Also thank you for not posted the frog, OP.The stars don't belong to only himNot Star TrekNot StargateNot even Starfox
>>217404184my tip for when you want to deface the OP: at least put the correct term in the image filename so it still shows up when you search the catalog
Suddenly, Vulcan Zombies!
I calculated the ROI of Star Trek movies. I took budget and box office (USD) figures from Wikipedia and used this formula:ROI = (Box Office − Budget) / BudgetGrouped by era.TOS (Original Series films)Star Trek: The Motion PictureBudget: $44MBox office: $139MROI: ~216% Profitable, but expensive for its time.Star Trek II: The Wrath of KhanBudget: $12MBox office: $97MROI: ~708% Massive hit; best ROI in the franchise.Star Trek III: The Search for SpockBudget: $16MBox office: $87MROI: ~444% Very strong return.Star Trek IV: The Voyage HomeBudget: ~$23M (midpoint of $21–25M)Box office: $133MROI: ~478% One of the most profitable Trek films.Star Trek V: The Final FrontierBudget: $33MBox office: $63MROI: ~91% Underperformed; borderline failure.Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered CountryBudget: $30MBox office: $96.8MROI: ~223% Solid comeback.TOS summary:Low budgets and huge ROI. Only Star Trek V seriously underperformed.TNG (Next Generation films)Star Trek: GenerationsBudget: $35MBox office: $118MROI: ~237% Strong financial start.Star Trek: First ContactBudget: $45MBox office: $146MROI: ~224% Financially successful and well received.Star Trek: InsurrectionBudget: $70MBox office: $118MROI: ~69% Disappointing return.Star Trek: NemesisBudget: $60MBox office: $67.3MROI: ~12% Clear flop; did not break even.TNG summary:Early success followed by sharp decline. Nemesis effectively ended the TNG movie era.
Kelvin TimelineStar Trek (2009)Budget: $150MBox office: $385.7MROI: ~157% Modest success; barely profitable by blockbuster standards.Star Trek Into DarknessBudget: ~$187.5M (midpoint of $185–190M)Box office: $467.4MROI: ~149% Essentially break-even after marketing.Star Trek BeyondBudget: $185MBox office: $343.5MROI: ~86% Financial flop.Kelvin summary:Despite high box office totals, massive budgets and marketing costs killed profitability. One modest success, one break-even film, and one flop - not sustainable as theatrical blockbusters.Overall conclusionMost profitable era: TOS films (especially Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home)Most consistent success: Early TNGBiggest failure: NemesisModern problem: Star Trek does not scale well to $180M+ budgetsThis is why the franchise ultimately shifted away from theaters toward streaming and TV.

