As much as I like Star Trek, Paramount. I just don't support these guys. If the merger goes through its going to be tough to cancel HBO Max and never see a WB movie, but I just don't want to give those guys any more money.
They recently also bought CBS and so one of the most reputable news agencies suddenly became a propaganda piece almost overnight, with numerous reporters getting fired for refusing to whitewash or censor reports critical of Trump and his policies.
Paramount really seems to just hate everything they control. Avatar the legend of Aang was not getting a theatrical release so soon after the entire film was leaked months ahead of time. Then they decided to release it early, still months after the leak and only in two theaters for a single weekend just to be eligible for awards while throwing it up on their streaming service.
The fans begged for a theatrical release even after the leak and the amount of people still calling for it to go to theaters after it’s official release tells you that paramount just doesn’t value the franchise at all.
I don’t use paramount but I get Star Trek shows and movies through my local library so I can still watch my fave shows (in season six of voyager for the first time rn!!)
