CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
We're just a red state.
They're burgers are great. Pretty regular Sunday lunch for me and the kids.
Ballistic trajectory over the Meg.
There was an email today as well to his whole axanar mailing list which hilariously still includes terry mcintosh
Gotta love how he points out that Prelude to Axanar has a better IMDb score than any Trek movie including Wrath of Khan and expects people to take that as a reliable metric.

He neglects to point out that while Prelude to Axanar is well-rated on IMDb, The Gathering Storm currently boasts a 6.4 out of 24 votes, which only beats out The Final Frontier and Section 31 (and ties The Motion Picture, Insurrection, and Nemesis).

Axanar's fans have a lot in common with a certain red-hatted cult of rage-aholics. Demographically they're very similar: older white boomers and younger white incels who love weapons and the trappings of the military but wouldn't last two seconds in the actual armed forces. They're passionately devoted to a specific thing to the point that they claim ownership of it. Furthermore, they're mad because more recent custodians of the thing have welcomed more women and brown people into it than it ever had before, and this makes them feel that the thing is being "stolen" from them and "ruined".
They firmly believe that if the founder of their object of devotion were still alive, he would agree with them 100%, and it's incumbent upon them to "take back" this thing and make it "great again", i.e. turn the clock back to a simpler time that never actually existed.
At the same time, Axanar has given these folks a sense of community they never had before because the personality traits mentioned above make them off-putting to most people. Any "attack" on Axanar, whether it's mild criticism or legal intervention from the folks who own the Star Trek IP, is interpreted as a threat to that community and sense of belonging. And as a result they're ride-or-die for Alec Peters. The next "installments" of Axanar could be nothing more than Alec dropping his pants, shoving his bare butt into he camera, and performing all the characters by doing Jim Carrey's "Mr. Butt" routine, and they would hail it as the greatest series of moving images in all history.
Very fortunately for all of us, none of their nonsense has the power to affect our everyday life.
He's paying lip service to ideals while urinating all over them. Like like the orange man.
By the way, it's $300,000+ he owes Paramount for breaking terms of their agreement, not $30,000 as I previously thought.
Narcissism knows no politics.
Well, it's up to 6.7 out of 28, so The Gathering Storm has now passed Picard, the three movies it was tied with, and Generations. It's also tied with The Search for Spock.
Just for some desperately needed balance, more like the narcissistic diary postings of a disgraced physician.
Lying narcissistic grifters tend to follow similar patterns.
Edit: It's common knowledge you should stay away from YouTube comments. I peeked and had a rude reminder of why.

I left the Axanar bandwagon shortly after the lawsuit because of Alec's actions toward people asking for their money back. I haven't watched Prelude in 8 years, and my blu-ray of it is in a dark place in my closet.
Axanar is not any better than Paramount/CBS produced Star Trek. There was potential, but because of Alec doing what he did after the Indiegogo for the Axanar feature and not using the money the way he was supposed to. I had a feeling something was going on when he sent a financial report out to donors, and I saw salaries, cell phones, and auto expenses being listed. That to me was a big red flag.
The Gathering Storm, I watched it before it was taken out, and I didn't think it was bad, but I didn't think it was good either. I think it needed another screenwriter to polish the script, and another actor playing Garth.
I wish J.J. Abrams had never said anything to put an end to the lawsuit. Twelve years later, and Axanar isn't over because of it. Paramount/CBS/Skydance has every right to keep doing what they're doing as long as he's not fulfilling the terms of the settlement which Alec should be doing.

Had Peters saved a ton of lives, with his big terrible fault being that he — gasp! — enjoyed becoming famous, this would work as a comparison.
Or can watch. In addition to youtube getting DMCAed the video he had posted on his own site got DMCAed as well.
