What's with all the senseless action?


Not just Startrek, pretty much all scifi keeps going for ever larger weapons, by now we're at parallel universes fighting each other with weapons that can wipe out a whole universe and the movies we're getting is basically just fighting with barely any storyline in it.

Where's the good old Startrek idea of exploring the unknown?
I mean some fighting is ok, after all it's scifi action, but why would they completely drop the original idea of exploring and replace it with 100% fighting?

I'm not impressed.

Not about StarFleet. Watch the Fucking Trailer!

I watched the whole movie before writing the above, why would I now watch a trailer?

The trailer told us they were NOT Starfleet, so don't whine about "good old Startrek idea of exploring the unknown". I just watched Section 31, and it was just as I expected from the trailer. Mindless fun, just like most TV since forever.

The Kelvin trilogy started the whole "senseless action" and "CGI porn" shit. Most of the new streaming series are better.

If you go to this link you'll find PROOF that the GODSEND could only wipe out a QUANDRANT (not the ENTIRE UNIVERSE):

As for the other FALSE CLAIM that we get "fighting with barely any storyline, there were also only FOUR fight scenes in the entire SECTION 31 FILM.

And since the STORYLINE that we get in S31 is also the SAME ONE that we got in PICARD (a team of MISFITS who become HEROES and SAVIORS), WHY is it people PRAISE PICARD (which also had more FIGHT SCENES) yet put down S31???

And whenever we EXPLORE the MIRROR WORLD (or another completely different UNIVERSE) then we are also EXPLORING the UNKNOWN. And that also means the ORIGINAL IDEA has NOT been dropped because KIRK, SPOCK, and others from TOS also explored a MIRROR WORLD as well.

Mirror,_Mirror_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series)

"Mirror, Mirror" is the fourth episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek.

The episode involves a transporter malfunction that swaps Captain Kirk and his companions with their evil counterparts from a parallel universe (later dubbed the "Mirror Universe").

"Mirror, Mirror" is one of the most celebrated episodes of the original Star Trek series, and the Mirror Universe was revisited in episodes of later Star Trek series.[1][2]

Still another link tells us this:

Lorca was out recruiting more forces to his side for the coup when (Mirror) Stamets sold him out to the Emperor. The Emperor’s ships came to him and he flew his own ship into an ion storm. The effects of the ion storm caused a transporter malfunction that sent Lorca to the prime timeline (and presumably sent Prime Lorca to the mirror universe).

This method of jumping universes is a callback to the first mirror universe episode, “Mirror, Mirror” from Star Trek: The Original Series. In that episode, it was a transporter malfunction caused by an ion storm that swapped Captain Kirk, Dr, McCoy, Lt. Uhura, and Mr. Scott with their mirror universe selves, just like what happened with Captain Lorca.




In other words, before you complain it would also be HELPFUL to first know the FACTS of the matter that you've complained about. Especially when the NEW TREK does the SAME THING as the OLDEST TREK did (which was also "one of the most celebrated episodes of the original Star Trek series.")

They're pandering to idiots overseas that can't understand American-style story-telling that's beyond bad writing and explosions.

When the NEW TREK does the SAME THING as the OLDEST TREK did (The MIRROR WORLD EPISODE was also "one of the most celebrated episodes of the original Star Trek series"), then it MAKES NO SENSE whatsoever to claim it's BAD WRITING or to say that someone panders to IDIOTS who can't understand US storytelling.
