Star Wars fans have always loved the series’ tech-powered socialist utopia, so the cancellation of Star Wars is only fitting. lower deck Capitalism’s biggest lie exposed: If you build it, they will come. That said, we’ve been told our whole lives that success is just about showing off your talents and doing them well. For this StarCraft fan, lower deck was a near-perfect show, but its cancellation revealed two painful truths: greatness doesn’t mean profitable, and the modern hiker simply doesn’t know what he wants.
Do fans want StarCraft: Lower Decks?
Paramount has been understandably reluctant to discuss the numbers that prompted them to prematurely cancel the Star Wars show Discover and lower deckboth of whom unexpectedly had to make the fifth season into its final season. The main hypothesis is about lower deck That’s true, even though it’s much cheaper to make than a show like this strange new worldwhich didn’t get enough views or attract enough new subscribers to Paramount+. While Paramount’s mishandling of the NuTrek territory is part of the reason, I can’t help but think my fans just don’t know what they really want from this series.
Star Wars characters like Michael Burnham love children’s stories like this Alice in Wonderlandso I think it’s only suitable for viewing lower deck To paraphrase another children’s fable: Blonde girl and three bears. although Discover Despite its strong ending, it initially turned off new fans by focusing so heavily on ancient lore that it disrupted the existing canon on everything from the Klingons to Spock’s tangled family tree. Simply put, it’s early Discover Stumbles because it tries to focus too much familiar People and events rather than trying new things.
In contrast, Picard There is the opposite problem. Patrick Stewart himself reportedly wanted the show to avoid having too many connections to other people new generationwhich is just one of the reasons why the first two seasons were such a mess. It wasn’t until the first few seasons failed that Paramount and Stewart gave fans what they wanted, turning season three into a TNG reunion. However, before that killer’s final season, PicardThe biggest failure is always trying to do something thoroughly new rather than focusing on what makes its namesake character so great in the first place.
The next major Star Wars series is lower deckwhich successfully found the Goldilocks balance that fans crave. Each season is filled with hilarious throwbacks to beloved characters from Q to Harry Kim, and the show always has great Easter eggs for longtime fans to enjoy (when I saw Spock Two’s giant skeleton, I almost spat out my drink, it was such an unremarkable role) animated series features). At the same time, the show also proves this by introducing amazing new characters like Boimler and Marina lower deckLike Goldilocks’ favorite bed, it’s “just right” in that it’s able to focus on both the old and the new at the same time.
Great potential
Another thing that the show has “just right” is finding the sweet spot between delivering goofy comedy and creating a killer classic. every episode lower deck The show delivers easy laughs but is never afraid to change the classics in a big way (I especially love the return of Nick Locarno). The series finale ends with Starfleet possessing a stable wormhole into the multiverse, which is more or less an open invitation to future Star Wars writers wilderness Has rich narrative potential.
As a Star Trek fan who fell in love with the series during TNG’s original run, “potential” is the word I most associate with lower deck. The show realizes all its potential, combining hilarious comedy with an exciting story that pushes the boundaries of the series. Honestly, if StarCraft is about infinite variety in infinite combinations, lower deck As the only NuTrek show, it deserves a permanent place in Stovoko (sorry, strange new world) fully embrace this Vulcan ideal.
Unfortunately, the show’s premature cancellation means fans either don’t appreciate the best that NuTrek has to offer, or worse, they don’t know what they really want from this venerable series What. Star Wars understandably gets a lot of heat for its failure to meet fans’ needs, but the common assumption is that Disney brass (for whatever reason) ignored a proven, fan-favorite formula, instead shoving their own brand of puppet-optimized content down our throats.
However, Star Wars is in a much worse place now, no one seems to know what they want from the series, and fans have rejected the world lower deck is one where the franchise is doomed to die a slow death. With any luck, Paramount will bring back Mike McMahan’s groundbreaking show in one form or another to get our favorite sci-fi universe back on track. Otherwise, the term “Star Wars: Into Darkness” doesn’t simply describe the worst movie in the series. It would also depict exactly how Gene Roddenberry’s universe died at the hands of careless executives who were never able to prevent fan disappointment.