>>217404455ENT was truly a return to form
>>217404586My favorite Transformers movie is the one with Orson Welles.
>>217404353Star was just as bad as Insaneway for genociding all magical beings
>>217404315>be a hologram>able to look exactly however you want>choose thisnigga i would be a fucking T-rex, or at least a fucking raptor, or like a giant spider just to fuck with people, what the hell lame ass bullshit man, at least the doctor has the excuse of being built by a narcissist, what person could pick peak any creature and choose to be an ugly fat retard looking thing
>>217404609ENTchad detected
>>217404663ugly fat girl is what looks cool to aliens
>>217404678ENT is a blast, my only gripe is how deliberately retarded they make Archer so he can fumble and bumble into their story of the weekits great when he's actually being a competent captainbut its frustrating when he's doing something blatantly unsafe for the sake of "curiosity and exploration!"
>>217404736>its great when he's actually being a competent captainwhen was that?
>>217404757every time he told the vulcan high command to fuck themselves god its nice to see vulcans be insulted to their faces
>>217404757When he raided a civilian science vessel and stole vital supplies leaving them helpless. Even Sisko never made such a ballsy move
>>217404506If you're not including the cost of advertising those movies, your figures are meaningless.
>>217404640The soundtrack for that movie punched above its weight class.
Fuck ACKFuck STDFuck SJWFuck Trek & MortyFuck SPIC
>>217404866dangerously based
>>217404866Kira as a Cardassian was hot as fuck for some reason.
>>217404448it's linked from the previous threadsorry your automated spambots couldn't find the thread from the catalog
I love SA!
>>217404917i'm not a spambot I just like using the catalog
>>217405033is what a spambot would sayyour new excomp name is CASHEW TOTE
wouldn't it be fucking funny if they never bothered to retcon Local Area Network from the minds of the enterprise crew and spock just decided not to tell kirk about her?
>>217404757God the NX class is obviously supposed to be utilitarian and "submarine"-like but it really is so cool
>>217405117She's going to go out in a blaze of glory and sacrifice herself for the timeline or something.
>>217404857idiotic take
>>217404586I hate Krutzman so much it's almost unbelievable.
>>217405055exocomps are not bots they are REAL PEOPLE
>>217404586I liked the Mummy. Cruise rarely makes a bad film.
>>217405137nah she has to become a temporal agent, it's the only way they can justify her having existed at allplus they wouldn't have had her bit with kirk in s2
Voyager bros....we won.
>>217405236That was a decent 'sode in season 2.
>>217405244*except kes
>>217405250i agree, s2 overall was fairly kinomusical haters be damned
>>217405244>sci fi series>only one alien on crew
i remember the episode where it really felt like Archer was acting like how you would expect a true Starfleet captain to act for once: defending the defenseless on principle even when it technically helps the enemy.but it turns out he was actually just being mind controlled to do the right thing and the entire crew was about to mutiny over it. out of all the actual blatantly retarded shit Archer had done that put lives at risk. that was the thing they all wanted to draw the line on. saving babies. Enteprise is something else.
>>217405722Neelix, Kes, Tuvok, B'lana
>>217405244heck, even 7of9 could be considered part alien since she had Borg components
>>217404866Man I want to breed a Cardie babe raw until my dick is so chafed I need to walk bow-legged for a month.
You helped this happen.
>>217405730Complaining about a 30 year old show when everything made since then is orders of magnitude worse?
>>217405786Calm Down, Miles.
.
>>217405722>Harry kim>Chakotay
>>217405822there hasn't been any Star Trek made since then
>>217405138Why? Advertising is part of the cost of the movie that they have to make up in order to break even. It's not just the production costs of the actual movie.
>>217405150Why would you hate someone you've never even met? You really need to get out of your room more often. Better yet, why not write a treatment for a Star Trek show, and several scripts for it? Even if they just end up on a fanfic site, at least you'd prove that you're capable of replacing Kurtzman, instead of just seething about someone more successful than you. Spoiler alert: you've got no game whatsoever.
>>217405922I hate you and I never met you. Hating unlikeable people is pretty common.
>>217405969It's only common to you, and you don't know if it's common to other people, because you never leave your room.
>>217405922shots fired!
why are you like this all day every day
>>217406041I don't pretend I can replace any of the Star Trek showrunners, yet at least I've written a handful of fanfics that I've posted in the usual places. It's far more than the seethers here have ever done, despite having lots of free time on their hands.
>>217406040Yeah, this is a view from my room.
>>217406077I assume that's a rhetorical question, since you didn't address it to anyone. And only you can answer why you are like this all day every day.
>>217406077By rights, this episode should be dogshit, but it's actually kino.
>>217406135Because DS9 understands its characters and has amazing character writing.
>>217406087You live on the Tokaido bullet train as it crosses the Fuji River?
>>217406177Yeah, in an overhead compartment. It has a better toilet than your house.
>>217406163That's typical for a soap opera. Which DS9 is. About mall cops in space.
>we want to be inclusive so we now have wheelchair bound people in a future where medical technology can just make cancer evaporateGood spot /trek/.These people have literally never watched Star Trek. Or they did and this is literally what they managed to take away from it. We've proven Alex Kurtzman only watched the TNG movies. And also failed to understand them.
>217405922hitler
>>217406198Even when you're caught dead to rights lying, you continue to double down. That takes some special retardation.
If you had to choose a government to live under, excluding the Federation, which would you choose? For me, it would be the Romulan Empire.
>>217404736If I were Archer I'd fumble and bumble some of the time, if you know what I mean.
>>217406212you're gonna be mad when I tell you they had been wanting to do a "wheelchair Officer" episode on TNG for fucking years but it never materialized and they finally got a script that they turned into Melora. like that was their whole idea. just a Starfleet officer that has to use a wheelchair. maybe you don't know as much as you think.
>>217406203Have you actually ever watched Guiding Light or As The World Turns or shit? Guiding Light was on the air for like 50 years straight or some shit. It started as a fucking radio show.
>>217406212There was a wheelchair user in DS9.
>>217405790On its own out of context it doesn't seem so bad? It's just a blue space chick.
>>217406077because security refuses to enforce the no trolling rule and he has no life
>>217406265Hey Bashirfaggot can you show us your butthole?
>the LD schizo is now banned from making threads by his own admissionlollmaoroflmao evenThat's good
>>217406261That episode was written by a spiteful cripple who thought sitting in a wheelchair was a choice (and a noble choice for some reason)>>217406269She wasn't disabled, she was native to a planet that had a much weaker gravitational field.
>>217406271It's a male.
>>217406235I'm not lying the bullet train Toto toilet is better than whatever Western garbage you use.
>>217406312You don't know why the user is in the chair.
>>217406261>>217406269And it was shit and they never did it again.

So, on Thursday the anger puppets were crowing that YouTube clicks proved no one was watching SFA and everyone hates New Trek. Then, that stopped. Wonder why?Oh, that's why.
>>217406866He can't because the mods gave him a Stone Cold Stunner and kick him off the board
>>217406751>Why isn't the Education Liaison ripped like an 18 year old Cadet?You didn't even watch the episode.

>>217407044
>>217407110If only we hadn't seen them serving on the bridge of the ship during a crisis in those clips they released a few weeks ago.
>>217407044It's like you're begging to be embarrassed over and over again.
>>217406755jej
>>217407002Why wouldn't he? Have you ever listened to Rick Berman or watched his works? He was concerned with coming in on time and on budget.He vetoed the Romulan warbird and the only reason we have it is because Andy Probert went around him to Gene and then got fired for that.
>>217407139>15,000 dislikes
>>217406772DS9 has a whole episode about a chair chick who refuses to be helped. She falls over.
>>217407126Why are you digging this hole? She's not young or a cadet.Stop making me defend a bad show you fucking retard.
To the guy who was having a go at me yesterday for "feeding the troll" (if he's here): I haven't engaged with said troll at all since then. So how did that work out?

>>217407178>Stop making me defend a bad show you fucking retard.Nobody is making you take retard positions, you're doing that on your ownThe other anon is right, you're an idiot.>>217407189Obviously he's extra motivated with a new show to shill but the rule holds, barring exceptions
>>217407189it worked out great because you didn't contribute to it are you really that fucking retarded that you don't get how this works?

>>217407261>Decisive New Trek VictorySo is there a new season of Lower Decks in production right now?They are making more right? Considering how beloved, critically acclaimed, and popular LD is, there's no way they'd just let it die. right?I mean we won, it's a decisive Nu Trek Victory so I can only assume this is the case.Anyway, we did it!
