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?"
Up until your comment I was really against a Tarantino film.
"So I can cast myself as the de-conn, of course."
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.
Disney already owns Pulp Fiction.
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.
hey nice story! thanks for sharing
JJ Abrams already directed three star trek movies
I mean, I'm not really a fan of them, but it is what it is
*directed two Star Trek movies.
Beyond was directed by Justin Lin which is why it was better than the JJ movies
As well as Star Wars movies
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.
Beyond isn't worth thinking about.
But I honestly love the Bangs and shouting! That sequence was great!
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.
Yeah, but still, fuck JJ Abrams and his abominations
Must go faster? She can't take much more of this, Captain. I've got a bad feeling about this.
Somehow, Khan has returned
Obviously it would be Scotty, not Sulu!
Sulu's the one driving the ship, Scotty just hangs out by the engines and whacks them with a wrench occasionally.
With a bottle of very old scotch in hand.
Going above warp 10 is definitely not recommended.
CBS giving up their baby? Not until it's been milked completely dry.
If Disney acquired it, it would be because they bought Paramount.
Disney would never have allowed Kirk to kiss Uhura.
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.
Um, there was a gay couple in Lightyear. That's a Pixar film.
This news article does not change the simple fact that there was a gay couple in Lightyear - a Pixar film.
Don't forget the Disney that sent a Terminator after Owl House.
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
First same sex kiss between two main characters in a Disney property. Then "the show doesn't really fit our brand"
it was amidst COVID cuts, sure, but probably an easy win for some exec to axe.
So Disney has been the Borg this whole time.
Misters Chekov, fire butt torpedoes.
Misters Chekov Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up? Because THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER.
Misters Chekov Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up?
Beverly Crusher would.
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.
Nah just the regular force ghost
Disney is not in a position to be acquiring large properties right now. Maybe Amazon is interested?
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!
