This dynamic DESTROYED Wil Wheaton's life. I don't know what Roddenberry was thinking.... but Wil was one of the top young actors of his era, and turning him into "SIDESHOW WIL" destroyed his marquee value. Wil never fully recovered. No wonder he harbored resentment then and since. It was HIM that helped to forge a new Trek with a new dynamic. He was the fall guy, the sacrificial lamb, so that Stewart and all the others could repel forward. Do you think Stewart feels remorse? He could have said something at the first reading of "Shut up, Wil!", and stopped it before it began. The career arc of this young man would not have been the same if he had. Just goes to show... you take something, help make it popular, and they destroy you along the way.

Wil is that you?
no it didn't, if you watch the interview Will talks all about how his dad and mother abused him and disregarded him cause they saw his older brother as the golden boy
From what Ive gathered, his parents were dicks..but he acts like he was living with Jigsaw and no one knew about it. Its pretty ridiculous and it comes across that way. His seetheing about the Trek cast not doing anything is nuts. Their general response has been "We had no idea" which is accurate, they didnt know largely because it wasnt happening the way he now claims.
He was a ego-driven little shit and the writers liked to shit on him as the years went on precisely because of that reason. Now he is a cuk soi manlet with no real career.
I should have walked out as soon as I saw what was happening.
>grown adults bully teenager
Cool, I’m sure he deserved it for being “egotistical”
Shut up Wesley
OH SNAP!
>Wil was one of the top young actors of his era
delusional. this is factually incorrect.
and how many movies have you been in?
You got fat, Wil
>and how many movies have you been in?
irrelevant
you made a claim about Wheaton pre-Trek and it was false.
I've been in a bunch with your mom, I'm the thirteenth guy on the right.
>getting buttfricked by studio execs and producers to be in movies
No thanks
>
yea, that always happens. actors are always joking with one another, so how was your buttfricking? Mine, great! Ah, another role due to good ass work.
btw, that's sarcasm dummy.
Will being a gay didn't help either.
I just watched Remember Me and everybody ignores Wil at the end. Sad. Baste Picard goes and hugs and gropes Gates MacFadden and Wil is just on his knees like a punk.
you people don't seem to understand, Wil had a bright future BEFORE Trek.
A limp wristed little shit like him?
Yeah we all know what his future was gonna be. If anything he should be grateful for Star Trek showing how shit he was otherwise he would have ended up raped and body dumped in the desert like the real Miley Cyrus was.
>It was HIM that helped to forge a new Trek with a new dynamic.
Really? Wil Wheaton was one of the creators of TNG? Which episodes did he write? I know he headcanoned how the helm worked, which no one noticed. That wasn't very pioneering, however.
But the plot of the episode was that he trapped his mom in a doomed parallel universe he created and almost killed her. Being ignored after unfricking your mortal mess (at the last moment) is the best case scenario.
shut up, wesley
no different than "now this is podracing". look what happened to Jake.
Ask me how I know you're not Wil.
It's because Wil Wheaton was never a great actor, sorry toy soldiers and stand by me and the nipple ring thing and whatever. Yeah he was okay in Leverage but that's not haute couture or anything.
But he IS really good as an interviewer. The Ready Room shows he's on par with a James Lipton type.
So the dynamic didn't do shit, he found his niche and now he's riding ready room money for the rest of his life.
Frick that, it's not glamorous but he's found his cash cow for life. For LIFE. I respect that.
you know nothing.
Why?
Why did he turn into a woman?
>what?!?!? he's tr-
No, I mean in the classical sense.
Effeminate. Prefers female company. Makeup. Got tattoos. Became a "personality".
how many times do you think listening to "shut up" before you think you'd be affected on a deep psychological level?
Judging from my parents, friends, teachers, bosses and wife:never
Can I get your autograph, Mr. Wheaton?
Or they could have followed the Traveller story arc and turned Will into some kind of badass Q level being with his own spinoff show but whatever.
Spinoffs don't work like that. Nothing about it is nearly interesting enough to carry a whole show with dozens of episodes. He MIGHT have been able to appear in like two per season. You can already just look at Q's episodes to see how it would go. They have to constantly tone down or change his powers and he very much requires picard and other crewmembers to play off of to make the episode interesting.
the appeal of Q was his personality + powers and how that played off the others. Wesley had a shit personality and the other characters barely tolerated him. Trying to turn him into Q 2.0 would have been a disaster
>Wesley had a shit personality and the other characters barely tolerated him.
It was a role dumbass. Blame the writers.
I was indirectly. Sorry your grasp of English is so minimal that you didnt understand that...I should not have to say "Wesley had a shit personality, because that is how he was written by the writers." That is implied since I used the character name rather than the actor name.
He has bigger issues
Shut up Wesley!
Once i saw his posts on Twitter sharing how traumatized he was watching Larry David strangling Elmo, i realized this guy is a galaxy-class homosexual.
For someone who worked in TV to take that stance knowing full well that incident was completely staged is the worst kind of homosexualry
Unless it's God tier sarcasm.
Wil is an absolute lolcow. He melted down publicly about some fan that made a crying Wesley crusher lego man, and then when he got made fun of on plebbit, he went in to plebbit threads to argue with people who were making fun of him. Guy is a moron and I'm glad his career was derailed.
>"In this particular custom set, though, Wesley is depicted as a crying child, and that's not just disappointing to me, it's kind of insulting and demeaning to everyone who loved that character when they were kids," Wheaton writes. "The creator of this set is saying that Wesley Crusher is a crybaby, and he doesn't deserve to stand shoulder to minifig shoulder with the rest of the crew. People who loved Wesley, who were inspired by him to pursue careers in science and engineering, who were thrilled when they were kids to see another kid driving a spaceship? Well, the character they loved was a crybaby so just suck it up I guess.
Why can he not rationalize that his character was shit, and people didnt like it. Instead of blaming the writers, he takes ultra personal. People liked O'Brien and his role was continually expanded. The writers were not ignoring feedback.
I saw him at an event in 2009, and he literally did a whole bit about how much Wesley sucks. I guess something happened in the ensuing years that changed his mind, but at the time his attitude basically boiled down to "Yeah, the character is kind of annoying in retrospect."
>everyone who loved that character when they were kids
>People who loved Wesley, who were inspired by him
>not just me
