Nodosaur posted:I'm just saying, if that image of Data and having a "dad bod" are what you all consider fat, then that seems like the gap is rather thin. Did you all think Colm Meaney and his round face with plentiful cheeks was fat too? It's not just a matter of whether it's appropriate or funny or not, it just feels like people's cut off point for this kind of body image keep going further and further down. I dunno man, there's degrees to everything. And the fatness itself isn't what makes the clip funny, it's that it looks bad and fatness just happens to be the way it looks bad. Then the text posts about Fat Data are funny because we remember him as a svelte android who doesn't eat

I'm sorry you feel this way but you're kind of reaching here. Have you seen anyone in here call Spiner a lardass? Or anything remotely more potentially hurtful than "Data is fat now"? Nobody makes fun of Colm Meaney getting a little chubbier between TNG and DS9 because nobody cares, it's some guy aging and getting a little softer. The reason it looks absurd is because they de-aged his face but didn't change his face shape, which is undeniably a thing that changes as you age. The combination of de-aged wrinkles and natural older-guy face shape looks ridiculous. That's all it is.

Fat people are just still safe to make fun of without people realizing you're a piece of poo poo. Crying "Virtue signalling" is a giveaway.

Colm Meaney definitely gained about 30 pounds from 1989 to 1997 sure. Nodosaur have you ever lived outside the US? Americans are pretty chunky on average. Thin adults really are the norm in a lot of places that aren't the US and it kind of checks you on your idea of normal body shapes if you have only ever lived in say the American south or Midwest. Colm Meaney, Avery Brooks, Michael Dorn, and Jonathon Frakes have all appeared on screen overweight in Star Trek roles, not to mention James Doohan and William Shatner. Avery Brooks, Jonathon Frakes, William Shatner and James Doohan have definitely appeared as their Star Trek characters while medically obese.

Look, think what you want. But to me it just feels like the bar keeps getting lower and lower. It's like we're at the point where being slightly plump or just having soft or rounded features is enough for people to joke about how fat someone is, and I can't help but feel thrown off by that. I'm at the far end of the scale away from the rest of you and it just feels jarring to me how the bar keeps sinking lower and lower, is all. I could get into how that all relates to body image and stuff, but Snow Cone Capone already made it clear that that sort of discussion isn't wanted here.

Discuss it all you want, I just think it's an overreaction to making fun of the poor job they did de-aging Data. As I said a few posts back, while I think you're finding offense where there was none intended, my intention wasn't to make you feel lovely, and I've spent a couple of posts trying to explain that.

No, the classic "this franchise has always pandered to nerds, even as the definition of what's nerdy fluctuates and changes" Also, there are people in this very thread defending Star Trek Voyager. Yeah. Star Trek contains multitudes.

Can anyone tell me if that old rear end A/T thread(?) from pre 2008 from the one goon who had all the behind the scenes stories from working on one or more of the 90's series is goldmined/archived? Had stories like Jonathan Frakes always pulling pranks and throwing a bouncy ball near some guys office. Also possibly the Bashir/Sisko real life feud stuff?

piratepilates posted:what on earth It was my first. I eventually warmed up to TNG and would sometimes go out of my way to catch it, but like Voyager and crew were the ones I knew as Star Trek. For a brief time I thought Deep Space 9 was related to Babylon 5 or something lol, it was more of a Star Wars household overall. I still really like it despite the criticism and none of that criticism meant anything to me when I first watched it on UPN. Tom Paris Mutated is the only bit of Star Trek merchandise I have ever bought because Threshold loving rules. I can see which of you will be the small-lobe axolotls once we break the speed barrier too hard that it rapidly evolves us to our inevitable amphibian forms. All joking a salad, the premise alone is a great hook for a Trek even if they absolutely squandered it as fast and hard as they could. There are a lot of characters I like. Kes was interesting even if the core premise of her species sounds like something a babyfur would come up with, I really liked her dumping Neelix's rear end because Neelix is a toxic fuckwad pedo everyone wishes died so they could just have Tuvix. Janeway was written hella inconsistently but overall I liked Mulgrew's take on Captain. Chakotay is no Riker but if they were in Smash Bros, Chakotay could win sometimes. Tuvok is a good vulcan and he had some good episodes on him. As a kid I just didn't care about Tom Paris, nowadays I kind of wonder what he did to both get on the show and get his job in-universe. I feel like Kim could've done anything Paris ended up doing but less lovely. Maybe that's because Kim is also someone they never seemed to know what to do with and decided on doing nothing despite Paris hopping all over the place just be being a useless turdman. Belana was good but her problem was they let Paris leech onto her too. Seven and Doctor are great but that's already common opinion. Looking back it's kind of nuts to be doing 3 star treks at once. One at a time seems like a better pace, surely. Between Discovery, Picard, Orville, and whatever that other academy thing is seems like they're overreaching and it'll all quickly shut back down.

... I'm sorry you think of me that way, but that was not my intention here. This comes down entirely to how I come across, but I'm not trying to do a bit or inflame people for the sake of my own amusement or aggravate anyone. I don't know what I can do to convince anyone otherwise, and this perception of me is probably my own fault, but please understand. This isn't intentional and I don't want to make things unpleasant for anyone. I'm just trying to speak my mind the same as anyone else. If you'd all rather I just stop and not participate in these threads anymore, then I'll leave. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I don't know what else I could do or say that would help here.

I can't tell if the de-aging was a practical effect or all CG or what but it looked goofy as hell and I think it's funny that in 2019 they can't help but make the immortal android man look like a damp potato Honestly it'll probably get more refining passes before the show is ready to launch

Or does it read the situation and bestows fuckability on the fly? Who had to program that?
