It's the first time I've seen an energy whip in American Live Action.
I've only seen the energy whip in Anime / Tokusatsu series.
Do you prefer Phaser beams or bolts?

Trek features absolutely devastating weapons in every interation. Romulan disruptors are absolutely frightening weapons and starfleet phasers are fully realized scifi awesomeness IMO. Beams are best, of course.
Pre-TOS: bolts (both small arms and ship)
Post-TOS: beams (the Defiant excepted)
Kelvin films: bolts (the logical successor to what was depicted in “Broken Bow” and with the MACOs)
I also think that the mix of bolts and twin phasers for the Constitution class worked very well for that particular ship class.

Beams all the way, not a fan of bolts at all, too much like bullets with lights on them, and let's see you heat a rock up while trapped and freezing to death on a cold planet with the bolt version. lol
Do you need us to explain it to you?
I have this image in my head of a Star Trek /Star Wars cross-over where Luke Skywalker was going ape due to some poison a Klingon put in his drink…and he is blocking blaster bolts right and left until Kirk drops him with a phaser beam on spread.
My favorite scene in TAS was the one time you saw the original Enterprise fire phasers and photon torpedoes in combination—with the torps going right between the two phaser streams. I thought that was badass.

Beams give us a good way to discern between phasers and photon torpedos. Easy visual cue to alert us which weapon is being discharged.
If you please.
Well, first the Earth cooled. And then Gene Roddenberry came. But his ships got too big and fat, so he died and they all turned into Eaglemoss models. And then Michael Burnham's phaser started firing bolts instead of beams. I coudn't believe, it she took a great visual effect and...
But the answer is beams.
Beams is for beaming. Bolts is for bolting.
The greatest Bolt was also in Trek.
Anson Mount was Black Bolt.
Just sayin'.

Yes. I definitely want to read this. Without just cut-paste or paraphrasing, please.
Mount was good, and so was Swan. The cast wasn't the problem.Also the worst Bolt
But I digress.
No recognition of Travolta's Bolt?Also the worst Bolt
