    Please don't make it a generic US high school drama. There's already enough US-defaultism in Star Trek.

    Also, the image is glossy, it feels like AI generated

    It's going to basically be Saved By The Bell but star trek.

    The more I see of this the more I realize that it's probably not going to be for me. That's fine, I'll give it a try anyway.

    As long as the Ellison's control Star Trek it will never have a return to form. So this will be as bland as SNW S3 was when Fascism is taking hold all over the world. I feel classic Trek would have something to say about that.

    Paramount: We need to ensure this new show attracts as many people as possible while maintaining a strong identity of Star Trek. How can we hit those points with the Ad campaign?

    Marketing: Well our focus groups are saying that a lot of Star Trek fans are still yearning for something closer to the aesthetic of 1990's Star Trek

    Paramount: I zoned out there for a bit but I did hear aesthetic of 1990's. Make that the core of advertising!

    Not sure if this is real or just a piss-take.

    Reminds me of this old meme:

    Still not gonna watch it. The poster neither makes it seem interesting, nor does it indicate someone learned from the debacle that was SNW S3.

    Plus that fucking college jacket.

    Jacket looks slick. I'm in favour of leaning more towards civilian higher education aesthetics and away from military ones. After all, aren't we always being told Starfleet isn't a military?

    We are told Starfleet isn't military, but what we are told and how it (often) acts and is structured like always meant an interesting conflict.

    Also, I don't mind that it looks more like higher edication than military. I mind that it looks too much like what we have nowadays. Star Trek fashion was, though memeable, it's own distinct thing. Like we don't do fashion today as people in the 18th or 19th century, why should 23rd or 24th century fashion look like ours?
    ENT played that nicely, those costumes bridged the gap almost perfectly (especially Starfleet uniforms), looking enough like later (in the timeline) stuff but reminiscend of what we have today, like a natural evolution.

    Bur Academy is to be set in 32nd century, it should be as distant to us as the 10th century.

    Can't wait to see all y'alls bingo cards leading up to this show?

    • Character with dark secret past hinted at in Ep 1 and revealed/confirmed in ep 2 or 5.(Maybe a youthful thug, killed someone / accidental death, or related to a legendary character)
    • Pregnancy scare
    • classroom or messhall inspirational speech by the underdog (teachable moment)
    • cameos, verbatim quotes or callouts to major characters or moments in the first 15 mins
    • bad teacher is good / exceedingly nice teacher is season end villain

    What the fuck am I seeing?

    My boy! Look at what they've done to you!

    Well, they all look like really good F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

    No chance it doesn't suck. They aren't making it for you. They are making it for young people, new audience, so it will be a cookie cutter bs show, with bad acting, no real story with illogical plot holes all around. It will be pointless and cringe.

    These companies are unable to make something good and the proof is that they don't.

    I can't even tell if this is real any more.

    We already had Star Trek Last of the Summer Wine with Picard, and a live action Lower Decks so anything is possible.

    Very gender sterotype in the clothing design. Skirts for women, pants for men. I can already tell its going to be shitty.

    I'm laughing already!

    ... it's not a comedy? Oh dear...

  • source
  • [–] 8 points 9 months ago

    All the other parts aside, how on earth did they make this look so shitty? The quality is awful, colors are too saturated, the lighting is clearly fake, and everyone's skin looks like they slathered Vaseline on themselves.
