The spirit of Star Trek is incompatible with Paramount's new MAGA politics, it will be ruined.

New Star Trek movie you say?
With Ellison in control, we might finally get that all-white, all-male Starfleet that non-fans have been begging for
As opposed to the TV series which has to tick every ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation checkbox. No disabled in Star Fleet? (crispy Captain Pike doesn't count).
I mean isn't "the future is for everyone" kind of a major theme in Star Trek?
Also
Uhhh Geordi La Forge????
I mentioned this to my Trekkie friend and he'd like to add "Hemmer is also blind and so is the actor who played him"
Nice to see they are still working a Trek movie, and also nice to see (IMO) that it could be connected to the main timeline.
I am all for new Trek, but they need to fuck right off with the prequels.
Every studio: "What if we instead just go back and write ourselves into a corner and risk pissing people off by breaking continuity."
Edit: For example, I love SNW. But knowing what happens to half the cast removes a lot of the tension. I know putting Pike, Uhura, Scotty, Chapel, M'Benga or the ship in jeopardy will amount to nothing. Even Una. Because we know from "Those Old Scientists" that she later becomes the literal poster girl for Starfleet.
Edit 2: I have a lot of problems with Discovery, but one thing it absolutely did right was stop being a prequel and send the window of storytelling so far into the future that it can't cause story problems for other Trek.
