the only thing "unexpected" about Discovery's cancellation is that it took five seasons.

also, the section 31 show is a terrible idea that nobody asked for and I'm not sure anyone really wants. S31 only worked when it was an organization shrouded in mystery, and it was kind of killed as a concept back in Ds9 when they stripped back all those layers of mystery. Not to mention Yeoh's Discovery character is (through no fault of the actress) fucking stupid.

Welp, THAT is the PC world we live in today.
Too many whiners whined and threatened advertisers if they didn't get their way and now have THIS, a watered down and sanitized version of what was once a great concept, ruined by all the thin-skinned whiners of our world.

Imagine an Arkham style Batman Beyond game, or even a new live action movie with Michael Keaton or someone passing the torch to Robert Pattinson.

I assume it was a licensing thing. They can get permission to use these smaller content creators' clips forever for not a lot of money.

In the past they had the ability to use music videos and MTV/Viacom content for the initial airings, but could never put them on DVDs or run them in later years.

I thought it was pretty funny in general, and I don't mind that change. Music videos aren't as huge a part of pop culture as they used to be, and a lot of that space has been taken by TikTok/YT.

It's not as good as either of the two movies, and I never watched much of the original series, but I enjoyed it a lot.
