    Back To The Future was the only one, the single sole franchise from a past generation that wasn't ruined in the current time and has remained perfectly intact. This is of course due to the fact that the creators basically said "over my dead body" to offers of sequels and reboots, outright refusing Hollywood's attempts to get their grubby hands on it as long as they live and have the rights to their creation. Bless them for keeping that legacy safe from a fate worse than death.

      Well, I can't deny it works!
      You know, I wonder if perhaps another way to guard against this corporate crapification would be to do away with copyright. If anyone can make their own addition to a fictional universe, without fear of being sued, then you get more avenues for good stuff to pop up and for the bad to become just another ditch in the road instead of a massive gorge.

The "Easter special" episode that aired a couple of weeks ago not only got universally bad reviews but also managed the worst UK viewing figures for any episode in the show's 59 year history. Thirteenth Doctor merchandise sales are down the toilet with licensees discontinuing lines and not renewing contracts with alarming regularity while her DVD and blu-ray sales are 5% - 10% what they were are the 10th and 11th Doctor New Who peaks.

    I remember when we had a diverse cast of a white man, an alien, a Southern doctor, a Scot, an Asian, a Black woman and a Russian who made an iconic series which changed everything. They didn't have to signal exactly, in painstaking detail, why each was a valuable asset. None of them had to put the others down to show they were worthy of being represented. They explored strange new worlds, sought out new life and new civilizations and boldly went where no man/one had gone before.

I'm only up to the first few episodes of DS9 in the books (thats a book and a half) But sooooo many of the people involved in old trek say we NEVER beat the audience over the head with a message it was left ambiguous and up to the viewer to decide, and soo many of the cast and crew said its when shows beat the audience over the head with a message of whats right and whats wrong that shows and movies fall into deep problems.

      Thanks for the extra insight on Force Awakens.
      I found Force Awakens likeable but still felt like it was just a remake of A New Hope so was only a tiny bit letdown at first and didn't think about it much deeper at the time so thanks for some further explanation. I've got a slightly older relative that is harder to please in movies yet really enjoyed Force Awakens and was really game for Last Jedi. When Last Jedi came out, he chuckled about and mentioned how he hated it but he also, albeit very lightly, came across like a death in the family had occurred.
      I found Last Jedi jarring but didn't hate it outright at first. The biggest problems I had with it at the time was how easily Snoke was killed and Leia's Mary Poppins in space moment. I partially grew to hate it more because so many people (including my relative) gave their critique online and were instantly branded racist misogynist bigots just for hating the movie even though anybody could race and gender swap the characters all they wanted and you'd still have the same terrible story.
      I only recently realized how stupid Rian Johnson's story choices were as far as his hatred for lore. His believing that people should just like the character of Rey no matter what without any reason to or with any interesting history to go with the character. Just buy into the movie and buy the merchandise as the studio thought would happen. Johnson and everyone else involved (including Abrams, you're right) had absolutely no inkling on how to write and produce good fantasy fiction.

      Agreed. The editing is on point and speaks directly to the audience. I'd like to say it's my generation, born in the 70s but it speaks to all true fans really. The little quips and cuts just really drive it home and make for a well studied and VERY entertaining series of clips and reels of what comes off as bloopers. I love the style of this channel and rewatch many of them just to get a laugh from the old "blooper" style TV shows from the 80s-90s.

      None of the modern shit can harm Tolkien’s work as much as the Peter Jackson films did, because it will probably be shit and everyone will reject it. At the end of the day, everyone recognizes that this crap isn’t real Star Wars, real Ghost Busters, real Star Trek, etc.
      I’m of the same mind as Christopher Tolkien. The Jackson films hollowed out Tolkien’s world and made it an action movie for young men aged 12-25, and everyone lauded it because it was a good action movie. If Arda is dead, it is because Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth killed it.

