If only this happened before Paramount was bought by Skydance and subsequently became a company to boycott.
It is an unfortunately bad time to be a Star Trek fan. Unless, of course, you're okay with supporting genocide. I'm pretty sure that's antithetical to what Star Trek is about, but I'm also fairly certain that this generation of management never really cared. So... Disney, Marvel, Hulu, Skydance, and now Paramount all in the "boycott" pile. I hope the Ellisons don't buy WB Discovery like they're planning. |

I mean...you can also just boycott/ignore Star Trek because just about everything canon post-2005 has been....atrocious.

The last Star Trek thing I remember unironically enjoying was the climax of Beyond, which itself was just a TOS episode with a bigger budget. Prodigy was supposed to be OK, but it had a weird release history. Everything else was just one dud after another. |

I'm a Star Trek fan so this is relevant to me but what does any of this have to do with anime? Beyond the Webtoon service?
Strange New Worlds has its moments (or episodes). |

Lower Decks and Prodigy were both quite solid. Discovery eventually got a lot better, and was a solid 6/7 by the time it ended. The usual pattern with Trek shows is that they start bad, but improve over time. SNW is the only one I’ve seen that starts out relatively good but just gets worse and worse the more you watch.
Anyway, I guess the implication here is that these comics will be more anime-styled? Which is cool, I guess, but it’s hard to get too enthusiastic about it as a Trekkie when none of the comics have ever been especially worth our time. |

If you actually cared about what Star Trek was about you wouldn't watch or consume any series Roddenberry wasn't involved in. So essentially anything after TNG should be off-limits. Maybe DS9 if you want to count his blessing to the production before his death. I think you're just trying to use your fandom to gatekeep people. Also as Connor Dino said everything after Enterprise has been bad anyway. As is the fate of any franchise that gets revived 15+ years later and has to try to adapt to huge shifts in writing, direction, and culture. Unless you're a modern fan fond of modern writing styles, of course. I can see the Rick and Morty crowd loving Lower Decks, but as someone who enjoyed the older stuff the newer stuff is way too damn snarky and insincere for me. I'm fine with never touching a Star Trek thing ever again since I doubt anyone could make something half as good as TNG anyway. |

You're not "supporting genocide" by reading a comic. Trying to morally police people for stuff like this is dumb. Also Sisko was bombing refugee colonies with bioweapons in Deep Space 9 anyway.
I think that's basically it. Webtoon is enough for this to be reported on an anime website despite plenty of non-Korean/Japanese stuff being on the platform. No details are known if this is American, Korean, or Japanese. |
