Growing up in the 2000s fucked my brain hard. The sexism, homophobia and racism coupled with the free-range parenting that was simultaneously neglectful while gaslighting everyone into thinking that it was too coddling, and an internet that simply did not give a fuck who it traumatized. All topped off with a resurgence of Western jingoism from the “war in terror”.
The only good thing about that period was some of the videogames were okay I guess but only if you avoid ANYTHING remotely military flavoured. A lot of shit outside of Nintendo was afraid of colour and everything was that washed out brown. Just a miserable time. Everyone was so uncreative and the world had some fucked up Southpark brainworms.
nu trek absolutely supplanted the golden age. the shitass jj abrams movie’s five minute throwaway destruction of romulus was a huge part of picard and the general character of all post 9/11 star trek live action is full of those brainworms instead of being, you know, what anyone actually liked about star trek.
any new thing is going to build on this kurtzman era unless the rights change hands.
Yeah, but no one is watching it. That’s what I’m saying, irs not supplanting anything despite it’s best efforts. The most successful new stuff has been material that fit into what trek was established as. I forgot romulus was was even destroyed by jj Abraham’s cause aside from season 1 of Picard which is best left ignored and has been, there’s been really no indication that it’s even happened.
