    This is why I supported a Tarantino Star Trek, to forever tarnish the brand with violence and language so much that Disney would be afraid to add it to their monolithic catalog of IPs

      Don’t lie. You just wanna see T’Pol’s feet.

      Cause that’s all that’s guaranteed from a Tarantino flick.

        “Quinton, why is 30% of the film close up shots of T’Pol rubbing her feet in de-conn?”

      They could always bring back Touchstone to compensate.

      Modern Disney doesn’t care. They’re releasing Deadpool 3 rated R next year, and Echo in January is TV-MA.

        Disney plus in the UK has that Pam and Tommy show featuring a talking erect penis.

        Have fun with that, kiddywinks.

        Disney has always released r rated movies. They have specific studio brands for that stuff.

      I’m with you, except he wanted to remake Yesterday’s Enterprise, and that would have been a travesty.

    I used to work as an assistant editor for Fox Channel in Argentina many many years ago. And there was this trailer for a star trek movie that had the name on text of the crew on the trailer and the scriptwriter wrote “Zulu” instead of Sulu in the script (my knowledge about star trek is limited to the memes of this community) so I complied and wrote Zulu on the trailer. Nobody else notice and was aired like that. the next day it aired some guy I have never seen on my life entered my island with my producer and the screenwriter and the guy was furious, asking me why I wrote the name wrong and telling me that they had been receiving calls from all latinamerica saying thay we were fucking stupid and had to pull off the trailer from air. I show him the script as it came to me in the email and the screenwriter facepalmed in shame. They asked me to correct the name and re send the traileds asap. After thay I learned thay the guy was like the director of costumers relationship and the poor screenwriter was demoted and transferred to write the trailer of the cooking channel.

    JJ Abrams already directed three star trek movies

    I mean, I’m not really a fan of them, but it is what it is

      I mean, the first one was a fun popcorn flick. Into Darkness was… Eh, not the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I can’t adequately judge Beyond because it came out about three months after my dad died (who introduced me to Trek and sci-fi in general) and he would have loved the ending.

        My dad was a film historian, and there have been so many discoveries and so much movie news he would have loved to know about since he died. I think about that every time something new in the classic movie world comes up.

      Didn’t direct beyond. And it’s by far the best of the Kelvin films.

      You mean the Disney that conservative groups got mad at because two women had a split second “kiss” in a movie, or the Disney that made Song of the South?

        Or the Disney that didn’t let the cops be gay in Gravity Falls, or the Disney that doesn’t let gays in Pixar films, or the Disney that relegated Finn to a minor character for being black

          Didn’t watch Gravity Falls but as far as I knew they were confirmed gay, admittedly in the finale.

          There was also a gay cop in Onward

          I also don’t agree that Finn was a minor character, he was a regular focal point in two movies much to the annoyance of the same conservative groups.

          I’m by no means suggesting Disney is anywhere in the neighborhood of acceptable. Gay characters have a tendency to be tiny roles or unpromoted movies (I watch a lot of movies and I hadn’t seen anything for Strange World before it released). I’m just saying “never” is probably inaccurate for modern Disney.

            Such a good show but they got a gay relationship and AFAIK it was cancelled for having a plot which the exec thought wouldn’t work in a cartoon

      Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up? Because THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER.

          Why do we give Crusher so much shit for her ghostly dalliance, but Yar gets off scott free, when she had full on sex with an android that was only a couple months old from his perspective?

          And don’t tell me that it’s because Rick Berman showed up on set in his true form to kill her off.

      What, so they can lock it behind the Star Trek Plus channel, just 4.99 a month on top of Amazon Prime.

      Now with extra targeted adverts!
