/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

MRW I finally watch Lower Decks and realize that "adult animation" doesn't mean "boring to children", and just means "violence, profanity, and sophomoric humor" (media1.tenor.com)

The Fun Police really misinterpreted this. This is not saying anything about how good or bad LD is. I was just expecting something more like what TAS was to TOS. Other than the fact that TAS episodes were half the length and that the animated nature allowed them to afford to depict more exotic things like underwater scenes and six-limbed bridge crew members, TOS/TAS were mostly the same. They had roughly the same degree of adventure, philosophy, humor, etc. On the other hand, LD targeted a different audience by focusing on qualities that had not been prioritized in any earlier series. I was just disappointed by how different LD is from TAS.

they stole the design and much more from Final Space

fuck that show

You're overgeneralizing. Final Space is just one of a category of adult animated shows with that style, starting with Brickleberry (which for the record is pretty shit and not worth watching).

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

no. tosh os brickle ...havent even seen it. but you say that was the first "space cartoon/animation with modern humor"?

brickleberry looks like its done with Adobe Animate while FinalSpace looks better than the theft star trek did. color grading? huh...also i do not see your fanboy speech: brickle has a different color grading, star trek just stole it from final space. you are basicaly consuming AI slop and now tell everyone it is tasty. sorry man, but you are consuming shit and with that action you lower the future quality of animation and then will have to eat more shit.

LOOOL you're lost in the sauce bud.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't think it's anything like Final Space apart from them both taking place in space. I also don't think they're all that similar in design, but if you want to say the design was stolen, they both resemble Seth MacFarlane shows in design.

seth did some great star wars movies. absolutely. this star trek crime on the other hand stole and killed the humor, graphic style etc from final space. read the creators comments on that maybe. so fuck this show. i even deleted tng from my tv show archive.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You deleted a show made decades before Lower Decks, made by people totally uninvolved with Lower Decks, because of Lower Decks?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

just saying the franchise is dead to me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well that's very silly. Measure of a Man or Darmok are the same episodes now as they were then. Nothing has changed about them. It's like saying the entire franchise is dead to you because Nemesis was horrible. As if that somehow undoes everything that came before it and might come after it.

You're like one of those "the movie ruined my childhood!" people when a remake of something comes out and they didn't like it. No it didn't, you were an adult when you saw it.

In other words-

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

dude, sometimes companies start really nice. like google maybe. and then over time they love money so much that they die inside. zenith passed. i also stopped using facebook. the the star trek franchise is dead. star trek discovery is also over...that was shit too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

you’re right; that’ll teach them! delete your pirated copy of tng to teach ‘em a lesson

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago

yawn. who cares? all i care about is to not support shit people like the star trek franchise and their fans. and in long term that will teach them. fanboys are just hating.
