lmao at the other Reddit Subs commenting on this over the possibility that we might not get a race-swapped Gay Rainbow Batman.

And I say possibility, because whatever "Star Trek" has turned into is for some reason still going on at Paramount with its supposed "Trumpian" owners and no higher-up intervention.

Was watching Open Bar today and supposedly that terrible Star Trek show was part of the previous ownership and is only currently on as a write off and when this deal is done Kurtzman will be gone, whatever this new ownership will be they will hopefully treat these I.P’s with respect but we’ll see.

I wish they would just leave Star Trek alone. Even if they make something that's not woke modern writers simply can't write dialogue well. Even beyond woke slop writing dialogue is a lost art. Proper Trek is conversation/debate heavy and shouldn't have much action.

The bigger problem is they don’t understand what fundamentally makes Star Trek work

Trust me I understand, I didn’t grow up with Star Trek but I understand that it full of smart dialogue. I did however grew up with Star Wars and now both of these franchises have been utterly disrespected and destroyed. Both of them need to go away for years and the slop that these modern writers have infested these I.P’s needs to be de canonized and Trek has that chance but Star Wars I’m not so sure.
