I remember when they first did it back in the She Hulk comics. 1988 or 89 I think. I thought it was so stupid and it took me right out of the book and I stopped buying it at that point ..
Is it time to put Star Trek to rest?

I wish they’d have the bravery to reboot it, but I don’t think that day is coming soon.
Instead we have a reboot in all but name in SNW and so there’s people getting onto it constantly about canon and other fucknuttery.
A reboot would set them free. But TPTB don’t because they are afraid of losing their audience.
Ah well. At least in my mind things can be whatever I want them to be.

But CBS says…
Yes I know. Didn't I mention it in this thread? (Or was it somewhere else?? ..
)I forgot if I did. Dc made the unfortunate choice of including almost every single filmed DC property into the DCU. Well it's the DCEU now I think. But at any rate I thought that was extremely stupid to do also. Dang that Flash movie as AWFUL... ....wasn't flash also in the crisis TV series??? ....that crap is getting so overlooked as well now. Let's just make everything one big films multiverse. Folks who never read a comic will love it and not her confused....NOT.. I see all the comics movies and series following the EXACT Trajectory of the comics industry. Exactly.
Comics never fully recovered.
Well, fuck ‘em, frankly speaking.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.
Well, different strokes. Some people like that sort of thing (of which there was rather a lot in 80s lit and culture at the time), some don’t; that’s fine.I remember when they first did it back in the She Hulk comics. 1988 or 89 I think.

Oh, I am im complete agreement that this will ultimately be the deciding factor.
I'm just giving my opinion based on what has been produced since 2017.
Impossible. Alfred isn't tall enough.
Star Trek 09 had probably the biggest audience anything Star Trek ever had, and it was a reboot.
It was and it wasn’t. I mean, technically yes, but the presence of Nimoy muddled things.
They just won’t let the Prime go for some reason.
I imagine someone did some market research where "prime universe" was gooned over by some hardcore fans and they decided they'd do whatever the hell they want but insist it's prime universe
TPTB know what they are doing is a reboot.
I think fans need to learn to suspend their disbelief a little. If you can imagine Voyager and TOS coexist, when the former zipped around the galaxy like it was nothing and in the latter it's a lifelong journey, you're more obsessed with nacelle pylons and shades of gold on the costumes than the actual content of the shows.
I can’t accept it’s anything but, but they are just so coy about it. SNW bears every single hallmark of being a reboot… but we are told otherwise so apparently that’s us told.
I watch SNW as a reboot in my mind and it doesn’t lessen it. It enriches it.
It would be more interesting to me with some characters having open-ended fates.
That’s just it though. We didn’t have to imagine because they made it explicit, repeatedly, that TOS did look like that in TNG, then DS9, then ENT. It was honored, lampshaded and celebrated as looking like it did.
Now we are told it didn’t look like that actually and… well, here we are.
No one cares about history when there's money to be made!
But most people didn't show up to see Nimoy, I don't think. Reboot or not, that movie showed that there is a sizable audience out there for fun exciting space adventure stuff, that Star Trek has some brand pull to its name outside of diehard fans, and that audiences are ready to accept new versions of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest. They squandered away the potential of the movie franchise with long breaks between sequels, but I see no reason to be fearful of doing another reboot in the future.
Exactly this. Same with TNG.
Voyager needed to study Scotty's logs a bit more for all the engine modifications for better speed.
