It’s extremely telling that, for all the nonsense people are finding to condemn Academy for, I haven’t seen anyone leveling "Mary Sue" complaints at Caleb.

He’s been living on the streets since he was a child, but he has a heart of gold. He’s great at hand to hand combat. He’s an expert hacker and can effortlessly penetrate Starfleet computer systems. He’s the best debater in class by a mile. The school chancellor is obsessed with him. The visiting space princess falls instantly in love with him.

But instead of ragging on the objectively OP main character, it's all about Ake and how she sits wrong. Meanwhile I'll never stop hearing about how perfect Michael Burnham apparently was, even if her series showed her to be a perennial fuck up. The double standard is legitimately insane.

THANK YOU. putting aside how many people weren't engaging with the show in good faith in the first place, you had to have been watching a completely different show to walk away with that impression. the whole point of her character in the early show is that she thought she was an infallible protagonist but learned over and over and over and over that she isn't. spock more or less looks into the camera and says as much in S2!

Michael Burnham was a legitimately terrible character, much less protagonist. Kurtzman Trek is trash. Bad writing, bad directing, JJ Abrams ripoff non-stop lensflare... It's just an insult to EVERYTHING that made Star Trek great before these no talent hacks destroyed it.

Your short post history includes unironic use of "virtue signaling" and complaining about DEI. You won't get much support here.

We've done it. We've achieved the Lazy Cliche Singularity.

Enjoy your subpar fake Trek series.

I literally thought this was satire until I saw the comment about post history. Amazing. No notes. Please keep doing your thing.

Satire because Michael Burnham is such a universally beloved character? Discovery is a poorly written show with major tone problems and that mushroom engine crap was just SO stupid it burns. Kurtzman Trek is universally just BAD because the man has no talent.

Beautiful. Stunning. My jaw is on the floor. It's like a living youtube comment. My entire bingo card is full in one comment.
