Has Strange New Worlds returned to a more 'hopecore' vision of the future?

I think the 10C storyline is really the only major storyline without tons of mooks being gunned down.

Season 2 as well. Other than those Klingons Georgiou, Voq and L'Rell take out.

As long as we never have to think about the 31st century, Star Trek is about hope. That's also about the setting not the show.

The 31st century, when they’re actively rebuilding the Federation and acting entirely out of hope, and inspiring it where it has been gone?

(And the flip side: Plenty of TOS episodes were pretty bleak, especially early on. “Where No Man Has Gone Before” doesn’t speak too well for humanity; “Charlie X” and “The Man Trap” are tragic, etc.)

In SNW the characters' relationships are fucked. To the point I sometimes wonder why the hell the writers even go so deep there (e.g. the Spock-T'Pring-Chappelle drama).

To tell better stories.

The 31st first century seasons were all about hope though.

How did Dave get mixed up with them?

Yes, and bluntly, I got actively angry with their portrayal of it.

Building the Federation back gets done offscreen and they argue forgiving negligent mass murderers is a happy ending.

Basically, mocking the actual difficulties and saying that the Orion dictator who wants peace needs to die but the genocidal mining barons should be forgiven.

Also, they killed Adam Jensen and that cannot stand.

Would you expect an Ant to put you on trial?

The what now? What mocking of difficulties is there? The Orion dictator wants order at the point of a gun, and iirc the barons work for her. She only wants peace if she’s forgiven. Whereas the Federation’s rebuilding a world where all that’s not a thing. It seems pretty clear-cut.
