Good summary of my expectations, but let's give it a fair chance first.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Even if it's the best Trek ever made, the reaction to the poster will stand.

[-] bobo1900@startrek.website 10 points 4 months ago

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

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 1 points 4 months ago

There's no way those actors posed for that image at the same time.

I'm really starting to believe.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

The huge rise in fascism I could accept, but THIS???

Star Trek: High School Polycule…? Is that where we’re going?

I’m so confused

All I can imagine is "dumb as hell"

is it me or did they change Klingon physiology yet again?

[-] Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Isn't that character a Tellerite/Klingon hybrid or something?

Or rather multiple characters of varying hybrid-ness.

I guess we can call it tradition at this point…?

At this point I’m just accepting that we’ll have to sit through 3 bad shows to get 1 good one. I guess I’m okay with that as long as they keep cranking them out.

The light source is 3 different sunsets and everyone is too damn skinny

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.

[-] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

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

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

Reminds me of this old meme:

[-] kaitco@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Smiling Klingons? He looks like he doesn’t even care about honor!

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

and a science cadet at that.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Maybe we will finally see some of the supposed non-warrior Kjngons

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

like Alexander?

[-] core@leminal.space 2 points 4 months ago

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

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

"If I'm pregnant there's no way I'll make Nova, Principal Bigsby help me"

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago

wtf did they use AI to generate this poster?

[-] just2look@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

Or it is really bad photo editing/manipulation. That poster looks really bad.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's just a lot of HDR processing. You get this when you extend curves to maximize range and then crank the vibrancy and definition sliders to the top.

it looks like AI because the older Stable Diffusion models had flaws that caused them to prioritize vibrancy instead of realism.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, and the AI generator was set to '90s

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 1 points 4 months ago

I'm laughing already!

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

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

star trek continues and battle of axanar got a cease and desist. and instead they give us this bullshit!!!

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I’m just not hopeful due to the new owners of paramount global…….. sup reruns ::insert wink, finger snap to finger gun::

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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!

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It's not even the aesthetic we want; it's the writing style.

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.

[-] negativenull@piefed.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm hopeful due to the presence of Tig Notaro, Paul Giamatti, Robert Picardo, Stephen Colbert, Oded Fehr, etc

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Those are all the people and characters I want to see. Where is their poster?

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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'
