Jesus Christ, yeah that's a good one. What show is that even?
I've been spending a lot of time deconstructing my surroundings and the media I consume in general, and given any amount of historical context, it's wild that this is just accepted.
Why yes, I'd love to see a character scream as someone pulls out their eye while they're wide awake. Really want to see that on Star Trek. That's what the whimsical sci-fi show was missing.
What's worse is that they already had a torture episode in TNG and it actually dealt with it in a mature manner, like actually showing torture as the useless intelligence extractor it is and just done for the pleasure of the torturer.
I remember when Man of Steel came out and a lot of the criticism around that was the senseless destruction in the last part of the movie.
It was almost always met with the response "well, that's what would happen if two superheroes fought in real life" which I always thought was strange. Art is not real life. It never can be real. At its closest, it is an interpretation of reality through whatever mechanism you use. Hundreds of people all collaborated to show 9/11 times a thousand happen on-screen with the colour palette grimmer than Schindler's List.
You can say "sometimes people die violently in real life" and okay? But it was someone's artistic choice to portray that. It didn't just happen, the person making the art chose to portray torture, murder, rape etc.
If you're going to show something like that, then you have to accept the incredible weight that comes with those actions. If your character dies violently on-screen it better be for a better reason than "gotta give Seven of Nine something to do, like revenge or something idk".
Please shitpost about the treats, I can't take it anymore in this fascist hellhole

Ah loyalty, the stupidest fucking thing people have. Loyalty to their damn treats, but fine with people wallowing in abject poverty the world over.

it's the sheen of modern cinematography that makes it perceived as less gauche
They had this in Star Trek: Picard.

Now it's reduced to shock value nonsense.

Nolan was just a producer. Snyder was the director.
But he definitely had an influence, especially after his "realistic" Dark Knight trilogy.
