Star Trek Universe is the umbrella name for everything officially Star Trek. Axanar is not officially Star Trek. It would be like me making a Wolfman fan film an insisting Universal label it a Universal Monsters film.
Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
Garak, certainly you were paying attention when we discussed the matter to death during the course of the lawsuit?
Peters named a date during the last year as the day on which filming was to begin for Axanar. Under oath in court, he was forced to admit that he didn't even have a first draft of a script yet. Essentially the whole thing was a grift to use Kickstarter and the Star Trek IP to raise money so he could build his own studio, and pursue his own film projects. He was happy to make a couple of shorts, and slap the Trek name and logo onto everything from T-shirts to coffee, but his plans to make a film were, until recently, very nearly as nebulous as my plans to write a great novel. It appears what's happening now is happening solely because his backers, who weren't getting their money back any other way, threatened to sue for fraud if Axanar wasn't made.
So yeah, this is nothing to do with Trek, and everything to do with Peters trying to cover his own assets.
i am sure during settlement , the team provide the necessary financial information! that the ressources were going to the project. if this was not the case there would be no settlement
i have never heard of a collective and public announcement of backers threatening to sue.
if we respect the ip owners then we also need to respect their decision on settlement. the parties have moved on from this issue ,apparently some can not
Fascinating to me that there are those out there who still want to idolize Peters and anything related to this sham of a production. The man has done enough to hurt Trek fandom. Personally, I wish anything Axanar related could be added to the F.C.T.
The tendency of fans of anything to get so personally invested in it they won't hear a bad word said ceased to surprise me long ago. Here's a scary statistic for you: on the day Richard Nixon resigned the presidency after being informed by Senate Republican leader Barry Goldwater that if the House impeached him, the Senate would sustain it, 24% of Americans still believed Nixon had done nothing wrong.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
