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

[Cap'n Calhoun]

I saw a post yesterday where he alluded to the "studio" moving to California...........

Maybe he's hoping to take Paramount's space if Ellison moves it

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.

He was soliciting IMDB ratings (10s, please) for the new video on the Axanar email list. With all the time that's passed, I'm not sure the email list is necessarily full of the kind of review-bombing (review-seeding?) superfans that he needs.

Well, it worked. When I posted the above three days ago it has 28 votes averaging 6.8 (and 6.4 from 24 a few days before that). Now it has 255 averaging 7.8. Given that the first 28 votes came in over a course of several weeks, I assume most of the additional 227 are driven by his request.

When the short previously ranked 6.4 it was near the bottom of the barrel compared to the films (tied with a few and only beating The Final Frontier and Section 31) and below every Kurtzman series other than Academy.

Apparently thanks to his request for review padding, it now ranks higher than any modern series except Lower Decks (tied at 7.8) and Strange New Worlds (8.2). It's also higher-ranked than any film except the 2009 Abrams film (7.9).

Though his claims that Axanar is better than anything Kurtzman is doing still doesn't hold water when (even with padding) it only ranks below the show currently airing new episodes and even the better-rated Prelude (8.2) only ties it.

Not that I fully trust or strongly value IMDb ratings, but considering Peters has been comparing them himself and asking for votes there, it's an interesting comparison.

I got the email where Alec asked for reviews, and I do what I always do with Axanar emails, ignored it. Lately, he's been getting lazy and just putting Axanar in the subject line with a link to a YouTube video. I don't watch those either. Back when things first started, he used to be really good about taking the time to type out what was happening so I can read it on my own time. I don't always have time to watch videos.

I think the only reason he's asking for reviews is so he can brag that what he's doing is better than what CBS is doing. It's one site. When Axanar gets better reviews on other sites like Rotten Tomatoes, then we can talk.

That is exactly what he is doing. In one of his recent rants was trying to even brag about axanar having higher imdb rating then Kahn IIRC. It's pathetic.

Well, I just voted him a "1."

Ditto. Fuck this guy.

They re-uploaded The Gathering Storm. And the fans are going nuts. They're acting as if it's the second coming.

 

[Campe]

And hopefully very soon the second going.

Because Peters clearly knows how to make a product on time and under budget unlike all the other hacks at Paramount.

People are confusing.

I reported it as illegal content.

Why. Is the cropping on this so bad? Like I get they're going for a 2.39:1 look, but its obvious they shot it in 16:9 and cropped it in post. Like, you can adjust these things on a camera, or if you're working on something low end, tape off the top and bottom of the viewer so you KNOW what you're shooting.
