable characters, and it was just brutal and heartbreaking and totally pointless. Another man down.
But Hugh, the Borg is back...and...of course he dies. Another man down.
Riker has a son...but he died.....
There's a riff on Game of Thrones with gross brother/sister incesty action...Think low-rent actors doing Cerci Lannister etc.
There's a fucking elf. An elf that follows Picard around with a sword when everyone's shooting lasers. It's so fucking beyond terrible.
But for levity, there is swearing (fuck), and everyone treats Picard poorly so that's funny right? Picard is kind of a doddering old man, who in pure cringe is called "JL".
There is no real story arc, it kind of meanders along this way and that way and you never get the sense anyone created a full backstory for this series
There is nothing to like about this show. It's dead inside, like the writers, and it offers nothing but hopelessness.
Yeah. The 1st game looks dated now. I haven't played the second in awhile but despite being clunky I'd play it once or twice just for the RPG aspects. There's a decent number of mods for the combat in the 3rd you could try, but it's fine without them IMO. It's not like Skyrim or something where the story sucks and you need better combat mechanics or it's not a very fun game.
Didn't your brain just explode when the elf appears? You're like....what...the...fcuk.....an ELF? An ELF in Star Trek land? What...what...DOES NOT COMPUTE ERROR EORRO
Well god damn that review is so good and the show sounds so bad that now I kind of want to see it out of morbid curiosity. Before I was like, "Meh, can't be that bad, just sounds boring and an unnecessary revamp of a dead franchise." But you make it sound like a gruesome train wreck that I just gotta have a peek at.
Then again I've seen enough TV train wrecks in this day and age so my motivation may falter.

He makes some very good observations about the Picard series.

Hammer on that nail. It's always bothered me where that seed of playing into their dellusion was planted, but God damn that fucking android kid might be patient zero..
A kid from college I used to trade warez with on floppies, it was super early 90s and out grade Z school had no dorm networks) loved that episode.
I think his dad died or someone, and he went full android. Cringe as fuck. I started buying software after that.

The romulans destroyed Mars and false flagged the androids.

At they stunning and brave?

Yes. I didn't know this but apparently 7 of 9 is gay.

Like who was hoping she would be gay? Seriously.

What's with all the gay eyepatches?
toobaditworks ago
Probably some Illuminati thing.

I guess those 'shipper' people...? I don't know other than they cater to sex weirdos, they don't care about the 99.9% of us normal people.

It has kind of a sadistic violence in it that is unsettling. A head gets chopped off, an eye gouged out, but in really really gory detail, like the Saw horror-porn series of movies. It sort of gleefully centers itself on the violence, in a really creepy way. Seven of Nine kills Icheb, one of Voyager's most young and vulnerable characters, and it was just brutal and heartbreaking and totally pointless. Another man down.
But Hugh, the Borg is back...and...of course he dies. Another man down.
Riker has a son...but he died.....
There's a riff on Game of Thrones with gross brother/sister incesty action...Think low-rent actors doing Cerci Lannister etc.
There's a fucking elf. An elf that follows Picard around with a sword when everyone's shooting lasers. It's so fucking beyond terrible.
But for levity, there is swearing (fuck), and everyone treats Picard poorly so that's funny right? Picard is kind of a doddering old man, who in pure cringe is called "JL".
There is no real story arc, it kind of meanders along this way and that way and you never get the sense anyone created a full backstory for this series
There is nothing to like about this show. It's dead inside, like the writers, and it offers nothing but hopelessness.

It sounds almost and fucking terrible as I assumed it would be. Why do you even watch this shit?
Sheitstrom ago
I really hoped it would be something different. Talk about a glutton for punishment.

Give us a review for the Witcher next. I couldn't take any more and gave up almost immediately on it.
Sheitstrom ago
Never played the Witcher or have seen the show...but the game is on my list of things to do. I've heard the game is great.
lanre ago
Yeah. The 1st game looks dated now. I haven't played the second in awhile but despite being clunky I'd play it once or twice just for the RPG aspects. There's a decent number of mods for the combat in the 3rd you could try, but it's fine without them IMO. It's not like Skyrim or something where the story sucks and you need better combat mechanics or it's not a very fun game.

A samurai elf to boot...
Sheitstrom ago
Didn't your brain just explode when the elf appears? You're like....what...the...fcuk.....an ELF? An ELF in Star Trek land? What...what...DOES NOT COMPUTE ERROR EORRO

I didn't watch it so no, thankfully. But I looked it up and it was pretty ridiculous.

Well god damn that review is so good and the show sounds so bad that now I kind of want to see it out of morbid curiosity. Before I was like, "Meh, can't be that bad, just sounds boring and an unnecessary revamp of a dead franchise." But you make it sound like a gruesome train wreck that I just gotta have a peek at.
Then again I've seen enough TV train wrecks in this day and age so my motivation may falter.
Sheitstrom ago
First two episodes are watchable. After that it hits the wall.

Sonic The Hedgehog was good. Also, join /v/theorville!
