I think that was the most interesting page to date!
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
Took ‘em long enough to get there! 
I haven't read comics since, I dunno, the mid 70s? With that as a benchmark, this was not impressive. But I bet a bunch of the True Fans are calling this the Real Trek they've been waiting for.
But hey.
I get all of my Axa-News here, so I guess I'll wait to see the reaction. Don't really care one way or the other. I'm just here for the jokes.

Yes but he thinks the Axanar feature script was good.
Yeah, that last page was at least a tiny bit more interesting.
I just remembered one other thing that's been bugging the hell of out me this whole time. They appear to be using the Kelvinverse Stardate system, but I thought everybody involved with Axanar absolutely hated the Kelvinverse movies. I thought they whole reason they were doing Axanar was because they wanted get back to "real Star Trek" after the Kelvinverse movies destroyed the franchise.

So the real title of this should be "Operation Vengeance", because that's what it's cribbing. And if that's the whole film it's a big "nothing".
It's just the concluding moments of the story of how Admiral Yamamoto was shot down over Bougainville in "Operation Vengeance" except with the Klingons in the American role and the Feds as the Japanese with the "twist" that the operation does not succeed.
It doesn't even do the interesting parts of such a story. It just does the pew-pew last 5 minutes of it with another by-the-numbers self-sacrifice of people we have zip investment in.
Snoresville.

Ironic, considering how much AP hated ST09 and everything therein as being "Not True Trek™".
Personally I liked their ship designs and wish we could have seen more of them.

Remember Alec only hated the JJ Verse up until Justin Lin and JJ Abrams expressed 'support' during a Star Trek Beyond pre-release promo event back in 2016. (It was more JJ Abrams wondering why CBS/Paramount was suing a fan for making a film, and he had it on good authority that it would hopefully be settled soon <--- At the time, the statement of course took EVERYONE including the folks at CBS and Paramount by surprise because it wasn't on the Teleprompter and no one knew who - if anyone at CBS/Paramount had spoken to JJ or Justin; but it did start the lawyers talking again at the time.)Ironic, considering how much AP hated ST09 and everything therein as being "Not True Trek™".

Since then of course, Alec suddenly backed off of his hatred of the JJ Verse a bit. (But as others have stated, I wonder how much he really did 'hate' it as they did include some JJ Verse style designs and hell, stole so VFX shot compositions DIRECTLY from Star Trek Into Darkness for "Prelude to Axanar".)

It's simple, he hates any current official Star Trek because he's not the one making it.
Ah yes, quite right, I did forget about this one. Yes, that episode was a curious blip in the seemingly endless life-cycle of this whole affair.
... he's not making ANY Trek....
Ummm...
Also, aside from the Ares, all the Federation ships are background ones from the Kelvin universe, with TOS nacelles slapped on them.
Don't mistake anything Axanar people say for reality. They just lept on the "true Trek" bandwagon because they realised there are a lot of idiots willing to throw money away if they thought it would bring the 1990's back.
Seemingly $10,000 from Trekcetera auction will go towards Axanar:

The RPG that LFIM used as his 'bible' for this whole C.F. (FASA), thrived in the 70s/80s. Strange then, that he (or rather his VFX acolyte) ripped off JJTrek when creating the visuals......(as the VFX guy - forget his name - would seem talented enough to recreate the older, forgotten/obscure ship designs that featured so prominently there)
Tobias Richter. I kind of wondered that as well.
