I see the trailer, I don’t think is the best serie in the world, but I think can be something fun to watch, to nowdays standards that is enough to me really.
I need to watch it to have an opinion, I have the feeling people need to give a chance at least, I did with Voyager despite all the negative critics I saw.
What you think about this?
It’s not that diversity is a negative. It’s a plus and a core part of Star Trek from the beginning. NuTrek has great diversity and terrible story telling that feels like it’s using the diversity as a crutch.
It’s like Ben and Arthur. I totally support the message that gay marriage should be allowed. However the movie is complete garbage because of how bad the story is told.
I’m bothered by the false dichotomy made in the original post, though. The diversity isn’t the cause of bad storytelling. The problem isn’t that they prioritised one thing over another. Casting a white male lead on Discovery wouldn’t have given them more time to work out the plot, or a more talented stable of writers. The two are completely orthogonal to one another.
If someone wants to criticise the storytelling, they can just do that. There’s no reason to bring up diversity unless they have some desire to scapegoat it.
