    I mean, the Star Trek timeline was incredibly shitty for humans up until it wasn’t.

    True. But eventually human empathy succeeded. Call me pessimistic -- the barista sure likes to -- but I just don't see that happening for this timeline!

    We have to go through at least two major conflicts first, ww3 and the eugenics wars, according to trek.

    At least we are on track for those i suppose 🤧

    No, that was the Bell Riots. WWIII is scheduled to start in 2026.

    Did you see the gallery at the trial in Encounter at Farpoint? Mid-21st humanity seems right on track for Star Trek future.

    Nah, that's Hawkman. Ben Aflac is Duckman.

    WTF is a Hawkman? Isn't that Billy Chrystal in that movie Birdman?

    Nah, a Hawkman is a semi-immortal Egyptian who keeps getting reincarnated only to be murdered by the same jerk again and again for thousands of years.

    Also: the worst character of the main ones in Legends of Tomorrow

    That sounds kind of interesting! Is it a series or movie saga?

    That's their origin story according to Legends of Tomorrow, an ensemble DC Comics show where the aforementioned hawk people are on the team. There's also time travel!

    It doesn't feature the best writing or acting ever, but it's pretty fun if you're into that kind of thing 😁
