Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[Mudd]

Huh? Its actually a good way to look at things,

Nope.

 

[Belz...]

Uh.. what dodge? I've had many a post lamenting my side, and he just apparently.. doesn't care, so.. I don't care.. he reminded me of a good song..

"So what?" is a question. Why does it matter what a minor TAS character looked like?

Huh? Its actually a good way to look at things, may want to try it, its great for racism.. Say X at a black person, your a racist, Say comparable X to a white person, its looked upon as okay not racist.. No, both are not okay.. both are racist So, It works!

What in the seven hells are you babbling about?

 

[valkyrie013]

@Serveaux To each there own. Works for me, your mileage may vary.
@Belz... If you don't think it matters, okay, you are your own person, with your own personal opinions, have at it.
I don't share that opinion, I think it matters. If one doesn't stand up for little things, then the people that did it think it won't matter if they do it for bigger things. Though its just me on a random internet site, so I'm kind of pissing in the wind, Owell, makes me feel better to let it out.

Anyways, Have a good night, and how ya'll enjoy the premiere, and Picards finale tomorrow!

Quite a word salad there. Rather incoherent.

 

[Jack Wolfe]

We're gonna need a bucket and mop for all word vomit.

 

[Mudd]

He thinks he's holding his own.

 

[Jack Wolfe]

That's some seriously misplaced confidence. A saner soul would have put the shovel down ages ago.

 

[Tuskin38]

Because it doesn't matter. If it was the other way around, yes.
If we were in some alternate world where white people were an oppressed minority, than it would matter.

If your saying it matters one way, than it should matter going the other way. Doesn't matter what race is changed or who's doing it. One also doesn't need a position of power or position of oppression to be wrong.

@Serveaux Yep I am! Thanks!!

 

[Mudd]

@Serveaux Yep I am! Thanks!!

Well stop. You'll go blind.

Huh? How'd you reach that from my post?? Grand Canyon leap.. Hope it was a super hero landing..

The default FOR THIS EXAMPLE Is.. uh.. white.. as he was drawn and colored as white in TAS.

@Noname Given
So.. same person plays his role in better makeup.. and examples of Trill.. Not an Apples to Apples comparison, more like Apple to a lady bug.. But i do agree, make up, etc. do change, even in the same series.

I always look at things in the reverse, so example, if April was black in TAS and he was cast with a white person in the live action, Most of ya'll would be pissed, as would I, if he was black in TAS, why are they whitewashing him? So, I'm just being the consistant when it concerns any race/gender etc. being changed. Thats it. I was Apoplectic when Scarlett Johanson was cast as Motoko Kusinagi in Ghost in the Shell, and a few other examples.

Here's a match, ya might as well light that cloud of vapor your releasing and really make that hole you've been digging deeper.

So Robert April is the Brian Brophy thing of SNW for now is it?

It’s alright. After we’ve seen a few episodes people can go back to complaining about pew-pew, lens flare and characters having feelings.

Gosh though, I hoped there would be a more positive tone in this thread. Regardless of race, I think it’s great we can learn about April.

I have been a member here for over 20 years, I've learned that positivity here is seldom occurring and often short lived...

Brian Brophy IS Admiral Robert April.

Sadly I'm not optimistic and any good feelings towards SNW will be short lived.

Hopefully this series is better than the rest of CBS Trek, which I haven't been exactly overjoyed with.

 

[Char Kais]

This is from "The Hollywood Reporter" review of the first five episodes:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-reviews/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-review-1235140095/

Perhaps because the effects work on Strange New Worlds is only average, I wasn’t blown away by any of the episodes that involved somewhat weightless ships and objects flying around in space blasting at each other. Meanwhile, anything depicting character trauma felt flat and prestige-by-the-numbers.

Oh great! Trauma!

BTW:
Trekyards, in their review of the title sequence, also noticed the same two things:
Lack of weight of ships (the enterprise) and overall underwhelming/lackluster CGI.

What a great intro!

 

[mswood]

Shouldn't ships in space not have weight? I mean unless surprisingly close to a planet or stars gravity well, or am I not understanding gravity....

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

By weight I suppose they mean mass, as 440m long starships should have a lot of inertia and momentum to overcome when they're moving around.
