To help contribute, here's the only meme I've ever done, which I did in response to news that Abrams was working on a new ST movie. And after seeing how well the franchise is going with SNW and LD, I feel it's even more appropriate.

Jorge is a fantastically creative guy. He needs limitations on that creativity, but he is undeniably a foundation of ideas.

JJ Abrams mostly regurgitates without having any truly unique ideas. Anything unique he does have is either a subversion or an unfinished mystery concept that’s film student tier. Especially in Star Wars and Trek, he took a bunch of the most surface level aspects from the franchises and threw them in without really doing anything with them.

His black box storytelling is garbage and the coincidence-based plot in that SW movie was unforgivable.

What's even funnier is when he tells how he came up with his "mystery box" method. He tries to play it off as some kind of profound insightful story from his childhood about magic shops. But then he explains it as the magic shops would package the junk that didn't sell into an unmarked "mystery box" to create intrigue which duped people into buying it. He outright admits he's selling junk

Yeah. In that Jon Stewart interview he straight up says that he never liked Star Trek and that "Star Trek was always too philosophical for me."

He sucks so bad.
