| lol, now listen to this alternative perspective that may match an actual objective crowd Despite the better and more coherent world of star trek, the original show is preachy. Its too preachy. Almost every episode was to be an allegory to a real world issue at that time and its slow, and awkward. Die hards appreciate it more so for the “bold exploration” than what actually happened! Later on the themes began self referencing and evolving into their own lore, while largely retaining a self-contained episodic format. The movie are just fan service or the dream conflict. But remember the human in the audience. They dont want to be preached to, they dont want the origin story of a particular character to be anything more than scifi, instead of the plot piece for now contrived bigotry. Star Wars provides this desired entertainment. A heros tale, over and over again. The classic formula for the acceptance of the masses. Star Wars is not a satisfactory chronicle when completed, but the world building in all of its other shows and actual tv series is more engaging. The original lore in star wars is fantasy and audiences want that. The original lore in star trek is allegories to a real world social issue, and audiences dont always want that. |
