Every day I click into this thread, I think I've heard it all on Axanar, but each day here I'm stunned again.

Spock! It MUST BE (decisive hand chops) the preserVAtion of the (boom-boom-boom-bim-booooom) TYM-pani and (furrowed brow and single hand raised to sky with fingers together) trumpets and... (pinched fingers held out and intense squint into the captured thought in those fingers) STRINGS which makes it [lunch break] that wherever (sweeping gesture) we have gone, no... words... have SAID this thing of importance in quite... (wildly emoted, body swaying, eyes pleading) this... ... (holds up locked script and stares two feet above and to side of camera) way!
Well, pretty much because one man told Axafans to think that way. This man is after all, according to some, the Trek Messiah, Great Bird Reborn, the Heir to Roddenberry, the Keeper of the Faith. Who is this great man?
Alec Fucking Peters. That’s who.
Me? I call him dumbass. *shrugs*

No it's not. Garth and the Ares are the point of the story -- too the point that everything else (including all the other Captains in Ares Class ships) are virtual window dressing. Read the leaked script. It's a lot of exposition and Garth sailing through most major events with no real danger of loosing.
At the start the Kilingons state the war is in its final stages and they will soon be going directly for Earth to end it. Then after the ONE battle at Axanar, the Klingons just basically agree to basically take their ships an go home...war over...
(All thanks to Garth, some shuttles and a Tractor Bean towed in (by OTHER Shuttles) NCC 1701.
Check out the size of the Klingon ship, it is nearly the same as the Vengeance.
That crashing klingon ship is so badly rendered it's pathetic. It looks beyond fake.

That is not the Prelude I have seen.
Thats the Axanar feature script. It's Garthwank. The hero is never wrong, never makes a mistake and all the other characters (human and Klingon) exist only to praise him.
The Federation need the Constitiution-class to take on the new D7's? Why, because Garth does it by himself with the Ares and he wins.

I remember Tobias Richter from my Amiga 500 days and his Star trek and Oil Imperium games, and i see he is still creating some cracking stuff.Time to wheel this old thing back out...
Tobias Richter impressively recreates scenes from Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness for $5,000.
I wasn't talking Prelude - I was talking the actual AXANAR feature script here which is what most supporters still think would be better than Discovery. Prelude (sans credits) is also only 18 minutes long. There have been a couple of 40 minute plus ST: D episodes that put the Fed/Klingon War depiction at the forefront as well,
My reply was to a post talking about Prelude. Not some unfilmed script. Which Disco episode dealt with the war as the center of the story?
Uh, pretty much all of them so far.
Axanar excises pesky annoyances like "character development" and allows the space battles to take centre stage.
Don't have to worry about pesky gay, transgender, or non-Christian characters that way.
Which works for the documentary style.
IIRC the actual feature wasn't going to be documentary style. That was only the plan for Prelude.
Doesn't affect Prelude.
I just enjoy Star Trek inspired fan films. Some I enjoy more for the intent than the finished product but that's someones vision and far be it for me to put one's inspiration above or below my own. We can debate all year about Prelude or the intent of it's creation but the underlying fact of this matter is one simply doesn't make up for the other and the hater card was dropped on the table. That's not diversity as we know it.
