Yeah, something similar happend to somebody which watch the series with me.
Old Star Trek is really a series who you need to use your imagination to don’t notice the lame special effects, that’s something which was fixed in new Star Trek with high budget visual effects.
This reminds me to people who says bald men are evil, we are in mirror universe already?
So starfleet has quota law?
I came later to the party, but I just watch this today.
Good concept but lacks of Gene Roddenberry’s optimism.
Yes, the ending of the episode is optimistic, but I would’ve liked the Federation to feel confident and secure from the very beginning, and then, as the episode progressed, start having doubts. I understand that they want to add more nuance to the starfleet, but you know what? That’s already what Halo and Mass Effect do. (although the third Mass Effect 3 is ironically a bit more optimistic). I want them to genuinely be able to present a positive vision of the future.
Source of Harry Potter demographics: https://pro.morningconsult.com/instant-intel/harry-potter-fandom-demographics Getting almost 50-50 woman and male in a fandom is VERY hard to get.
Of course there is black people who love what Star Trek do in their universe, but they aren’t a big number of the fandom, Whoopi Goldberg is a great actress, yes, but still the fandom is predominant by white men because the story itself is more atracted to that audience.
I have to source but really, you still gonna denied it.
Still, Harry Potter is enjoyed by boys and girls, my point was not about quality, is how a story manage to get that “all audience taste” goal.
Harry Potter is demographically diverse, instead of Star Trek, even if I like Star Trek way more than Harry Potter.
Yeah, I mean, is a silly complaing, but, surprisely, they complaing about that scene like “the big mistake of the movie” for some reason.
From Studio Ghibli, the ones I know are mostly women—it doesn’t quite reach a fifty-fifty split, at least from my biased point of view.
Maybe that sci-fi optimism is different from other political way of thinking, right?
If you want to know, don’t be offended but the average Star Trek viewer is… An United States white man, heterosexual, sci-fi enjoyer (most likely; a nerd).
Yes, there is transgender people or others, but let’s face it, the majority are from USA and the most average kind of person.
Not as some Star Trek character with mexican, chilean, russian nationality, lesbian women, even the show tell you about diversity, the Star Trek Viewer is not diverse, is mostly from USA. (I’m sure I’m the only one from argentina in this website)
People said “Star Trek Starfleet academy is not for the average white man, is something for true fans” and well, there you have it, cancelled after first season because again, minorities are not really interested in Star Trek. Which is sad.
I’m not against diversity, but the truth is, people want to be identified with the series they are watching. I don’t agree with the complains.
So, my question is, how it feels to have a target if that same target it’s not the people who are interesting in your work? And why most stories have a kind of viewer? (Like I said before)
I think it does matter in fandoms which are like the 60%, literally every single person I meet which like MCU is like “Dude, you remember that forced scene when all girls are in the same scene only for ‘girl power’?”
“MCU” and “Star Wars” has not complaing of “being woke” by the majority of their own fandom? And in compare of Star Trek they are actually more people anti-woke people on the fandom.
As far as I know, people complaing about Rey for being a “mary stu” even with characters as Starkiller without the same complaing the writing just because he is a guy.
I never see women enoying The Fast and Furious.
So there is functional props? Now that makes sense, also, The Next Generation was a very popular series with seven season during seven years production.
I hope this dosen’t offend anyone, but I have the suspiction those Star Trek Auction are also for money laundry, I mean, why someone gonna buy props of a cancelled series or some random costume used in one the old Star Trek series?
“Which are the prompts for this food?”
Even some achievements were bugged.
What a relief, I thought it was canceled too!
I don’t know, DS9 is not that edgy and when there is extremist actions they are complained for not follow the starfleet tradition or being unethicals.