    I think it's often conveniently overlooked that the general imsaculation of male characters and or repeatedly portraying them as weak or vile not only turns off the male fan base but the female one too. Not to mention that the rise of the Mary Sue leaves many intelligent women feeling belittled as such characters are not seen to overcome adversity and grow but rather are handed greatness seemingly out of sympathy. Basically it's like inviting your wife to play D&D but secretly buffing all her rolls because she's just a girl.

      Yep , as much as we men like to see strong kick ass male hero's women love watching them too , especially if they are good looking.
      I mean you take someone like David Tennant, not someone I would consider to be " good looking" and you give him the roll of Doctor who with his charisma and charm he became a sex symbol for millions of women ( and I am sure some men ).
      Now you take Jodie Whitaker, someone men do not find attractive and give her the role , she then turns it into a annoying, loud , awkward version of the character that neither Men want to look at and women just find annoying
      Same with Thor , what would your female friends rather look at , Buffed Chris Hemsworth or middle aged Natalie Portman?

We shall leave insanity out of it for now.
      There are actually 3 species, Men , males and the Woe of Man. All women are crazy the only difference is the degree, and one does not hand a loaded weapon with a a hair trigger to a undisciplined child. (Which is exactly what has been allowed and done). Men are more rare than ever , Witthaut men there is no sanity nor grounding point for women, so all will suffer. but both are necessary to achieve balance, for without logic being the primary factor and for many various reasons both Organic and Inorganic, It was begun and continuing.

    If we live in an age where you need to literally see yourself in a character (either in race or gender) in order to relate or feel like you could be that character, then the age of heroes and brave stories is over.
    The point of these heroes and stories was never their 'diversity', their 'inclusiveness', or their 'representation'. Every culture has their own stories to draw inspiration from, to see the diversity. The point of these heroes and brave stories was what was inside the hero, what was being told through the story. A type of storytelling which no longer exists. Inward leading out, rather than outward leading nowhere.

      I love the Talkien stories and it didn't bother me as much when they ruined it with the Rings of Crap as much as when they killed Star Wars. My father was a HUGE fan of Star Wars, he grew up with it. Literally. When he died suddenly one day (I know, it sucks, but life, what can you do; also might've been for the best he didn't see the new movies....) my sorry 20-something year old self sat and watched all the original movies, 1 per day, because I hadn't watched them until then, it just didn't interest me. To my dad's horror lol.
      To this day, I still don't love it (sorry diehard fans lol) but I saw what sparked the interest in my father's youth. It is inspiring, epic, different and many more things, it is a good story overall and you can feel it was made by people that loved what they were doing, with passion. Watched the reboots too(Phantom Menace and the like) - also good and in my eyes they fell well in line with the other films. Felt like a modern take on the originals, made very carefully to honor the lore and such. There were even quotes from them that I heard daily irl for some time, which is a very good sign for a movie, especially something as old as Star Wars.
      Then came Mary Sue and dropped a huge steaming one on the the whole legacy of the franchise. It was soul-crushing to watch it get destroyed, as if you are mocking all the previous generations strived for. All that they valued. More than that - it felt like beating up Elmo from Sesame street - uncalled for and totally evil. You just don't do that. And for what - political agenda ? That should be a crime.
      If you can't make anything better than the original, you have no right to make anything at all. Just leave it be. I can accept it if they at least tried and failed but no - they just wanted to destroy it and push their ideas, consequences be damned. They movie being good was never the goal. So yea, to me destroying Star Wars was an unforgivable sin, showing just how far degeneracy can go. Every generations has at least one or a few such movies they will never forget through their lifetime and Star Wars was such a movie for SEVERAL generations.

