Bro I'm not accusing the show of anything. I'm reacting to what is there to react to...... the trailer. You're allowed to take the wait and see approach. I'm allowed to have feelings based upon the trailer...in the trailer thread. I'm only reacting to said trailer. When the show is out if it's great and the trailer was just bad, I'll have no problem admitting as much. Buy IMHO, this trailer doesn't scream Trek to me. It's feels like a modern Kurtzman product but we are basing this solely on a trailer and then whatever take aways we have from. Wasn't attempting to offend you so please, indulge in whatever way you please.
S3 of Picard feels like a completely different show IMO compared to s1. But I can't speak to s2 as I didn't watch it. I didn't like how earth centered it appeared and how prevalent the Q stuff was. Perhaps I'll go back and give it a shot. Buy s3 was literally the Next Gen sequel I always wanted.
With due respect, sir, you said "brilliant comedic writing." As a sarcastic comment, but that's how it came across.
Which is why trailers suck so bad. There hasn't been a trailer in the last 20 years that I can think of that goes "Oh, yup, that's Trek alright." I have no interest in the manipulations of trailers. So if something doesn't "feel right" then that's a trailer doing what it always does.
I'm 32. I can agree that trailers are manipulative in that they are made to convey specifics to an audience about a specific product. I hope this trailer isn't indicative of s2 of Strange New Worlds. I disagree that all trailers suck but I'm been watching trailers since dial up was a think and Apple trailers were my go to in a pre youtube world. I love trailers. Especially one's that make me wanna see the product!
I loved the trek 09 trailers. But just my 2 cents. I'm not a fan of Into Darkness but Beyond wasn't bad. But I agree in the sense that modern trek trailers are mostly terrible. But I also think much of Discovery and modern trek content has been terrible. So we agree on certain things look at that!
I'm 38 (since that apparently matters). I've watched trailers since going to the movies with my dad and ended up watching Chronicles of Riddick because of seeing a trailer. They do a job; that job is to manipulate the audience to watch their product. When I was 12 or 13 or even 18 that was fine. I no longer find that acceptable.
Doubtful.
Go to IMDB and see pretty much every trek related product his name is attached to this side of Picard s3 (which has been utterly fucking fantastic).
I remember fans trashing that trailer for the ship being built on ground rather in orbit. But I liked that trailer to.
with what little marketing that movie got (they even had a Rhianna song written by Sia and somehow buried it) , that awful trailer had to hurt it even worse.
I agree. And some of those trailers do an awful job of that. Some of those trailers do a great job of making you wanna see the film or show. It's subjective so it's okay that you like this trailer and I don't. We will both survive this difference I can assure you.
So...... Star Trek. It feels like Star Trek.
