Star Trek: Discovery V3.0 (First Trailer Released)

[Guestx]

It bears no resemblance to previous incarnations of the show which is not appealing.

Well, looks like they fucked it up.

 

[Philo-Publius]

Still looks better than Voyager LMAO

It does not, and that is really sad.

 

[Philo-Publius]

These NewKlings look like melted Ninja Turtles.

They have elongated nostrils, which I find to be racist.

I'm starting to see a pattern here. Uses the word libtard (super original btw), doesn't like any of the captains that aren't white males, doesn't like the fact that Ghostbusters was remade with a female cast. Ok. We get it.

You can't deny that there's a massive trend right now of casting female leads in . . . well, pretty much everything. It's more than just a coincidence, it's a movement.

It's not a movement. They're just looking to make it different somehow, and looking to make money. Basically, Hollywood has run out of ideas, so they just said "I know. Remember that one show or movie? We'll just remake it with a woman as that character instead of a man. That will be different enough, right?"

It's like when you play through Mass Effect. Then you do it again as female Shepard.

i have no problem with a female lead, thats not the issue. the issue is how its clearly being introduced an a lot of SJW tendency.


also i dont mind the more modern look to it but it seems like it should have been a Sequel more so then a prequel. Also im still but hurt to how they treated Axanar

The captain in STD looks so petite too. You would think Starfleet would have some standards in that regard. If she gets into a fist fight with one of those monstrous-looking Klingons, it is going to be comedic.

You don't think there's more to it than just the profit motive though? I mean, the shit is EVERYWHERE, regardless of whether we're talking about Game of Thrones, or movies like Rogue One, Atomic Blonde, and the Ghostbusters remake, or this new Star Trek: Feminism Edition.

If it was just about money it seems like the studios would back off a little because people are starting to voice their discontent.

Scarface will probably be a woman in the new Scarface remake.

Yeah, I mean, I don't objective to a female lead in and of itself. I enjoy movies like Underworld and the Resident Evil series.

But it's becoming more and more obvious that we're actually witnessing a political statement.

It looks very sterile to me. There's no heart there.

I have never been a big Trek fan, but I used to watch TNG with my dad and I've been a VERY casual fan ever since. I was hoping this new show would be something good that would pull me back into the franchise, but having seen this trailer I think there's about a 1% chance of that happening now.

No. There is no clandestine effort, in which all the studios are involved, to push feminism by putting women in roles. They are just trying to make money. And not many people give so much of a shit about whether or not a lead role is a woman that it is affecting their bottom line. People have more important shit to worry about, and are not threatened by the thought of women saying they want to do things that were traditionally only for men.

The thing is, it's cute to see someone like Milla Jovovich run around and kick ass in movies like the Resident Evil films. But it's not at all realistic. Men SHOULD make up the bulk of the warriors and leaders in our stories because in real life men are the ones who can do it.

If that is true, why are they continuing a trend of casting females in lead roles? Ghostbusters is a pretty popular brand that lost money at the box office when women were plugged into formerly male roles.

 

[Dark One]

I wish they would make it like TNG instead of making it so overly dramatic and emotional. If they want a Walking Dead character as captain they should use him

Zombies also don't really exist either, but they keep making zombie shows and movies by the dozen. And yeah, it's totally stupid when they have some 90 lbs chick doing ridiculous martial arts moves and kicking the shit out of huge men. It's also stupid when they have dudes performing all those ridiculous TMA moves and beating up huge guys with guns. Which is why I don't watch shitty movies. Problem solved.

I literally just explained this in an earlier post. They want to make money. Do you seriously think they're taking a hit to their bottom line to forward some feminist agenda? Even if they were, who cares? Don't watch movies if you don't want to. Nobody straps you down to your sofa and staples your eyelids open.

And I literally just made the point that they didn't hit their mark with Ghostbusters, so someone should recognize it's not a good formula for making more money as you suggest. They took a significant financial loss with a brand that should have been a "sure thing."

I didn't watch Ghostbusters (2016), and apparently many other people they hoped would watch it didn't either.

So, if you eat a bagel in the morning, then have a shitty day at work, do you never eat bagels in the morning again?

Of course not. There are obviously other movies out there where they cast women in leading roles, and those movies did well. You would have to be incredibly stupid to believe that they would purposefully lose money on movies to further some ideology. If they make more movies where they replace traditionally male characters with female characters, and they all bomb, they will stop doing that.

But Ghostbusters was shit. And it wasn't simply because they cast women. It just sucked dicks. I think they all know that, and that's why they are trying the same formula again, but with different characters and scripts. Because they think it will make money.
