Spock had a vulnerability that he tried to keep hidden (emotions). His intelligence and dare I say it, his sense of humor was part of it. Leonard Nimoy was handsome and had a genuinely gentle aura. Nimoy himself was very modest despite his talent and achievements.
Also appealing to women who appreciate manly men, this quiet, thoughtful character was the biggest badazz on the ship. In hand to hand struggles, he’s going to win. When the ship gets tossed around and those inside it, he’s the first going to Uhura’s aid. A true gentleman in every sense.
As a four year old when I first saw Star Trek for the first time I can truthfully say I wasn't scared at all of Mr Spock which of course was the main worry of the shows maker's, but Gene Roddenberry insisted he stayed, I in fact was more scared of Dr McCoy shouting at them and I didn't like him much. Spock is a gentle, highly intelligent being and was completely loyal to the Federation and people naturally warm to people like that. On saying all that even at four I found the man in the yellow top and the lovely smile more interesting, still do!
I loved Mr. Spock from the first time I saw him. When Star Trek first aired, I was a teenager. I guess it was the alien/human vulnerability. I would have gladly taken to task (putting it nicely) T'pring for hurting Spock the way she did. As I grew older, I learned what a kind person Leonard Nimoy was especially to his fans. He took an interviewer to task for calling Star Trek Fans freaks. Though I never got to meet him personally I grew to care for him as much as I cared for his alter ego Spock. May he RIP. Neither one will never be forgotten as long as his fans continue to care for them. LLAP
I think there's something quite appealing about a masculine, capable intellectual that has interesting, unexpected moments of vulnerability. I felt similarly about Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager. She was incredibly smart, graceful and pretty, but there was also something very fey and vulnerable about her; innocent, even. Safe to say if it wasn't for Spock, she never would've existed.
DeFactoLeader I haven’t seen Voyager but I know who Seven Of Nine is. (She and Janeway are the only two I’m familiar with from that series) It makes sense if she and Spock are both characters that explore what it means to be human, to be so fragile yet so strong.
This is perfect. I just stumbled on your channel (I was looking for analysis of Heathers and watched that one first) and am now loving binging all your videos, especially the trek ones. Thanks for sharing!
@@realitypoet Yay! Welcome to my channel. Thank you for watching! My Trek analysis are some of my favorite videos, and I have a playlist of my analysis videos on my channel page to make them easier to access.
In real life it doesn't work this way. A lover would be valued for their ability to emotionally share over the long term and to take and give pleasure by the simple, rather human things people do. Spock makes a great fantasy lover, but his always taking your metaphorical statements literally would make his appeal wear thin very fast.
Interesting you mention the outsider shunned by multiple groups due to either lack of familiarity or troubles rooted in insensitivity. Sounds like you may have more experience with this than most would be lead to believe. High school I assume?

Spock is a very good example for nontoxic masculinity.
He is the example of a perfect Human and the fact that he is non even human
Yeah that's pretty much it. Except when he looses his shit.

The thing about Spock, at least for me, was his confidence. He was confidently intelligent, attractive, sexy and sure of himself.
I can relate so much to the let me hug you part

I was watching The Motion Picture with my mother the other day and *gasped* during that scene
I absolutely adore his voice! ❤

Yeah, he's the most compelling character. That's pretty much it.

Great video, can we expect one on Quark next?

I have autism and don't trust others until I get to know them, It could take a couple weeks to a month.
Spock plays hard to get. Drives the ladies wild. 😁

Ironically, she married Nimoy's son.
