Still sounds like a plotline five years too late to me.

It also REALLY sounds as if you're slowly coming around to what I was saying on page 1 about how empty meaningless this all is.

Even I can acknowledge this is flat out not very fun or entertaining or possessed of any sort of message.

And I'm admittedly the kind of guy who is like, "Would I have preferred Emilia Clark vamping it up as Spider-Woman and a Skrull Princess/Evil Priestess?"

Yes, yes I would.

I'd be amazed to find a guy, girl, non-binary, or bynar that wouldn't have prefferred that.

Emilia Clarke is an incredibly beautiful woman. What I like most about her, and this is just personal preference/beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, she is a normal looking human being.

I've never found plastic boobs and huge lips to be beautiful. And I'm of the Baywatch generation FYI. I can appreciate Pamela Anderson or Seven of Nine certainly, but i dont find them beautiful. Not like an Emila Clarke or a Sigourny Weaver's Ripley. I actually find Picard era Seven who is wearing clothes to be better looking.

I assume I must be in the minority though as "big lips, fake tits" is what I'm seeing staring at me from every magazine and newspaper in the land.

I've always wondered about that. It's what you see pushed constantly but I've never met anyone IRL who tried to emulate it. Might just be a couple publishing executives have a fetish.

Either that or you need to get out more :D

Lady in my office I used to work at got fake boobs of the kind that'd certainly spark some borg implants jokes from Chuck. She was nice, she said they made her happy, so more power to her I'd say.

Hah! Fun-fact! Voyjager-era Jery Ryan was unaugmented and her... assets were strictly padding-related, though she was naturally well endowed. Rumors about surgical enhancements only surfaced about 12 years ago, so Picard-era Seven is the modified one.

...man why am I still watching this? Inertia I guess, and I suppose it will make the inevitable Pitch Meeting to be funnier if I've actually seen the whole thing to better get the jokes.

Well I’m not sure why anyone’s calling it beauty. Hotness is what’s marketed.

I don't even think it's bad. It's just not good.
