One of the saddest days a Trek fan will ever see is the realization that much of the time Old Gene was full of shit

For some of us that came the moment we realized the quality of TNG skyrocketed once Roddenberry wasn't involved with it anymore.

I wonder if someone could set him on a collision course with Chris-chan so we could find out.

Would Bob be able to reconcile "Christine's" hatred of Trump, his protected status as a tranny, and shared love of the same Pop-culture junk as Bob, with "Christine's" past statements of dislike for Obama and Democrats, as well as the fact that he's a southern white mayo-ghoul?

This would be dumb in its own right, but the staggering ignorance specifically in regards to Prime is astounding, because it's one of the most innovative FPS games ever made.

Maybe I'm biased because it's my favourite game, but I'd say even more than Half Life it redefined what an FPS could be: The focus is almost entirely on exploration, traversal, puzzle-solving and scanning the environment to learn more about the world; the combat, fun as it is, always felt more like something you just did in between exploring the different biomes of the alien world. Even the boss fights are more puzzles than pure shoot-bang affairs.

I swear Bob has a fetish for being wrong; getting off on it is the only thing that could explain his dedication to being this fucking stupid.

not to mention the Thief series, Deus Ex and System Shock 2, which really pushed at genre boundaries and were excellent games to boot

The Eugenics Wars concept date back to the original Trek series and the first appearance of Khan.

The TL;DR of the Eugenics Wars is that mankind started dabbling in genetic modifications and designer children. It's unknown if Khan was a designer baby or someone as a kid who was genetically modified, but he gathered up a huge number of genetically modified men and women and conquered all of Asia and the Middle East from 1992 to 1997, when his forces were deposed. All genetically engineered people on Earth were ordered to be killed on sight, forcing Khan and a large number of surviving genetically modified people (who had enhanced smarts, physical abilities, and as a side effect of the whole modification process, borderline sociopathic personalities) to flee into outer space.

Khan's takeover was based on the idea of the genetically modified folk thinking they were superior to normies and that they were super-men that deserved to rule. The original Space Seed episode implied that Khan wasn't a tyrant to the people that he conquered and was a fair dictator type and was more reasonable when it came to debate; at least until the shit that happened between Space Seed and Wrath of Khan happened and Khan broke mentally and became obsessed with revenge on Kirk for all that happened.

what I liked best about Khan is that he was supposedly Indian, had a Persian forename more typically used as a surname, a Korean middle name, a Punjabi surname, and he was played by a Mexican
it was like having a European character called König László O'Shaughnessy, and having him played by a Maori

Among Into Darkness's many, many sins, having Khan played by the whitest of whitebread British actors was far from its least.

This is what happens if you let people who assume everything east of the Bosphoros is a land inhabited by Muslim terrorists who are called Mohammed, Abdul or Ali and are mainly concerned with drilling oil write your scripts.

So originally the Vulcans were the galactic societal equivalent of a doe-eyed broad trying to fix a chronically broken man with the power of pussy?

Keep in mind that the Vulcans had a similar violent past as Earth, and the implication that one of the reasons Vulcan itself is such a harsh and mostly arid world is because centuries of nuclear warfare permanently changed the planet's environment. So when they came across a post-apocalyptic Earth that had suffered decades of warfare, but was nonetheless trying to rebuild society in a better way and had begun seeking FTL travel they probably saw a kind of civilizational kindred spirit.

One of the saddest days a Trek fan will ever see is the realization that much of the time Old Gene was full of shit.

For some of us that came the moment we realized the quality of TNG skyrocketed once Roddenberry wasn't involved with it anymore.

Season 1 of TNG definitely had some turds, and the preachiness of episodes like "The Neutral Zone" were grating as hell. However Season 1 also had quite a few gems, and "Encounter at Farpoint" isn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be.

Further, Gene's vision of the future prominently featured a humanity that had largely gotten over narcissism, egotism, and vanity, and the characters reflected this. Compare that to the insufferable people that are the main cast members of modern Trek series...

I think it's bad-ass. Like he was reassembled from the cultural rubble left by globo-homo.

One of the great ironies of Bob's hubris is that he'll be the villain if you put him in just about any fictional universe he fanboys over. He's the Bowser, the Hedorah, the Thanos.

Nah.

Star Trek villians tend to be very nuanced characters (not the tng or abrams films).

V'Ger was looking for answers, Khan wanted blinded revenge because Kirk just dumped him on a planet and didn't check up on him for 15 years, Kruge instantly clocked the Genesis device as a weapon and an existential threat to his civilization (which it was), the whale probe was just looking for whales, Sybok wanted to meet God and Chang spent his whole life preparing for a war that
suddenly wasn't going to happen because some tard engineers blew up their moon.

