“We’re already canceled, so let’s do whatever we want.”
Flashes of 90’s X-Men after they shipped production to a tiny Filipino studio. Weird shit.
Ah lawd, not handsome Beast.
Please don’t let my wife see this picture
“Beast’s head is too big for his body. We either need to make his head smaller, or his body bigger. Y’know what? Let’s play it safe and do both.”
I’m not subbed to this community but you guys always have the best posts lol
It fills me with the same sort of glee as whenever an Ich_iel post hits the front page
The Trekkies on here are a great group for sure.
join us…
There is way too much lore to catch up on…
Fuck the lore. Half the hardcore fans who know all the lore just use it to bitch about inconsistencies. Dive in wherever you like and everything you need to know will be exposited to you by a convenient captain’s log or an over loquacious android.
Watch a couple of the original cast movies, maybe stream TNG while you’re doing chores and before you know it your one of us
All I had to do was force feed my wife a couple SMW episodes and she said “oh! It’s a melodrama with costumes and lasers, and occasionally they have courtroom episodes where they ignore procedure and monolog and whoever gets the last one wins” and she loves it now
I haven’t seen anything Trek made since 2009. You’ll be okay.
I saw the JJ Abrams movies, but I’ve pretty much just watched the original, TNG, and sometimes DS9 on repeat for years. Finally starting Voyager now…
A Canadian cartoon about caring bears for kids sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would exist in the Federation. It would just be on the Holodeck
Seven of Nine could have some damn peace and quiet in astrometrics
How about now?
No.
…how about now?
I did want to .47 seconds ago but now I don’t have the time. You missed your opportunity kiddo
Memory engram unlocked.
I don’t remember, but that carebears starship is too damn familiar.
Engram never found the engram!
I’m gonna tell my kids this was Star Trek The Animated Series
I had no idea these were Canadian
They aren’t, according to the wiki page.
Care Bears are multi-colored bears, painted in 1981 by (American) artist Elena Kucharik to be used on greeting cards from American Greetings.
The animated series, however, was produced by Nelvana, a Canadian animation studio.
Ah that’s where the Canadian part comes in. Good catch. “The Care Bears” animated series was American, the later “Care Bear Family” series was Canadian.
The Care Bears Family is a Canadian animated television series produced by Nelvana and C.B.I.S. Productions based on the American franchise of the same name, and is the successor series to the American animated series produced by DIC Entertainment
All the best SciFi comes out of Canada.
Say what you want, but I liked the Bobby’s World parody. The only thing I remember about it was he was the captain of the Boobyprise
Fascinating
I think this was pretty popular in Germany
I wore Braveheart-inspired facepaint for a football game once as a kid when I lived in Germany, except it was yellow instead of blue to match my team color.
Another player asked what/who I was supposed to look like, and I said “Braveheart”, but obviously this 11yo girl had not seen Braveheart- the only Brave Heart she knew was from the Care Bears
I got made fun of a lot that day lol
Finland as well. There’s a lot of fans.
What was the german name? Herzbären?
Edit: ah found it. Glücksbärchis
It was pretty popular in the US too.
Somewhat popular in Brazil
Germany changed the dubbing on TOS to make it more… comedic? I wonder if they did the same thing with this lol.
Ireland too. I loved the Care Bears as a young kid. From memory, it was on just before The Getalong Gang in Ireland
No way, I just recently watched an Allison Pregler video about that! (Invidious)
What a wild ride!
Wait, what?
Precisely that. First I’ve heard of it, and now I must, uh, research my heritage.
I have a direct answer to that question! The oral history on how the Care Bears made a Star Trek parody can be found in a recent video by Allison Pregler: https://youtu.be/t_pYuglkn84
That wasn’t a Mandela effect!?!?
I keep discovering things from the 80s kid me would have loved but I never knew existed until my late 40s.
There’s nothing wrong with letting your inner child enjoy it!
I was a kid in this era, saw some of these episodes, and thought nothing of it.
After all, the Muppet Babies were doing Star Wars….
Also Star Trek.
AND an intro where they’re waking up from a nap but it’s interspliced with the scene from Aliens where the Colonial Marines are waking up from hyper sleep on the Sulaco
Wait! How’d they wrangle that? They…oh wait it’s parody.
Muppet Babies would occasionally use actual Star Trek and Indiana Jones footage, they could get the rights because 20th Century Fox. I doubt Paramount let them use actual TNG footage.