      The thing is, it is hard to enjoy Star Wars these days, because you know how it will all end up, and that all of it is basically pointless.
      But Lotr is different, because the whole franchise/story is finished. Tolkien wrote his story and that story is and will always be just his thing (Christopher Tolkien maybe adding a few things, but him being probably the biggest Tolkien purist in the world, we can accept his stuff as well).
      No one can ever add anything else to the Tolkien universe or change cannon in any way...the story is complete.
      Sure, you can make addaptions, but I don't think that it will change the fandom in any meaningful way now.
      Not even the Peter Jackson trilogy was able to change canon or the characters in any way and those movies were just viewed as fucking great movies and nothing more.
      When the rings of power come out, they will probably suck, but they won't be able to ruin the franchise...people will be sad about it for a few years, that we can't have another decent movie adaption of Tolkien, but then most people will just fall back to the books again.
      You can't hurt Tolkien lore, everything that is created now is just fanfiction - good fanfiction will be enjoyable and might give you new ideas on how you look at Tolkiens world and characters - and bad fanfiction can get ignored easily.

      Great art style and animation, voice acting, well written characters and a good story with great worldbuilding. Of course it helps that the existing characters are already diverse, but they managed to write complex, interesting, competent characters with diversity in there that didn't piss off many.
      Showing with some creativity and effort you can do it, and no one cares if it is done well.
      But most shows, movies and stuff are lazy, boring and either destroy established characters and/or lore, or look down and break the "bad gender" (from their very strange perspective) and think they somehow promote their thinking that way.

    Seeing what Star Trek has become is physically painful for me. Because to me, it’s obvious what they want to do, which is GoT in Space, and it’s even more obvious what they don’t have the brains to do it. Because they are so isolated from society and bitter about the success of their predecessors, that it actively interferes with their creativity.

I only saw the Jar Jar Abrams Trek movie after its DVD rip became available on Tortuga. I had heard good things about it, but by god, IT WAS HORRIBLE! It wasn't Trek! It was some generic action movie with a Trek skin. And that was when I knew Star Wars was in trouble the moment I heard Jar Jar Abrams was going to direct it. I never saw Discovery, never saw Pukehard. But everything I hear and see about in the Fandom Menace makes me very sad. And glad that I had clocked out when I did, so it doesn't hurt me as much as it could have.

Thankfully the country is small and Germany close by, so we could watch German TV. And on friday they always had some old sci fi show. TOS Trek, BSG, Space 1999. All the classic sci fi shows, and Laurel and Hardy. But all dubbed in German. I think I only heard Shatner's real voice for the 1st time when I saw the 1st Trek film on video. On the plus side I learned to understand and read German from watching German TV. The video age brought us the TOS movies. God I loved the Wrath of Kahn at the time. And I SO wanted to play with those space ships. I think I made a wooden copy of the Enterprise at the time, with the engine nacelles made from a broom stick. Happy times! Not so much when I first saw ST3. I was so distraught when they blew up the Enterprise, I was probably depressed for weeks. ST6 was probably the 1st Trek movie I got to see in theater. I was in university at the time so I went to the theater, had a good time, came home to the room that was my home and the man who rented me that room told me that he had received a message from my father that my mother, who had cancer, was going to die that night and I had to go home to see her for the last time.

By season 7 we had all started to pretend that we didn't even watch the show, and by the end of it we started pretending that it didn't exist.

      @@criert135 see, I disagree, simply because there was never any chance the writing could possibly be good. When you randomly change gender for a character who has been around 50 years, the odds that it's an organic choice as opposed to driven by ideology is around 0%, and when you're dealing with an ideologically driven choice in any kind of story telling it just isn't going to go well. The choice you've made for the character is completely forced, and when that's your starting point, there's nowhere to go. "We're making her a woman because it's time for a female Doctor!" is just not something you can build a narrative around.

    For me, it's Star Wars. Aside from it being the only one on the list I'm most familiar with, looking at the Disney trilogy in retrospect pains me. They had a shot with the Mandalorian, but killed it with a double-barreled shotgun of firing Gina Carano for shit reasons and then erasing the chance of erasing the Disney trilogy in The Book of Boba Fett.