Early iterations of the Borg were just "doing what they do" and Picard refused to kill them all when he had a chance. The Cardassians weren't cartoon villains, the Klingons, the Romulans, etc. All of these peoples usually had reasons to be like they were.

Bob is a fat, arrogant manchild who wants to live forever, play with his toys, and have culture adjust to respecting people who like those toys. 0
He's....this guy, who for those who don't have context, is a whiny incel with magic powers who basically kills and abuses anyone who even slightly irritates him or pushes back against him.

in fairness he was partly named after Gene Roddenberry's old war comrade Kim Noonien Soong, who was Korean, and also shared a surname with Data's creator in The Next Generation
your man Roddenberry was probably not familiar with Indian name constructions in general, this being 1966 and the south Asian population of America being negligible at the time

Hopefully he can bring glory to the Islamic Republic of Boilerplateistan.

on the other hand, the surname Singh suggests he was almost certainly a Sikh
historically, Sikhs were double-hard bastards (which is why we were very keen to get them on our side during the conquest of India), and they were no friends to Muslims at all

Canonically, he is a Sikh. Lt. McGivers goes on about it at some length while obviously making a fondue in her panties.

I believe that Gene's biggest problem was that he wanted no conflict whatsoever between the principal characters, which even want so far as no disagreements between them. That said, he was still involved with TNG until his death (during season 4) and then Berman took over from there. Also notice that character rarely ever used profanity--save for Data muttering, "oh shit" for comedic effect in Generations--which characters in Discovery do quite often.

"post-production color grading for rural town now" - this is not only needlessly wordy, its also retarded. You'd think a 'pop culture movie critic' with an associates(?) in media studies would know what look that style of grade is emulating, but no.

This though is just inexcusable. The first feature length film made in Hollywood was called The Sqaw Man and it was about a white dude marrying an Indian woman. Typical middle america, christian values circa 1913 (sidenote: the same director remade this movie like 4 times, Robert would've loved it)

There was a whole bunch of risque and controversial films in the early days of Hollywood. To the point that a lot of communities and even states were setting up film censorship boards.

Then you have the whole Fatty Arbuckle ordeal, which to this day is probably the most famous pre-ww2 Hollywood scandal. All this shit would lead to the big movie companies forming the organization called the MPAA today, along with the Hayes Code.

Now the weird thing is Robert knows about the Hayes Code - he mentions it in tweets and I'd guess his videos too. Its a pretty basic piece of Hollywood history. Yet somehow he forgot this. The early Hollywood moguls were turning out T&A, violence and edgy messaging from the get go. They only stopped when they started getting concerned about government regulation.

Give it a few years. Now that Endgame has come and gone, the MCU is going to begin experiencing the law of diminishing returns. Disney will beat it to death and move on.

But what about Bob? Will he go along with it? Or will he hate Disney for taking away his capeshit?

When the woke shit crashes and burns and kills the Disney MCU golden goose, he'll just blame the right for taking the MCU away from him.

(This BTW is why Disney is sitting on Eternals and why Captain Marvel II/Black Panther II is in pre-production limbo; if Eternals flops HARD, then Disney will be up shit creek and will either have to course correct or say "fuck it" and kill the Avengers line of films/MCU as we know it and rush an X-Men and Fantastic Four reboot, with it explicitly geared towards eventually getting around to reboot the Avengers with new actors down the line. Sitting on Eternals and praying theaters open back up nation-wide, means they can pull a Captain Marvel and buy up theater tickets and juke the box office numbers, while bribing the shit out of all of the major reviewers to make Eternals seem like a huge hit to keep going woke)

. Any government which did try and genocide the Midwest would basically deal with a full-on civil war within 28 days, and would soon discover that the enemy controlled the majority of the grain.

That's why all blue state fantasies of crushing the red states in Civil War hinges on the rest of the world feeding (and in the style that they are accustomed to) the blue coastal states while blue state folk genocide the red states Rawanda style.

Well i think we've found Bob's ideal world...

Is this satire or a Watchmen '19 situation where the creator has clearly created a dystopia but thinks and presents it entirely as though it's a utopia?

You can also thank Ted Turner for a hand in killing off what little remained of the old Pro Wrestling territories. If you have ever bemoaned the fact that the only wrestling games in town are Vince McMahon's and the lost, itinerant mistrals who are the darlings of the indy scene, you can thank Ted Turner, at least in part.

That's actual bullshit. Crockett Promotions was pretty much in a death spiral at the the time in the late 80s and Turner buying it effectively bought them another 11 years. Turner was extremely loyal to the wrestling genre due to it being one of the highest rated shows on TBS during those early years. And WCW itself pretty much would still be alive today if Turner still held power, as the second he lost all power after the AOL merger, WCW was shut down and sold off to the WWE.
