The reason paramount "doesn't get it" has more to do with modern society and the internet.
Everyone's become arrogant and egotistical and selfish and fake, with no experience, knowledge, talent, skill, or intellect to back it up.
Let's go back 60 years ago. Back then, being on TV or movies was a HUGE deal. You would almost instantly be famous. There were few channels. This pressured all the employees at these studios to create memorable, intellectual, and just great shows that people would be talking about for months and years.
This continued up until the early 2000s, where slowly quality had gone down.
With the advent of high speed internet, and a new generation of kids who didn't know life before the internet, aka, where everyone who was employed in media was FORCED to push out GREAT content, now, everyone's arrogant because their social media accounts got a few likes when they shoved their inexperienced, ignorant faces in the camera for 10 seconds to say and or do something stupid, and this only validated.to them.that their stupidity is actually their genius.
This is why everything is bad.
Ffs these kids are copying video games like mass effect and portal and trying to pass it off as an original story. Let's not forget the space mushrooms that someone ripped off for discovery. These kids are so pathetic, they don't even copy the BEST games, they copy some obscure game ONLY they like but are too ashamed to tell their few fake friends that they like it, so instead they copy the games plot line in the show they're tasked to write for.
No skill is required anymore to be employed in media. None.
And people are being pressured to get upset at the truth.
When Shatner said "Roddenberry would be turning in his grave at some of the stuff star trek puts out today", media companies started crying and everyone called him a "jerk". But I knew exactly what he meant because I understood this since day 1 episode 1 of discovery. Heck I knew this since "star trek" 2009. I bet Shatner watched parts of that movie and quickly turned it off in disgust. Meanwhile the fans who may not be critical.thinkers are easily pressured and puppeteered to accept the new trash and like it because they manipulate people psychological fear of feeling or being left out or having a target pointed at them. People desperately want to fit in, so when a billion dollar corporation pressures them to do so and has mass reach, everyone does it.
If no one here had this fear, we would all have decided long ago that new trek isnt Canon despite what paramount says, and we wouldn't care to watch the new stuff either. We would put up a list of what made trek, trek, and we'd fine none of the new shows check more than like 2% of the full list, and we would unanimously say the new stuff isn't trek.nor Canon.
But no, don't dare say anything bad, or like zombies, the ones who were pressured to defect to the dark side will send their armies of afraid people after you to pressure you to accept the new garbage or they will shun you.
I don't care. All of you people can laugh at me and hate me for all I care. Your CONFORMIST "opinions" are irrelevant to me. And I'm willing to bet at least HALF the people.here feel the same way but are just afraid to speak out fearing the onslaught of the conformists coming at them to destroy their online reputation. Anyone here who attacks fans for pointing out their dislike of new trek by trying to destroy their reputation, is a despicable shill. If you really like new trek, use arguments. But all I see is peolle going after reputations to force conformity because there is not ONE reason for anyone to like new trek
