Speaking of appreciation, Greatest Generation has improved a lot since their late TNG days.

Here's my take on Data and why he looked different from TNG, the movies and in Picard. It's all make believe you loving dorks. He's not a real android. Guess what else, they aren't even really in space!

I can't imagine anyone thinking Data looked normal in that trailer. But then again I thought Leia* in Rogue One looked fine and didn't get all the criticism. I agreed with most people about Tarkin's* appearance though; it's like they got too proud of their FX job and decided to press their luck with a bunch of unnecessary closeups. I guess these effects just hit people differently. v  v* eh, can't be too careful I guess

Data doesn't look "normal" but we don't have any goddamn context If they retcon him into always looking like a creepy doll though that would invalidate several of his undercover "I'm from south america" and "Mr Radioactive" bits

Clearly the Data we see in the trailer is holographic and the reason he looks weird is because it's how he sees himself as a result of being uploaded into B4's janky brain, or he's evolved enough to develop self image issues.

Croatoan posted:Why would someone watch Voyager let alone again? Voyager defense crew checking in. No seriously though, I really enjoy this show. As much as TNG and Deep Space 9? Absolutely not, it has significantly more bad episodes then either of those shows, but I still love the characters, setting, and most of the show in general. It's still massively better than Enterprise, and Discovery, both of which are true honest to god trash fires.

FlamingLiberal posted:Disco is way ahead of VOY and ENT, even with its problems Lol no I would say at the very least they're similar in that both shows absolutely get dunked on by their much better contemporaries. by the end of its second season Voyager had turned out at least a couple of okay ish episodes, STD has yet to string a coherent story together without running into massive and obvious plot holes.

"Virtuoso" was a really good episode of Voyager. The first half is very TOS-like in the "planet of hat people" way

Personally I think Data looked passable for what they need, and I am going to cut them some slack because I'm sure they have a decent budget but not like, Marvel money.

2019 Data looks a lot better in motion compared to that one static shot going around where he looks like he's holding a bunch of marbles in his mouth.

EAS has a ton of really cool in-depth analysis about stuff nerds care about when they're into Star Trek a little more than is healthy. For example, here's an oft-cited article about the true size of the Defiant. The site used to feature more interesting analysis, but in the Long Night after 2005 turned into him (and some others) exhaustively cataloging every single prop that was ever on the show.

DS9 has the superior theme (post s4) but Voyager does have good intro effects, if only the show lived up to them.

Isn't there like hours and hours of old footage of Data they could have just like digitally rotoscop'd into whatever they needed? Of course it's easier just to get the actor back but whatever. I find it laff that this is a franchise that recasts like crazy now (  ) but then is going to great lengths to do fan service for this series... oh wait they've blown all of their good will on Discovery so fan service is all they have left.

That's why it's so puffy and his mouth looks odd when he talks. I don't think it's bad though. The dude's 20 years older than the last time we saw him, if you want him to look like an ageless robot what are you going to do. It's not going to be perfect.
