We need this artstyle again. /s

Looking it now, it reminds me of those Invincible memes people made up.

Naturally I'm watching debates about the canonicity claim break out in assorted places.

As far as I can find, the whole “it’s canon” claim comes from Webtoons in their press release, and no one from Paramount is being quoted making that claim. Unless there’s a separate Paramount press release I can’t find.

So this whole claim is just silly.

Considering that there's unlikely to be a new Trek television series for quite some time now, I think any claims that some bit of supplementary media is canon is unlikely to be tested any time soon.

if i like it, it's canon. if i don't, it's not

life is much simpler that way

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

This is the way.

Interesting that they didn't include Sam Magg's credit as the writer of Star Trek: Picard's Academy, one of the worst comics I've ever read.

This is interesting.

The vertical manga/manha/manhua format is where new GenZ audiences can be found.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hate the vertical scroll style simply because most sites implement it as free scroll rather than a paged book. It's certainly purposeful, but I find it hard to read that way.

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don’t think this is targeted to our age group at all.

The vertical format is grown in anime and Asian dramas as well.

China is starting to be competitive with vertical short dramas specifically produced for the US market.

[–] cuchi@startrek.website 2 points 2 days ago

I ask about target in another thread, I think Paramount dosen't know the Star Trek target either.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Haha, I like the assumption I'm in the wrong age group.

But my point was more that with the vertical scroll setup most sites use doesn't lock on page to page, meaning it's easy to scroll too far and loose track of where you were. I guess technically there doesn't have to be a "page" per say, but all the vertical style content I've read is still technically paginated.

Webtoon’s approach vertical scroll is usually pretty good. I’m a big fan of Batman: Wayne Family Adventures so I’ve read the whole series there. Mostly the scrolling flows nicely and as the artists get experienced in the medium they develop techniques to make your eyes flow better up and down, much like comic book artists have developed techniques to move your eyes across the page.

Got it.

I generally think of the vertical market niche as under 25, not a large slice of the fediverse.

I don’t see though how vertical pagination is much different than social media on phones, which we’re all fairly accustomed to.
