It's the one that's happened before.

Would it be better to drag it out past the point where it runs out of steam, audiences stop paying attention, and it falls so hard nobody does anything else with the Star Trek brand on TV for a decade or two?

"Will you walk into my parlour?" said a spider to a fly...

Probably A Night at the Opera by Queen, which was the first album I ever bought with my own money. A ton of classic tracks, lots of tonal range, weirdass spatial effects from early-era screwing around with stereophonic production, and a hell of a good time any day of the week.

The pageants are the parents' hobby. The kids are whisked into it at a vulnerable stage of development in which they don't have the agency to decide any of it for themselves.

The trouble with something like that is we already have the 90s Mario movie, and the actors' performances (visual as well as voice) and the delightfully bonkers direction and production design are the best things about it. There'd be absolutely no benefit to throwing everything but the soundtrack out and redoing it line-by-prerecorded-line as a cartoon, when if you want a Mario cartoon which looks like the games you can more easily just make a new cartoon (which is what they did.)

I get it, I was swamped that day too.
