CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

The lawyers from CBS-P will have a *field day* with this grifter once the hammer comes down.

 

I've watched that trailer twice, and now it really makes me want to watch Axanar. (No, not really. I can't back that up.). Apollo footage, with a shot of the Ares being chased by I think a D-7, and then a shot of the bridge crew staring into something. I think it was too short, and the Apollo footage did not tie into the Four Years War at all. I give it a 4, thumbs down, it made me want to close my browser, and I won't be watching it anymore.

 

I think those were supposed to be precursors of the D7 (D6's?), as a big part of the Axanar story is the development of the D7 to fight ships like the Ares and go toe-to-toe with the up-and-coming Constitutions. They've shown footage of their D7's and they're definitely different than the ones chasing the Ares.

 

Latest donor email is the trailer is out, and send us more money. That's about it.

 

Money must not be coming in at a rate Peters likes as I seem to get a new Axanar e-mail asking for donations and claiming his new platform "Works just like Kickstarter" (You know Kickstarter, the platform he's forbidden from using per the Settlement).

[Funny thing is: I got fully refunded and berated in public on the KS thread - as well as in private via a direct e-mail exchange with Mr. Peters that I did document on the original Axanar Lawsuit Thread when it happened; but it seems Mr. Peters never took my name off his distribution list after telling me what a lying hater I was and that I'd never hear from him again as I was now "Blocked". ]

 

In that same vein another email went out this morning that said, in part:

Sounds like Lord Crowdfund is getting a bit desperate.

 

Yep - Hell, I thought he was saying NONE of the Crowdfunding raised went to anything WRT the lawsuit and he got all his legal representation pro bono; and even claimed he won because he got them to settle...

Yet now said lawsuit (and somehow the settlement as well) bankrupted "Axanar?

 

They also used audio from a space events in the first teaser for the first Kelvinverse movie. This reminded me of that more than the Enterprise opening.

 

Are you sure? That looks like John Kelley to me (New Voyages first McCoy). Also i thought that the friendliness between Alec and Vic ended when the big fracas between Vic and James happened and that Vic's association with Farragut and the birth of Continues happened after that.

 

You know it does look a bit like John more than Chuck, now you point that out. Not sure it looks like Larry Nemecek from the first episode or so.

Chuck of course was McCoy in two of the three vignettes Continues produced, as well as the later episodes.

 

LFIM is like waking up to discover Kenneth Copeland is you new neighbor on the left and T.D Jakes is moving in on the right.

 

I have no idea who either of those people are.

 

Yeah, I meant NV. I get the details of those two confused.

 

Only in real life

Copland's net worth around $1 billion
Jake's worth is about $150 million

All from donations

 

Ah, yes. First CBS has no problems with them and they have had multiple letters. Now, CBS doesn't want it to be made.

Wow...that's pretty epic goal post moving.

 

AP’s spinning so hard it’s a wonder his limbs don’t fly off.

I’m surprised the settlement didn’t include a clause that the parties were not to disparage each other.

 

Alec claims it did, so imagine what he'd be saying if there wasn't one

 

Another email today asking for donations by PayPal this time in addition to Ares Digital (or whatever it's called now), and that CBS took all the money during the lawsuit. No, Alec claimed that all the legal work for the lawsuit was done pro bono. He's not willing to admit that he spent all the money on the California studio that he abandoned in the move to Georgia. Axanar already has enough of my money, and nothing to show for it.

 

And another e-mail from Axanar this morning announcing that you can now use Pay Pal to donate.
(He's sure going out of his way to make sure the Axanar faithful can publicly donate in private, eh? )

The well must have really dried up, or perhaps he took a loan from someone with Mob ties and they want their money; or he got a big Sushi bill from Door Dash/Grub Hub, et. al.

 

Someone set up this GoFundMe but at Alec's request changed the goal from Axanar to Ares Studio:
