I am so excited. Well, not so much for the games, but for the rest.

Holy shit, Scotty!

Lower Decks teaser trailer (last season. 😢)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTyLSP-sTM

Section 31 film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYfXhCp2UVY

I'm least excited about the film, because I've never really been a fan of the Empress Georgiou character, but I'll give it a chance. Any new Star Trek movie is worth a chance.

The games seem a bit gratuitous.

I'm honestly not happy about that. There shouldn't be a crossover between a Star Trek parody and actual Star Trek, even if it's a really good parody. I'd feel the same if The Incredibles and The Fantastic Four had a crossover.

I'd feel the same if The Incredibles and The Fantastic Four had a crossover.

Although I will point out that The Fantastic Four is looking like it’s set in an alternate 1960s and will clearly involve superheroes AND Michael Giacchino is doing the music for it, so that’s probably as close as you’re going to get…

Seriously? That's actually something I have wanted for an FF movie. One set in the 1960s when the comic debuted.

I would like it even more if it took a tongue-in-cheek 60s Batman tone, but just set in the 60s works. That's not a change, that's just going back to the beginning.

Lower Decks and SNW had a crossover and it was great. (I think they're doing another?) It's certainly better than dropping in Pro Wrestlers as monsters of the week.

Yes, but LD and SNW are both Star Trek. Everything in LD is canon.

Galaxy Quest is not Star Trek. It doesn't involve any Star Trek aliens or ships. It's just a really fun parody.

And while we're on this subject, I also wouldn't like a crossover with The Orville. It's originally a parody and later a tribute to TNG. Let it stay that way.

I'm just not a fan of big shared multiverse things like this. I think it cheapens both originals.

If it was a cross over in a show that would be bad, but a mobile game, not a problem. Should be fun.

Would be happy to have some Star Trek characters come to Fortnite alongside Marvel characters for example. In a fun game, it's not a big deal.

I mean I'm not going to plant my flag and die on this hill or anything, I just don't care for it.

[–] 2000mph 3 points 3 months ago

I'm not bothered. No chance I'll actually play these games. Just as long as these sorts of crossovers stay in games and don't cross to other media then it's fine.
