Comment on Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!”
usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 3 days agoI have nothing against a Star Trek comedy show either way, but I’m going to take issue with calling Galaxy Quest a mockery. Yeah, it’s a parody, but I doubt a more loving parody exists. Everything it makes fun of in the first half comes around to be something admirable by the end, from Alan Rickman’s catchphrase to the dweeb with encyclopedic knowledge of the series saving the day. The movie actually embraces us geeks who poured over the Franz Joseph deck plans and says “good for you, maybe your love of this shit will save the world someday.”

You’re right, parody is a better description than mockery.
