    Nah, the show has become very stupid on its writing, being partisan with its politics is  only one of its issues.

     

    The new shows are a fucking disgrace that pale in comparison with what came before.

    Like I said, having political themes is not the same as being political.

     

     

     

    LMAO

    Are you fucking serious.

    Are we gonna pretend that characters like Jane Wayne and Cisco arent beloved by the fandom now??

     

    What kind of stupid nonsense is this?

    I have no clue what your trying to say about janeway and sisko. Janeway isn't beloved, alot of the fanbase hates her. Shes usually at the bottom or near bottom of alot of peoples favorite captains.

     

    As well as theirs a bunch of people who hate sisko. Alot of people dont like his take and the way he acts. 

     

    But sisko overall is loved agree its just not as universal as you may think. Star trek discovery was getting shitted on purely because she was female and black. Their was a meme rollinv through thr first seasons talking about how it was getting cancelled.. It started before it even premiered, before we had a good sense of the story or writing purely on thr strength of people hating the idea of a black captain. 

     

    Does this mean i think the whole fanbase is tnat way? No but their is absolutely a huge section of it that thinks like this

    No Star Trek became less subtle because of poor writing and the current trend of ham fisted story telling. If it were a Star Trek only thing it would be one thing but it isn't. It's a universal issue with modern story telling in general. People are too busy saying "Hey look at me, I'm progressive." and forgetting the first rule of story telling is to tell a good story. You wouldn't a get well crafted gem like The Measure of A Man in modern Star Trek . Not only that if they tried a similar concept, there'd be numerous articles prior to the episodes release saying "Hey guys, we talk about (insert issue here) in the 9th episode." Is more about the clout for presenting the message than it is conveying the message in a thoughtful and entertaining way.

    i disagree with star trek specifically. i dont think it has anything to with star trek needing to say "hey we're a progressive show"..its more we've always been progressive. i find modern viewers of shows arent as adept at reading between the lines as in the past. they want to be spoon fed and want everything explained in such a easy manner. like the fact christopher nolan's inception was such a big uproar because people didnt like that they didnt know clearly what the ending meant. i see modern tv like that, they dont like to think and leave any possible grey areas.  i find the writing just reflects the modern fan bases. the writing changed to match who the hell would actually be watching..especially younger people.  broader audiences are the target and not the niche very specific older fan base of star trek.

     

    i also think this idea of star trek trying to be uber woke is wayyyyy over the line of anything they actually did. because they started crying when they saw a black female captain before they actually saw anything in the fuckin show.

    That's not entirely accurate. Shows like Star Trek and Star Wars have always been political. The difference is in the past any political themes were interwoven into the story. The current set of writers for these shows are basically Keenan Ivory Wayans yelling "Message!" in Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood.

     

    Side Note: Yes I remembered the entire title off the top of my head.

    Stat trek became less subtle because people didnt get it. They've been arguing modern star trek sucks because it was never political or as political. And thats been one of the funniest things fans have said. It been so subtle almost hurts it in a way.

     

    Like look at dax is basically a trans person, every new host you respect the new forms wishes and refer to them as whatever gender they are now ans whatever name they want to be.

    Yea that's all it is. Like even if Palpatine operated like Putin and pretended to have those systems in place, like the rebels are gonna sit around and wait on a justice system to investigate the guy they work for. 

     

    Pretty sure a lot of people these days forget Palpatine and the Empire are the Nazis. There is no argument in existence to excuse The Empire. 

    dumb question but how are the empire nazis? i know ive heard this referenced before....but they have aliens in higher end positions. so i never got the comparison.

    Ok, 1 of the interesting things/questions about the Stranger Things world I was thinking about, concerning the Upside Down...

     

      Hide contents

    I'm curious about if Elle created this other dimension, or if it was always there and she just opened the first portal to it.  I'm inclined to think it's the latter scenario... it's an alternate dimension that has always existed, and she was just the first person to make a portal leading to it.  Another interesting detail about that dimension is that it is apparently some years behind....an alternate dimension that is also in the past for some reason... perhaps forever stuck that way?  So imagine if they do a time-jump later in a season 6 (since I doubt 5 would be a time-jump)... say it's 1993 in the real world, yet it's still 1983 in the Upside Down...that one detail could open up some more interesting story possibilities as well.

     

    Spoiler

    They explained it this season. All she did was open the first tear between realities. She tore 1 up but she didnt cause him to transform. Thats a higher power. The smoke spider did that to him, hence his connection to spiders.

     

    Vecna confirmed it was a very old dimension he got launched into.. One not toucbed by humans.

     

    Also i had subtitles on during the last few episodes and one of the sound effects said eldritch humming which kinda implies some cthulu/elder god connection. 

     

    I feel like the time difference has something to do with gates being opened and closed. Like when vecna had his tendrils on our side a season or two back.

    I’m not sure what year that image was made, but I think this was around the time he could only leap tall buildings in a single bound. He couldn’t always fly.

    Silverage superman is notoriously broken. He literally had a superpower to solve every problem. The reason why people couldnt fogure out he was clark kent was he literally had mind powers to trick you lol.
